We characterize the kinetics of PARP1 binding to a variety of nucleosomes harbouring DNA double-strand breaks, which reveal that PARP1 associates faster with (gamma)H2A.X- versus H2A-nucleosomes, resulting in a higher affinity for the former, which is maximal for gammaH2A.X-nucleosome that is also the activator eliciting the greatest poly-ADP-ribosylation catalytic efficiency. The enhanced activities with gammaH2A.X-nucleosome coincide with increased accessibility of the DNA termini resulting from the H2A.X-Ser139 phosphorylation. Indeed, H2A- and (gamma)H2A.X-nucleosomes have distinct stability characteristics, which are rationalized by mutational analysis and (gamma)H2A.X-nucleosome core crystal structures. This suggests that the gammaH2A.X epigenetic marker directly facilitates DNA repair by stabilizing PARP1 association and promoting catalysis. PARP1 exhibits enhanced association and catalytic efficiency with gammaH2A.X-nucleosome.,Sharma D, De Falco L, Padavattan S, Rao C, Geifman-Shochat S, Liu CF, Davey CA Nat Commun. 2019 Dec 17;10(1):5751. doi: 10.1038/s41467-019-13641-0.
