RESUMO
ADP-ribosylation (ADPr) signaling plays a crucial role in DNA damage response. Inhibitors against the main enzyme catalyzing ADPr after DNA damage, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), are used to treat patients with breast cancer harboring BRCA1/2 mutations. However, resistance to PARP inhibitors (PARPi) is a major obstacle in treating patients. To understand the role of ADPr in PARPi sensitivity, we use liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to analyze ADPr in six breast cancer cell lines exhibiting different PARPi sensitivities. We identify 1,632 sites on 777 proteins across all cell lines, primarily on serine residues, with site-specific overlap of targeted residues across DNA-damage-related proteins across all cell lines, demonstrating high conservation of serine ADPr-signaling networks upon DNA damage. Furthermore, we observe site-specific differences in ADPr intensities in PARPi-sensitive BRCA mutants and unique ADPr sites in PARPi-resistant BRCA-mutant HCC1937 cells, which have low poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) levels and longer ADPr chains on PARP1.

PARP14 is a 203 kDa multi-domain protein that is primarily known as an ADP-ribosyltransferase, and is involved in a variety of cellular functions including DNA damage, microglial activation, inflammation, and cancer progression. In addition, PARP14 is upregulated by interferon (IFN), indicating a role in the antiviral response. Furthermore, PARP14 has evolved under positive selection, again indicating that it is involved in host-pathogen conflict. We found that PARP14 is required for increased IFN-I production in response to coronavirus infection lacking ADP-ribosylhydrolase (ARH) activity and poly(I:C), however, whether it has direct antiviral function remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that the catalytic activity of PARP14 enhances IFN-I and IFN-III responses and restricts ARH-deficient murine hepatitis virus (MHV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication. To determine if PARP14's antiviral functions extended beyond CoVs, we tested the ability of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and several negative-sense RNA viruses, including vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), Ebola virus (EBOV), and Nipah virus (NiV), to infect A549 PARP14 knockout (KO) cells. HSV-1 had increased replication in PARP14 KO cells, indicating that PARP14 restricts HSV-1 replication. In contrast, PARP14 was critical for the efficient infection of VSV, EBOV, and NiV, with EBOV infectivity at less than 1% of WT cells. A PARP14 active site inhibitor had no impact on HSV-1 or EBOV infection, indicating that its effect on these viruses was independent of its catalytic activity. These data demonstrate that PARP14 promotes IFN production and has both pro- and anti-viral functions targeting multiple viruses.
RESUMO
Rubella virus encodes a nonstructural polyprotein with RNA polymerase, methyltransferase, and papain-like cysteine protease activities, along with a putative macrodomain of unknown function. Macrodomains bind ADP-ribose adducts, a post-translational modification that plays a key role in host-virus conflicts. Some macrodomains can also remove the mono-ADP-ribose adduct or degrade poly-ADP-ribose chains. Here, we report high-resolution crystal structures of the macrodomain from rubella virus nonstructural protein p150, with and without ADP-ribose binding. The overall fold is most similar to macroD-type macrodomains from various nonviral species. The specific composition and structure of the residues that coordinate ADP-ribose in the rubella virus macrodomain are most similar to those of macrodomains from alphaviruses. Isothermal calorimetry shows that the rubella virus macrodomain binds ADP-ribose in solution. Enzyme assays show that the rubella virus macrodomain can hydrolyze both mono- and poly-ADP-ribose adducts. Site-directed mutagenesis identifies Asn39 and Cys49 required for mono-ADP-ribosylhydrolase (de-MARylation) activity.IMPORTANCERubella virus remains a global health threat. Rubella infections during pregnancy can cause serious congenital pathology, for which no antiviral treatments are available. Our work demonstrates that, like alpha- and coronaviruses, rubiviruses encode a mono-ADP-ribosylhydrolase with a structurally conserved macrodomain fold to counteract MARylation by poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) in the host innate immune response. Our structural data will guide future efforts to develop novel antiviral therapeutics against rubella or infections with related viruses.

Since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, many genetic variations within its genome have been identified, but only a few mutations have been found in nonstructural proteins (NSPs). Among this class of viral proteins, NSP3 is a multidomain protein with 16 different domains, and its largest domain is known as the macrodomain or Mac1 domain. In this study, we present a virtual screening campaign in which we computationally evaluated the NCI anticancer library against the NSP3 Mac1 domain, using Molegro Virtual Docker. The top hits with the best MolDock and Re-Rank scores were selected. The physicochemical analysis and drug-like potential of the top hits were analyzed using the SwissADME data server. The binding stability and affinity of the top NSC compounds against the NSP3 Mac1 domain were analyzed using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, using Desmond software, and their interaction energies were analyzed using the MM/GBSA method. In particular, by applying subsequent computational filters, we identified 10 compounds as possible NSP3 Mac1 domain inhibitors. Among them, after the assessment of binding energies (ΔGbind) on the whole MD trajectories, we identified the four most interesting compounds that acted as strong binders of the NSP3 Mac1 domain (NSC-358078, NSC-287067, NSC-123472, and NSC-142843), and, remarkably, it could be further characterized for developing innovative antivirals against SARS-CoV-2.

PARP14/BAL2 is a large multidomain enzyme involved in signaling pathways with relevance to cancer, inflammation, and infection. Inhibition of its mono-ADP-ribosylating PARP homology domain and its three ADP-ribosyl binding macro domains has been regarded as a potential means of therapeutic intervention. Macrodomains-2 and -3 are known to stably bind to ADP-ribosylated target proteins, but the function of macrodomain-1 has remained somewhat elusive. Here, we used biochemical assays of ADP-ribosylation levels to characterize PARP14 macrodomain-1 and the homologous macrodomain-1 of PARP9. Our results show that both macrodomains display an ADP-ribosyl glycohydrolase activity that is not directed toward specific protein side chains. PARP14 macrodomain-1 is unable to degrade poly(ADP-ribose), the enzymatic product of PARP1. The F926A mutation of PARP14 and the F244A mutation of PARP9 strongly reduced ADP-ribosyl glycohydrolase activity of the respective macrodomains, suggesting mechanistic homology to the Mac1 domain of the SARS-CoV-2 Nsp3 protein. This study adds two new enzymes to the previously known six human ADP-ribosyl glycohydrolases. Our results have key implications for how PARP14 and PARP9 will be studied and how their functions will be understood.
RESUMO
ADP-ribosylation is an ancient modification of proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules found in all kingdoms of life as well as in certain viruses. The regulation of fundamental (patho)physiological processes by ADP-ribosylation, including the cellular stress response, inflammation, and immune response to bacterial and viral pathogens, has created a strong interest into the study of modification establishment and removal to explore novel therapeutic approaches. Beyond ADP-ribosylation in humans, direct targeting of factors that alter host ADP-ribosylation signaling (e.g., viral macrodomains) or utilize ADP-ribosylation to manipulate host cell behavior (e.g., bacterial toxins) were shown to reduce virulence and disease severity. However, the realization of these therapeutic potentials is thus far hampered by the unavailability of simple, high-throughput methods to study the modification "writers" and "erasers" and screen for novel inhibitors.Here, we describe a scalable method for the measurement of (ADP-ribosyl)hydrolase activity. The assay relies on the conversion of ADP-ribose released from a modified substrate by the (ADP-ribosyl)hydrolase under investigation into AMP by the phosphodiesterase NudT5 into bioluminescence via a commercially available detection assay. Moreover, this method can be utilized to study the role of nudix- or ENPP-type phosphodiesterases in ADP-ribosylation processing and may also be adapted to investigate the activity of (ADP-ribosyl)transferases. Overall, this method is applicable for both basic biochemical characterization and screening of large drug libraries; hence, it is highly adaptable to diverse project needs.

ADP-ribosylation is a posttranslational modification (PTM) that has crucial functions in a wide range of cellular processes. Although mass spectrometry (MS) in recent years has emerged as a valuable tool for profiling ADP-ribosylation on a system level, the use of conventional MS methods to profile ADP-ribosylation sites in an unbiased way remains a challenge. Here, we describe a protocol for identification of ADP-ribosylated proteins in vivo on a proteome-wide level, and localization of the amino acid side chains modified with this PTM. The method relies on the enrichment of ADP-ribosylated peptides using the Af1521 macrodomain (Karras GI, Kustatscher G, Buhecha HR, Allen MD, Pugieux C, Sait F, Bycroft M, Ladurner AG, EMBO J 24:1911-1920, 2005), followed by liquid chromatography-high-resolution tandem MS (LC-MS/MS) with electron transfer dissociation-based peptide fragmentation methods, resulting in accurate localization of ADP-ribosylation sites. This protocol explains the step-by-step enrichment and identification of ADP-ribosylated peptides from cell culture to data processing using the MaxQuant software suite.

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) causes outbreaks of rash, arthritis, and fever associated with neurologic complications, where astrocytes are preferentially infected. A determinant of virulence is the macrodomain (MD) of nonstructural protein 3 (nsP3), which binds and removes ADP-ribose (ADPr) from ADP-ribosylated substrates and regulates stress-granule disruption. We compared the replication of CHIKV 181/25 (WT) and MD mutants with decreased ADPr binding and hydrolase (G32S) or increased ADPr binding and decreased hydrolase (Y114A) activities in C8-D1A astrocytic cells and NSC-34 neuronal cells. WT CHIKV replication was initiated more rapidly with earlier nsP synthesis in C8-D1A than in NSC-34 cells. G32S established infection, amplified replication complexes, and induced host-protein synthesis shut-off less efficiently than WT and produced less infectious virus, while Y114A replication was close to WT. However, G32S mutation effects on structural protein synthesis were cell-type-dependent. In NSC-34 cells, E2 synthesis was decreased compared to WT, while in C8-D1A cells synthesis was increased. Excess E2 produced by G32S-infected C8-D1A cells was assembled into virus particles that were less infectious than those from WT or Y114A-infected cells. Because nsP3 recruits ADP-ribosylated RNA-binding proteins in stress granules away from translation-initiation factors into nsP3 granules where the MD hydrolase can remove ADPr, we postulate that suboptimal translation-factor release decreased structural protein synthesis in NSC-34 cells while failure to de-ADP-ribosylate regulatory RNA-binding proteins increased synthesis in C8-D1A cells.

A series of amino acid based 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines were designed and synthesized to discern the structure activity relationships against the SARS-CoV-2 nsp3 macrodomain (Mac1), an ADP-ribosylhydrolase that is critical for coronavirus replication and pathogenesis. Structure activity studies identified compound 15c as a low-micromolar inhibitor of Mac1 in two ADP-ribose binding assays. This compound also demonstrated inhibition in an enzymatic assay of Mac1 and displayed a thermal shift comparable to ADPr in the melting temperature of Mac1 supporting binding to the target protein. A structural model reproducibly predicted a binding mode where the pyrrolo pyrimidine forms a hydrogen bonding network with Asp22 and the amide backbone NH of Ile23 in the adenosine binding pocket and the carboxylate forms hydrogen bonds to the amide backbone of Phe157 and Asp156, part of the oxyanion subsite of Mac1. Compound 15c also demonstrated notable selectivity for coronavirus macrodomains when tested against a panel of ADP-ribose binding proteins. Together, this study identified several low MW, low µM Mac1 inhibitors to use as small molecule chemical probes for this potential anti-viral target and offers starting points for further optimization.

The emergence of several zoonotic viruses in the last twenty years, especially the pandemic outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, has exposed a dearth of antiviral drug therapies for viruses with pandemic potential. Developing a diverse drug portfolio will be critical to rapidly respond to novel coronaviruses (CoVs) and other viruses with pandemic potential. Here we focus on the SARS-CoV-2 conserved macrodomain (Mac1), a small domain of non-structural protein 3 (nsp3). Mac1 is an ADP-ribosylhydrolase that cleaves mono-ADP-ribose (MAR) from target proteins, protects the virus from the anti-viral effects of host ADP-ribosyltransferases, and is critical for the replication and pathogenesis of CoVs. In this study, a luminescent-based high-throughput assay was used to screen â¼38,000 small molecules for those that could inhibit Mac1-ADP-ribose binding. We identified 5 compounds amongst 3 chemotypes that inhibit SARS-CoV-2 Mac1-ADP-ribose binding in multiple assays with IC50 values less than 100 µM, inhibit ADP-ribosylhydrolase activity, and have evidence of direct Mac1 binding. These chemotypes are strong candidates for further derivatization into highly effective Mac1 inhibitors.

The COVID-19 pandemic reminds us that in spite of the scientific progress in the past century, there is a lack of general antiviral strategies. In analogy to broad-spectrum antibiotics as antibacterial agents, developing broad spectrum antiviral agents would buy us time for the development of vaccines and treatments for future viral infections. In addition to targeting viral factors, a possible strategy is to understand host immune defense mechanisms and develop methods to boost the antiviral immune response. Here we summarize the role of NAD+-consuming enzymes in the immune defense against viral infections, with the hope that a better understanding of this process could help to develop better antiviral therapeutics targeting these enzymes. These NAD+-consuming enzymes include PARPs, sirtuins, CD38, and SARM1. Among these, the antiviral function of PARPs is particularly important and will be a focus of this review. Interestingly, NAD+ biosynthetic enzymes are also implicated in immune responses. In addition, many viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 contain a macrodomain-containing protein (NSP3 in SARS-CoV-2), which serves to counteract the antiviral function of host PARPs. Therefore, NAD+ and NAD+-consuming enzymes play crucial roles in immune responses against viral infections and detailed mechanistic understandings in the future will likely facilitate the development of general antiviral strategies.

Proteins interacting with ADP-ribosyl groups are often involved in disease-related pathways or viral infections, making them attractive drug targets. We present a robust and accessible assay applicable to both hydrolyzing or non-hydrolyzing binders of mono- and poly-ADP-ribosyl groups. This technology relies on a C-terminal tag based on a Gi protein alpha subunit peptide (GAP), which allows for site-specific introduction of cysteine-linked mono- and poly-ADP-ribosyl groups or analogs. By fusing the GAP-tag and ADP-ribosyl binders to fluorescent proteins, we generate robust FRET partners and confirm the interaction with 22 known ADP-ribosyl binders. The applicability for high-throughput screening of inhibitors is demonstrated with the SARS-CoV-2 nsp3 macrodomain, for which we identify suramin as a moderate-affinity yet non-specific inhibitor. High-affinity ADP-ribosyl binders fused to nanoluciferase complement this technology, enabling simple blot-based detection of ADP-ribosylated proteins. All these tools can be produced in Escherichia coli and will help in ADP-ribosylation research and drug discovery.

Among the post-translational modifications of proteins, ADP-ribosylation has been studied for over fifty years, and a large set of functions, including DNA repair, transcription, and cell signaling, have been assigned to this post-translational modification (PTM). This review presents an update on the function of a large set of enzyme writers, the readers that are recruited by the modified targets, and the erasers that reverse the modification to the original amino acid residue, removing the covalent bonds formed. In particular, the review provides details on the involvement of the enzymes performing monoADP-ribosylation/polyADP-ribosylation (MAR/PAR) cycling in cancers. Of note, there is potential for the application of the inhibitors developed for cancer also in the therapy of non-oncological diseases such as the protection against oxidative stress, the suppression of inflammatory responses, and the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. This field of studies is not concluded, since novel enzymes are being discovered at a rapid pace.

SARS-CoV-2 nonstructural protein 3 (Nsp3) contains a macrodomain that is essential for coronavirus pathogenesis and is thus an attractive target for drug development. This macrodomain is thought to counteract the host interferon (IFN) response, an important antiviral signalling cascade, via the reversal of protein ADP-ribosylation, a posttranslational modification catalyzed by host poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs). However, the main cellular targets of the coronavirus macrodomain that mediate this effect are currently unknown. Here, we use a robust immunofluorescence-based assay to show that activation of the IFN response induces ADP-ribosylation of host proteins and that ectopic expression of the SARS-CoV-2 Nsp3 macrodomain reverses this modification in human cells. We further demonstrate that this assay can be used to screen for on-target and cell-active macrodomain inhibitors. This IFN-induced ADP-ribosylation is dependent on PARP9 and its binding partner DTX3L, but surprisingly the expression of the Nsp3 macrodomain or the deletion of either PARP9 or DTX3L does not impair IFN signaling or the induction of IFN-responsive genes. Our results suggest that PARP9/DTX3L-dependent ADP-ribosylation is a downstream effector of the host IFN response and that the cellular function of the SARS-CoV-2 Nsp3 macrodomain is to hydrolyze this end product of IFN signaling, rather than to suppress the IFN response itself.

The epigenome regulates gene expression and provides a molecular memory of cellular events. A growing body of evidence has highlighted the importance of epigenetic regulation in physiological tissue homeostasis and malignant transformation. Among epigenetic mechanisms, the replacement of replication-coupled histones with histone variants is the least understood. Due to differences in protein sequence and genomic distribution, histone variants contribute to the plasticity of the epigenome. Here, we focus on the family of macroH2A histone variants that are particular in having a tripartite structure consisting of a histone fold, an intrinsically disordered linker and a globular macrodomain. We discuss how these domains mediate different molecular functions related to chromatin architecture, transcription and DNA repair. Dysregulated expression of macroH2A histone variants has been observed in different subtypes of cancer and has variable prognostic impact, depending on cellular context and molecular background. We aim to provide a concise review regarding the context- and isoform-dependent contributions of macroH2A histone variants to cancer development and progression.
RESUMO
All coronaviruses (CoVs) contain a macrodomain, also termed Mac1, in nonstructural protein 3 (nsp3) that binds and hydrolyzes mono-ADP-ribose (MAR) covalently attached to proteins. Despite several reports demonstrating that Mac1 is a prominent virulence factor, there is still a limited understanding of its cellular roles during infection. Currently, most of the information regarding the role of CoV Mac1 during infection is based on a single point mutation of a highly conserved asparagine residue, which makes contact with the distal ribose of ADP-ribose. To determine if additional Mac1 activities contribute to CoV replication, we compared the replication of murine hepatitis virus (MHV) Mac1 mutants, D1329A and N1465A, to the previously mentioned asparagine mutant, N1347A. These residues contact the adenine and proximal ribose in ADP-ribose, respectively. N1465A had no effect on MHV replication or pathogenesis, while D1329A and N1347A both replicated poorly in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), were inhibited by PARP enzymes, and were highly attenuated in vivo. Interestingly, D1329A was also significantly more attenuated than N1347A in all cell lines tested. Conversely, D1329A retained some ability to block beta interferon (IFN-ß) transcript accumulation compared to N1347A, indicating that these mutations have different effects on Mac1 functions. Combining these two mutations resulted in a virus that was unrecoverable, suggesting that the combined activities of Mac1 are essential for MHV replication. We conclude that Mac1 has multiple functions that promote the replication of MHV, and that these results provide further evidence that Mac1 is a prominent target for anti-CoV therapeutics. IMPORTANCE In the wake of the COVID-19 epidemic, there has been a surge to better understand how CoVs replicate and to identify potential therapeutic targets that could mitigate disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 and other prominent CoVs. The highly conserved macrodomain, also termed Mac1, is a small domain within nonstructural protein 3. It has received significant attention as a potential drug target, as previous studies demonstrated that it is essential for CoV pathogenesis in multiple animal models of infection. However, the functions of Mac1 during infection remain largely unknown. Here, using targeted mutations in different regions of Mac1, we found that Mac1 has multiple functions that promote the replication of MHV, a model CoV, and, therefore, is more important for MHV replication than previously appreciated. These results will help guide the discovery of these novel functions of Mac1 and the development of inhibitory compounds targeting this domain.

Macrodomains are evolutionarily conserved structural elements. Many macrodomains feature as binding modules of ADP-ribose, thus participating in the recognition and removal of mono- and poly-ADP-ribosylation. Macrodomains are involved in the regulation of a variety of physiological processes and represent valuable therapeutic targets. Moreover, as part of the nonstructural proteins of certain viruses, macrodomains are also pivotal for viral replication and pathogenesis. Thus, targeting viral macrodomains with inhibitors is considered to be a promising antiviral intervention. In this review, we summarize our current understanding of human and viral macrodomains that are related to mono-ADP-ribosylation, with emphasis on the search for inhibitors. The advances summarized here will be helpful for the design of macrodomain-specific agents for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribosylation is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent post-translational modification that is found on proteins as well as on nucleic acids. While ARTD1/PARP1-mediated poly-ADP-ribosylation has extensively been studied in the past 60 years, comparably little is known about the physiological function of mono-ADP-ribosylation and the enzymes involved in its turnover. Promising technological advances have enabled the development of innovative tools to detect NAD+ and NAD+/NADH (H for hydrogen) ratios as well as ADP-ribosylation. These tools have significantly enhanced our current understanding of how intracellular NAD dynamics contribute to the regulation of ADP-ribosylation as well as to how mono-ADP-ribosylation integrates into various cellular processes. Here, we discuss the recent technological advances, as well as associated new biological findings and concepts.

Arrival of the novel SARS-CoV-2 has launched a worldwide effort to identify both pre-approved and novel therapeutics targeting the viral proteome, highlighting the urgent need for efficient drug discovery strategies. Even with effective vaccines, infection is possible, and at-risk populations would benefit from effective drug compounds that reduce the lethality and lasting damage of COVID-19 infection. The CoV-2 MacroD-like macrodomain (Mac1) is implicated in viral pathogenicity by disrupting host innate immunity through its mono (ADP-ribosyl) hydrolase activity, making it a prime target for antiviral therapy. We therefore solved the structure of CoV-2 Mac1 from non-structural protein 3 (Nsp3) and applied structural and sequence-based genetic tracing, including newly determined A. pompejana MacroD2 and GDAP2 amino acid sequences, to compare and contrast CoV-2 Mac1 with the functionally related human DNA-damage signaling factor poly (ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG). Previously, identified targetable features of the PARG active site allowed us to develop a pharmacologically useful PARG inhibitor (PARGi). Here, we developed a focused chemical library and determined 6 novel PARGi X-ray crystal structures for comparative analysis. We applied this knowledge to discovery of CoV-2 Mac1 inhibitors by combining computation and structural analysis to identify PARGi fragments with potential to bind the distal-ribose and adenosyl pockets of the CoV-2 Mac1 active site. Scaffold development of these PARGi fragments has yielded two novel compounds, PARG-345 and PARG-329, that crystallize within the Mac1 active site, providing critical structure-activity data and a pathway for inhibitor optimization. The reported structural findings demonstrate ways to harness our PARGi synthesis and characterization pipeline to develop CoV-2 Mac1 inhibitors targeting the ADP-ribose active site. Together, these structural and computational analyses reveal a path for accelerating development of antiviral therapeutics from pre-existing drug optimization pipelines.

Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribosylation is a unique post-translational modification that regulates many biological processes, such as DNA damage repair. During DNA repair, ADP-ribosylation needs to be reversed by ADP-ribosylhydrolases. A group of ADP-ribosylhydrolases have a catalytic domain, namely the macrodomain, which is conserved in evolution from prokaryotes to humans. Not all macrodomains remove ADP-ribosylation. One set of macrodomains loses enzymatic activity and only binds to ADP-ribose (ADPR). Here, we summarize the biological functions of these macrodomains in DNA damage repair and compare the structure of enzymatically active and inactive macrodomains. Moreover, small molecular inhibitors have been developed that target macrodomains to suppress DNA damage repair and tumor growth. Macrodomain proteins are also expressed in pathogens, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, these domains may not be directly involved in DNA damage repair in the hosts or pathogens. Instead, they play key roles in pathogen replication. Thus, by targeting macrodomains it may be possible to treat pathogen-induced diseases, such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
