Pierisin-1 is a potent apoptosis-inducing protein found in the pupal extract of the cabbage white butterfly.Pierisin-1 catalyzes the mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of the 2'-deoxyguanosine residue and produces a bulkyadduct, N2-(ADP-ribos-1-yl)-2'-deoxyguanosine (N2-ADPR-dG) in DNA. Here, we examined theinvolvement of the nucleotide excision repair (NER) system in the removal of N2-ADPR-dG in Escherichiacoli (E. coli) and human cells. The results of mobility shift gel electrophoresis assays using a 50-meroligodeoxynucleotide containing a single N2-ADPR-dG showed that E. coli UvrAB proteins bound tothe N2-ADPR-dG in vitro. Incubation of the adducted oligodeoxynucleotides with UvrABC resulted inthe incision of the oligonucleotides in vitro. The results of filter binding and gel mobility shift assaysusing human XPA protein showed that XPA bound to DNA containing N2-ADPR-dGs in vitro. Finally,we introduced plasmids containing N2-ADPR-dGs into E. coli and human cells. N2-ADPR-adductedplasmids replicated l0 times and 20 times less efficiently in NER-deficient E. coli and human cells thanin their wild-type counterparts, respectively. More mutations were induced in the plasmid propagated inNER-deficient cells than that in wild-type human cells. These results indicate the involvement of theNER system in the repair of N2-ADPR-dG in both E. coli and human cells.
