Transducin is the retinal rod outer segment (ROS)-specific G protein coupling the photoexcited rhodopsin to cyclic GMP-phosphodiesterase. The alpha subunit of transducin is known to be ADP-ribosylated by bacterial toxins. We investigated the possibility that transducin is modified in vitro by an endogenous ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. By using either ROS, cytosolic extract of ROS or purified transducin in the presence of [alpha-32P]nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), the alpha and beta subunits of transducin were found to be radiolabeled. The labeling was decreased by snake venom phosphodiesterase I (PDE I). The modification was shown to be mono ADP-ribosylation by analyses on thin layer chromatography of the PDE I-hydrolyzed products which revealed only 5'AMP residues. In addition we report that sodium nitroprusside activates the ADP-ribosylation of transducin.

When the homogenate prepared from immature rat testes was incubated with [32P]NAD, several proteins (90, 39 and 20 kDa) were ADP-ribosylated in the absence of bacterial toxins. This observation suggested the existence of an endogenous ADP-ribosyltransferase and substrates. The data that the digested product by phosphodiesterase of ADP-ribosylated 20 kDa protein was 5'-AMP suggested that 20 kDa protein was mono(ADP-ribosyl)ated. In addition, the mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of 20 kDa protein was enhanced by guanine nucleotides such as GTP, GDP and GTP[gamma S], and decreased by the concentrations of 10 mM Mg2+. In contrast, the incorporation of ADP-ribose moiety from NAD to both 90 and 39 kDa proteins was not changed by guanine nucleotides. On the other hand, mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of 20 kDa protein was not observed in the homogenate prepared from other tissues of the same rats. Furthermore, we found that mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of 20 kDa protein was decreased with the maturation of the rats and that an endogenous mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase and 20 kDa protein were located in the nuclei.

The Ha-ras protooncogene product p21, which may be involved in control of cellular growth, is a membrane protein that binds guanine nucleotides and hydrolyzes GTP. p21 GTPase activity is stimulated by lysophosphatidylcholine; a delay in activation was observed unless p21 was incubated with the phospholipid prior to assay. Maximal activation by the phospholipid was observed over a narrow concentration range; the presence in the assay mixture of lysophosphatidylcholine at concentrations above this optimum markedly inhibited p21 GTPase. GTP hydrolysis was also stimulated, but to a lesser degree, by phosphatidylcholine. Phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylserine did not significantly enhance GTPase activity. The stimulatory effect of phospholipid was mimicked, in part, by nonionic detergents. p21 may be related to other GTPases, the regulatory guanine nucleotide-binding G proteins of the hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase complex and transducin of the retinal light-activated phosphodiesterase system. The G proteins and transducin are heterotrimers; the alpha subunits possess GTPase activity and the beta gamma subunit complex along with agonist-receptor complex or light-activated rhodopsin enhance GTP hydrolysis. p21 GTPase activity was slightly stimulated by rhodopsin, but, in contrast to the GTPase activity of transducin, stimulation was not light-dependent. GTP hydrolysis was enhanced somewhat by beta gamma subunit complex in the absence, but not in the presence, of rhodopsin. Like the G proteins and transducin, activity of p21 was altered by ADP-ribosylation. Modification of p21 catalyzed by an NAD: arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase purified from turkey erythrocytes decreased both GTPase activity and guanine nucleotide binding activity.

Thiols such as cysteine and dithiothreitol are substrates for the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of pertussis toxin. When cysteine was incubated with NAD+ and toxin at pH 7.5, a product containing ADP-ribose and cysteine (presumably ADP-ribosylcysteine) was isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography, and characterized by its composition and release of AMP with phosphodiesterase. Cysteine has a Km of 105 mM at saturating NAD+ concentration. The ability of thiols to act as a substrate is one explanation for the very high concentrations (250 mM or greater) that have been observed to enhance the apparent NAD glycohydrolase activity of the toxin.

Adenyl-32P-Labeled 3'-deoxy-NAD+ was utilized as a substrate by pure DNA-dependent poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (EC 2.4.2.30) from calf thymus in the automodification reaction with an apparent Km of 20 microM and a Vmax of 80 nmol/min/mg of protein. Analysis by lithium lauryl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed a single 32P-labeled protein of 116-kDa which comigrated with automodified enzyme. Addition of increasing amounts of histone H1 up to a concentration of 15 micrograms/ml stimulated the synthesis of protein-bound polymers of 3'-deoxy-ADP-ribose. However, the average polymer size was equal to 2 in the presence and 4 in the absence of histone H1, respectively. The synthesis of protein-bound oligomers of 3'-deoxy-ADP-ribose was inhibited by the polymerase inhibitors benzamide, nicotinamide, thymidine, and NaCl. A pulse labeling of polymer synthesis with 40 microM [32P]3'-deoxy-NAD+ either in the presence or absence of 15 micrograms/ml of histone H1, followed by a chase with 1 mM [3H]NAD+, was used to determine the mechanism of poly(ADP-ribose) elongation. Following enzyme digestion of these polymers with phosphodiesterase, it was found that 52 and 24% of the total 32P radiolabel was associated with the 3'-deoxy-AMP termini of the polymers synthesized in the pulse reactions, in the presence or absence of histone H1, respectively. In contrast, less than 10% of the total radioactivity was associated with 3'-deoxy-AMP in the product of the chase reactions. These results are consistent with the conclusion that the initially attached residue of 3'-deoxy-ADP-ribose to either the polymerase or histone H1, is elongated by the "protein-distal" addition of ADP-ribose residues to the AMP terminus of the growing polymer chain.

Poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase has been purified about 12 300-fold from pig thymus with a recovery of 8.5%. The specific activity of the purified enzyme is 13.8 mumol min -1 mg protein -1. The molecular weight was estimated to be 59 000 by gel filtration through Sephadex G-100 in a non-denaturing solvent. Analysis of the final preparation by sodium dodecyl sulphate gel electrophoresis reveals two protein bands of molecular weight, 61 500 and 67 500. The Km value for poly(ADP-ribose) is estimated to be 1.8 microM monomer units. The enzyme preparation is free from phosphodiesterase, NADase and ADP-ribosyltransferase activities. The purified enzyme is inhibited by cyclic AMP, ADP-ribose, naphthylamine, histones H1, H2A, H2B, H3, polylysine, polyarginine, polyornithine and protamine. The inhibition by histone is relieved by an equal mass of DNA. Single-stranded DNA, poly(A), poly(I) and polyvinyl sulphate were inhibitory, but double-stranded DNA was not inhibitory.

This report demonstrates that incubation of cytotoxic T cells with NAD causes suppression of their ability to proliferate in response to stimulator cells or to lyse targets. Effects are evident after incubation for 3 h with concentrations of NAD as low as 1 microM and are sustained for many hours after removal of NAD from culture media. Suppression is a result of the failure of CTL to form specific conjugates with targets as well as a lower level of activation in response to TCR-mediated stimulation, although TCR-mediated transmembrane signaling is demonstrable. Metabolites of NAD such as nicotinamide, ADP-ribose, and cyclic-ADP-ribose have no detectable effect, indicating that NAD-glycohydrolase or ADP-ribose cyclase do not mediate suppression. Incubation of intact CTL with [32P]NAD leads to incorporation of 32P into a particulate, subcellular fraction, a reaction that is not inhibitable by ADP-ribose. Hydroxylamine, but not mercuric ion releases [32P]ADP-ribose, whereas phosphodiesterase releases [32P]AMP from the particulate subcellular fraction, suggesting that labeling is a result of enzymatic mono-ADP-ribosylation of arginines. In support of this, treatment of intact CTL with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C releases an arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase and causes insensitivity to ecto-NAD suppression. These results suggest that a GPI-anchored ADP-ribosyltransferase uses ecto-NAD to ADP-ribosylate proteins that regulate CTL function.

Post-translational modifications are important in regulating the functions of signal proteins. This is well established for intracellular proteins, but little is known in the case of extracellular domains of cell surface molecules. We recently described a cell surface protein, mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase (ADPRT), on cytotoxic T cells and showed that it mediates attachment of ADP-ribose to cell surface proteins. Concomitantly, cytolytic activity and cell proliferation are inhibited. Here we report that one of the principal proteins modified by this enzyme is lymphocyte function-associated molecule-1 (LFA-1). While both chains are ADP-ribosylated on the extracellular domain of the molecule, persistence of the modification differs between the chains. Label is released from the beta-chain by 1 h, yet remains for at least 6 h on the alpha-chain. Loss of label is suppressed by phosphodiesterase inhibitors such as ADP-ribose and p-nitrophenylthymidine 5'-monophosphate, pointing to the involvement of this class of enzyme. Modification of LFA-1 requires expression of the cell surface ADPRT and causes the loss of epitopes recognized by alpha- and beta-chain-specific Abs. Concomitantly, the generation of inositol phosphates induced by Ab cross-linking of LFA-1 is significantly inhibited. Consistent with this effect, anti-LFA-1-induced homotypic cell adhesion is also inhibited. These effects are not seen in cells from which the ADPRT was removed by phospholipase C. Moreover, cells lacking the cell surface ADPRT are not inhibited by NAD in the cell adhesion assay, but gain this property upon transfection with the ADPRT gene. It is concluded that the cell surface protein mono-ADPRT regulates LFA-1 functions.

Mono-ADP-ribosylation in mammals is poorly understood. In this study, we found mono-ADP-ribosylated actin in rat brains. Mono-ADP-ribosylated actin by ADP-ribosyltransferase or nonenzymatic reaction was shown at a different position from the unmodified actin in the isoelectrical focusing. High-pressure liquid chromatography utilizing a reverse phase (ODS) column separated ADP-ribosylated actin from unmodified actin. In the two-dimensional gel electrophoreses and high-pressure liquid chromatography, the endogenously ADP-ribosylated actin was detected in the supernatant fraction from the rat brain extract, where a nonpolymerizing actin was present after removal of the polymerizing actin. The concentration of NAD and ADP-ribose, after microwave irradiation, was 220 nmol and 150 nmol/g of rat brain tissue. Actin ADP-ribosylated by purified ADP-ribosyltransferase failed to form actin filaments after the addition of Mg2+. Actin ADP-ribosylated by the nonenzymatic reaction could polymerize with the addition of Mg2+. The enzymatically modified actin could form actin filaments after treatment with ADP-ribosylhydrolase but not after treatment with phosphodiesterase. These results suggest that ADP-ribosylated actin by enzymatic or nonenzymatic reaction is one of the sequestering factors in actin-actin binding and is a part of the actin pool in the rat brain.

Cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase, a key enzyme in phototransduction, is composed of P alpha beta and two P gamma subunits. Interaction of P gamma with P alpha beta or with the alpha subunit (T alpha) of transducin is crucial for the regulation of cGMP phosphodiesterase in retinal photoreceptors. Here we have investigated phosphorylation of P gamma by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and its functional effect on the P gamma interaction with P alpha beta or T alpha in vitro. P gamma, but not P gamma complexed with T alpha (both GTP and GDP forms), is phosphorylated. Measurement of 32P radioactivity in phosphorylated P gamma, analysis of phosphorylated P gamma by laser mass spectrometry, identification of phosphoamino acid, and phosphorylation of mutant forms of P gamma indicate that only threonine 35 in P gamma is phosphorylated. Phosphorylation of P gamma mutants also reveals that the C and N terminals of P gamma which are required for the regulation of P alpha beta functions are not involved in the P gamma phosphorylation but that arginine 33, which is ADP-ribosylated by an endogenous ADP-ribosyltransferase, is required for the phosphorylation. Phosphorylated P gamma has a higher inhibitory activity for trypsin-activated cGMP phosphodiesterase than nonphosphorylated P gamma, indicating that the P gamma-P alpha beta interaction is affected by P gamma phosphorylation. Nonphosphorylated P gamma inhibits both the GTPase activity of T alpha and the binding of a hydrolysis-resistant GTP analogue to T alpha, while P gamma phosphorylation reduces these inhibitory activities. These observations suggest that a P gamma domain containing threonine 35 is involved in the P gamma-T alpha interaction, and P gamma phosphorylation regulates the P gamma-T alpha interaction. Our observation suggests that P gamma phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase may function for the regulation of phototransduction in vertebrate rod photoreceptors.
