The success of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) inhibitors (PARPi) to treat cancer relates to their ability to trap PARP-1 at the site of a DNA break. Although different forms of PARPi all target the catalytic center of the enzyme, they have variable abilities to trap PARP-1. We found that several structurally distinct PARPi drive PARP-1 allostery to promote release from a DNA break. Other inhibitors drive allostery to retain PARP-1 on a DNA break. Further, we generated a new PARPi compound, converting an allosteric pro-release compound to a pro-retention compound and increasing its ability to kill cancer cells. These developments are pertinent to clinical applications where PARP-1 trapping is either desirable or undesirable.
聚(ADP-核糖)聚合酶 1(PARP-1)抑制剂(PARPi)在癌症治疗中的成功与其在 DNA 断裂部位捕获 PARP-1 的能力有关。尽管不同形式的 PARPi 均靶向酶的催化中心,但它们捕获 PARP-1 的能力存在差异。我们发现几种结构不同的 PARPi 驱动 PARP-1 的变构作用,以促进从 DNA 断裂处释放。其他抑制剂驱动变构作用以保留 PARP-1 在 DNA 断裂处。此外,我们生成了一种新的 PARPi 化合物,将变构促进释放的化合物转化为变构促进保留的化合物,并提高其杀死癌细胞的能力。这些进展与 PARP-1 捕获是可取还是不可取的临床应用相关。
