Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerase (PARP-1) in Homologous Recombination and as a Target for Cancer Therapy

Open access

Abstract

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1) binds to DNA breaks to facilitate DNA repair. However, the role of PARP-1 in DNA repair appears to not be critical since PARP-1 knockout mice are viable, fertile and do not develop early onset tumors. Cells isolated from these mice show an increased level of homologous recombination. There is an intricate link between homologous recombination and PARP-1 and a possible role for PARP-1 in DNA double-strand break repair. Although PARP-1 appears not to be required for homologous recombination itself, it regulates the process through its involvement in the repair of DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs). SSBs persisting into the S phase of the cell cycle collapse replication forks, triggering homologous recombination for replication restart. We discuss the recent discoveries on the use of PARP-1 inhibitors as a targeted cancer therapy for recombination deficient cancers, such as BRCA2 tumors.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
