A hypothetical model for the functional interference of PARP1 with MyoD-dependent transcription. In undifferentiated cells the absence of MyoD activity at the regulatory regions of its targets prevents the induction of muscle genes, concomitantly with the presence of high levels of PARP1. Upon differentiation, the reduction of PARP1 levels and its decreased association with the regulatory regions increases the binding of MyoD and the induction of gene expression, accompanied by the accumulation of H3K4me3. When PARP1 is depleted, the binding of MyoD and the accumulation of H3K4me3 to the regulatory regions are further facilitated, resulting in increased up-regulation of MyoD targets.
