Human PARP1 Facilitates Transcription through a Nucleosome and Histone Displacement by Pol II In Vitro
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Human poly(ADP)-ribose polymerase-1 (PARP1) is a global regulator of various cellular processes, from DNA repair to gene expression. The underlying mechanism of PARP1 action during transcription remains unclear. Herein, we have studied the role of human PARP1 during transcription through nucleosomes by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) in vitro. PARP1 strongly facilitates transcription through mononucleosomes by Pol II and displacement of core histones in the presence of NAD+ during transcription, and its NAD+-dependent catalytic activity is essential for this process. Kinetic analysis suggests that PARP1 facilitates formation of "open" complexes containing nucleosomal DNA partially uncoiled from the octamer and allowing Pol II progression along nucleosomal DNA. Anti-cancer drug and PARP1 catalytic inhibitor olaparib strongly represses PARP1-dependent transcription. The data suggest that the negative charge on protein(s) poly(ADP)-ribosylated by PARP1 interact with positively charged DNA-binding surfaces of histones transiently exposed during transcription, facilitating transcription through chromatin and transcription-dependent histone displacement/exchange.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
