A cellular ADP-ribosyltransferase, specific for elongation factor 2 (EF-2), is found in extracts from rat liver. Co-migrating with EF-2 throughout purification, this activity is, moreover, located in the protein bands corresponding to EF-2 after native or sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The observed activity is thus implicated to be an inherent property of EF-2. Preincubation of EF-2 with GuoPPCH2Pox inhibits endogenous, but not diphtheria toxin catalyzed ADP-ribosylation.

The endogenous poly(ADP-ribosyl)--nonhistone protein conjugates were isolated from dimethyl-sulfate-treated rat hepatoma AH 7974 cells using aminophenylboronic-acid--agarose chromatography. Seven major components could be discerned on dodecyl sulfate gels (molecular mass 43, 60, 66, 86, 100, 110 and 170 kDa) while control cells indicated only slight staining at above 200 kDa. The most abundant conjugate formed in response to alkylation damage was further purified using preparative gel electrophoresis and identified on the basis of its intrinsic enzymic activity as automodified poly(APD-ribose) synthase. In addition, topoisomerase I activity was found associated with a 60-kDa peptide. ADP-ribosylated endonuclease and actin were not detect-able. The purified conjugate fraction contained maximally 8.8 nmol/mg ADP-ribose and 7.9 nmol/mg oligo(ADP-ribose) with a mean chain length of 2.3 residues. The modifying (ADP-ribosyl)n groups were attached to its acceptors by a hydroxylamine-insensitive bond and had practically no effect on the DNA affinity of either poly(ADP-ribose) synthase or topoisomerase I.

The exotoxin A gene from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAK was expressed in Escherichia coli from recombinant plasmids when transcription was initiated from a promoter in the cloning vector. The exotoxin A polypeptide synthesized was found to have an electrophoretic mobility in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels of 66,000 daltons, identical in size to the mature exotoxin A made by P. aeruginosa. Analysis of the location of exotoxin A in various bacterial compartments by immunoblotting revealed that exotoxin A was exported by E. coli into its periplasmic space. Several functional assays, including analyses of disulfide bond formation, potentiation of ADP-ribosyltransferase activity, and HeLa cell cytotoxicity, were used to establish that the conformation of exotoxin A isolated from the E. coli periplasmic space is identical to that of exotoxin exported by P. aeruginosa to its extracellular space. Previous studies with recombinant plasmids expressing exotoxin A from P. aeruginosa PA103 (G. D. Gray, D. Smith, J. Baldridge, R. Markins, M. Vasil, E. Chen, and M. Heyneker, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81:2645-2649, 1984) showed a complete lack of processing and export of pre-exotoxin A in E. coli, differing from results reported here. These discrepancies may be explained by observed differences in the sequence of signal peptides encoded by the exotoxin A genes of PAK and PA103 strains of P. aeruginosa.

A novel ADP-ribosyltransferase C3 was purified to homogeneity from filtrates of certain strains of Clostridium botulinum type C by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography and heat treatment. The molecular mass of botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase C3 was found to be 25 kDa. In the presence of [32P]NAD but not with [carbonyl-14C]NAD, C3 labelled 21-24-kDa protein(s) in membranes of human platelets and other tissues. The Km value of the ADP-ribosylation reaction for NAD was about 2 microM. Labelling of the 21-24-kDa protein(s) by C3 was largely reduced by addition of nicotinamide. Snake venom phosphodiesterase cleaved the ADP-ribose attached to the 21-24-kDa protein(s) by C3 and released 5'AMP. C3 catalyzed hydrolysis of [carbonyl-14C]NAD and released [carbonyl-14C]nicotinamide. ADP-ribosylation of 21-24-kDa platelet membrane protein(s) was biphasically regulated by Mg2+, Mn2+ and Ca2+. In the absence of free divalent cations GTP, GTP[gamma S] and GDP but not GDP[beta S], GMP, ATP or ATP[gamma S] increased labelling by C3. In the presence of Mg2+, GTP[gamma S] was inhibitory. Guanine nucleotides prevented heat inactivation of the substrate protein(s) with the rank order GTP[gamma S] = GTP = GDP greater than GDP[beta S] greater than GMP much greater than ATP = GMP = ATP[gamma S]. The data support the view that the novel ADP-ribosyltransferase C3 modifies eukaryotic 21-24-kDa GTP-binding protein(s).

An NAD:cysteine ADP-ribosyltransferase designated ADP-ribosyltransferase C was purified approximately 35,000-fold from human erythrocytes with an 11% yield. The purified ADP-ribosyltransferase C exhibited one predominant protein band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels with an estimated molecular weight (Mr) of 28,500. The Km values for NAD and cysteine methyl ester were determined to be 65 and 4,400 microM, respectively. By using human erythrocyte inside-out membrane vesicles, the transferase C was found to ADP-ribosylate the alpha subunit (Mr = 41,000) of Gi, which is a substrate for pertussis toxin. The ADP-ribosylation of Gi alpha catalyzed by ADP-ribosyltransferase C was inhibited by pre-ADP-ribosylation with pertussis toxin. The linkage of ADP-ribose-Gi alpha in the membranes formed by ADP-ribosyltransferase C was as stable to hydroxylamine as that formed by pertussis toxin. These data represent the first demonstration that eukaryotic cells contain an ADP-ribosyltransferase which can catalyze the ADP-ribosylation of a cysteine residue in Gi alpha.

The ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of polypeptide A1 of cholera toxin and that of Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) are primarily responsible for the toxic activities of these toxins. Since the amino acid sequences of the two A1 polypeptides are very similar, their functional mechanisms are considered to be the same. Arg-146 of polypeptide A1 is thought to be involved in the active site, because this amino acid of cholera toxin has been identified as the site of self-ADP-ribosylation. However, the exact role of Arg-146 and the significance of self-ADP-ribosylation in toxicity remain unclear. We substituted Arg-146 of polypeptide A1 of LT with Gly by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis and examined the biological property of the resultant mutant LT. The substitution changed the mobility of subunit A on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel but did not reduce the vascular permeability activity of LT. This result indicates that Arg-146 is not absolutely required for toxic activity and that LT can express its toxic activity without self-ADP-ribosylation at Arg-146.

The substrate for ADP-ribosyltransferase from Clostridium botulinum was purified from the cytosol of bovine adrenal gland. Purification procedures consisted of ammonium sulfate fractionation, chromatographies on columns of DEAE-Sepharose and phenyl-Sepharose, gel filtration on a TSK-gel G3000SW column, and Mono Q fast protein liquid chromatography. On DEAE-Sepharose chromatography, the substrate activity was eluted in two separate peaks, and electrophoretic analyses revealed that the substrates in the two peaks are of similar molecular weight but different isoelectric points. The major peak of the substrate was further purified. It was purified about 1,800-fold with a recovery of 2.2% by the above procedures. On sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the final preparation showed a single protein band at Mr 22,000. The purified protein served as a substrate for botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase and was maximally ADP-ribosylated to the extent of about 0.7 mol of ADP-ribose/mol of protein. A guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) binding activity was co-purified with the ADP-ribosylation substrate, and the purified protein maximally bound about 0.5 mol of GTP gamma S/mol. GTP gamma S binding was effectively competed by GTP and GDP but not by GMP, ATP, and ADP. Thus, the ADP-ribosylation substrate is a GTP-binding protein. This protein, designated Gb (b for botulinum), is widely distributed in various tissues. It was rich in brain, pituitary, and adrenal glands, and poor in heart, smooth, and skeletal muscles.

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.

ADP-ribosylation of arginine appears to be a reversible modification of proteins with NAD: arginine ADP-ribosyltransferases and ADP-ribosylarginine hydrolases catalyzing the opposing arms of the ADP-ribosylation cycle. ADP-ribosylarginine hydrolases have been purified extensively (greater than 90%) (150,000-250,000-fold) from the soluble fraction of turkey erythrocytes by DE-52, phenyl-Sepharose, hydroxylapatite, Ultrogel AcA 54, and Mono Q chromatography. Mobilities of the hydrolase on gel permeation columns and on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions are consistent with an active monomeric species of approximately 39 kDa. Insertion of an organomercurial agarose chromatographic step prior to Ultrogel AcA 54 resulted in the isolation of a hydrolase exhibiting approximately 35-fold greater sensitivity to dithiothreitol (Ka,sensitive = 41 +/- 16.7 microM, n = 4; Ka,resistant = 1.44 +/- 0.12 mM, n = 3). A similar dithiothreitol-sensitive hydrolase was generated by exposure of the purified resistant enzyme to HgCl2. At 30 degrees C, both thiol-sensitive (HS) and thiol-resistant (HR) hydrolases were relatively resistant to N-ethylmaleimide (NEM); incubation with dithiothreitol prior to NEM resulted in complete inactivation. Both HS and HR required Mg2+ and thiol for enzymatic activity. Mg2+ stabilized both HS and HR against thermal inactivation in the absence and presence of thiol. A purified NAD:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase, in the presence of NAD, inactivated both HS and HR; Mg2+ and to a greater extent Mg2+ plus dithiothreitol protected both HS and HR from NAD- and transferase-dependent inactivation. Thus, activation of the hydrolase enhanced its resistance to inactivation by transferase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Synthetic and natural amphiphiles, octyl glucoside, Nonidet P40, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), gangliosides GM1 and GD1a, interact with cholera toxin (CLT) and with its active region (promoter A). The formation of CLT-amphiphile complex leads to inhibition of ADP-ribosyltransferase activity, a characteristic of promoter A elicited after thiol-reagents treatment. In all cases the interaction produces the maximum inhibitory effect above the critical micellar concentration of amphiphiles, although monomers of SDS show inhibition activity as well. The gangliosides appear to be capable of altering bilayer organization of membrane, similar to synthetic detergents. When CLT-ganglioside complexes were incubated with cell culture medium containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) and ADP-ribosyltransferase activity was completely restored both in cholera toxin and in promoter A. Some protein of FCS, which is avid of gangliosides, seems to be responsible for reversibility of inhibition. The results indicate that the active site of promoter A may be located in a hydrophobic pocket of the toxin structure. Furthermore, CLT was bound to reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes (RSVEs), containing a small amount of GM1. The RSVEs are made of membranous vesicles, capable of binding and fusing with host cell membrane. The incubation for 1 1hr of RSVE bearing CLT with Friend's erythroleukemic cells produced the stimulation of adenylate cyclase. This stimulation appears to be due to the translocation of the active subunit of CLT in the inner half of plasma membrane.
