Posttranslational modification plays important roles in a range of cellular functions. Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation influences DNA repair, transcription, centrosome duplication, and chromosome stability. Poly(ADP-ribose) attached to acceptor proteins should be properly hydrolyzed by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG). However the subcellular localization and the role of PARG have not been well characterized. Here, we transiently expressed GFP- or Myc-tagged human PARG in mammalian cells and revealed that the subcellular distribution of human PARG changes dramatically during the cell cycle. GFP-hPARG is found almost exclusively in the nucleus during interphase. During mitosis, most GFP-hPARG protein localizes to the cytoplasm and hardly any GFP-hPARG protein is found associated with the chromosomes. Furthermore, we found that GFP-hPARG localizes to the centrosomes during mitosis. Our findings suggest that shuttling of PARG between nucleus and cytoplasm and proper control of poly(ADP-ribose) metabolism throughout the cell cycle may play an important role in regulating cell cycle progression and centrosome duplication.
