NAD is hydrolyzed during incubation with isolated renal brush border membranes (BBM). The specific enzymatic mechanisms have not been identified apart from the activity of ADP-ribosyltransferase, which accounts for a very small proportion of the total hydrolysis. In the present study, an NAD-glycohydrolase (NGH) was identified in the renal BBM using the cyanide-addition assay to monitor hydrolysis of NAD at the nicotinamide-ribose bond. The production of nicotinamide and ADP-ribose, the expected reaction products, was determined by thin-layer chromatography. The NGH was enriched ninefold in the BBM fraction and accounted for 36% of the total rate of NAD hydrolysis by BBM enzymes at pH 7.4. Assay of NGH in sealed BBM vesicles subjected to osmotic shock indicated that about 23% of the NGH is exposed on the cytoplasmic surface of the BBM. The enzyme was inhibited by nicotinamide in vitro and also when the nicotinamide was administered in vivo, suggesting, indirectly, that the enzyme may play a role in mediating the effects of nicotinamide on BBM phosphate transport.

We reported previously that the ADP-ribosyltransferase in C1 and D botulinum toxins specifically catalyzes ADP-ribosylation of an Mr 22,000 guanine nucleotide-binding protein and that this substrate named Gb (b = botulinum) has an amino acid sequence homologous to that deduced from the rho gene (Narumiya, S., Sekine, A., and Fujiwara, M. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 17255-17257). In this study we have determined the amino acid sequence at its ADP-ribosylation site. Purified substrate was [32P]ADP-ribosylated by C1 botulinum toxin and digested with trypsin. The radioactive peptides were isolated by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography and digested further either with protease V8, with proteases V8 and thermolysin, or with proline endopeptidase and thermolysin. By this procedure three radioactive peptides were obtained, and their amino acid sequences were X-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-Ile-Glu, X-Tyr, and Val-Phe-Glu-X-Tyr in which no amino acid peak was found in X. During the sequencing the radioactivity quantitatively adhered to the sequencing filter and was not eluted with either of the identified amino acid residues. Analysis of the protein without the ADP-ribosylation yielded the corresponding sequence as Thr-Val-Phe-Glu-Asn-Tyr which corresponds to Thr37-Tyr42 in the amino acid sequence deduced from the Aplysia rho gene. These results strongly suggest that the asparagine residue is the ADP-ribosylation site in the rho gene product. This ADP-ribose protein bond was stable in 0.5 M hydroxylamine at pH 7.5 at 37 degrees C for at least 5 h. The ADP-ribosylation of this protein affected neither its GTPase- nor its [35S]guanosine 5'-O-thiotriphosphate-binding activity.

The nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (EC 2.4.2.30) participates in DNA excision repair by post-translational selfmodification ("automodification") and the modification of other chromatin proteins ("heteromodification") with ADP-ribose polymers. We have studied the molecular mechanism of these reactions in a reconstituted in vitro system. After activation by DNA, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase produces polymers with a distinct size pattern. These polymers are attached to a small subfraction of enzyme molecules. As the reaction progresses, more enzyme molecules are recruited for modification with an identical polymer size pattern. Likewise, the auto- and heteromodification reaction in nucleosomal core particles involves the consecutive addition of a highly conserved polymer size pattern to the acceptor proteins. Thus, a highly conserved polymer size pattern may constitute the molecular signal priming chromatin proteins for a role in DNA excision repair in vivo. The priming reaction is processive.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A (ETA) is an ADP-ribosyltransferase which inactivates protein synthesis by covalently attaching the ADP-ribose portion of NAD+ onto eucaryotic elongation factor 2 (EF-2). A direct biochemical comparison has been made between ETA and a nonenzymatically active mutant toxin (CRM 66) using highly purified preparations of each protein. The loss of ADP-ribosyltransferase activity and subsequent cytotoxicity have been correlated with the presence of a tyrosine residue in place of a histidine at position 426 in CRM 66. In the native conformation, CRM 66 demonstrated a limited ability (by a factor or at least 100,000) to modify EF-2 covalently and lacked in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity, yet CRM 66 appeared to be normal with respect to NAD+ binding. Upon activation with urea and dithiothreitol, CRM 66 lost ADP-ribosyltransferase activity entirely yet CRM 66 retained the ability to bind NAD+. Replacement of Tyr-426 with histidine in CRM 66 completely restored cytotoxicity and ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. These results support previous findings from this laboratory (Wozniak, D. J., Hsu, L.-Y., and Galloway, D. R. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 85, 8880-8884) which suggest that the His-426 residue of ETA is not involved in NAD+ binding but appears to be associated with the interaction between ETA and EF-2.

ADP-ribosylation of proteins occurs in many eukaryotes, and it is also the mechanism of action of a growing number of important bacterial toxins. To date, however, there is only one well-characterized ADP-ribosylation system where the ADP-ribosyltransferase and the substrate protein are both bacterial in origin, namely within the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum. The present paper demonstrates the endogenous ADP-ribosylation of two proteins of Mr 32,000 and 20,000 within Pseudomonas maltophilia, a Gram-negative aerobe. The proteins have been partially purified: two apparently separate species of modified protein can be separated by ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration (V0 and Mr 158,000 - Vi). The substrate protein(s) either has, or is co-eluted with, NAD+ glycohydrolase activity. The modification is mono-ADP-ribosyl in nature. The linkage between the acceptor amino acid and the ADP-ribose moiety is alkali-labile and stable to hydroxylamine, possibly indicating an S-glycosidic bond. The activity appears to be a true ADP-ribosylation reaction and not an NAD+ glycohydrolase activity followed by non-enzymic addition of ADP-ribose to protein. The results presented here indicate that ADP-ribosylation may have a wider significance within prokaryotic systems than previously thought.

Arginine-specific mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation and de-ADP-ribosylation reactions of endogenous acceptor proteins were examined using human neutrophils. The cells contained arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase, acceptor proteins and hydrolase catalyzing the release of ADP-ribose from the ADP-ribose/acceptor conjugate. One major acceptor protein with an apparent molecular mass of 27 kDa was detected in the neutrophils. The ADP-ribosylation of this protein was greatly enhanced when double-stranded DNA was added. The release of ADP-ribose from the ADP-ribosyl core-histones was suppressed. These findings provide clues as to the physiological function of neutrophil ADP-ribosyltransferase.

Human nuclear NAD+: protein ADP-ribosyltransferase(polymerizing) [pADPRT; poly(ADP-ribose)poly-merase; EC 2.4.2.30] is a DNA-dependent protein-modifying enzyme composed of several domains important for DNA binding, automodification, and NAD binding. We report that the human pADPRT gene is 43 kb in length and is split into 23 exons. All the intron-exon boundaries correspond to a canonical splice consensus sequence. Each of the four metal coordinating sites putatively forming the two zinc fingers of the DNA-binding domain is encoded separately. The automodification domain and the NAD-binding domain are coded for by 4 and 12 exons, respectively.

The function of the cloned draT gene of Rhodospirillum rubrum was studied by placing it under the control of the tac promoter in the vector, pKK223-3. After induction with isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside, dinitrogenase reductase ADP-ribosyltransferase (DRAT) activity was detected in crude extracts of the heterologous hosts Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. In addition, the expression of draT produced a Nif- phenotype in the otherwise wild-type K. pneumoniae strains, the result of the ADP-ribosylation of accumulated dinitrogenase reductase (DR). DR from a nifF- background was also susceptible to ADP-ribosylation, indicating that the oxidized form of DR will serve as a substrate for DRAT in vivo. A mutation that changes the Arg-101 residue of DR, the ADP-ribose attaching site, eliminates the ADP-ribosylation of DR in vivo, confirming the necessity of this residue for modification.

Clostridium spiroforme iotalike toxin produced time- and concentration-dependent incorporation of ADP-ribose into homo-poly-L-arginine. Polyasparagine, polyglutamic acid, polylysine, and agmatine were poor substrates. Enzyme activity was associated with the light-chain polypeptide of the toxin. The heavy chain did not possess ADP-ribosyltransferase activity, nor did it enhance or inhibit activity of the light chain. In broken-cell assays, the toxin acted mainly on G-actin, rather than F-actin. A single ADP-ribose group was transferred to each substrate molecule (G-actin). The enzyme was heat sensitive, had a pH optimum in the range of 7 to 8, was inhibited by high concentrations of nicotinamide, and was reversibly denatured by urea and guanidine. Physiological levels of nucleotides (AMP, ADP, ATP, and ADP-ribose) and cations (Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+) were not very active as enzyme inhibitors. The toxin was structurally and functionally similar to Clostridium botulinum type C2 toxin and Clostridium perfringens iota toxin. When combined with previous findings, the data suggest that a new class of mono(ADP-ribosyl)ating toxins has been found and that these agents belong to a related and possibly homologous series of binary toxins.

The cell strain 46BR, derived from an immunodeficient individual, is hypersensitive to the lethal effects of DNA-damaging agents, and of 3-aminobenzamide (3AB), the latter being an inhibitor of the enzyme ADP-ribosyltransferase (ADPRT). This hypersensitivity is not found with the noninhibitory analogue, 3-aminobenzoate. The NAD content of 46BR cells is similar to that of fibroblasts from normal human donors, as is the decrease in NAD content following treatment with dimethylsulphate. Both the activity of ADP-ribosyltransferase and its inhibition by 3AB in permeabilized cells are similar in 46BR and in normal cell strains. High concentrations of 3AB interfere with purine metabolism in cultured cells. Again this effect is similar in 46BR and normal cells. Thus there is no apparent anomaly either in the activity of ADPRT or in the gross effects of 3AB in 46BR. The sensitivity to 3AB may be caused by a defect in a specific acceptor for the ADP-ribose synthesized by ADPRT, or in some as yet undiscovered action of the inhibitor.
