The fibroblast cell line L929 contains a constitutively expressed NO synthase (EC 1.14.29.-) activity, which can be increased about 10-fold by tumour-necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha). Activities of the constitutive and the inducible enzymes are tetrahydrobiopterin-independent and can be inhibited by L-NG-nitroarginine. Induction of NO synthase by TNF-alpha was prevented by inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, namely nicotinamide, 3-methoxybenzamide and 3-aminobenzamide. TNF-alpha did not lead to an increase in ADP-ribosyltransferase activity nor to a change in the pattern of ADP-ribosylated proteins. The inhibitors were only active during the first 4-5 h after exposure to TNF-alpha and they were found to suppress synthesis of protein, DNA and RNA. These data suggest that the inhibitors prevent induction of NO synthase by interference with RNA and protein synthesis. It is not yet known which reactions of these biosynthetic processes are affected by the inhibitors.

Mutants resistant to 3-aminobenzamide, a known inhibitor of ADP-ribosyltransferase, were obtained from Streptomyces griseus IFO 13189, a streptomycin-producing strain. One (strain no. 4), which had significantly reduced ADP-ribosyltransferase activity, was analysed in detail. Mutant 4 displayed a conditional phenotype with respect to cultivation temperature. At 30 degrees C, it exhibited severely reduced ability to produce aerial mycelium (on solid medium) and submerged spores and streptomycin (in liquid culture), but this ability was fully restored at 25 degrees C. The mutant produced A-factor normally, regardless of cultivation temperature, and exhibited normal ability to accumulate ppGpp intracellularly. SDS-PAGE analyses of cellular proteins labelled by [32P]NAD revealed that an ADP-ribosylated protein with a molecular size of 44 kDa, which appeared in sporulating cultures of the parent strain, was missing from the mutant grown at the non-permissive temperature (30 degrees C). Genetic analysis showed that the aba mutation conferring resistance to 3-aminobenzamide was tightly linked to the altered phenotype. Failure to ADP-ribosylate certain cellular protein(s), presumably due to the aba mutation, may be responsible for impaired differentiation in this mutant.

The poly ADP-ribosylation of proteins catalyzed by poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) is involved in a number of important cellular metabolic activities. We evaluated various analogs of deoxythymidine and deoxyuridine as inhibitors of PARP. Most of these compounds have antiviral and/or anticancer activities. The structural requirements for these nucleoside analogs to be inhibitors of PARP were determined. The compounds evaluated had various substitutions on the 2-, 4- and/or 5-position of the pyrimidine ring, as well as on the 2'-, 3'- and/or 5'-position of the pentose moiety. Inhibition of PARP was strongly dependent on the size of the alkyl or halogen substituent on the 5-position of the pyrimidine ring. Whereas the 5-position of the pyrimidine ring could be varied, alteration of the 2- or 4-position drastically decreased the inhibition of PARP. Kinetic analysis was performed with concentrations of 1-10 microM NAD+. The Ki values for many compounds were five to seven times lower than the Ki for 3-aminobenzamide, a previously described potent inhibitor of PARP. Compounds with combined substituents at both the 5-position of the pyrimidine ring and the 3'- or 5'-position of deoxyribose generally were potent inhibitors of PARP, as for example 3'-amino-2', 3'-dideoxy-(E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)uridine (Ki = 0.7 microM), or 5'-azido-2',5'-dideoxy-5-ethyluridine (Ki = 0.8 microM). The 5-halogenated analogs had Ki values of 18, 35, 110 and greater than 1000 microM for 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine, 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine, 5-chloro-2'-deoxyuridine, and 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine, respectively, and the 5-alkyl analogs had Ki values of 45, 2.2, 7, 16 and 180 microM for 5-methyl-2'-deoxyuridine, 5-ethyl-2'-deoxyuridine, 5-propyl-2'-deoxyuridine, 5-butyl-2'-deoxyuridine and 5-pentyl-2'-deoxyuridine, respectively. Two other compounds with substituents in the 5-position of the pyrimidine moiety also had potent activities: (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (Ki = 6 microM) and 5-trifluoromethyl-2'-deoxyuridine (Ki = 1.6 microM). Compounds substituted in the 2'-, 3'- and/or 5'-position of the deoxyribose moiety were investigated and 5'-azido-5'-deoxythymidine, 5'-amino-5'-deoxythymidine, 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine and 3'-deoxythymidine (d2T) and Ki values of 12, 16, 18 and 30 microM, respectively.

We have overproduced the full-length human poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells using a baculovirus expression vector system. Approx. 20 mg of purified protein from 5 x 10(8) Sf9 cells were obtained by a simple three-step purification procedure including 3-aminobenzamide affinity chromatography. The recombinant protein (rePARP), which migrates as a unique 116-kDa band on SDS-polyacrylamide gels, was identified as PARP by Western blotting using either polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies raised against the purified human and calf thymus enzymes. Furthermore, rePARP is a functional protein, as demonstrated by its ability to specifically bind Zn2+ and DNA, and to recognize single-strand breaks in DNA. The purified enzyme has the same affinity for NAD+ and turnover number as the human placental PARP. Thus, rePARP produced in insect cells is biologically active and suitable for functional analysis. The reproducibility of the overproduction and the simplicity of the purification protocol, as well as the yield of the produced protein, should greatly facilitate physicochemical and structural studies.

The role of ADP ribosylation of proteins in the physiological regulation of sporulation in Streptomyces griseus was studied. We report here that both the activity of NAD+: arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase (ADPRT) and the pattern of ADP-ribosylated proteins showed characteristic changes during the life cycle in S. griseus 2682. Analysis off ADP-ribosylated proteins revealed that in a nonsporulating mutant of the parental wild-type (wt) strain (Bld7 mutant), both the activity of ADPRT and the pattern of ADP-ribosylated proteins were different from those of the parental strain. Addition of 3-aminobenzamide (3AB), the most potent inhibitor of ADPRT, inhibited sporulation of S. griseus 2682 and the A-factor (AF)-induced sporulation of S. griseus Bld7, but in both cases the inhibitory effect of 3AB was strictly age-dependent. Using [alpha-32P]GTP, we have demonstrated the presence of GTP-binding proteins in purified cell membranes of S. griseus 2682 and S. griseus Bld7. The same GTP-binding proteins were observed in Bld7 and the wt. AF stimulated the basal GTPase activity of cell membranes of S. griseus 2682 in a concentration-dependent manner, suggesting that GTP-binding proteins might be involved in the AF-induced sporulation process.

3-Aminobenzamide (3AB) has been used widely to inhibit the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (EC 2.4.2.30) and study the involvement of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis in DNA repair and other cellular functions. 3AB (3 mM) potentiates the cytotoxicity of 6-mercaptopurine (MP) and azathioprine in CHO-K1 cells with dose enhancement factors at 10% survival of 30-fold. In synchronized cells, 3AB is required during G1 and early S phase to obtain potentiation of MP cytotoxicity. There is a small but significant depletion of cellular NAD in MP-treated cells. As demonstrated by flow cytometric analysis, 20-40 microM MP causes an accumulation of cells in early S phase of the cell cycle. 3AB (3 mM) has no effect on cell cycle distribution; however, in the presence of MP, a similar accumulation is seen by 2-5 microM MP. 3AB and MP per se have no effect on phosphoribosylpyrophosphate levels, but coincubation causes a 30-fold increase in phosphoribosylpyrophosphate levels, reaching a maximum by 1.5 microM MP and declining to basal levels by 10 microM MP. There was a good correlation between the 3AB dose-dependent increase in cell killing and rise in phosphoribosylpyrophosphate levels.

Stimulating bone marrow derived macrophages with LPS results in the induction of NO-synthase as measured by NO2- formation. Inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase, namely nicotinamide, 3-aminobenzamide and 3-methoxybenzamide, prevented NO2- formation in a dose dependent manner. Inhibition was most effective if the inhibitors were added at the same time as LPS. When added 10 h after exposure to LPS, a time at which expression of the enzyme had reached its maximum, no inhibition was observed. The inhibitors also blocked early events in activation such as protein and RNA-synthesis as well as DNA-synthesis. Thus prevention of NO2- formation may be related to inhibition of these events. Activation of macrophages by LPS was not accompanied by an increase but rather by a small decrease in ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. Whether this decrease plays a physiological role in activation needs further exploration.

Integral membrane-associated arginine-specific mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase was purified from rabbit skeletal muscle microsomes. The ADP-ribosyltransferase was solubilized from the 100,000 x g pellet with 0.3% sodium deoxycholate and purified to greater than or equal to 95% homogeneity by successive DE52, concanavalin A-agarose, 3-aminobenzamide-agarose, and size-exclusion high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) steps in the presence of detergents. Two molecular weight forms of the enzyme were isolated and partially characterized. The apparent Mr of the alpha-form of the enzyme purified to greater than or equal to 95% homogeneity was approximately 39,000 +/- 500 as estimated by silver-stained sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The Mr of the beta-form purified to greater than or equal to 80% homogeneity was 38,500 +/- 500. The rapid procedure resulted in a 200-fold purification for the alpha-form and a 645-fold purification for the beta-form, relative to the microsomal fraction. Positive identification of the enzyme was confirmed by utilizing a zymographic in situ gel assay and by HPLC assay of polyacrylamide gel slice incubations with an NAD and guanylhydrazone substrate. The specificity of the mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase zymographic assay was characterized by time course incubations, hydroxylamine sensitivity, 3-aminobenzamide inhibition, and histone dependence. The ADP-ribosyltransferase is inactivated by reducing agents.

The gene for human nuclear NAD+ ADP-ribosyltransferase [NAD+:poly(adenosine diphosphate D-ribose) ADP-D-ribosetransferase, EC 2.4.2.30; pADPRT] was localized to chromosome 1 at q41-q42 by in situ hybridization with a pADPRT-specific cDNA probe. Expression of a pADPRT cDNA under control of the lac promoter in Escherichia coli induces the synthesis of a group of related proteins that were immunoreactive with pADPRT antibody and that had catalytic properties very similar to those of the human enzyme. Purification of this enzymatic activity was performed essentially as described for the human enzyme. The Km, pH optimum, optimal reaction temperature, and inhibition by 3-aminobenzamide and 3-methoxybenzamide were found to be similar for the recombinant and the human enzymes. The purified recombinant enzyme consists of two major proteins of Mr 99,000 and Mr 89,000. Both proteins show pADPRT activity in activity gel analysis with [32P]NAD+ as substrate. Microsequencing of these two proteins isolated by denaturing gel electrophoresis and deletion mutagenesis of the pADPRT expression plasmid shows that the Mr 99,000 and Mr 89,000 proteins derive from initiation of translation at internal translational start signals located within the pADPRT cDNA.

Treatment of rat basophilic leukemia cell line (2H3) with interferon-alpha significantly increased intracellular histamine levels. On the other hand, the histidine content was decreased reciprocally by interferon in a dose-dependent manner. Concomitantly, the activity of histidine decarboxylase, the enzyme responsible for histamine synthesis, was augmented. The increase in histidine decarboxylase activity was partially abolished in co-incubation with inhibitors of ADP-ribosyltransferase, such as 3-aminobenzamide or nicotinamide. These results suggest the pivotal role of activation of histidine decarboxylase, presumably through ADP-ribosylation of the enzyme, in interferon-induced histamine synthesis.
