The 14-3-3 proteins are a family of conserved, dimeric proteins that interact with a diverse set of ligands, including molecules involved in cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. It is well-established that 14-3-3 binds to many ligands through phosphoserine motifs. Here we characterize the interaction of 14-3-3 with a nonphosphorylated protein ligand, the ADP-ribosyltransferase Exoenzyme S (ExoS) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. By using affinity chromatography and surface plasmon resonance, we show that the zeta isoform of 14-3-3 (14-3-3zeta) can directly bind a catalytically active fragment of ExoS in vitro. The interaction between ExoS and 14-3-3zeta is of high affinity, with an equilibrium dissociation constant of 7 nM. ExoS lacks any known 14-3-3 binding motif, but to address the possibility that 14-3-3 binds a noncanonical phosphoserine site, we assayed ExoS for protein-bound phosphate by using mass spectrometry. No detectable phosphoproteins were found. A phosphopeptide ligand of 14-3-3, pS-Raf-259, was capable of inhibiting the binding of 14-3-3 to ExoS, suggesting that phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated ligands may share a common binding site, the conserved amphipathic groove. It is conceivable that 14-3-3 proteins may bind both phosphoserine and nonphosphoserine ligands in cells, possibly allowing kinase-dependent as well as kinase-independent regulation of 14-3-3 binding.

Phospholipase D (PLD) has been implicated as a crucial signaling enzyme in secretory pathways. Two 20-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding proteins, Rho and ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF), are involved in the regulation of secretion and can activate PLD in vitro. We investigated in intact (human adenocarcinoma A549 cells) the role of RhoA and ARF in activation of PLD by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, bradykinin, and/or sphingosine 1-phosphate. To express recombinant Clostridium botulinum C3 exoenzyme (using double subgenomic recombinant Sindbis virus C3), an ADP-ribosyltransferase that inactivates Rho, or dominant-negative Rho containing asparagine at position 19 (using double subgenomic recombinant Sindbis virus Rho19N), cells were infected with Sindbis virus, a novel vector that allows rapid, high level expression of heterologous proteins. Expression of C3 toxin or Rho19N increased basal and decreased phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-stimulated PLD activity. Bradykinin or sphingosine 1-phosphate increased PLD activity with additive effects that were abolished in cells expressing C3 exoenzyme or Rho19N. In cells expressing C3, modification of Rho appeared to be incomplete, suggesting the existence of pools that differed in their accessibility to the enzyme. Similar results were obtained with cells scrape-loaded in the presence of C3; however, results with virus infection were more reproducible. To assess the role of ARF, cells were incubated with brefeldin A (BFA), a fungal metabolite that disrupts Golgi structure and inhibits enzymes that catalyze ARF activation by accelerating guanine nucleotide exchange. BFA disrupted Golgi structure, but did not affect basal or agonist-stimulated PLD activity, i.e. it did not alter a rate-limiting step in PLD activation. It also had no effect on Rho-stimulated PLD activity, indicating that RhoA action did not involve a BFA-sensitive pathway. A novel PLD activation mechanism, not sensitive to BFA and involving RhoA, was identified in human airway epithelial cells by use of a viral infection technique that preserves cell responsiveness.

The short-term cardiac side effects of 2',3'-dideoxycytidine (ddC, zalcitabine) were studied in rats in order to understand the biochemical events contributing to the development of ddC-induced cardiomyopathy. In developing animals, ddC treatment provoked a surprisingly rapid appearance of cardiac malfunctions characterized by prolonged RR, PR, and QT intervals and J point depression. The energy metabolism in the heart was compromised, characterized by a decreased creatine phosphate/creatine ratio (from 2.05 normal value to 0.75) and a decreased free ATP/ADP ratio (from 332 normal value to 121). The activity of respiratory complexes (NADH: cytochrome c oxidoreductase and cytochrome oxidase) also decreased significantly. Southern blot and polymerase chain reaction analysis did not show deletions or a decrease in the quantity of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deriving from ddC-treated rat hearts, indicating that under our experimental conditions, ddC-induced heart abnormalities were not the direct consequence of mtDNA-related damage. The ddC treatment of rats significantly increased the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in heart and skeletal muscle as determined by the oxidation of non-fluorescent dihydrorhodamine123 to fluorescent rhodamine123 and the oxidation of cellular proteins determined from protein carbonyl content. An activation of the nuclear poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (EC 2.4.2.30) and an increase in the mono-ADP-ribosylation of glucose-regulated protein and desmin were observed in the cardiac tissue from ddC-treated animals. A decrease in the quantity of heat shock protein (HSP)70s was also detected, while the level of HSP25 and HSP60 remained unchanged. Surprisingly, ddC treatment induced a skeletal muscle-specific decrease in the quantity of three proteins, one of which was identified by N-terminal sequencing as myoglobin, and another by tandem mass spectrometer sequencing as triosephosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.1). These data show that the short term cardiotoxicity of ddC is partially based on ROS-mediated signalling through poly- and mono-ADP-ribosylation reactions and depression of HSP70 levels, whose processes represent a new mtDNA independent mechanism for ddC-induced cell damage.

Despite its conservation in organisms from bacteria to human and its general requirement for transcriptional silencing in yeast, the function of the Sir2 protein is unknown. Here we show that Sir2 can transfer labeled phosphate from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide to itself and histones in vitro. A modified form of Sir2, which results from its automodification activity, is specifically recognized by anti-mono-ADP-ribose antibodies, suggesting that Sir2 is an ADP-ribosyltransferase. Mutation of a phylogenetically invariant histidine residue in Sir2 abolishes both its enzymatic activity in vitro and its silencing functions in vivo. However, the mutant protein is associated with chromatin and other silencing factors in a manner similar to wild-type Sir2. These findings suggest that Sir2 contains an ADP-ribosyltransferase activity that is essential for its silencing function.

The bile salt, sodium deoxycholate (NaDOC), is a natural detergent that promotes digestion of fats. At high physiologic levels, NaDOC activates many stress-response pathways and induces apoptosis in various cell types. NaDOC induces DNA damage and activates poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), an enzyme that utilizes NAD+ as a substrate to repair DNA. NaDOC also induces oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and contributes to protein malfolding. The NAD+ precursors, nicotinic acid (NA) and nicotinamide (NAM) were found to protect cells against NaDOC-induced apoptosis. NA and NAM also decreased constitutive levels of both activated NF-kappaB and GRP78, two proteins that respond to oxidative stress. However, the mechanism by which NA and NAM protects cells against apoptosis does not involve a reduction in constitutive levels of oxidative stress. NA or NAM treatment increased the protein levels of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogense (GAPDH), a multi-functional enzyme, in the nucleus and cytoplasm, respectively. NAM did not activate the promoter/response elements of 13 stress response genes nor reduce intracellular non-protein thiols, suggesting that it is non-toxic to cells. NAM thus has promise as a dietary supplement to help prevent disorders involving excessive apoptosis.

This study was undertaken to examine the role of lipid peroxidation and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activation in H(2)O(2)-induced inhibition of Na(+)-dependent phosphate (Na(+)-Pi) uptake in opossum kidney (OK) cells. H(2)O(2) inhibited Na(+)-Pi uptake in a dose-dependent manner. H(2)O(2)-induced inhibition of Na(+)-Pi uptake was prevented by dithiothreitol and glutathione. A potent antioxidant, DPPD, had no effect on H(2)O(2) inhibition of Na(+)-Pi uptake, despite completely inhibiting lipid peroxidation induced by H(2)O(2). However, in primary cultured rabbit proximal tubular cells, the effect of H(2)O(2) on Na(+)-Pi uptake was significantly prevented by DPPD, suggesting a species difference in the role of lipid peroxidation in the inhibition of Na(+)-Pi uptake occurring with H(2)O(2). t-Butylhydroperoxide (tBHP) caused the inhibition of Na(+)-Pi uptake that was prevented by DPPD in OK cells and rabbit proximal tubular cells. The PARP inhibitor 3-aminobenzamide completely protected the inhibition of Na(+)-Pi uptake induced by H(2)O(2) but not by tBHP. H(2)O(2)-induced ATP depletion was prevented by 3-aminobenzamide but not by DPPD. tBHP-induced ATP depletion was prevented by DPPD, whereas it was not altered by 3-aminobenzamide. Effects of H(2)O(2) and tBHP on Na(+)-Pi uptake and ATP depletion were prevented by an iron chelator, deferoxamine, suggesting that the oxidants inhibit Na(+)-Pi uptake through an iron-dependent mechanism. The extent of DNA damage by tBHP was similar to that by H(2)O(2). These results indicate that the effect of H(2)O(2) on membrane transport function in OK cells is associated with PARP activation but not lipid peroxidation, whereas the effect of tBHP is associated with lipid peroxidation.

Phosphoinositides such as phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate promote cell survival and protect against apoptosis by activating Akt/PKB, which phosphorylates components of the apoptotic machinery. We now report that another phosphoinositide, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) is a direct inhibitor of initiator caspases 8 and 9, and their common effector caspase 3. PIP2 inhibited procaspase 9 processing in cell extracts and in a reconstituted procaspase 9/Apaf1 apoptosome system. It inhibited purified caspase 3 and 8 activity, at physiologically attainable PIP2 levels in mixed lipid vesicles. Caspase 3 binding to PIP2 was confirmed by cosedimentation with mixed lipid vesicles. Overexpression of phosphatidylinositol phosphate 5-kinase alpha (PIP5KIalpha), which synthesizes PIP2, suppressed apoptosis, whereas a kinase-deficient mutant did not. Protection by the wild-type PIP5KIalpha was accompanied by decreases in the generation of activated caspases and of caspase 3-cleaved PARP. Protection was not mediated through PIP3 or Akt activation. An anti-apoptotic role for PIP(2) is further substantiated by our finding that PIP5KIalpha was cleaved by caspase 3 during apoptosis, and cleavage inactivated PIP5KIalpha in vitro. Mutation of the P(4) position (D279A) of the PIP5KIalpha caspase 3 cleavage consensus prevented cleavage in vitro, and during apoptosis in vivo. Significantly, the caspase 3-resistant PIP5KIalpha mutant was more effective in suppressing apoptosis than the wild-type kinase. These results show that PIP2 is a direct regulator of apical and effector caspases in the death receptor and mitochondrial pathways, and that PIP5KIalpha inactivation contributes to the progression of apoptosis. This novel feedforward amplification mechanism for maintaining the balance between life and death of a cell works through phosphoinositide regulation of caspases and caspase regulation of phosphoinositide synthesis.

To examine the interaction of mammalian base excision repair (BER) enzymes with DNA intermediates formed during BER, we used a novel photoaffinity labeling probe and mouse embryonic fibroblast cellular extracts. The probe was formed in situ, using an end-labeled oligonucleotide containing a synthetic abasic site; this site was incised by apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease creating a nick with 3'-hydroxyl and 5'-reduced sugar phosphate groups at the margins, and then a dNMP carrying a photoreactive adduct was added to the 3'-hydroxyl group. With near-UV light (312 nm) exposure of the extract/probe mixture, six proteins were strongly labeled. Four of these include poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and the BER participants flap endonuclease-1, DNA polymerase beta, and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease. The amount of the probe cross-linked to PARP-1 was greater than that cross-linked to the other proteins. The specificity of PARP-1 labeling was examined using various competitor oligonucleotides and DNA probes with alternate structures. PARP-1 labeling was stronger with a DNA representing a BER intermediate than with a nick in double-stranded DNA. These results indicate that proteins interacting preferentially with a photoreactive BER intermediate can be selected from the crude cellular extract.

Ischemia-reperfusion induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, and ROS lead to cardiac dysfunction, in part, via the activation of the nuclear poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP, called also PARS and ADP-RT). ROS and peroxynitrite induce single-strand DNA break formation and PARP activation, resulting in NAD(+) and ATP depletion, which can lead to cell death. Although protection of cardiac muscle by PARP inhibitors can be explained by their attenuating effect on NAD(+) and ATP depletion, there are data indicating that PARP inhibitors also protect mitochondria from oxidant-induced injury. Studying cardiac energy metabolism in Langendorff heart perfusion system by (31)P NMR, we found that PARP inhibitors (3-aminobenzamide, nicotinamide, BGP-15, and 4-hydroxyquinazoline) improved the recovery of high-energy phosphates (ATP, creatine phosphate) and accelerated the reutilization of inorganic phosphate formed during the ischemic period, showing that PARP inhibitors facilitate the faster and more complete recovery of the energy production. Furthermore, PARP inhibitors significantly decrease the ischemia-reperfusion-induced increase of lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, single-strand DNA breaks, and the inactivation of respiratory complexes, which indicate a decreased mitochondrial ROS production in the reperfusion period. Surprisingly, PARP inhibitors, but not the chemically similar 3-aminobenzoic acid, prevented the H(2)O(2)-induced inactivation of cytochrome oxidase in isolated heart mitochondria, suggesting the presence of an additional mitochondrial target for PARP inhibitors. Therefore, PARP inhibitors, in addition to their important primary effect of decreasing the activity of nuclear PARP and decreasing NAD(+) and ATP consumption, reduce ischemia-reperfusion-induced endogenous ROS production and protect the respiratory complexes from ROS induced inactivation, providing an additional mechanism by which they can protect heart from oxidative damages.

The molecular interactions between PARP I, cdc2-kinase, PKC and histone H1 were determined with the aid of the common phosphate acceptor function of histone H1 to both kinases. PKC phosphorylates both histone H1 and PARP I and PARP I augments the acceptor function of histone H1. When both acceptors (PARP I and histone H1) are present an apparent distributive phosphorylation of both acceptors takes place. In contrast, cdc2-kinase only phosphorylates histone H1, and the activation of this reaction by PARP I does not involve PARP I-cdc2-kinase binding only PARP I-histone H1 association. Since the phosphorylation of histone H1 by PKC is a model reaction with no apparent physiologic consequences, the PARP I activated phosphorylation of histone H1 by cdc2-kinase, by contrast, reflects a physiologically meaningful regulation of the linker histone by a cyclin dependent kinase (cdc2-kinase). The increased phosphorylation of histone H1 by cdc2-kinase following PARP I-histone H1 binding results in the appearance of new phosphorylated histone H1 polypeptides as measured by proteolytic digestion and re-electrophoresis of cdc2-kinase phosphorylated polypeptides, indicating a probable conformational change in histone H1, following PARP I binding. The cell biologic significance of this reaction in PARP I ligand-induced enzyme induction is briefly analysed.
