Abstract

Background: The DNA repair scaffold XRCC1 binds to poly(ADP-ribose)ylated PARP1 at damaged chromatin. Results: XRCC1 preferentially binds to poly(ADP-ribose) chains longer than 7 ADP-ribose units in length. Conclusion: We identify specific determinants of XRCC1-PARP1 complex assembly, and disassembly by PARG. Significance: Our TR-FRET assay is useful for investigating turnover of posttranslational modifications and for identifying inhibitors by high-throughput screening.
