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.

Fragment A of diphtheria toxin and Pseudomonas toxin A intoxicate cells by ADP-ribosylating the diphthamide residue of elongation factor-2 (EF-2) resulting in an inhibition of protein synthesis [1-3]. A cellular enzyme from polyoma virus transformed baby hamster kidney (pyBHK) cells ADP-ribosylates EF-2 in an identical manner [4]. Here we describe a similar cellular enzyme from beef liver which transfers [adenosine-14C]ADP-ribose from NAD to EF-2. The 14C-label can be removed from the EF-2 by snake venom phosphodiesterase as a soluble product which comigrates with AMP on TLC plates, indicating the 14C-label is present on EF-2 as monomeric units of ADP-ribose. Furthermore, the forward transferase reaction catalyzed by the beef liver ADP-ribosyltransferase is reversible by excess diphtheria toxin fragment A, with the formation of 14C-labeled NAD, indicating that both transferases ADP-ribosylate the same site on the diphthamide residue of EF-2. Thus, beef liver and pyBHK mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferases both modify the diphthamide residue of EF-2, in a manner identical to diphtheria toxin fragment A and Pseudomonas toxin A. These results suggest the cellular enzyme is probably ubiquitous among eukaryotic cells.

Oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) in cytosol may interact with renal brush-border membranes (BBM) and inhibit BBM phosphate transport. The possible mechanism of interaction was investigated in the present study. Incubation of BBM with [adenine-3H]NAD+ led to acid-stable binding of 3H to the BBM, in contrast there was no binding of 14C when [carbonyl-14C]NAD+ was used. The data are consistent with an ADP-ribosylation mechanism involving transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD+ to BBM. This was confirmed by using [adenylate-32P]NAD+ and by the release of bound 32P in the form of 5'-[32P]AMP when the BBM were treated with snake venom phosphodiesterase. After gradient centrifugation of BBM the ADP-ribosyltransferase was recovered at the same density as known BBM enzymes, indicating that ADP-ribosyltransferase is an intrinsic BBM component and not a contaminant. These findings indicate that cytosolic NAD+ may be used for ADP-ribosylation of BBM proteins and that this may be a mechanism for regulating the BBM phosphate transport system.

ADP-ribosyltransferase activity has been characterized in free messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNP) from mouse plasmacytoma cells. This enzymatic activity appears to be associated with the free mRNP and not due to nuclear contamination. The enzyme activity is not stimulated by added DNA or histone H1 and represents 34 per cent of the total cellular ADP-ribosyltransferase activity while the DNA contamination in free mRNP is less than 4 per cent of the total cellular DNA. Moreover, the ADP-ribosyltransferase specific activity per mg of DNA is about 75-fold higher in free mRNP than in the nuclei. During CsCl gradient centrifugation of the cytoplasmic fraction, the ADP-ribosylated material separates out at a buoyant density similar to that of free mRNP. This ADP-ribosyltransferase activity is inhibited by thymidine, nicotinamide and 3-aminobenzamide, while it is highly stimulated by exogenous pancreatic RNase. The in vitro synthesized acid insoluble material is rendered partly soluble by treatment by a proteolytic enzyme or by snake venom phosphodiesterase resulting in phosphoribosyl-AMP formation: the pancreatic RNase does not solubilize this material. Several ADP-ribosylated proteins are detected by lithium dodecylsulfate gel electrophoresis. Such an ADP-ribosyltransferase activity has also been detected in free mRNP from rat liver. It is suggested that this ADP-ribosylation of specific free mRNP proteins may be associated with free mRNP structure and/or with some chemical covalent type of modification rendering mRNA available for translation.

An ADP-ribosyltransferase was found in elongation factor 2 (EF-2) preparations from polyoma virus-transformed baby hamster kidney (pyBHK) cells. Like fragment A of diphtheria toxin and Pseudomonas toxin A, this eukaryotic cellular enzyme transfers [14C]adenosine from NAD+ to EF-2. However, the cellular transferase is immunologically distinct from fragment A. The transferase also can be distinguished from fragment A and Pseudomonas toxin A by the inhibition of the activity of the former by cytoplasmic extracts and by histamine. Snake venom phosphodiesterase digestion of the [14C]adenosine-labeled EF-2 product of the cellular transferase reaction yielded [14C]AMP, indicating that the cellular enzyme is a mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase. The forward ADP-ribosylation reaction catalyzed by the cellular enzyme is reversed by fragment A, yielding [14C]NAD+. The results strongly suggest that the cellular transferase is a mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase, which ADP-ribosylates the same diphthamide residue of EF-2 as does fragment A and Pseudomonas toxin A.

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.

The effect of cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent phosphorylation and ADP-ribosylation on the activities of the rat liver bifunctional enzyme, 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (PFK-2/FBPase-2), was investigated in order to determine the role of the N-terminus in covalent modification of the enzyme. The bifunctional enzyme was demonstrated to be a substrate in vitro for arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase: 2 mol of ADP-ribose was incorporated per mol of subunit. The Km values for NAD+ and PFK-2/FBPase-2 were 14 microM and 0.4 microM respectively. A synthetic peptide (Val-Leu-Gln-Arg-Arg-Arg-Gly-Ser-Ser-Ile-Pro-Gln) corresponding to the site phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase was ADP-ribosylated on all three arginine residues. Analysis of ADP-ribosylation of analogue peptides containing only two arginine residues, with the third replaced by alanine, revealed that ADP-ribosylation occurred predominantly on the two most C-terminal arginine residues. Sequencing of the ADP-ribosylated native enzyme also demonstrated that the preferred sites were at Arg-29 and Arg-30, which are just N-terminal to Ser-32, whose phosphorylation is catalysed by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). ADP-ribosylation was independent of the phosphorylation state of the enzyme. Furthermore, ADP-ribosylation of the enzyme decreased its recognition by liver-specific anti-bifunctional-enzyme antibodies directed to its unique N-terminal region. ADP-ribosylation of PFK-2/FBPase-2 blocked its phosphorylation by PKA, and decreased its PFK-2 activity, but did not alter FBPase-2 activity. In contrast, cAMP-dependent phosphorylation inhibited the kinase and activated the bisphosphatase. These results demonstrate that ADP-ribosylation of arginine residues just N-terminal to the site phosphorylated by PKA modulate PFK-2 activity by an electrostatic and/or steric mechanism which does not involved uncoupling of N- and C-terminal interactions as seen with cAMP-dependent phosphorylation.

Cholera toxin (CTX) is composed of two subunits, subunit A, which possesses ADP-ribosyltransferase activity, and subunit B, which is responsible for receptor binding. It has previously been shown that agents that increase cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels in cells induce differentiation of PC12 cells into neurite-like cells. In this report, we show that as little as 100 pg of CTX per ml induces such changes. CTX was found to ADP-ribosylate at least four membrane proteins of PC12 cells in vitro and in vivo and to increase intracellular cAMP levels. We have developed an inducible ctx gene expression system in Vibrio cholerae by using the tac promoter. The culture medium of the CTX-producing bacteria was able to induce the morphological changes and the ADP-ribosylation of the PC12 cell membrane proteins. We have constructed two CTX-cross-reactive mutant proteins (CTX-CRM) by site-directed mutagenesis. The choice of glutamic acid 29 as the target amino acid was based on sequence similarities with other bacterial toxins. CTX-CRM-E29 delta, in which the Glu-29 of the A subunit was deleted, showed strongly reduced ADP-ribosyltransferase activity and did not induce significant morphological changes of PC12 cells. In contrast, CTX-CRM-E29D, in which the Glu-29 was replaced by an aspartic acid, was as active as the wild-type protein. We conclude that the ADP-ribosylation activity of CTX is important for the toxin-induced differentiation of PC12 cells. Pertussis toxin, which had no visible effect on PC12 cell morphology, was also able to ADP-ribosylate a membrane-bound protein(s) in vitro and in vivo. Pertussis toxin alone did not significantly increase cAMP levels in PC12 cells, but it acted synergistically with CTX.

Previous studies of cholera toxin and Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin have suggested that proteolytic cleavage plays an important role in the expression of ADP-ribosyltransferase activity and toxicity. Specifically, several studies have implicated a trypsin-like cleavage at arginine 192, which lies within an exposed region subtended by a disulfide bond in the intact A subunit, in toxicity. To investigate the role of this modification in the enzymatic and cytotonic properties of heat-labile enterotoxin, the response of purified, recombinant A subunit to tryptic activation and the effect of substituting arginine 192 with glycine on the activities of the holotoxin were examined. The recombinant A subunit of heat-labile enterotoxin exhibited significant levels of ADP-ribosyltransferase activity that were only nominally increased (approximately twofold) by prior limited trypsinolysis. The enzymatic activity also did not appear to be affected by auto-ADP-ribosylation that occurs during the high-level synthesis of the recombinant A subunit in E. coli. A mutant form of the holotoxin containing the arginine 192-to-glycine substitution exhibited levels of cytotonic activity for CHO cells that were similar to that of the untreated, wild-type holotoxin but exhibited a marked delay in the ability to increase intracellular levels of cyclic AMP in Caco-2 cells. The results indicate that trypsin-like cleavage of the A subunit of E. coli heat-labile enterotoxin at arginine 192 is not requisite to the expression of enzymatic activity by the A subunit and further reveal that this modification, although it enhances the biological and enzymatic activities of the toxin, is not absolutely required for the enterotoxin to elicit cytotonic effects.

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.
