Molecular interactions between purified poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, whole thymus histones, histone H1, rat fibroblast genomic DNA, and closed circular and linearized SV40 DNA were determined by the nitrocellulose filter binding technique. Binding of the polymerase protein or histones to DNA was augmented greatly when both the enzyme protein and histones were present simultaneously. The polymerase protein also associated with histones in the absence of DNA. The cooperative or promoted binding of histones and the enzyme to relaxed covalently closed circular SV40 DNA was greater than the binding to the linearized form. Binding of the polymerase to SV40 DNA fragments in the presence of increasing concentrations of NaCl indicated a preferential binding to two restriction fragments as compared to the others. Polymerase binding to covalently closed relaxed SV40 DNA resulted in the induction of superhelicity. The simultaneous influence of the polymerase and histones on DNA topology were more than additive. Topological constraints on DNA induced by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase were abolished by auto ADP-ribosylation of the enzyme. Benzamide, by inhibiting poly(ADP-ribosylation), reestablished the effect of the polymerase protein on DNA topology. Polymerase binding to in vitro-assembled core particle-like nucleosomes was also demonstrated.
