RESUMO
Poly(ADP-ribosylation) is rapidly stimulated in cells following DNA damage. This posttranslational modification is regulated by the synthesizing enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) and the degrading enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG). Although the role of PARP-1 in response to DNA damage has been studied extensively, the function of PARG and the impact of poly(ADP-ribose) homeostasis in various cellular processes are largely unknown. Here we show that by gene targeting in embryonic stem cells and mice, we specifically deleted the 110-kDa PARG protein (PARG110) normally found in the nucleus and that depletion of PARG110 severely compromised the automodification of PARP-1 in vivo. PARG110-deficient mice were viable and fertile, but these mice were hypersensitive to alkylating agents and ionizing radiation. In addition, these mice were susceptible to streptozotocin-induced diabetes and endotoxic shock. These data indicate that PARG110 plays an important role in DNA damage responses and in pathological processes.
