title: Poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase is a component of the FMRP-associated messenger ribonucleoparticles.
abstract: PARG [poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase] is the only known enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of poly(ADP-ribose), a branched polymer that is synthesized by the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase family of enzymes. Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a transient post-translational modification that alters the functions of the acceptor proteins. It has mostly been studied in the context of DNA-damage signalling or DNA transaction events, such as replication and transcription reactions. Growing evidence now suggests that poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation could have a much broader impact on cellular functions. To elucidate the roles that could be played by PARG, we performed a proteomic identification of PARG-interacting proteins by mass spectrometric analysis of PARG pulled-down proteins. In the present paper, we report that PARG is resident in FMRP (Fragile-X mental retardation protein)-associated messenger ribonucleoparticles complexes. The localization of PARG in these complexes, which are components of the translation machinery, was confirmed by sedimentation and microscopy analysis. A functional link between poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation modulation and FMRP-associated ribonucleoparticle complexes are discussed in a context of translational regulation.
