RT6.2 is a 26-kDa alloantigen expressed only on post-thymic T cells and attached to the cell membrane through a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. It has been reported that expression of RT6.2 in animal models may correlate with lymphopenia and genetically-induced insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Its physiological function is unclear. Since RT6.2 has significant amino acid identity with a GPI-anchored rabbit muscle NAD:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase, RT6.2 was expressed in rat mammary adenocarcinoma cells and the ability of the expressed protein to catalyze ADP-ribose transfer reactions was examined. Cells transformed with the RT6.2 gene expressed NAD glycohydrolase activity that was released from intact cells by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, consistent with its presence on the cell surface. A similar activity was not detected with vector-transformed cells. RT6.2 did not ADP-ribosylate simple guanidino compounds. The molecular weight of the phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C-released NAD glycohydrolase, determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, was 22,000-24,000, in good agreement with that of native RT6.2. These results strongly suggest that the rat T cell alloantigen RT6.2 is a GPI-anchored NAD glycohydrolase.

Molecular modeling of the S1 subunit (S1) of pertussis toxin with other ADP-ribosylating bacterial exotoxins predicted that histidine 35 (His-35) would residue within the active site of S1. Recombinant derivatives of S1 (rS1 and the C180 peptide) which contained either a H35Q or H35P mutation were analyzed to determine the role of His-35 in ADP-ribosylation. C180 peptide is a recombinant peptide composed of the amino-terminal 180 amino acids of S1. Under linear velocity conditions, C180H35Q possessed 2% of wild type C180 peptide activity and C180H35P possessed no detectable activity in the ADP-ribosylation of transducin. The H35Q mutation did not change the affinity of recombinant peptides for NAD or two targets for ADP-ribosylation, transducin, or alpha i3C20, but did lower the kcat in the NAD glycohydrolase and ADP-ribosyltransferase reactions. Neither the H35Q nor H35P mutation reduced the ability of recombinant proteins to be photocross-linked with NAD which was consistent with the His-35 mutations not reducing the affinity for NAD. These data indicate that His-35 does not reduce the affinity of S1 for NAD or transducin, but functions as a catalytic residue in the ADP-ribosylation reaction possibly in a hydrogen bonding capacity.

NAD:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferases catalyze the transfer of the ADP-ribose moiety from NAD to an arginine in an acceptor protein, whereas ADP-ribosylarginine hydrolases remove ADP-ribose, regenerating free arginine and completing an ADP-ribosylation cycle. A family of four mono-ADP-ribosyltransferases was isolated and characterized from turkey erythrocytes. Transferases from rabbit and human skeletal muscle were cloned. The muscle transferases are glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins and highly conserved across mammalian species. The rat T cell alloantigen RT6.2 has significant amino acid sequence identity to the muscle ADP-ribosyltransferase. Mammalian cells transformed with the RT6.2 coding region cDNA expressed NAD glycohydrolase activity. Sequences of RT6.2, rabbit muscle transferase and several of the bacterial toxin ADP-ribosyltransferases contain regions of amino acid similarity which, in the bacterial toxin ADP-ribosyltransferases, form the NAD-binding and active-site domains. ADP-ribosylarginine hydrolase, initially purified from turkey erythrocytes, was cloned from rat, mouse, and human brain. Deduced amino acid sequences of the rat and mouse hydrolases were 94% identical with five conserved cysteines whereas the human hydrolase sequence was 83% identical to that of the rat, with four conserved cysteines. It is unclear how an intracellular hydrolase acts in concert with a surface ADP-ribosyltransferase.

Various C3-like ADP-ribosyltransferases like Clostridium botulinum exoenzyme C3, C limosum transferase, B cereus transferase and a transferase from Staphylococcus aureus (EDIN) selectively modify the low-molecular mass GTP-binding proteins RhoA,B,C. UV-irradiation of C limosum transferase in the presence of [carbonyl-14C]NAD resulted in radiolabeling of Glu-174. Concomitantly, ADP-ribosyltransferase and NAD glycohydrolase activities were inhibited. Site-directed mutagenesis of Glu-174 (E174D, E174Q) which resulted in more than 1000-fold reduction of enzyme activity, suggests that the glutamic acid residue is essentially involved in the catalytic action of C3-like transferases. These findings support the view that all bacterial ADP-ribosyltransferases share a similar active-site structure.

A family of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked ADP-ribosyltransferases, of which cDNAs were cloned from various mammalian cells, possess a common Glu-rich motif (EEEVLIP) near their carboxyl termini. Although the first Glu in the common motif is replaced by Gln (Q207EEVLIP) in rat T lymphocyte alloantigens RT6.1 and RT6.2, the two RT6s appear to have both activities of NAD+ glycohydrolase and ADP-ribosyltransferase to a lesser extent. To investigate the significance of the Glu-rich motif in the two enzyme activities, we produced a mutant RT6.1 (Q207E), in which Gln207 was replaced by Glu, together with wild-type RT6s, in Escherichia coli. Kinetic analysis revealed that there were no marked differences in the Vmax and Km values of NAD+ glycohydrolases among the three recombinant proteins. The recombinant RT6.1 and RT6.2 displayed extremely low auto-ADP-ribosylation, although the latter modification was somewhat higher than the former. In contrast, much greater auto-modification was observed for the Q207E mutant. Moreover, the mutant could effectively ADP-ribosylate agmatine as a substrate. Thus, the single amino acid mutation of RT6.1 caused a marked increase in its ADP-ribosyltransferase activity, indicating that the Glu-rich motif near the carboxy terminus plays an important role in the enzyme activity.

Mono-ADP-ribosylation is a post-translational modification of proteins in which the ADP-ribose moiety of NAD is transferred to proteins and is responsible for the toxicity of some bacterial toxins (e.g. cholera toxin and pertussis toxin). NAD:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferases cloned from human and rabbit skeletal muscle and from mouse lymphoma (Yac-1) cells are glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored and have similar enzymatic and physical properties; transferases cloned from chicken heterophils and red cells have signal peptides and may be secreted. We report here the cloning and characterization of an ADP-ribosyltransferase (Yac-2), also from Yac-1 lymphoma cells, that differs in properties from the previously identified eukaryotic transferases. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the Yac-1 and Yac-2 transferases are 58 and 33% identical, respectively. The Yac-2 protein is membrane-bound but, unlike the Yac-1 enzyme, appears not to be glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored. The Yac-1 and Yac-2 enzymes, expressed as glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins in Escherichia coli, were used to compare their ADP-ribosyltransferase and NAD glycohydrolase activities. Using agmatine as the ADP-ribose acceptor, the Yac-1 enzyme was predominantly an ADP-ribosyltransferase, whereas the transferase and NAD glycohydrolase activities of the recombinant Yac-2 protein were equivalent. The deduced amino acid sequence of the Yac-2 transferase contained consensus regions common to several bacterial toxin and mammalian transferases and NAD glycohydrolases, consistent with the hypothesis that there is a common mechanism of NAD binding and catalysis among ADP-ribosyltransferases.

A rat T-cell antigen RT6.1 catalyzes NAD glycohydrolysis but not ADP-ribose transfer, even though the antigen has significant amino acid identity with eucaryotic arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferases. Since a highly conserved Glu in the catalytic region of these transferases is substituted with Gln at position 207 in RT6.1, we replaced the Gln with Glu, Asp, or Ala, by site-directed mutagenesis. The Glu-207 mutant produced ADP-ribosylarginine during incubation with NAD and L-arginine. The Asp-207 mutant but not the Ala-207 mutant produced ADP-ribosylarginine, but at a lower rate. In contrast, these mutations affected NAD glycohydrolase activity of RT6.1 to a much lesser extent. Kinetic studies of transferase reaction revealed that kcat of the Glu-207 mutant increased compared to findings with the Asp-207 mutant. Moreover, the mouse homologue of rat RT6 lost arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase activity when Glu-207 was replaced with Gln. Thus, Glu-207 in rodent T-cell RT6 antigens is essential for transfer reaction of ADP-ribose to arginine.

Rat RT6 proteins, and perhaps mouse Rt6, identify a set of immunoregulatory T lymphocytes. Rat RT6.1 (RT6.1) and rat RT6.2 (RT6. 2) are NAD glycohydrolases, which catalyze auto-ADP-ribosylation, but not ADP-ribosylation of exogenous proteins. Mouse Rt6.1 (mRt6.1) also catalyzes auto-ADP-ribosylation. The activity of mouse cytotoxic T lymphocytes is reportedly inhibited by ADP-ribosylation of surface proteins, raising the possibility that mRt6 may participate in this process. The reactions catalyzed by mRt6, would, however, need to be more diverse than those of the rat homologues and include the ADP-ribosylation of acceptors other than itself. To test this hypothesis, mRt6.1 and rat RT6.2 were synthesized in Sf9 insect cells and rat mammary adenocarcinoma (NMU) cells. mRt6.1, but not rat RT6.2, catalyzed the ADP-ribosylation of guanidino-containing compounds (e.g. agmatine). Unlike RT6.2, mRt6.1 was a weak NAD glycohydrolase. In the presence of agmatine, however, the ratio of [adenine-14C]ADP-ribosylagmatine formation from [adenine-14C]NAD to [carbonyl-14C]nicotinamide formation from [carbonyl-14C]NAD was approximately 1.0, demonstrating that mRt6.1 is primarily a transferase. ADP-ribosylarginine hydrolase, which preferentially hydrolyzes the alpha-anomer of ADP-ribosylarginine, released [U-14C]arginine from ADP-ribosyl[U-14C]arginine synthesized by mRT6.1, consistent with the conclusion that mRt6.1 catalyzes a stereospecific Sn2-like reaction. Thus, mRt6.1 is an NAD:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase capable of catalyzing a multiple turnover, stereospecific Sn2-like reaction.

Transfection of NMU (rat mammary adenocarcinoma) cells with NAD:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase cDNAs from Yac-1 murine lymphoma cells or rabbit muscle increased NAD glycohydrolase and ADP-ribosyltransferase activities. The ADP-ribosyltransferase activity was released from transformed NMU cells by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) and hence glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored, whereas the NAD glycohydrolase (NADase) activity remained cell-associated. By gel permeation chromatography, the size of the PI-PLC-released transferase was approximately 40 kDa and that of the detergent-solubilized NADase was approximately 100 kDa. Using polyclonal antibodies against rabbit muscle transferase on Western blots, approximately 18- and approximately 30-kDa band were visualized among proteins from the NADase fractions and 38-40-kDa bands with protein from the transferase fractions. Incubation of blots with [32P]NAD led to the incorporation of radioactivity into the immunoreactive transferase bands of 38 kDa and the immunoreactive NADase band of approximately 18 kDa. These data suggest that proteolysis of ADP-ribosyltransferase synthesized in transformed NMU cells might result in the formation of aggregates of an 18-kDa NAD glycohydrolase. A fusion protein with glutathione S-transferase linked to the amino terminus of Yac-1 transferase, from which the amino-terminal 121 amino acids had been deleted (GST-Yac-1-delta121), exhibited NADase, but not transferase, activity. The size of the recombinant fusion protein was similar to that of the proteolytic fragment seen in NMU cells transformed with transferase cDNA. These results are compatible with the conclusion that the NAD glycohydrolase activity was generated in NMU cells by proteolysis of ADP-ribosyltransferase, with release of a carboxyl-terminal fragment that possesses glycohydrolase but not transferase activity, i.e. the carboxyl-terminal portion of the transferase can exist as a catalytically active NADase.

NAD+ glycohydrolase (NADase) and non-enzymic ADP-ribosylation have been thought to be involved in the regulation of mitochondrial Ca2+ fluxes. In this study it was found that several conditions (5 mM nicotinamide, 5 mM 3-aminobenzamide, 2 mM EDTA, 1 mM ATP, 10 mM dithiothreitol) known to strongly inhibit the NADase decreased ADP-ribosylation in bovine liver mitochondrial membranes with [32P]NAD+ as substrate to only a limited extent, if at all. The reaction led to the specific modification of two proteins with apparent molecular masses of approx. 26 and 53 kDa. An excess of added free ADP-ribose diminished the incorporation of label from [32P]NAD+ only slightly. Dithiothreitol inactivated the NADase, whereas ADP-ribosylation was unaffected. At low concentrations (25 microM) ADP-ribosylation was efficient with NAD+, but not ADP-ribose, as substrate. Under these conditions mitochondrial ADP-ribosylation seems to occur as an enzymic reaction rather than a non-enzymic transfer of ADP-ribose previously liberated from NAD+ by NAD+ glycohydrolase. The chemical stability of the protein-ADP-ribose bonds in the mitochondrial membranes indicated that cysteine residues are the predominant acceptors. Moreover, yeast aldehyde dehydrogenase, known to be a substrate for thiol-associated ADP-ribosylation, was efficiently ADP-ribosylated by using the mitochondrial activity and NAD+ as substrate. The modification of a cysteine residue in the aldehyde dehydrogenase was verified by the observation that pretreatment of this acceptor protein with N-ethylmaleimide substantially decreased its modification. It is therefore concluded that bovine liver mitochondria contain a cysteine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase.
