Structural dynamics of DNA strand break sensing by PARP-1 at a single-molecule level
2022-02-26
Abstract excerpt
Single stranded breaks (SSBs) are the most frequent DNA lesions threatening genomic integrity. A highly kinked DNA structure in complex with human PARP-1 led to the proposal that SSB sensing in Eukaryotes relies on dynamics of both the broken DNA double helix and PARP-1's multi-domain organization. Here, we directly probe this fundamental yet poorly understood process at the single-molecule level. Quantitative SM-...
