1 Here, we report that arsenite binds to both CCHC DNA-binding zinc fingers of the DNA repair protein PARP-1 (poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1). arsenite poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 Homo sapiens
2 Here, we report that arsenite binds to both CCHC DNA-binding zinc fingers of the DNA repair protein PARP-1 (poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1). arsenite poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 Homo sapiens
3 MALDI-TOF-MS analysis of peptides harboring site-directed substitutions of cysteine with histidine residues within the PARP-1 zinc finger revealed that arsenite bound to peptides containing three or four cysteine residues, but not to peptides with two cysteines, demonstrating arsenite binding selectivity. arsenite poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 Homo sapiens
4 To investigate the impact of arsenite on PARP-1 zinc finger function, we measured the zinc content and DNA-binding capacity of PARP-1 immunoprecipitated from arsenite-exposed cells. arsenite poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 Homo sapiens
5 These findings demonstrate that PARP-1 is a direct molecular target of arsenite and that arsenite interacts selectively with zinc finger motifs containing three or more cysteine residues. arsenite poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 Homo sapiens
6 These findings demonstrate that PARP-1 is a direct molecular target of arsenite and that arsenite interacts selectively with zinc finger motifs containing three or more cysteine residues. arsenite poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 Homo sapiens
