PARP10 promotes the repair of nascent strand DNA gaps through RAD18 mediated translesion synthesis.

ABSTRACT: Replication stress compromises genomic integrity. Fork blocking lesions such as those induced by cisplatin and other chemotherapeutic agents arrest replication forks. Repriming downstream of these lesions represents an important mechanism of replication restart, however the single stranded DNA (ssDNA) gaps left behind, unless efficiently filled, can serve as entry point for nucleases. Nascent strand gaps can be repaired by BRCA-mediated homology repair. Alternatively, gaps can also be filled by translesion synthesis (TLS) polymerases. How these events are regulated is still not clear. Here, we show that PARP10, a poorly-characterized mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase, is recruited to nascent strand gaps to promote their repair. PARP10 interacts with the ubiquitin ligase RAD18 and recruits it to
