title: Inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activity by Bcl-2 in association with the ribosomal protein S3a.
abstract: We screened a human lymphocyte cDNA library using the yeast two-hybrid system and an automodification domain of PARP as a probe. The DNA sequence of an isolated clone (clone 3-9) was identical to the partial cDNA sequence of the human ribosomal protein S3a. We confirmed that PARP interacts with clone 3-9 by performing binding studies using a GST-3-9 fusion protein as bait. We also demonstrated that native S3a in nuclear extracts of HL-60 cells interacts with the automodification domain of PARP and that PARP from nuclear extracts is coprecipitated with the GST-3-9 fusion protein. Furthermore, we demonstrated that Bcl-2 interacts with PARP in association with S3a and that the interaction of S3a and Bcl-2 with PARP causes a significant decrease in PARP activity. Since Bcl-2 failed to inhibit PARP activity in the absence of S3a, we suggest that Bcl-2 together with S3a prevents apoptosis probably by inhibiting PARP activity.
