An arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase, named ADP-ribosyltransferase A, was partially purified from human platelets using polyarginine as an ADP-ribose acceptor. When human platelet membranes were incubated with the transferase A in the presence of NAD+, Gs, a stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding protein of the adenylate cyclase was specifically mono-ADP-ribosylated. ADP-ribose transfer to Gs by this enzyme was suppressed when membranes were pre-ADP-ribosylated by cholera toxin. Incubation of membranes with the transferase A resulted in activation of the adenylate cyclase system. This stimulatory effect of the transferase A on the adenylate cyclase system was inhibited by the presence of polyarginine. These results indicate a role of ADP-ribosyltransferase A in regulation of the adenylate cyclase system via endogenous mono-ADP-ribosylation of Gs.

We investigated the endogenous GTP-dependent ADP-ribosylation of the alpha-subunit of the stimulatory guanyl-nucleotide-binding protein (Gs alpha) concomitant with an increase of basal adenylyl cyclase activity in chicken spleen cell membranes. When these membranes were incubated with [adenylate-32P]NAD, there was significant incorporation of [32P]ADP-ribose into a 45-kDa acceptor protein in the membranes. This reaction was inhibited when 20 mM arginine was present during the incubation. When the membranes were incubated with unlabelled NAD, subsequent ADP ribosylation by cholera toxin was diminished significantly. Thus, chicken spleen cell membranes have the potential to endogenously ADP-ribosylate the arginine residue of Gs alpha. The endogenous ADP-ribosylation Gs alpha was enhanced by the addition of 0.1 mM GTP or 0.1 mM guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]), but not 0.1 mM GDP, 0.1 mM ATP or 0.1 mM ADP. The endogenous GTP-dependent ADP-ribosylation of Gs alpha stimulated basal adenylyl cyclase activity. Furthermore, NAD-induced stimulation of basal adenylyl cyclase activity was suppressed, when the membranes were incubated with NAD in the presence of novobiocin, an inhibitor of arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase. These data represent the first demonstration that a eukaryotic cell membrane contains an ADP-ribosyltransferase which can catalyze the endogenous GTP-dependent ADP-ribosylation of the arginine residue of Gs alpha and that this modification enhances basal adenylyl cyclase activity in the membrane. In light of this evidence, the possible control of basal adenylyl cyclase activity via endogenous GTP-dependent ADP-ribosylation in eukaryotic cells warrants further attention.

Reversible ADP-ribosylation of dinitrogenase reductase forms the basis of posttranslational regulation of nitrogenase activity in Rhodospirillum rubrum. This report describes the physiological effects of mutations in the genes encoding the enzymes that add and remove the ADP-ribosyl moiety. Mutants lacking a functional draT gene had no dinitrogenase reductase ADP-ribosyltransferase (DRAT, the draT gene product) activity in vitro and were incapable of modifying dinitrogenase reductase with ADP-ribose in vivo. Mutants lacking a functional draG gene had no dinitrogenase reductase-activating glycohydrolase (DRAG, the draG gene product) activity in vitro and were unable to remove ADP-ribose from the modified dinitrogenase reductase in vivo. Strains containing polar mutations in draT had no detectable DRAG activity in vitro, suggesting likely cotranscription of draT and draG. In strains containing draT and lacking a functional draG, dinitrogenase reductase accumulated in the active form under derepressing conditions but was rapidly ADP-ribosylated in response to conditions that cause inactivation. Detection of DRAT in these cells in vitro demonstrated that DRAT is itself subject to posttranslational regulation in vivo. Mutants affected in an open reading frame immediately downstream of draTG showed regulation of dinitrogenase reductase by ADP-ribosylation, although differences in the rates of ADP-ribosylation were apparent.

Glutamine synthetase from Escherichia coli was inactivated by chemical modification with arginine-specific reagents (Colanduoni, J. A., and Villafranca, J. J. (1985) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 126, 412-418). E. coli glutamine synthetase was also a substrate for an erythrocyte NAD:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase. Transfer of one ADP-ribosyl group/subunit of glutamine synthetase caused loss of both biosynthetic and gamma-glutamyltransferase activity. The ADP-ribose moiety was enzymatically removed by an erythrocyte ADP-ribosylarginine hydrolase, resulting in return of function. The site of ADP-ribosylation was arginine 172, determined by isolation of the ADP-ribosylated tryptic peptide. Arginine 172 lies in a central loop that extends into the core formed by the 12 subunits of the native enzyme. The central loop is important in anchoring subunits together to yield the spatial orientation required for catalytic activity. ADP-ribosylation may thus inactivate glutamine synthetase by disrupting the normal subunit alignment. Enzyme-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation may provide a simple, specific technique to probe the role of arginine residues in the structure and function of proteins.

Purified recombinant S1 subunit of pertussis toxin (rS1) possessed similar NAD glycohydrolase and ADP-ribosyltransferase activities as S1 subunit purified from pertussis toxin. Purified rS1 and C180 peptide, a deletion peptide which contains amino acids 1-180 of rS1, had Km values for NAD of 24 and 13 microM and kcat values of 22 and 24 h-1, respectively, in the NAD glycohydrolase reaction. In contrast, under linear velocity conditions, the C180 peptide possessed less than 1% of the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of rS1 using transducin as target. Radiolabeled tryptic peptides of transducin that had been ADP-ribosylated by either rS1 or C180 peptide were identical which suggested that both rS1 and C180 peptide ADP-ribosylated the same amino acid within transducin. To extend the functional primary amino acid map of the S1 subunit, two carboxyl-terminal deletions were constructed. One deletion, C195, removed the 40 carboxyl-terminal amino acids and the other, C219, removed the 16 carboxyl-terminal amino acids of the S1 subunit. Both C195 and C219 migrated in reduced sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with apparent molecular masses of 22,000 and 27,500 Da, respectively. Relative to the C180 peptide C195 possessed 10-20-fold increase and C219 possessed 100-150-fold increase in ADP-ribosyltransferase activities. In addition, C219 appeared to have the same ADP-ribosyltransferase activity as rS1. These studies indicate that (i) rS1, purified from Escherichia coli, possesses biochemical properties similar to S1 subunit purified from pertussis toxin, (ii) amino acids 1-180 of the S1 subunit contain residues required for NAD binding, N-glycosidic cleavage, and transfer of ADP-ribose to transducin, and (iii) residues between 181 and 219 of the S1 subunit are required for efficient ADP-ribosyltransferase activity.

A novel enzymatic activity, the hydrolysis of linkages between mono(ADP-ribose) and cysteine residues in Gi prepared by eukaryotic ADP-ribosyltransferase C [(1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 5485-5489] was found in the cytosol of human erythrocytes. The mono(ADP-ribosyl) Gi hydrolase, tentatively named ADP-ribosyl protein hydrolase C was partially purified by sequential chromatographies on DEAE-cellulose and Blue Sepharose. This enzyme catalyzes the release of ADP-ribose from mono(ADP-ribosyl) Gi. Its activity was enhanced by Ca2+ and inhibited by ADP-ribose. The presence of this enzyme in eukaryotic cells suggests that endogenous mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of Gi is a reversible post-translational modification.

In bovine aortic smooth muscle, about 50% of total GTP-binding activity was present in the cytosol fraction. A major GTP-binding protein (G protein) with a Mr value of about 21,000 (21K G) in this fraction was purified to near homogeneity and characterized. 21K G bound maximally about 0.8 mol of [35S]guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate/mol of protein with a Kd value of about 20 nM. 21K G showed GTPase activity with a turnover number of about 0.007 min-1. 21K G was ADP-ribosylated by botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase and about 0.4 mol of ADP-ribose was maximally incorporated into 1 mol of 21K G. 21K G and the bovine brain rhoA gene product (rhoA p21) were eluted at the same retention time on C4 reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography and migrated at the same positions on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. These results indicate that the major G protein in bovine aortic smooth muscle cytosol is rhoA p21.

Membranes purified from cells of Streptomyces griseus strain 52-1 possess an ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. The enzyme transfers the ADP-ribose moiety of NAD to one major membrane protein of Mr 32,000 and 2-3 minor proteins of larger molecular weights. The effects of inhibitors on the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity proves that the reaction is enzymatic and suggests that the enzyme ADP-ribosylates the guanidine group of arginine. The kinetics of liberation of ADP-ribose during alkaline hydrolysis of the modified proteins is consistent with the arginine-ADP-ribose bond. This is the first report of ADP-ribosylation of proteins in a Gram-positive bacterium.

The macromolecular self-association of ADP-ribosyltransferase protein in solution was studied by several experimental techniques: quantitative gel filtration, electrophoretic analyses in non-denaturing gels, and cross-linking the enzyme protein with glutaraldehyde, dimethyl pimelimidate, dimethyl suberimidate, dimethyl 3,3'-dithiobisproprionimidate and tetranitromethane. The self-association of the polypeptide components obtained by plasmin digestion was also determined by using the above cross-linking agents. Monomers and cross-linked dimers of the enzyme protein, possessing enzymic activity, were separated in non-denaturing gels by electrophoresis. The basic polypeptide fragments, exhibiting molecular masses of 29 kDa and 36 kDa, self-associated, whereas the polypeptides with molecular masses of 56 kDa and 42 kDa associated only to a negligible extent, indicating that the peptide regions that also bind DNA and histones are probable sites of self-association in the intact enzyme molecule. Macromolecular association of the enzyme was indicated by a protein-concentration-dependent red-shift in protein fluorescence. The specific enzymic activity of the isolated ADP-ribosyltransferase depended on the concentration of the enzyme protein, and at 2.00 microM concentration the enzyme was self-inhibitory. Dilution of the enzyme protein to 30-40 nM resulted in a large increase in its specific activity. Further dilution to 1-3 nM coincided with a marked decrease of specific activity. Direct enzymic assays of electrophoretically separated monomers and cross-linked dimers demonstrated that the dimer appears to be the active molecular species that catalyses poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis. The NAD+ glycohydrolase activity of the enzyme was also dependent on protein concentration and was highest at 1-3 nM enzyme concentration, when polymerase activity was minimal, indicating that the monomeric enzyme behaved as a glycohydrolase, whereas poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of enzyme molecules was maximal when the enzyme tends to be self-associated to the dimeric form.

We have previously shown that there are multiple GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) with Mr values of about 20,000 in bovine brain membranes and identified one G protein with a Mr of 20,000 as the rho gene product. We have also shown that this rho gene product is ADP-ribosylated by an ADP-ribosyltransferase contaminated in botulinum toxin type C1. In the present studies, we have purified another G protein with a Mr of about 21,000 to near homogeneity from bovine brain membranes by several column chromatographies and identified it as the rhoA gene product. Further analysis of the amino acid sequence of the G protein, which we have purified and identified as the rho gene product previously, has revealed that this G protein is the rhoB gene product. The rhoA gene product binds maximally about 0.9 mol of [35S]guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio) triphosphate (GTP gamma S)/mol of protein with a K d value of about 20 nM. [35S]GTP gamma S-binding to the rhoA gene product is inhibited by pretreatment with N-ethylmaleimide. The rhoA gene product hydrolyzes GTP to liberate Pi with a turnover number of about 0.01 min-1. Moreover, the rhoA gene product is ADP-ribosylated by an ADP-ribosyltransferase contaminated in botulinum toxin type Cl. About 0.3 mol of ADP-ribose is maximally incorporated into 1 mol of the rhoA gene product. The ADP ribosylation of the rhoA gene product does not affect its GTP gamma S-binding or GTPase activity. These properties of the rhoA gene product are similar those of the rhoB gene product described previously. These results together with the earlier observations indicate that there are at least two rho gene products (rhoA, B) among three members of the rho gene family (rhoA, B, C) in bovine brain membranes and that both of them are ADP-ribosylated by an ADP-ribosyltransferase contaminated in botulinum toxin type C1.
