Many proteins that respond to DNA damage are recruited to DNA lesions. We used a proteomics approach that coupled isotopic labeling with chromatin fractionation and mass spectrometry to uncover proteins that associate with damaged DNA, many of which are involved in DNA repair or nucleolar function. We show that polycomb group members are recruited by poly(ADP ribose) polymerase (PARP) to DNA lesions following UV laser microirradiation. Loss of polycomb components results in IR sensitivity of mammalian cells and Caenorhabditis elegans. PARP also recruits two components of the repressive nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex, chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 4 (CHD4) and metastasis associated 1(MTA1), to DNA lesions. PARP plays a role in removing nascent RNA and elongating RNA polymerase II from sites of DNA damage. We propose that PARP sets up a transient repressive chromatin structure at sites of DNA damage to block transcription and facilitate DNA repair.
