Résumé
To cope with the devastating insults constantly inflicted to their genome by intrinsic and extrinsic DNA damaging sources, cells have evolved a sophisticated network of interconnected DNA caretaking mechanisms that will detect, signal and repair the lesions. Among the underlying molecular mechanisms that regulate these events, PARylation catalyzed by Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs), appears as one of the earliest post-translational modification at the site of the lesion that is known to elicit recruitment and regulation of many DNA damage response proteins. In this review we discuss how the complex PAR molecule operates in stress-induced DNA damage signaling and genome maintenance but also in various physiological settings initiated by developmentally programmed DNA breakage. To illustrate the latter, particular emphasis will be placed on the emerging contribution of PARPs to B cell receptor assembly and diversification.
