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.

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.

Pertussis toxin (PT), an oligomeric exotoxin of Bordetella pertussis containing five dissimilar subunits, is considered to be an essential immunogen in acellular and component pertussis vaccines against whooping cough. A rapid single-step procedure for isolating PT subunits was developed using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Recoveries of individual subunits were 75% (S1), 70% (S2), greater than 90% (S3), greater than 90% (S4), and 50% (S5), as judged by SDS-PAGE and amino acid analysis. Lyophilized subunits were solubilized in urea followed by step-wise dialysis to remove the urea. All subunits were inactive in histamine sensitization, lymphocytosis, and hemagglutination assays. However, purified S1 retained residual NAD-glycohydrolase and ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. A partially active holotoxin could be generated by mixing the five individual subunits. All subunits were immunogenic in rabbits and mice. Monospecific antisera raised in both animal species were able to neutralize the PT-mediated clustering of Chinese hamster ovary cells, but active immunization of mice with single subunits failed to protect them in the intracerebral challenge assay. These subunit preparations therefore retained neutralizing determinants, but did not contain protective epitopes.

In bovine aortic smooth muscle, GTP-binding activity was equally distributed in the membrane and cytosol fractions. The most abundant GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) in each fraction were purified to near homogeneity and characterized. The most abundant G protein in the membrane fraction had a Mr value of about 22,000 (m22K G) as estimated on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacryl-amide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). m22K G and the human platelet smg p21, a ras p21 like G protein having the same effector domain as ras p21s, were eluted at the same retention time on C4 reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Moreover, m22K G was specifically recognized by an anti-smg p21 polyclonal antibody. m22K G was phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase with a stoichiometry of one phosphate/molecule of protein. The most abundant G protein in the cytosol fraction had a Mr value of about 21,000 (c21K G) as estimated on SDS-PAGE. c21K G was ADP-ribosylated by botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase and about 0.4 mol of ADP-ribose was maximally incorporated into 1 mol of c21K G. c21K G and the bovine brain rhoA p21, another ras p21 like G protein, were eluted at the same retention time on C4 reversed-phase HPLC and migrated at the same position on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. These results indicate that the major G proteins in the membrane and cytosol fractions of bovine aortic smooth muscle are smg p21 and rhoA p21, respectively. Possible roles of these G proteins in vascular smooth muscle are discussed.

We have reported the purification and characterization of arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase from hen liver nuclei [Tanigawa, Y. et al. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 2022-2029] and the DNA-dependent mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of p33, an acceptor protein in the nuclei [Mishima, K. et al. (1989) Eur. J. Biochem. 179, 267-273]. In the present study, we obtained evidence that among various tissues and cells from chicken, polymorphonuclear cells, so-called heterophils, possess both the ADP-ribosyltransferase and p33 at high levels. Percoll density gradient centrifugation of the postnuclear fraction of the heterophils revealed the co-localization of ADP-ribosyltransferase with p33 in the granule fraction. The enzyme and p33 were purified approximately 219- and 3.77-fold, respectively, from postnuclear pellet fraction to apparent homogeneity. The properties of heterophil ADP-ribosyltransferase and p33 were compared with those of the liver enzyme and p33. The molecular mass of the heterophil enzyme was estimated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to be 27.5 kDa. The enzyme activity was stimulated by a sulfhydryl agent and inhibited by lysolecithin, NaCl, and inorganic phosphate. The mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of p33 was markedly enhanced by polyanion, such as DNA, RNA, or poly(L-glutamate). SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis after limited trypsin proteolysis of p33s, purified from chicken heterophils and liver, showed much the same pattern. Thus, it appears that ADP-ribosyltransferase and p33 present in heterophils are identical to those in the liver, respectively. p33 is considered to be an in situ substrate for ADP-ribosyltransferase, since it was specifically mono(ADP-ribosyl)ated in permeabilized heterophils.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Activation of adenylyl cyclase by cholera toxin A subunit (CT-A) results from the ADP-ribosylation of the stimulatory guanine nucleotide binding protein (GS alpha). This process requires GTP and an endogenous guanine nucleotide binding protein known as ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF). One membrane (mARF) and two soluble forms (sARF I and sARF II) of ARF have been purified from bovine brain. Because the conditions reported to enhance the binding of guanine nucleotides by ARF differ from those observed to promote optimal activity, we sought to characterize the determinants influencing the functional interaction of guanine nucleotides with ARF. High-affinity GTP binding by sARF II (apparent KD of approximately 70 nM) required Mg2+, DMPC, and sodium cholate. sARF II, in DMPC/cholate, also enhanced CT-A ADP-ribosyltransferase activity (apparent EC50 for GTP of approximately 50 nM), although there was a delay before achievement of a maximal rate of sARF II stimulated toxin activity. The delay was abolished by incubation of sARF II with GTP at 30 degrees C before initiation of the assay. In contrast, a maximal rate of activation of toxin by sARF II, in 0.003% SDS, occurred without delay (apparent EC50 for GTP of approximately 5 microM). High-affinity GTP binding by sARF II was not detectable in SDS. Enhancement of CT-A ADP-ribosyltransferase activity by sARF II, therefore, can occur under conditions in which sARF II exhibits either a relatively low affinity or a relatively high affinity for GTP. The interaction of GTP with ARF under these conditions may reflect ways in which intracellular membrane and cytosolic environments modulate GTP-mediated activation of ARF.

The bacterial toxins, choleragen and pertussis toxin, inhibit the light-stimulated GTPase activity of bovine retinal rod outer segments by catalysing the ADP-ribosylation of the alpha-subunit (T alpha) of transducin [Abood, Hurley, Pappone, Bourne & Stryer (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 10540-10543; Van Dop, Yamanaka, Steinberg, Sekura, Manclark, Stryer & Bourne (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 23-26]. Incubation of retinal rod outer segments with NAD+ and a purified NAD+:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase from turkey erythrocytes resulted in approx. 60% inhibition of GTPase activity. Inhibition was dependent on both enzyme and NAD+, and was potentiated by the non-hydrolysable GTP analogues guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) and guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-methylene]triphosphate (p[CH2]ppG). The transferase ADP-ribosylated both the T alpha and T beta subunits of purified transducin. T alpha (39 kDa), after ADP-ribosylation, migrated as two distinct peptides with molecular masses of 42 kDa and 46 kDa on SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. T beta (36 kDa), after ADP-ribosylation, migrated as a 38 kDa peptide. With purified transducin subunits, it was observed that the GTPase activity of ADP-ribosylated T alpha, reconstituted with unmodified T beta gamma and photolysed rhodopsin, was decreased by 80%; conversely, reconstitution of T alpha with ADP-ribosyl-T beta gamma resulted in only a 19% inhibition of GTPase. Thus ADP-ribosylation of T alpha, the transducin subunit that contains the guanine nucleotide-binding site, has more dramatic effects on GTPase activity than does modification of the critical 'helper subunits' T beta gamma. To elucidate the mechanism of GTPase inhibition by transferase, we studied the effect of ADP-ribosylation on p[NH]pp[3H]G binding to transducin. It was shown previously that modification of transducin by choleragen, which like transferase ADP-ribosylates arginine residues, did not affect guanine nucleotide binding. ADP-ribosylation by the transferase, however, decreased p[NH]pp[3H]G binding, consistent with the hypothesis that choleragen and transferase inhibit GTPase by different mechanisms.

We have examined a variety of conditions for solubilizing and electrophoresing cell proteins in order to define optimum conditions for studying proteins modified by ADP-ribosylation. We have identified conditions in which proteins can be quantitatively extracted from cells in an undegraded form with the protein-ADPribose linkages intact. Effective measures include boiling cells briefly (4 min) in the presence of 2% SDS and 2 M urea at pH 6.8. Both SDS and urea were present in the 6-18% gradient polyacrylamide gel matrix used for electrophoresis. Under these conditions good resolution of proteins of a wide molecular-weight range is obtained. This system has been used to compare protein ADP-ribosylation in non-transformed and polyma virus-transformed baby hamster kidney (BHK) fibroblasts, since the latter cells have a greater NAD+ ADP-ribosyltransferase activity (measured in isolated nuclei and permeabilized cells). Addition of DNAase to permeabilized BHK cells over the range 10-150 micrograms led to a progressively greater activation of transferase compared with controls. When PyY cells were used, however, maximum activation was achieved with only 10 micrograms of DNAase, further additions producing a successively smaller activation relative to control cells without added nuclease. There were also differences between these cells in response to salt. Addition of NaCl (to about 0.3 M) to BHK cells resulted in various extents of transferase activation, whereas any addition of NaCl to the incubate of permeabilized PyY cells decreased transferase activity. These different enzyme activities between this transformed and non-transformed cell line are for the most part not reflected in the protein modification profiles seen on autoradiograms of acrylamide gels after electrophoresis 32P-labelled proteins. A variety of proteins are modified and their molecular weights depend on the NA concentration in the permeabilized cell incubation. At 0.5 microM NAD+ there were two major acceptors with Mr values of 14 kDa and 30 kDa, and at 100 microM NAD+, three major acceptors, with Mr values of 19 kDa. 45 kDa and greater than 170 kDa. NAD concentrations of between 1 microM and 100 microM had no further effect on protein ADP-ribosylation profiles, except for the protein(s) of Mr greater than 170 kDa, pointing to a critical difference around 0.5-1.0 microM substrate. In some experiments, however, a difference was observed in the intensity of radioactivity in two bands. This may represent two different proteins, or a single protein modified to different extents.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Covalent modification of proteins by ADP-ribosylation is a major mode of protein regulation in eukaryotic cells. ADP-ribosyltransferases have been characterized from mammals but little is known about these enzymes in lower vertebrates. We purified an ADP-ribosyltransferase (E.C. 2.4.2.30) from trout (Salmo trutta faris) by affinity chromatography and characterized it. The 11,700-fold purified activity shows a major protein band at a molecular mass of 75,000 kDa in a SDS-polyacrylamide gel. In situ reactivation of SDS gels showed the 75,000 kDa protein to be enzymatically active, and additional enzymatically active bands at molecular masses of 115,000, 90,000 and 87,000 kDa, respectively. The enzyme is capable of poly-ADP-ribosylation. It crossreacts with affinity purified antibodies raised against human poly(ADP-ribose)synthetase and, except for the temperature optimum, its properties strongly resemble the mammalian enzymes, indicating the conserved character of nuclear ADP-ribosyltransferases. The trout enzyme is DNA- and histone-dependent, has an optimal pH between 8 and 9 and an apparent Km for NAD+ of 24 microM. The temperature optimum is 10 degrees C compared with 25 degrees C for the human enzyme. Known ADP-ribosyltransferase inhibitors also inhibit the enzyme from trout.

ADP-ribosyltransferases from several higher eukaryotes have been purified and characterized, but little is known about ADP-ribosyltransferases in lower eukaryotes. We have purified an ADP-ribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.30) from Helix pomatia. The enzyme has an apparent Km of 26.7 microM. Optimal conditions for the enzyme reaction are 17.5 degrees C and pH 8. The time course is linear during the first 10 min of the reaction. The enzyme is capable of poly-ADP-ribosylation. The most highly purified preparation shows one major band at an Mr of 75,000 on electrophoresis in an SDS/polyacrylamide gel, with minor bands at Mr 115,000 and 155,000. Re-activation of SDS/polyacrylamide gels in situ shows the 75,000-Mr band to be enzymically active and additional active bands with Mr values of 115,000, 90,000 and 87,000 respectively. The 115,000-Mr and 75,000-Mr bands cross-react with a polyclonal affinity-purified antiserum against human ADP-ribosyltransferase. Like enzymes from higher eukaryotes, the activity from Helix pomatia is inhibited by thymidine, theophylline, theobromine nicotinamide, 3-methoxybenzamide and 3-aminobenzamide, and is dependent on histone and DNA.
