We have determined the partial amino acid sequence of p33, an endogenous substrate protein for arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase in chicken polymorphonuclear leukocytes (heterophils), and found that the sequence was completely identical with the regions of amino acid sequences deduced from mim-1 (named for myb-induced myeloid protein-1, which is expressed in chicken promyelocytes) cDNA [(1989) Cell, 59, 1115-1125], except for one amino acid difference (Tyr297-->Ile). These results together with data on cellular and subcellular distributions of p33 in heterophils suggest that mim-1 may encode the precursor protein of p33.

We reported the purification and characterization of an arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase and acceptor protein p33 in granules of chicken peripheral polymorphonuclear leukocytes (heterophils) [Mishima, K., Terashima, M., Obara, S., Yamada, K., Imai, K. & Shimoyama, M. (1991) J. Biochem. (Tokyo) 110, 388-394]. In the present study, we obtained evidence that chicken non-muscle beta/gamma-actin, skeletal muscle alpha-actin and smooth-muscle gamma-actin were ADP ribosylated by the heterophil ADP-ribosyltransferase. The stoichiometry of ADP-ribose incorporation into these actins was 1.2 mol, 1.0 mol and 2.0 mol ADP-ribose/mol of beta/gamma-actin, alpha-actin and gamma-actin, respectively. The optimal pH for the ADP ribosylation was at pH 8.5, with the respective actin. Km values for NAD were calculated to be 30 microM with beta/gamma-actin, 35 microM with alpha-actin and 20 microM with gamma-actin. The Km values for the actin isoforms were 15 microM for beta/gamma-actin, 2.5 microM for alpha-actin and 10 microM for gamma-actin. ADP ribosylation of actin inhibited its capacity to polymerize, as determined by the increase in fluorescence intensity with N-(1-pyrenyl)iodoacetamide-labelled actin. Filamentous actin (F-actin) polymerized with the respective actin isoform was also ADP ribosylated, although the extent of the modification of F-actin was lower than that of globular actin (G-actin). In situ ADP ribosylation of beta/gamma-actin was evidenced with chicken peripheral heterophils permeabilized with saponin. Thus, the endogenous ADP ribosylation of actin in the heterophils may be involved in the cellular processes such as phagocytosis, secretion and migration.

We have reported the purification and characterization of arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase from hen liver nuclei [Tanigawa, Y. et al. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 2022-2029] and the DNA-dependent mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of p33, an acceptor protein in the nuclei [Mishima, K. et al. (1989) Eur. J. Biochem. 179, 267-273]. In the present study, we obtained evidence that among various tissues and cells from chicken, polymorphonuclear cells, so-called heterophils, possess both the ADP-ribosyltransferase and p33 at high levels. Percoll density gradient centrifugation of the postnuclear fraction of the heterophils revealed the co-localization of ADP-ribosyltransferase with p33 in the granule fraction. The enzyme and p33 were purified approximately 219- and 3.77-fold, respectively, from postnuclear pellet fraction to apparent homogeneity. The properties of heterophil ADP-ribosyltransferase and p33 were compared with those of the liver enzyme and p33. The molecular mass of the heterophil enzyme was estimated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to be 27.5 kDa. The enzyme activity was stimulated by a sulfhydryl agent and inhibited by lysolecithin, NaCl, and inorganic phosphate. The mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of p33 was markedly enhanced by polyanion, such as DNA, RNA, or poly(L-glutamate). SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis after limited trypsin proteolysis of p33s, purified from chicken heterophils and liver, showed much the same pattern. Thus, it appears that ADP-ribosyltransferase and p33 present in heterophils are identical to those in the liver, respectively. p33 is considered to be an in situ substrate for ADP-ribosyltransferase, since it was specifically mono(ADP-ribosyl)ated in permeabilized heterophils.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We investigated immunohistochemically the localization of p33, an endogenous substrate protein for an arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase in chicken liver. Polymorphonuclear-pseudo-eosinophilic granulocytes (heterophils) in interlobular connective tissues of the liver were exclusively and strongly stained with the antibody against p33. Strong reactivity was associated with granules in cytoplasm of the heterophils. When the chicken liver nuclear fraction was washed, the transferase activity was released into the 600 x g supernatant fraction while a nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase was retained in the pellet fraction. These results indicate that p33 and probably also ADP-ribosyltransferase, found in the liver nuclear fraction [Tanigawa et al. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 2022-2029, Mishima et al. (1988) Eur. J. Biochem. 179, 267-273], originate from interlobular heterophils of the chicken liver.

A non-histone acceptor protein for hen liver nuclear ADP-ribosyltransferase was purified to an apparently homogeneous state through salt extraction and chromatography on hydroxyapatite, phenyl-Sepharose, carboxy-methyl-cellulose, Sephadex G-75, phenyl 5-PW, mono S and Radial PAK C18. This protein was termed p33. The ADP-ribosylation of p33 was enhanced more than 60-fold by double-stranded DNA. Single-stranded DNA, RNA and poly(L-glutamate), but not deoxyribonucleotide, were partially effective. DNA-dependent ADP-ribosylation was also observed when whole histones were used as acceptor. DNA required for the maximal ADP-ribosylation depended on the dose of the acceptor protein; the optimal mass ratio of DNA to the acceptor protein was 1:1 with both p33 and whole histones. DNA decreased the Km for NAD and concomitantly increased the Vmax value, but did not alter the Km for p33. These results are consistent with the idea that p33 may participate in chromatin processes such as replication or transcription, through modification by nuclear ADP-ribosyltransferase.

Auto-ADP-ribosylation of arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase purified from chicken peripheral heterophils was investigated. When the purified ADP-ribosyltransferase was analyzed with sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by Coomassie brilliant blue staining, two protein bands corresponding to the molecular masses of 27.5 and 28.0 kDa were detected. Both proteins were auto-ADP-ribosylated when they were examined by zymographic in situ gel assay without exogenous acceptor for ADP-ribose transfer. The automodification was inhibited by the acceptor, arginine or agmatine, and an inhibitor of arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase, novobiocin. The ADP-ribose-transferase linkage was labile in 0.5 M hydroxylamine (pH 7.5). The automodified transferase was not chased by a large excess of nonradioactive NAD and did not catalyze transfer of its ADP-ribose to p33, an endogenous substrate protein for the transferase in heterophils, therefore, that automodified transferase cannot serve as an intermediate in ADP-ribosylation of other proteins. Auto-ADP-ribosylated transferase showed higher activity than did the unmodified transferase in catalyzing ADP-ribosylation of the basic acceptor such as poly(L-arginine) and p33 while to ADP-ribosylate the acidic proteins such as casein, the modified transferase was less active. Automodification of the transferase decreased polyanion-induced ADP-ribosylation of p33. Automodification of arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase apparently alters the specificity of its own substrate.

We compared acceptor-protein specificities on the formation of ADP-ribose.acceptor adducts by arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.31) purified from rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) with those of the enzyme purified from chicken peripheral polymorphonuclear cells (heterophils). Major differences are as follows: (1), p33 and beta/gamma-actin, preferential endogenous acceptor proteins for the modification by the heterophil enzyme (Mishima, K., Terashima, M., Obara, S., Yamada, K., Imai, K and Shimoyama, M. (1991) J. Biochem. 110, 388-394 and Terashima, M., Mishima, K., Yamada, K., Tsuchiya, M., Wakutani, T. and Shimoyama, M. (1992) Eur. J. Biochem. 204, 305-311) were not modified by the SR enzyme. (2), The modification of p33 by the heterophil enzyme was enhanced by addition of polyanions such as DNA while the protein did not function as acceptor for modification by the SR enzyme even in the presence of DNA. (3), To ADP-ribosylate endogenous substrate Ca(2+)-transporting ATPase (EC 3.6.1.38) of rabbit skeletal muscle SR, the SR ADP-ribosyltransferase required polycations such as poly(L-lysine), whereas the heterophil enzyme modified the ATPase in the absence of poly(L-lysine). These results suggest that vertebrate arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase prefers its own acceptor protein for the modification. Some other properties of the SR and the heterophil ADP-ribosyltransferases were also compared.

ADP-ribosylation of proteins has been observed in numerous animal tissues including chicken heterophils, rat brain, human platelets, and mouse skeletal muscle. ADP-ribosylation in these tissues is thought to modulate critical cellular functions such as muscle cell development, actin polymerization, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte proliferation. Specific substrates of the ADP-ribosyltransferases have been identified; the skeletal muscle transferase ADP-ribosylates integrin alpha 7 whereas the chicken heterophil enzyme modifies the heterophil granule protein p33 and the CTL enzyme ADP-ribosylates the membrane-associated protein p40. Transferase sequence has been determined which should assist in elucidating the role of ADP-ribosylation in cells. There is sequence similarity among the vertebrate transferases and the rodent RT6 alloantigens. The RT6 family of proteins are NAD glycohydrolases that have been shown to possess auto-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity whereas the mouse Rt6-1 is also capable of ADP-ribosylating histone. Absence of RT6+ T cells has been associated with the development of an autoimmune-mediated diabetes in rodents. Humans have an RT6 pseudogene and do not express RT6 proteins. The reversal of ADP-ribosylation is catalyzed by ADP-ribosylarginine hydrolases, which have been purified and cloned from rodent and human tissues. In principle, the transferases and hydrolases could form an intracellular ADP-ribosylation regulatory cycle. In skeletal muscle and lymphocytes, however, the transferases and their substrates are extracellular membrane proteins whereas the hydrolases described thus far are cytoplasmic. In cultured mouse skeletal muscle cells, processing of the ADP-ribosylated integrin alpha 7 was carried out by phosphodiesterases and possibly phosphatases, leaving a residual ribose attached to the (arginine)protein. Several bacterial toxin and eukaryotic mono-ADP-ribosyltransferases, and perhaps other NAD-utilizing enzymes such as the RT6 alloantigens share regions of amino acid sequence similarity, which form, in part, the catalytic site. The catalytic cleft, found in the bacterial toxins that have been studied thus far, contains a critical glutamate and other amino acids that function to position NAD for nucleophilic attack at the N-glycosidic linkage, for either ADP-ribose transfer or NAD hydrolysis. Amino acid differences among the transferases at the active site may be required for accommodating the different ADP-ribose acceptor molecules.

Exocytosis is a common phenomenon in neutrophil functions. We earlier reported the co-localization of arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase [EC 2.4.2.31] and its target protein p33 (mim-1 protein) in cytoplasmic granules in chicken polymorphonuclear leukocytes (so-called heterophils) [Mishima, K., Terashima, M., Obara, S., Yamada, K., Imai, K., and Shimoyama, M. (1991) J. Biochem. 110, 388-394]. In the present study, we obtained evidence that the transferase and p33 were released into the extracellular space by the stimulus of calcium ionophore A23187 or serum-opsonized zymosan, but scarcely by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP), thereby indicating the co-localization of the transferase and p33 in the azurophilic granules, and not in specific granules. [32P]ADP-ribosylation of p33 occurred in the extracellular space, induced by the stimulus of A23187 or opsonized zymosan in the presence of [32P]NAD. Our findings are interpreted to mean that heterophil transferase and p33 may be involved in neutrophil functions during processes of inflammation.

Recent studies have indicated that induction of apoptosis is the primary cytotoxic mechanism of most cancer chemotherapeutic agents, and abnormalities in the control of apoptosis can affect the sensitivity of malignant cells to multiple drugs. Here, we treated cells with cisplatin and other apoptotic stimuli and found that multidrug-resistant (MDR) endocervical HEN-16-2/CDDP cells, compared with drug-sensitive parental cells, were significantly more resistant to apoptosis and exhibited decreased proteolytic activation of caspase-3. The latter was further demonstrated by decreased cleavage of its substrate poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Further, Western blot analysis showed that MDR HEN-16-2/CDDP cells had significantly higher levels of the apoptosis-inhibiting proteins BAG-1 p50 and p33 isoforms and Bcl-X(L). This study provided the first evidence that overexpression of antiapoptotic BAG-1 p50 and p33 and Bcl-X(L) may cause resistance to apoptosis through reduction of caspase-3 activity in human cervical cells having an MDR phenotype.
