Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a multifunctional protein that is associated with various biological processes like chromatin remodeling, DNA damage, cell death etc. In Dictyostelium discoideum, PARP-1 has also been implicated in cellular differentiation and development. However, its interacting proteins during multicellular development are not yet explored. Hence, the present study aims to identify PARP-1 interacting proteins during multicellular development of D. discoideum. BRCA1 C-terminus (BRCT) domain of PARP-1, which is mainly involved in protein-protein interactions was cloned in pGEX4T1 vector and developmental interactome of PARP-1 were analyzed by affinity purification-mass spectrometry. These interactions were further confirmed by in-silico protein-protein docking analysis, which led to identification of the proteins that show high affinity for BRCT domain. Initially, the protein structures were modeled on SWISS MODEL and PHYRE2 servers, refined by 3Drefine and validated by PROCHECK. Further, interaction sites of BRCT and the conserved regions in all interacting proteins were predicted using cons-PPISP and ConSurf, respectively. Finally, protein-protein docking analysis was done by HADDOCK. Our results identified 19 possible BRCT interacting proteins during D. discoideum development. Furthermore, interacting residues involved in the interactions and functional regions were explored. This is the first report where PARP-1's developmental interactome in D. discoideum is well established. The current findings demonstrate PARP-1's developmental interactome in D. discoideum and provide the groundwork to understand its regulated functions in developmental biology which would undoubtedly extend our perception towards developmental diseases in higher complex organisms and their treatment.
