Figure 5. The ectopic expression of recombinant PARG-EGFP protein in Parg27.1 mutant animals rescues PARP1-DsRed localization to chromatin.
The expression of UAS::PARG-EGFP transgene was induced in early second-instar larvae (A, B), or in early third-instar larvae (C), using hsp::Gal4 driver induction. Salivary glands were dissected and analyzed by confocal microscopy after 20 hrs following Gal4 induction (A, C) and after 30 hrs following Gal4 induction (B). PARG-EGFP protein is green; PARP1-DsRed is red, and DNA (Draq5) is blue. An arrow indicates colocalization of PARG-EGFP and PARP1-DsRed in the CB-like particle. D. The expression of recombinant catalytically inactive PARGAA-EGFP protein in Parg27.1 mutant animals does not rescue PARP1-DsRed protein localization to chromatin (after 30 hrs following Gal4 induction). E. Western blot hybridization was used to detect the accumulation of pADPr in Parg27.1 mutant and Parg27.1 mutant expressing PARGAA-EGFP protein, but not in wild-type and Parg27.1 mutant expressing PARG-EGFP protein.
