DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) are toxic lesions that inhibit DNA related processes. Post-translational modifications (PTMs), including SUMOylation and ubiquitylation, play a central role in DPC resolution, but whether other PTMs are also involved remains elusive. Here, we identify a DPC repair pathway orchestrated by poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARylation). Using Xenopus egg extracts, we show that DPCs on single-stranded DNA gaps can be targeted for degradation via a replication-independent mechanism. During this process, DPCs are initially PARylated by PARP1 and subsequently ubiquitylated and degraded by the proteasome. Notably, PARP1-mediated DPC resolution is required for resolving topoisomerase 1-DNA cleavage complexes (TOP1ccs) induced by camptothecin. Using the Flp-nick system, we further reveal that in the absence of PARP1 activity, the TOP1cc-like lesion persists and induces replisome disassembly when encountered by a DNA replication fork. In summary, our work uncovers a PARP1-mediated DPC repair pathway that may underlie the synergistic toxicity between TOP1 poisons and PARP inhibitors.

Fig. 1: DPCs on ssDNA gaps are ubiquitylated in a PARP1-dependent manner. A Schematic of DPC pull-down assay9. At given time points, the DPC plasmid is pulled down under stringent conditions, the DNA is digested by benzonase treatment, and M.HpaII is analyzed via immunoblotting. Note that although the M.HpaII antibody is generated against full-length M.HpaII, it is unlikely to recognize all degradation products. B pMHssDNA or pMHdsDNA were incubated in high-speed supernatant extract (HSS, which is an extract that does not support DNA replication) and recovered by DPC pull-down at the indicated time points and immunoblotted for crosslinked M.HpaII. Molecular weight marker (kDa) is indicated on the left side of the blot and in all subsequent blots presented in this manuscript. C pMHssDNA was incubated in SPRTN- or SPRTN- and RFWD3-depleted HSS and retrieved at the indicated time points by DPC pull-down as in B. D pMHssDNA repair in SPRTN- and RFWD3-depleted HSS. Reactions were supplemented with untagged- or FLAG-tagged recombinant ubiquitin. For each condition, a sample was retrieved at 1 and 10 min, and was first recovered by DPC pull-down (DPC-PD), subsequently by FLAG pull-down (FLAG-PD), and immunoblotted for crosslinked M.HpaII. E pMHssDNA was incubated in SPRTN- and RFWD3-depleted HSS in the presence of the indicated inhibitors. DPCs were recovered via DPC pull-downs at the indicated time points and immunoblotted for crosslinked M.HpaII. Note that the small upshift of M.HpaII signal observed in the presence of Ub.E1i (lanes 5 and 6) is due to M.HpaII PARylation (see Fig. 2D).

DPCs were recovered via DPC pull-downs at the indicated time points and immunoblotted for crosslinked M.HpaII. C) Mock-depleted and PSA1-DDI2 depleted HSS were blotted with DDI2 antibody. PSA1-DDI2 depleted extracts were supplemented with either buffer (+Buf.), recombinant hDDI2 (+DDI2 WT), or recombinant catalytic dead D252N mutant (+DDI2 CD). D) Add-back rescue experiment in HSS with WT and CD DDI2. Samples were recovered via DPC pull-down and immunoblotted for crosslinked M.HpaII. Red line indicates the shift in high molecular weight species. E) p4xDPCSUMO was incubated in NPE (no DNA replication) for 60 min and transferred to PSA1-, or PSA1- and DDI2- depleted mitotic extracts (Liu et al., 2021), supplemented with either recombinant HisSUMO tagged WT or catalytic inactive D252N mutant hDDI2 as indicated. Samples were recovered by DPC pull-down and immunoblotted against M.HpaII. F) pMHLeads was replicated in mock-, SPRTN-, SPRTN- and PSA1-, or SPRTN-, PSA1- and DDI2-depleted egg extracts in the presence of [a32P]dATP (licensing in one volume of HSS for 30 min followed by addition of two volumes of NPE).

H) pCTRL was replicated in egg extracts (licensing in one volume of HSS for 30 min followed by addition of two volumes of NPE) in the presence of Etoposide (100 μM), ICRF-193 (10 μM) or Topotecan (200 μM) where indicated. In contrast to Etoposide and ICRF-193, Topotecan does not induce any abnormal DNA replication/repair intermediates. I) Same as (H) but using Camptothecin (CPT) (500 μM) instead of Topotecan. J) Human TOP1 (brown) with CPT (purple) and DNA (white) visualized in ChimeraX as a Spacefill model (PDB: 1T8I), here displaying the drug binding pocket with CPT and highlighting residue D533 (green) and L530 (red). K) Xenopus TOP1 structure (blue, residue 256-829) predicted by AlphaFold (P41512) aligned to human TOP1 and displayed as a Spacefill model in the same plane as (J) using ChimeraX. Residues corresponding to human D533 (Xenopus D589, green) and L530 (Xenopus P586, red) are highlighted. The DNA and CPT is shown as in (J). L) Drug binding pocket of aligned human and Xenopus TOP1 shown as a ribbon model using ChimeraX. Colors are as in (J) and (K) and relevant residues are annotated. Shown is the predicted hydrogen bond formed between CPT and D533 (blue dotted line). Looking at the aligned structures, we suspect that CPT cannot trap Xenopus TOP1 because of a L530 to Xenopus P586 substitution, which is causing a shift in the amino acid loop where the hydrogen bond between CPT and TOP1 is formed (at position D533 in human TOP1, marked in green). Importantly, a L530I substitution has previously been reported to cause CPT resistance in plants (Sirikantaramas et al., 2008). Moreover, looking at the surrounding cavity and access to the drug binding pocket, the predicted structural change caused by the leucine to proline substitution might be sufficient to prevent access of CPT to the TOP1 catalytic site (compare (J) with (K)). |

H) Analysis of protein recruitment to pFLP in TDP1-depleted compared to mock-depleted non-replicating egg extracts (1:2 HSS:NPE ratio). Plasmids were recovered at 10 min. The volcano plot shows the difference in abundance of proteins between the two sample conditions (xaxis), plotted against the p-value resulting from two-tailed Student’s t-testing (y-axis). Proteins significantly down- or up-regulated (cutoff line represents permutation-based FDR<5%) are represented in red or blue, respectively. n=4. Full results reported in Table S3. I) pFLP was incubated in non-replicating egg extracts (1:2 HSS:NPE ratio) in the presence of the indicated inhibitors. Samples were recovered via DPC pull-down and blotted against Poly/Mono-ADP ribose antibody (a-PAR). J) pFLP was incubated in mockand SPRTN-depleted egg extracts. Reaction samples were analyzed by native agarose gel electrophoresis. K) pFLP was incubated in mock- and RFWD3-depleted egg extracts. Reaction samples were analyzed as in (J). |

Supplementary Figure 6. A) Samples taken from [a32P]dATP labelled reaction in experiment 5B and run on a native agarose gel. B) Quantification of supercoiled (SC) and well products (WP) from Figure 5A. Error bars represent the SD. n=3. C) Model of pFLP replication in the presence of PARPi. |

Supplementary Figure 7. A) Table extracted from (Olivieri et al., 2020). The table shows the top 50 genes whose targeting sensitize cells to the TOP1 poison camptothecin. Hits were ranked based on CPT-2 sensitivity. B-D) Heat map representations of PARP1 (B), TRIP12 (C), and HUWE1 (D) DrugZ (Colic et al., 2019) estimated sensitizing/resistance degree across 27 genotoxic agents tested under CRISPR/Cas9 screen experiments (Olivieri et al., 2020). Blue represents resistance (positive normZ scores) and orange represent sensitization (negative normZ scores).
