ADP-ribosylation of proteins occurs in many eukaryotes, and it is also the mechanism of action of a growing number of important bacterial toxins. To date, however, there is only one well-characterized ADP-ribosylation system where the ADP-ribosyltransferase and the substrate protein are both bacterial in origin, namely within the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum. The present paper demonstrates the endogenous ADP-ribosylation of two proteins of Mr 32,000 and 20,000 within Pseudomonas maltophilia, a Gram-negative aerobe. The proteins have been partially purified: two apparently separate species of modified protein can be separated by ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration (V0 and Mr 158,000 - Vi). The substrate protein(s) either has, or is co-eluted with, NAD+ glycohydrolase activity. The modification is mono-ADP-ribosyl in nature. The linkage between the acceptor amino acid and the ADP-ribose moiety is alkali-labile and stable to hydroxylamine, possibly indicating an S-glycosidic bond. The activity appears to be a true ADP-ribosylation reaction and not an NAD+ glycohydrolase activity followed by non-enzymic addition of ADP-ribose to protein. The results presented here indicate that ADP-ribosylation may have a wider significance within prokaryotic systems than previously thought.

The gene encoding a catalytically active deletion peptide, the C180 peptide, of the S-1 subunit of pertussis toxin was engineered to facilitate mutagenesis at the Trp-26 (wild-type) coding sequence. A synthetic double-stranded oligonucleotide was inserted into the C180 gene such that all possible codons would be introduced into position 26. Seven individual mutants of the C180 peptide which possessed amino acid substitutions at residue 26 (collectively termed C180W26n peptides) were purified from periplasmic extracts of Escherichia coli. Each C180W26n peptide was present as a single major peptide that had an apparent molecular mass of between 20.9 and 24.5 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and each showed similar immunoreactivity relative to the C180 peptide. The C180W26n peptides demonstrated marked reduction of both ADP-ribosyltransferase and NAD glycohydrolase activities at 25 nM and 10 microM NAD, respectively. Kinetic analysis of the two most active mutants, C180W26F and C180W26Y, revealed that the major perturbation of NAD glycohydrolase activity was due to an increase (approximately 20-fold) in the Km for NAD between these mutants and the C180 peptide.

Sulfhydryl-alkylating reagents are known to inactivate the NAD glycohydrolase and ADP-ribosyltransferase activities of the S1 subunit of pertussis toxin, a protein which contains two cysteines at positions 41 and 200. It has been proposed that NAD can retard alkylation of one of the two cysteines of this protein (Kaslow, H.R., and Lesikar, D.D. (1987) Biochemistry 26, 4397-4402). We now report that NAD retards the ability of these alkylating reagents to inactivate the S1 subunit. In order to determine which cysteine is protected by NAD, we used site-directed mutagenesis to construct analogs of the toxin with serines at positions 41 and/or 200. Sulfhydryl-alkylating reagents reduced the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of the analog with a single cysteine at position 41; NAD retarded this inactivation. In contrast, sulfhydryl-alkylating reagents did not inactivate analogs with serine at position 41. An analog with alanine at position 41 possessed substantial ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. We conclude that alkylation of cysteine 41, and not cysteine 200, inactivates the S1 subunit of pertussis toxin, but that the sulfhydryl group of cysteine 41 is not essential for the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of the toxin. These results suggest that the region near cysteine 41 contributes to features of the S1 subunit important for ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. Using site-directed mutagenesis, we found that changing aspartate 34 to asparagine, arginine 39 to lysine, and glutamine 42 to glutamate had little effect on ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. However, substituting an asparagine for the histidine at position 35 markedly decreased, but did not eliminate, ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. Chou-Fasman analysis predicted no significant modifications in secondary structure of the S1 peptide with the change of histidine 35 to asparagine. Thus, histidine 35 may interact with a substrate of the S1 subunit without being essential for catalysis.

Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough, releases pertussis toxin in an inactive form. The toxin consists of an A protomer containing one S1 peptide subunit and a B oligomer containing several other peptide subunits. The toxin binds to cells via the B oligomer, and the S1 subunit is activated and expresses ADP-ribosyltransferase and NAD glycohydrolase activities. Treatment of purified toxin with dithiothreitol (DTT) in vitro increases both activities. ATP and the detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS) synergistically reduce the A0.5 (activation constant) for DTT from greater than 100 mM to 200 microM. We studied the structure-activity relationships of activators of the toxin. In the presence of CHAPS (1%) and DTT (10 mM) the following compounds increased the NAD glycohydrolase activity of the toxin with the following A0.5's in microM and fraction of the ATP effect in parentheses: ATP, 0.2 (1.0); ADP, 6 (0.8); UTP, 15 (0.7); GTP, 35 (0.6); pyrophosphate, 45 (0.7); triphosphate, 60 (0.6); tetraphosphate, greater than or equal to 170 (greater than or equal to 0.4). Thus, the polyphosphate moiety is sufficient to stimulate the toxin, and the adenosine moiety confers upon ATP its extraordinary affinity for the toxin. Phospholipid and detergents could substitute for CHAPS in the activation of the toxin. Glutathione substituted for DTT with an A0.5 of 2 mM, a concentration within the range found in eucaryotic cells. Thus, membrane lipids and cellular concentrations of glutathione and ATP are sufficient to activate pertussis toxin without the need for a eucaryotic enzymatic process.

Choleragen (cholera toxin) activates adenylate cyclase by catalyzing ADP-ribosylation of Gs alpha, the stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding protein. It was recently found (Tsai, S.-C., Noda, M., Adamik, R., Moss, J., and Vaughan, M. (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 84, 5139-5142) that a bovine brain membrane protein known as ADP-ribosylation factor or ARF, which enhances ADP-ribosylation of Gs alpha, also increases the GTP-dependent NAD:arginine and NAD:protein ADP-ribosyltransferase, NAD glycohydrolase, and auto-ADP-ribosylation activities of choleragen. We report here the purification and characterization of two soluble proteins from bovine brain that similarly enhance the Gs alpha-dependent and independent ADP-ribose transfer reactions catalyzed by toxin. Like membrane ARF, both soluble factors are 19-kDA proteins dependent on GTP or GTP analogues for activity. Maximal ARF effects were observed at a molar ratio of less than 2:1, ARF/toxin A subunit. Dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine was necessary for optimal ADP-ribosylation of Gs alpha but inhibited auto-ADP-ribosylation of the choleragen A1 subunit and NAD:agmatine ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. It appears that the soluble factors directly activate choleragen in a GTP-dependent fashion. The relationships of the ARF proteins to the ras oncogene products and to the family of guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins that includes Gs alpha remains to be determined.

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.

1. NADase activity has been determined on intact erythrocytes of several species. 2. Although a wide range in maximum velocity exists across species, Michaelis constants observed are very similar. 3. The enzyme is found on the outer surface of the erythrocyte plasma membrane. 4. It is inhibited by substrate after an apparent permanent modification. 5. This modification may be due to self ADP-ribosylation. 6. We have also demonstrated the presence of an ADP-ribosyltransferase on the outer surface of the sheep erythrocyte membrane.

Pertussis toxin (islet-activating protein) activates adenylate cyclase in susceptible cells by ADP-ribosylating an inhibitory component of the cyclase system. This toxin, assayed in a cell-free system in the presence of high concentrations of thiol, catalyzed the hydrolysis of NAD to ADP-ribose and nicotinamide. This NAD glycohydrolase activity co-chromatographed on Sephacryl G-200 in 6.5 M urea, pH 3.2, 0.1 M glycine with the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of the toxin, as monitored by the transfer of [32P]ADP-ribose from [32P]NAD to a 41,000-Da protein in NG108-15 neuroblastoma X glioma hybrid cells. In the absence of thiol, the native holotoxin was enzymatically inactive. Following addition of 250 mM dithiothreitol to the assay, maximal enzymatic activity was evident after a delay of approximately 1 h; with 20 mM thiol, the delay was longer. The Km for NAD with the fully activated enzyme was 25 microM; the Km did not appear to vary with the extent of activation. Thiol was necessary in a cell-free system to demonstrate NAD glycohydrolase activity. When extensively washed membranes were used as a source of 41,000-Da substrate, thiol was necessary to observe ADP-ribosylation in some cases (human erythrocytes) and significantly stimulated activity in others (NG108-15 cells). In contrast to the bacterial toxins choleragen and Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin that ADP-ribosylate stimulatory components of the cyclase system, pertussis toxin did not transfer ADP-ribose to low molecular weight guanidino compounds, such as arginine or agmatine.

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.

An NAD+:cysteine ADP-ribosyltransferase activity was purified from bovine erythrocytes on the assumption that, like pertussis toxin, the enzyme would exhibit a cysteine-dependent NAD+ glycohydrolase activity. A three-step purification procedure was developed involving (1) precipitation with 40% (NH4)2SO4, (2) binding to a cysteine-Sepharose affinity column, and (3) binding to an NAD+ affinity column. PAGE showed a single band of M(r) 45,000. The enzyme had been purified 47,000-fold and had a specific activity of 1900 nmol nicotinamide released/min per mg. A study of the kinetic properties of this enzyme showed saturation kinetics for cysteine (Km = 4.0 mM). The ability of this enzyme to ADP-ribosylate protein was investigated using re-sealed inverted bovine erythrocyte ghosts. Incubation of the purified enzyme with erythrocyte ghosts and [adenylate-32P]NAD+ led to the enhanced dose-dependent labelling of several proteins, a doublet of high M(r) and proteins of M(r) 60,000, 55,000 and 29,000, identified by autoradiography of separated proteins on SDS/PAGE. The enzyme-catalysed labelling of the major component at M(r) 55,000 was blocked by pre-treatment of the erythrocyte ghosts with N-ethymaleimide, a sulphydryl alkylating agent, and the label was released by mercuric ion, but not by hydroxylamine. These experiments suggested that a cysteine residue on the target protein had been mono-ADP-ribosylated. This supposition was further supported by identification of the mercf1p4ion-released radiolabelled product as ADP-ribose by HPLC, and the observation that free ADP-ribose was unable to modify the membrane target protein directly.
