The human genome contains numerous repetitive nucleotide sequences that display a propensity to fold into non-canonical DNA structures including G-quadruplexes (G4s). G4s have both positive and negative impacts on various aspects of nucleic acid metabolism including DNA replication, DNA repair and RNA transcription. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP1), an important anticancer drug target, has been recently shown to bind a subset of G4s, and to undergo auto-PARylation. The mechanism of this interaction, however, is poorly understood. Utilizing Mass Photometry (MP) and single-molecule total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (smTIRFM), we demonstrate that PARP1 dynamically interacts with G4s with a 1:1 stoichiometry. Interaction of a single PARP1 molecule with nicked DNA or DNA containing G4 and a primer-template junction is sufficient to activate robust auto-PARylation resulting in the addition of poly (ADP-ribose) chains with molecular weight of several hundred kDa. Pharmacological PARP inhibitors EB-47, Olaparib and Veliparib differently affect PARP1 retention on G4-containing DNA compared to nicked DNA.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
