CHD1L Regulated PARP1-Driven Pluripotency and Chromatin Remodeling During the Early-Stage Cell Reprogramming.

ABSTRACT: PARP1 and poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) have been shown to be essential for the initial steps of cellular reprogramming. However, the mechanism underlying PARP1/PARylation-regulated activation of pluripotency loci remains undetermined. Here, we demonstrate that CHD1L, a DNA helicase, possesses chromatin remodeling activity and interacts with PARP1/PARylation in regulating pluripotency during reprogramming. We found that this interaction is mediated through the interplay of the CHD1L macro-domain and the PAR moiety of PARylated-PARP1. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated the co-occupancy of CHD1L and PARP1 at Pou5f1, Nanog, and Esrrb pluripotency loci. Knockdown of CHD1L significantly blocked the binding activity of PARP1 at pluripotency loci and inhibited the efficiency
