Cholera toxin catalyzed the ADP-ribosylation of the pituitary protein hormones thyrotropin (TSH), lutropin (LH), follitropin (FSH), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and corticotropin (ACTH)1-24, and ADP-ribosylation of the basic proteins histone subfraction H1 and protamine. Casein and phosvitin, acidic nuclear proteins, did not act as acceptors for toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation. The isolated TSH A and B subunits were tested for their ADP-ribose acceptor activity. The TSH A subunit showed fourfold greater ADP-ribose acceptor activity than the TSH B subunit. The ADP-ribose acceptor protein protamine was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis following incubation with cholera toxin under ADP-ribosylating conditions. [3H]ADP-ribose incorporated into protein from [3H]NAD migrated with the acceptor protein protamine. In the absence of added acceptor protein, the [3H]ADP-ribose incorporated into protein migrated with the A1 fragment of cholera toxin. Cholera toxin A and B subunits were isolated and tested for their ability to catalyze the transfer of ADP-ribose to protamine. The cholera toxin A subunit showed 50-fold greater ADP-ribosyltransferase activity than the B subunit. Our data indicate that a variety of adenohypophyseal hormones and regulatory proteins act as acceptors for toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation. These studies may help in understanding the role of endogenous ADP-ribosyltransferases and the physiological effects of this modification of protein.

When isolated myelin membranes were ADP-ribosylated by [32P]NAD+ either in the absence of toxin (by the membrane ADP-ribosyltransferase) or in the presence of cholera toxin, the same proteins were ADP-ribosylated in both cases and myelin basic protein (MBP) was the major radioactive product. Therefore, cholera toxin was considered a good model for ADP-ribosylation of myelin proteins. Although purified human MBP migrates as a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with a molecular mass of 20 kDa, the microheterogeneity that is masked under these conditions can be clearly demonstrated on alkaline-urea gels at pH 10.6. At this pH, MBP is resolved into several components that differ one from the other by a single charge (charge isomers). These charge isomers can be resolved on CM52 columns at pH 10.6, and several can be ADP-ribosylated. Component 1 (C-1), the most cationic charge isomer, incorporated 1.79 mol of ADP-ribose/mol of protein. C-2 and C-3 (which differ from C-1 by the loss of one and two positive charges, respectively) incorporated slightly less at 1.67 and 1.63 mol of ADP-ribose/mol of protein, respectively, whereas C-8, the least cationic, incorporated less than 0.11 mol/mol of protein. In the presence of neutral hydroxylamine, the ADP-ribosyl bond was shown to have a half-life of about 80 min, suggesting an N-glycosidic linkage between ADP-ribose and an arginyl residue of the protein.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The structural gene for the 49-kDa form of exoenzyme S (exoS) isolated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa 388 was expressed in both Escherichia coli and P. aeruginosa PA103. Expression of exoS in E. coli under the transcriptional regulation of the T7 promoter yielded a soluble cytosolic protein with an apparent molecular mass of 49 kDa, as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Expression of exoS in P. aeruginosa PA103 under the transcriptional regulation of the 0.9 kbp of Pseudomonas chromosomal DNA flanking the 5' end of exoS yielded a nitrilotriacetic acid-inducible extracellular protein with an apparent molecular mass of 49 kDa. Recombinant ExoS (rExoS) reacted with the anti-49-kDa form of exoenzyme S immunoglobulin G, existed as an aggregate as determined by gel filtration chromatography, and ADP-ribosylated soybean trypsin inhibitor at a specific activity that was similar (within twofold) to that of native exoenzyme S. Allelic exchange of exoS with a tetracycline gene cartridge yielded a strain of P. aeruginosa 388 that did not express detectable amounts of either ExoS in an immunoblot analysis using the anti-49-kDa form of exoenzyme S immunoglobulin G or ADP-ribosyltransferase activity under standard enzyme assay conditions. Expression of catalytically active rExoS in E. coli demonstrated that exoS was necessary and sufficient for the factor-activating exoenzyme S-dependent ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of exoenzyme S. Expression of nitrilotriacetic acid-inducible rExoS in P. aeruginosa PA103 demonstrated that the 0.9 kbp of Pseudomonas chromosomal DNA flanking the 5' end of exoS encoded a functional exoenzyme S promoter. Expression analysis and allelic exchange experiments suggest that the 49- and 53-kDa forms of exoenzyme S are encoded by separate genes.

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation metabolism, a post-translational modification, involves two nuclear enzymes. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) are responsible for the anabolism and catabolism of poly(ADP-ribose) polymer, respectively. PARG, despite being less abundant than PARP, is a crucial determinant of polymer metabolism which is known to be implicated in DNA repair and other cellular processes. Here, we describe modifications to improve the purification of PARG from calf thymus, in terms of both quantity and quality, which would allow biochemical and immunological studies. We also developed a zymogram to identify functional polypeptides exhibiting PARG activity. Purified and crude enzyme preparations from calf thymus were electrophoresed in two-dimensional gels. Samples were resolved on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis containing the polymer substrate in the form of automodified PARP after a nonequilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis. After renaturation of PARG in the gel, four isoforms of activity were clearly detected in the purified enzyme preparation. Even in the crude extract of the tissue, we could observe the major isoform of PARG. This technique will permit a better understanding of poly(ADP-ribose) catabolism and better characterization of PARG isoforms.

An arginine-specific mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase is expressed on the surface of differentiated mouse skeletal muscle cells and is anchored in the membrane via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol tail. Following incubation of intact cells with [adenylate-32P]NAD and analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), a 97-kDa [32P]ADP-ribosylated protein was observed under reducing conditions and a 140-kDa complex under nonreducing conditions. The ADP-ribosylated protein was purified on a laminin affinity column. Based on its N-terminal sequence (FNLDVM-GAIRKEGEPGSLFGF) and a partial internal sequence (GLMRSEELSFVAGAP), the modified protein was identified as integrin alpha 7. Following partial trypsin digestion, a 39-kDa/79-kDa radiolabeled fragment was produced (reduced/nonreduced SDS-PAGE), narrowing the ADP-ribosylation site to a 39-kDa segment in the extracellular domain of integrin alpha 7. Labeling under optimal conditions was at least 0.4 mol of ADP-ribose/mol of integrin alpha 7. Selective expression of both ADP-ribosyltransferase and integrin alpha 7 in cardiac and skeletal muscle, a similar developmental appearance, and the apparently specific ADP-ribosylation, are consistent with a regulatory association between these proteins. ADP-ribosylation may modulate integrin receptor signaling and could play a significant role in the regulation of muscle cell function by the extracellular matrix.

Auto-ADP-ribosylation of arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase purified from chicken peripheral heterophils was investigated. When the purified ADP-ribosyltransferase was analyzed with sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by Coomassie brilliant blue staining, two protein bands corresponding to the molecular masses of 27.5 and 28.0 kDa were detected. Both proteins were auto-ADP-ribosylated when they were examined by zymographic in situ gel assay without exogenous acceptor for ADP-ribose transfer. The automodification was inhibited by the acceptor, arginine or agmatine, and an inhibitor of arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase, novobiocin. The ADP-ribose-transferase linkage was labile in 0.5 M hydroxylamine (pH 7.5). The automodified transferase was not chased by a large excess of nonradioactive NAD and did not catalyze transfer of its ADP-ribose to p33, an endogenous substrate protein for the transferase in heterophils, therefore, that automodified transferase cannot serve as an intermediate in ADP-ribosylation of other proteins. Auto-ADP-ribosylated transferase showed higher activity than did the unmodified transferase in catalyzing ADP-ribosylation of the basic acceptor such as poly(L-arginine) and p33 while to ADP-ribosylate the acidic proteins such as casein, the modified transferase was less active. Automodification of the transferase decreased polyanion-induced ADP-ribosylation of p33. Automodification of arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase apparently alters the specificity of its own substrate.

Exoenzyme S was purified > 1,500-fold from the culture supernatant fluid of Pseudomonas aeruginosa 388 at high yield without utilization of solvents or detergents. Two proteins, with apparent molecular sizes of 53 and 49 kDa, cofractionated with exoenzyme S activity. Rabbit anti-49-kDa-protein immunoglobulin G was prepared by using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis-purified 49-kDa protein as immunogen. Anti-49-kDa-protein IgG inhibited the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of purified exoenzyme S in a dose-dependent manner, which indicated a role for the 49-kDa protein in the ADP-ribosylation reaction. Analysis by ultrafiltration showed that exoenzyme S activity and the 53- and 49-kDa proteins cofractionated and that exoenzyme S was apparently > 300 kDa in size. Urea (8 M) and 1.0% Triton X-100 reversibly decreased the apparent molecular sizes of exoenzyme S activity and the 53- and 49-kDa proteins to between 30 and 100 kDa.

Vibrio cholerae O1, No. 31, a strain isolated from a patient with mild diarrhea, produced mainly the unnicked cholera toxin. The amount of toxin that had accumulated in the cells was approximately 200 times lower than that secreted into the culture medium. When the unnicked toxin was purified by three successive column chromatographies and then extracted from the polyacrylamide gel, the unnicked toxin showed two bands corresponding to the A and B subunits by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and the A1 fragment was detected by trypsinization. Biological and enzymatic activities of the purified toxin with trypsinization were identical to those of cholera toxin from V. cholerae 569B as seen in the rabbit skin permeability test and the NAD:agmatine ADP-ribosyltransferase assay. DNA sequences of the A and B subunits were identical to those of the A- and B-subunit genes from the El Tor 2125 and classical 0395 strains, respectively. These data suggest that the wild V. cholerae strain, No. 31, produces a toxin identical to toxins previously reported in the literature and secretes it without accumulation in the cell, as is the case with other strains. However, strain No. 31's ability to nick the toxin is diminished compared with such abilities of other strains.

An arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase activity was detected in chicken spleen membrane fraction using a capillary electrophoresis assay and the activity was extracted by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C but not by 1 M NaCl or 1% Triton X-100. The enzyme protein was purified from chicken spleen membrane fraction to apparent homogeneity with a six-step method containing phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C treatment, ammonium sulfate precipitation and conventional column chromatographies. Apparent molecular mass of the purified enzyme estimated with SDS/PAGE was 44 kDa. N-glycanase treatment of the enzyme reduced the apparent molecular size on SDS/PAGE. The enzyme was recognized by anti-cross reacting determinant antibodies. Partial amino acid sequence of the purified enzyme protein showed high homologies with primary structures of previously reported chicken arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferases.

Since it has been reported that a single amino acid mutation of Gly-->Arg in the CAGYC region of the beta chain of human thyroid stimulating hormone (hTSH) was responsible for congenital isolated TSH deficiency, and that the same amino acid substitution in this site of hTSH and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) introduced by site-directed mutagenesis resulted in loss of activity, the authors studied the role of glutamic acid at position 11 (Glu-11) from the N-terminus of the B subunit of cholera toxin (CT), which corresponds to the glycine in the CAGYC region of the beta chain of hTSH and hCG. A mutant CT constructed by site-directed mutagenesis in which Glu-11 was replaced by Arg (CT-E11R) did not induce either morphological changes or accumulation of cytosolic cyclic AMP in Chinese hamster ovary cells, although it formed the holotoxin AB5, retained the ability to bind to GM1-ganglioside and showed ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. Weak assembly of the B subunits in mutant CT-E11R demonstrated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under non-heating conditions might explain the loss of biological activity.
