Abstract
ADP-ribosylation (ADPRylation) is a post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins
mediated by the activity of a variety of ADP-ribosyltransferase (ART) enzymes, such as the Poly
(ADP-ribose) Polymerase (PARP) family of proteins. This PTM is diverse in both form and
biological functions, which makes it a highly interesting modification, but difficult to study due to
Limitations
in reagents available to detect the diversity of ADP -ribosylation. Recently we
developed a set of recombinant antibody-like ADP -ribose binding proteins , using natur ally
occurring ADPR binding domains (ARBDs) that include macrodomains and WWE domains, that
have been functionalized by fusion to the constant “Fc” region of rabbit immunoglobulin. Herein,
we present an expansion of this biological toolkit, where we have replaced the rabbit Fc sequence
with two other species, the Fc for mouse and goat immunogloblulin. Characterization of the new
reagents indicates that they can be detected in a species -dependent manner, recognize specific
ADP-ribose moieties, and excitingly, can be used in various antibody-based assays by co-staining.
The expansio n of this tool will allow for more multiplexed assessments of the complexity of
ADPRylation biology in many biological systems.

Introduction
In recent years, there has been a substantial increase in our understanding of th e
biochemistry, molecular biology, normal physiology and pathology of ADP-ribosylation
(ADPRylation) of proteins [1-3]. It is clear that this complex post -translational modification
(PTM) plays important roles in many biological processes , including DNA repair, transcription,
immune regulation and condensate formation (among many others). This PTM is mediated by a
variety of ADP-ribosyltransferase (ART) enzymes, including the Poly (ADP-ribose) Polymerase
(PARP) family of proteins (with exception of non-catalytic members). These enzymes mediate the
transfer of ADP-ribose from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) to a surprisingly diverse
set of substrate proteins, on a wide range of amino acids. The susbtrates can be modified by ADP-
ribose chains of varying lengths and chemical structures , i.e. by either a single ADP -ribose unit
(monoADPRylation or MAR) or polymers of ADP -ribose units (polyADPRylation or PAR) ,
which serve to alter biochemical activities of the substrate protein or drive protein -protein
interactions through new interaction surfaces [1-5].
ADPRylation “reader” proteins also exist in nature , with modules that can specifically
recognize and bind to various forms of ADP-ribose moieties. Some of the most well-characterized
ADP-ribose binding domains (ARBDs) include WWE domains, which recognize PAR (and oligo
chains) and macrodomains, which recognize MAR or terminal ADP-ribose moieties found in PAR
(and oligo chains) [1, 3, 4, 6] . Recently we developed a set of recombinant antibody -like ADP-
ribose binding proteins, using naturally occurring macrodomains and WWE domains, that were
functionalized by fusion to the constant “Fc” region of rabbit immunoglobulin. Our ARBD-Fc
fusion proteins represent one example of tools developed for the detection of ADP-ribose moieties.
Other examples include the development of monoclonal [7] and polyclonal [8-15] antibodies to
detect MAR and PAR, SpyTag-based modular antibodies to detect MAR [16, 17], and the use of
the hydrolases ARH3 and TARG1 as tools to investigate ADPRylation specifically on serine and
glutamate residues, respectively [18, 19]. These reagents have all proven useful research tools in
the field for the molecular recognition of various forms of ADP -ribose [4], but significant
Limitations
still exist . Given the complex nature of this modification, there is a need for the
continued development of tools and refinement of existing ones, which will undoubtedly enhance
our understanding of the intricate biological functions of ADPRylation.

a more useful array of ADP -ribose detection reagents. Characterization of the new reagents

Results
Expression and purification of new recombinant mouse and goat ARBD-Fc fusion proteins
We previously described the generation of Fc fusion proteins using the macrodomain from
H. sapiens PARP14 (Macro2 and Macro 3; M2/3), A. fulgidus AF1521, and WWE domain from
H. sapiens RNF146, fused the Fc region of rabbit IgG [4]. We constructed six new vectors by
replacing the rabbit-Fc with cDNA from mouse and goat Fc (Figure 1A, Figure S1 and S2 ). We
expressed the ARBD -Fc fusion protein s in E. coli and purified them using Ni -NTA affinity
chromatography as previously described (Table S1 -S2). Purified proteins were analyzed by
denaturing SDS-PAGE and stained with Coom assie (Figure 1B; left panel). All fusion proteins
migrated at the expected mol ecular weights (Figure 1B; right panel). We observed that the new
mouse and goat preparations of WWE had high purity, whereas some contaminating bands were
present in the M2/3 (PARP14) and AF1521 preps, with a major contaminatin g band at ~30 kDa,
which did not seem to affect detection (see below).
ARBD-Fc fusion proteins can be detected in a species-specific manner
To test the ability of the new ARBD-Fc fusion proteins to be detected in a species-specific
manner, we carried out dot blots using equal amounts of all nine purified fusion proteins and IgG
from rabbit, mouse, and goat as control s (Figure 2A; left panel), or SDS-PAGE analysis (Figure
2B). Using species-specific HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies for detection of proteins , we
show that each species of ARBD -Fc fusion proteins is detected exclusively by a single
corresponding secondary antibody, indicating highly specific detection (Figure 2A-B).
ARBD-Fc fusion proteins can recognize specific forms of ADPR
To test the binding of the new ARBD -Fc fusion proteins and ability to recognize exact
forms of ADPR, we performed in vitro ADPRylation reactions to generate mono ADP -ribose
(MAR) or poly ADP-ribose (PAR) chains. As previously described, purified recombinant PARP3
or PARP1 were used in biochemical reaction s with NAD+ (ADPR donor) and sonicated salmon
sperm DNA (activator) to generate automodified PARP3 (MAR) and PARP 1 (PAR). Reactions
lacking NAD+ were used as a control. As expected, in each species version, M2/3 (PARP14) was
able to detect only MAR, WWE was able to detect PAR , while AF1521 was able to detect both

forms of ADPR (Figure 3A). These results confirm that each domain is able to detect a specific
form of ADPR and exchanging the Fc region did not affect this detection.
To explore the utility of the new reagents in biological systems, w e performed
immunoblotting in three different cell-based models. First, we analyzed mono ADP-ribosylation
in 3T3-L1 cells grown in culture and differentiated as previously described [20]. Using the M2/3
(PARP14) detection reagent, we observe an increase in MARylation upon differentiation with all
three species versions (Day 0 vs Day 3; Figure 3B; Table S3). Second, we analyzed poly ADP-
ribosylation in OVCAR 3 ovarian cancer cell line treated in culture with and without the PARP
inhibitor (PARPi), niraparib. Using the AF1521 detection reagent, we observe a clear reduction in
PARylation signal upon treatment with PARPi (Figure 3C). Third, we analyzed poly ADP -
ribosylation in AC16 cardiomyoctes treated in culture with and without H2O2 and the PARPi,
olaparib. Using the WWE detection reagent, we observe a clear increase in PARylation signal
upon treatment with H2O2, which can be abrogated by pretreatment with PARPi (Figure 3D).
These results indicate that the detection reagents can recognize the expected specific forms of
ADPR.
Expansion of species-specific ARBD-Fc fusion proteins allows for multiplexing capabilities
Given the reagent limitations in the field of PARP biology, we set out to create tools that
would allow for more multiplexed assessments that can help tease out complexities of ADPR
biology in biological systems. Thus, we tested various co -stains and assayed by
immunofluorescent immunocytochemistry and dual-color fluorescent Western blotting (Table S4).
First, using OVCAR3 cell line treated with and without PARPi (veliparib or nirparib, as
indicated), we co -stained to examine levels of PARylation and MARylation in cells by
immunofluorescent immunocytochemistry . We observe a clear reduction in PARylation upon
PARPi treatment, while MARylation remained largely unchanged ( Figure 4A-B). We also used
3T3-L1 cells in a differentiation protocol. We observe PARylation decrease, while MARylation
increases, in reponse to differentiation signals (Figure 4C).
Second, using the same 3T3 -L1 differentiation protocol , we made whole cell extracts to
examine various co-stains by dual-color fluorescent Western blotting. For example, we are able to
successfully co -stain using the M2/3 (PARP14) -rabbit reagent with RPS6-mouse (Figure 5A;
Table S4). Additionally, we demonstrate a clear overlap in signal using the goat and rabbit versions

of WWE and AF152, respectively (Figure 5B). The signals are robust and comparable to what we
usually observe using WWE-rabbit in an HRP-based detection system (Figure 5B; far right panel).
All together, these results indicate that having the species variety in ARBD -Fc reagents is a
valuable tool for studying ADPR biology.

Discussion
Herein, we have generated and characterized an expanded set of antibody-like ADP-ribose
binding proteins in which these natural and specific ARBDs have been functionalized with the Fc
region of mouse and goat immunoglobulin . In combination with the rabbit versions previously
described [4], we have created a more useful array of ADP -ribose detection reagents.
Characterization of the new reagents indicates that they can be detected in a species -dependent
manner and recognize specific ADP -ribose moieties . Importantly, these new immunological
reagents can be used in various antibody -based assays by co-staining. The expansion of this tool
will allow for more multiplexed assessments of the complexity of ADPRylation biology in many
biological systems.
In order to study the complex and diverse forms and functions of ADPR , immunological
tools used for its detection and enrichment are necessary, but still quite limited. Considerable
efforts have been made to develop antibodies to detect ADP-ribose (MAR and PAR) [7-15]. The
original rabbit versions of the antibody-like ADP-ribose binding reagents we previsouly generated
have proven useful research too ls in the field for the molecular recognition of various forms of
ADP-ribose [4]. They are the first examples of functionalized ARBD -Fc fusion proteins that
include all key features of a monoclonal antibody: 1) monospecificity, 2) binding to protein A and
G, 3) binding to Ig -directed secondary antibodies, and 4) renewable production [4]. Most
importantly, for the first time, these reagents allowed for the distinct recognition of mono- or oligo-
ADPRylation, which had been largely overlooked by the widely -used anti -PAR monoclonal
antibody 10H [7]. More recently, with improved methods for the chemical synthesis o f
ADPRylated susbtrates, coupled with phage display and SpyTag technology, the Matic laboratory
has developed a new generation of site-specific, as well as broad -specificity antibodies to MAR
[16, 17].
The expansion of the ARBD-Fc toolkit by including fusions with mouse or goat Fc greatly
enhance their utility in a wide range of immunological assays. Particularly, the new reagents allow
for multiplexed assessment of MAR, OAR, and PAR, which is diverse, rich and complex ,
contributing to interesting biologies for ADPR in a variety of biological systems. The dual
detection of MAR and PAR with these new reagents will also shed light on the interesting signaling
interplay between these PTMs occurring simultaneously, in different subcellular compartments, in
distinct biological processes, providing a level of precision that has yet to be attained in the field.

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES
Construction of plasmid vectors for bacterial expression of ADPR binding domain−Fc fusion
proteins
The cDNA sequences encoding the Mouse and Goat IgG are listed in Supporting
Information materials (Figure S1 and S2). The cDNA fragments were synthesized as gene blocks
by Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT), and designed with appropriate restriction sites for
cloning. The gene blocks were amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) . For the new
constructs, the Rabbit-Fc region in the pET19b vector (Novagen) containing Macro2/3 (PARP14),
Macro (AF1521), or WWE(RNF 146) [4] was excised using (1) the AgeI and EcoRI sites and
replaced with PCR-amplified DNA encoding Mouse-Fc which was digested using AgeI and EcoRI
or (2) the SalI and BamHI sites and replaced with PCR -amplified DNA encoding Goat-Fc which
was digested using XhoI and BamHI. Sequences were verified using whole plasmid sequencing
(Plasmidsaurus).
Expression and purification of the antibody-like ADPR binding reagents in bacteria
Expression. The ADPR binding reagents were expressed in bacteria using the pET19b -
based vectors described above. Because of expression issues, a slightly modified protocol was
used described in Table S1. E. coli strain BL21(DE3) Rosetta2 pLysS was made competent using
a CaCl2 protocol and transformed with the pET19b -based plasmids encoding one of the ADPR
binding reagents described above. For 37°C induction, the transformed bacteria were grown in LB
containing ampicillin and chloramphenicol at 37°C until the OD 595 reached 0.4−0.6.
Recombinant protein expression was induced by the addition of isopropyl β -D-1-thiogala-
ctopyranoside (IPTG) for 4 h at 37°C. For 16 °C induction, the transformed bacteria were grown
in LB containing ampicillin and chloramphenicol at 37°C until the OD595 reached 0.2. The culture
was then cooled to 16°C and grown to an OD 595 of <0.8. Recombinant protein expression was
then induced by IPTG for 18 h at 16°C. In all cases, the cells were collected by centrifugation, and
the cell pellets were flash-frozen in liquid N2 and stored at −80°C.
Purification. The frozen pellets were thawed on wet ice and lysed by sonication in Ni -
NTA lysis buffer [10 mM Tris - HCl (pH 7.5), 0.5 M NaCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 0.1% NP -40, 10%

mercaptoethanol]. The lysates were clarified by centrifugation at 20,000g using an SF14-50 rotor
(Lynx6000, Sorvall) at 4°C for 30 min. The supernatant was incubated with 1 mL of Ni-NTA resin
equilibrated in Ni-NTA equilibration buffer [10 mM Tris -HCl (pH 7.5), 0.5 M NaCl, 0.1% NP -
40, 10% glycerol, 10 mM imidazole] at 4°C for 2-3 h with gentle agitation. The resin was collected
by centrifugation at 4°C for 10 min at 800g, and the lysate (supernatant) was removed. The resin
was washed four times with Ni -NTA wash buffer [10 mM Tris -HCl (pH 7.5), 1 M NaCl, 0.2%
NP-40, 10% glycerol, 10 mM imidazole, and 1 mM PMSF]. The recombinant proteins were then
eluted using Ni-NTA elution buffer [10 mM Tris -HCl (pH 7.5), 0.2 M NaCl, 0.1% NP -40, 10%
glycerol, 500 mM imidazol e, 1 mM PMSF, and 1 mM β -mercaptoethanol]. The eluates were
collected by centrifugation (4°C for 5 min at 800 g) and dialyzed in Ni -NTA dialysis buffer [10
mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 0.2 M NaCl, 10% glycerol, 10 mM imidazole, 0.1% NP-40, 1 mM PMSF,
and 1 mM β-mercaptoethanol] (Table S2). The dialyzed proteins were collected and centrifuge at
max speed (15,000 RPM) for 15 minutes in 4 °C. Collected the clear supernatant and quantified
using a Bradford protein assay (Bio-Rad), aliquoted, flash-frozen in liquid N2, and stored at −80
°C. To assess the purity and quality of each purified ADPR binding reagent, 1 -2 μg of purified
protein was subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate−polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
(SDS−PAGE) and stained with Coomassie brilliant blue.
In vitro auto(ADP-ribosyl)ation reactions with PARP1 and PARP3 to generate mono-, and
poly(ADP-ribose) standards
Five hundred nanograms of purified recombinant mPARP1 or mPARP3 was incubated at
25°C in a 100 μL reaction volume [20 mM HEPES (pH 8.0), 5 mM MgCl2, 5 mM CaCl2, 0.01%
NP-40, 25 mM KCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.1 mg/mL sheared salmon sperm DNA (Invitrogen, AM9680),
and 0.1 mg/mL BSA (Sigma)] under the following conditions: (1) PARP1 with 250 μM NAD+ for
5 min for poly(ADP -ribose), and (2) PARP3 with 250 μM NAD + for 30 min for mono(ADP -
ribose). All reactions were stopped by the addition of one -third of a reaction volume o f 4×
SDS−PAGE loading buffer, followed by heating to 95°C for 5 min.

Dot blotting and immunoblotting
Preparation of nitrocellulose blotting membranes for dot blotting and immunoblotting.
For dot blotting, 500 ng purified proteins were spotted in 5 μL amounts to a nitrocellulose
membrane and dried to bind the ADPR binding reagents to the membrane. For immunoblotting,
the aliquots of purified proteins , PARP1 or PARP3 ADP -ribosylation reaction products, or 9 to
30 μg of nuclear or whole cell extract, were resolved on a 10% SDS-PAGE gel and transferred to
a nitrocellulose membrane.
Dot blotting and immunoblotting. The membranes were blocked for 1 h at room
temperature in Tris -buffered saline with 0.05% Tween (TBST) containing 5% nonfat dry milk.
Primary antibodies and/or detection reagents (e.g., ADPR binding reagents; b-tubulin, Abcam
ab6046) were diluted in TBST with 3% nonfat dry milk and incubated with membranes for 1 h at
room temperature. As describe d in Table S3 , a fter being extensively washed with TBST, the
membranes were incubated with an appropriate HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (IgG Fc Goat
anti-Rabbit, HRP, Invitrogen 31463; IgG Fc Rabbit anti-Mouse, HRP, Invitrogen 31455; IgG Fc
Rabbit anti-Goat, HRP, Invitrogen 31433), and diluted in TBST with 3% nonfat dry milk for 1 h
at room temperature. The membranes were washed extensively with TBST before
chemiluminescent detection using SuperSignal West Pico substrate or femto substate (Thermo
Scientific) and a ChemiDoc imaging system (Bio-Rad).
Cell culture and treatments
3T3-L1 cells [21] cells were obtained from the American Type Cell Culture (ATCC, CL -
173). They were maintained in DMEM (Cellgro, 10-017-CM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine
serum (Atlanta Biologicals, S11550) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. For the induction of
adipogenesis, the 3T3-L1 cells were grown to confluence and then cultured for 2 more days under
contact inhibition. The cells were then treated for 2 days with an MDI adipogenic cocktail
containing 0.25 mM IBMX, 1 μM dexamethasone, and 10 μg/ml insulin. Subsequentl y, the cells
were cultured in medium containing 10 μg/ml insulin for the indicated times before collection
[20].
OVCAR3 cells were obtained from ATC C (HTB-161). The cells were cultured in RPMI
1640 (Gibco) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Sigma), 1% penicillin/streptomycin,

and 1% glutamax. The cells were grown to ∼80% confluence, treated for 2 h with or without 20
μM PARP inhibitor, niraparib. Treated cells were gently washed and collected in ice-cold PBS and
then pelleted by centrifugation at 450 g for 5 min.
AC16 human adult ventricular cardiomyocyte cells were obtained from ATCC (CRL-
3568). The cells were cultured in DMEM/F -12, no phenol red (Gibco, 11039021) supplemented
with 12.5% fetal bovine serum (Sigma, F8067), 1% penicillin/streptomycin, and 0.025 mg/ml
Gentamicin (Gibco, 15710064) . The cells can be cultured for at least 10 passages after initial
thawing. AC16 cells were grown to ∼80% confluence, treated for 2 h with or without 10 μM PARP
inhibitor, olaparib, and then treated for an additional 10 min with or without 5 mM H2O2.
For all cell lines, cell stocks were regularly replenished from the original stocks, verified for cell
type identity, and confirmed as mycoplasma -free every three months using a commercial testing
kit.
Preparation of extracts from mammalian cells for immunoblotting
Preparation of whole cell extracts. The cell pellets were resuspended in 1× lysis buffer
[50 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 0.5 M NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1% NP40, 10% glycerol, 1 M DTT, 10 μM PJ34
(abcam, ab120981), 500 nM ADP -HPD (a PARG inhibitor; sigma) and 1× protease inhibitor
cocktail (Roche)] and incubated for 30 min on ice with gentile vortexing and then centrifuge at
maximum speed for 15 minutes at 4 °C in microcentrifuge to remove the cell debris. The
supernatant was collected as whole cell protein extracts. Protein concentrations for the whole cell
extracts were determined using a Bradford protein assay (Bio -Rad). The extracts were aliquoted,
flash-frozen in liquid N2, and stored at −80°C.
Preparation of nuclear extracts. The packed cell volume (PCV) was estimated, and the
cell pellets were resuspended to homogeneity in 5× PCV of Lysis buffer [1x isotonic lysis buffer
(10 mM Tris- HCl (pH 7.5), 2 mM MgCl2, 3 mM CaCl2, 0.3 M sucrose), 1 mM DTT, 1× protease
inhibitor cocktail (Roche), 10 μM PJ34 (Sigma), and 500 nM ADP -HPD (a PARG inhibitor;
sigma)] and incubated on ice for 15 min. NP-40 was added from a 20% solution in lysis buffer to
a final concentration of 0.6%, and the mixture was vortexed vigorously for 10 s. The lysate was
subjected to a short burst of centrifugation for 30 s at 11000 RPM in a microcentrifuge at 4°C to
collect the nuclei. The pelleted nuclei were resuspended in 2/3x PCV of ice-cold nuclear extraction

of buffer B [20 mM HEPES (pH 7.6), 1.5 mM MgCl 2, 0.2 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 1× protease

solution in lysis buffer to a final concentration of 0.5%. Protein concentrations for the nuclear
extracts were determined using a Bradford protein assay (Bio -Rad). The extracts were aliquoted,
flash-frozen in liquid N2, and stored at −80°C.
Aliquots of nuclear or whole cell extracts were mixed with one -third of a volume of 4×
SDS loading buffer [200 mM Tris- HCl (pH 6.8), 8% SDS, 40% glycerol, 4% β-mercaptoethanol,
50 mM EDTA, and 0.08% bromophenol blue], followed by heating to 70°C for 10 mi n. The cell
extracts were subjected to immunoblotting as described above.
Immunofluorescent immunocytochemistry
OVCAR3 cells were grown on chamber slide (Invitrogen), treated for 2 h with or without
20 μM PARP inhibitor ( veliparib, niraparib). 3T3-L1 cells were seeded into 4 -well chambered
slides (Thermo Fisher, 154534) and were grown and differentiated as described previously [20].
The cells were washed twice with PBS on ice and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (EMS) at room
temperature for 15 min. The chamber slides were washed with ice -cold PBS and permeabilized
with permeabilization buffer (1x PBS, 0.5% Triton X -100) for 5 min. The fixed cells on the
chamber slides were washed with PBS and blocked with blocking solution for 1 h at room
temperature. After being blocked, the samples were incubated with 20 μg/mL ADPR binding
reagent in blocking solution overnight at 4°C. The samples were washed with PBST and incubated
with fluorophore-conjugated secondary antibodies (Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Alexa Fluor 594,
A-11012; Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L), Alexa Fluor 488, A-11008; Goat anti-Mouse IgG (H+L),
Alexa Fluor 594, A-11005; Goat anti-Mouse IgG (H+L), Alexa Fluor 488, A-11001) diluted 1:500
in PBST for 1 h at room temperature in the dark. The samples were then washed with PBST, the
coverslips were placed on cells coated with VectaShield Antifade Mounting medium with DAPI
(Vector Laboratories), and image was visualized using Nikon confocal microscope.

Dual-color fluorescent Western blotting
The membranes were blocked for 1 h at room temperature in Tris -buffered saline with
0.05% Tween (TBST) containing 3% nonfat dry milk (Table S4 ). Primary antibodies and/or
detection reagents (e.g., ADPR binding reagents; RPS6, Santa Cruz sc-74459) were diluted in
TBST with 3% nonfat dry milk and incubated with membranes for 1 h at room temperature. After
being extensively washed with TBST, the membranes were incubated with secondary antibodies
(IRDye 800CW Donkey anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody, Li-Cor 926-32213; IRDye 680RD
Donkey anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody , Li-Cor 926-68073; IRDye 680RD Donkey anti -
Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody , Li-Cor 926 -68072; IRDye 800CW Donkey anti -Goat IgG
Secondary Antibody, Li-Cor 926-32214) diluted in TBST with 3% nonfat dry milk for 1 h at room
temperature. The membranes were washed extensively with TBST. The image was developed
using ChemiDoc imaging system (Bio-Rad).
