Abstract

The pattern of nucleosomal histones poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is changed under conditions which affect the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation state of the enzyme. At low NAD concentrations the enzyme can poly(ADP-ribosyl)ate histones H1 and H1, H2A, A2A, and H2B. However at NAD concentrations above 10 microM the enzyme preferentially poly(ADP-ribosyl)ates histone H1 to a hyper ADP-ribosylated form. Furthermore we have observed hyper ADP-ribosylation of histone H2B at NAD concentrations of 10 microM suggesting that histone H2B can undergo the same type of ADP-ribosylation pattern as histone H1. Also at higher NAD concentrations an elongation of the polymer attached to the enzyme and other nuclear proteins takes place.
