The presence of PARP1 affects interaction between mitochondrial DNA repair enzymes. (A) Binary interactions between three mitochondrial-specific DNA repair enzymes (EXOG, Polγcat and Polγacc (catalytic and accessory subunit of DNA Polγ) and other DNA repair enzymes were analyzed by PLA in control and PARP1-depleted A549 cells under baseline and oxidative stress conditions. (B) Representative autoradiogram of the total DNA repair activity of control and PARP1-depleted A549 cells of mitochondrial extracts isolated from resting and oxidatively stressed cells. Incorporation of 32P-dATP into THF containing 52-nt long oligo duplex is shown. The graph represents quantification of the total mitochondrial DNA repair expressed as means±SD calculated based on three independent experiments (*P < 0.05).
