When activated by DNA strand breaks, PARP1 uses NAD as a substrate to form ADP-ribose polymers on itself and on specific acceptor proteins such as histones, DNA polymerases, DNA ligases, p53, and Fos. These polymers are in turn rapidly degraded by PARG, a ubiquitously expressed exo- and endoglycohydrolase. Excessive activation of PARP1 leads to NAD depletion and cell death during ischemia and other conditions that generate extensive DNA damage. PARG may maintain the active state of PARP1 by continuously removing inhibitory ADP-ribose residues from PARP1.1 The regulation of PARG activity may therefore, influence PARP-mediated cell death. First, PARG inhibition could slow the turnover of PAR and thereby limit NAD depletion. Second, PARG inhibition could prevent the removal of PAR from PARP1. Because PARP1 is inhibited by extensive poly-(ADP-ribosyl)ation, PARG inhibitors could thereby indirectly inhibit PARP1 activity.2 Prior work has shown that the PARG inhibitor gallotannin can markedly reduce death of astrocytes after oxidative stress. Trevigen’s HT Chemiluminescent PARG Assay Kit measures the loss of biotinylated PAR from histones attached to strip wells in a 96 well format and is ideal for the screening of PARG inhibitors and for measuring the activity of PARG in cell extracts.
