Summary

The role of the N-terminal cleavage product of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) on UV mediated apoptosis was investigated in cultured HeLa cells. Ultrastructural analysis of cells expressing caspase-resistant PARP (PARP(D214A)) revealed the typical features of necrosis following UV treatment. However, cells co-expressing PARP(D214A) with the N-terminal fragment of PARP containing the DNA-binding domain underwent apoptosis instead of necrosis. In this study, we have demonstrated that the DNA-binding activity of the N-terminal fragment of PARP is important for the execution of apoptosis. Point mutations were introduced in the DNA-binding sites of the N-terminal fragment. Cells co-expressing PARP(D214A) with the mutated N-terminal fragments neither stimulated apoptosis nor prevented necrosis in response to UV irradiation. The present study proposes that the DNA-binding activity of the N-terminal fragment of PARP in UV treated cells prevents cellular ATP depletion, a mechanism by which necrotic cell death is triggered.

2020 at The Company of Biologists

Despite the challenges of 2020, we were able to bring a number of long-term projects and new ventures to fruition. While we look forward to a new year, join us as we reflect on the triumphs of the last 12 months.

Mole – The Corona Files

"This is not going to go away, 'like a miracle.' We have to do magic. And I know we can."

Mole continues to offer his wise words to researchers on how to manage during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cell scientist to watch – Christine Faulkner

In an interview, Christine Faulkner talks about where her interest in plant science began, how she found the transition between Australia and the UK, and shares her thoughts on virtual conferences.

Read & Publish participation extends worldwide

“The clear advantages are rapid and efficient exposure and easy access to my article around the world. I believe it is great to have this publishing option in fast-growing fields in biomedical research.”

Dr Jaceques Behmoaras (Imperial College London) shares his experience of publishing Open Access as part of our growing Read & Publish initiative. We now have over 60 institutions in 12 countries taking part – find out more and view our full list of participating institutions.
