An NAD- and guanidine-dependent ADP-ribosyltransferase has been purified more than 500,000-fold from turkey erythrocytes with an 18% yield. The enzyme in the 100,000 X g supernatant fraction was bound to phenyl-Sepharose, eluted with 50% propylene glycol, and further purified by sequential chromatographic steps on carboxymethylcellulose, NAD-agarose and concanavalin A-agarose. The transferase was specifically eluted from concanavalin A-agarose with alpha-methylmannoside. The enzymatic activity was extremely labile following the first purification step. Both propylene glycol and NaCl stabilized the transferase; significant increases in enzyme recovery were obtained by conducting the NAD- and concanavalin A-agarose chromatography in buffer containing propylene glycol. The purified protein exhibits one predominant protein band on SDS-polyacrylamide gels with an estimated molecular weight of 28,300. On Ultrogel AcA54 chromatography, single coincident peaks of ADP-ribosyltransferase activity and protein were observed. Enzyme activity was independent of DNA; the highly purified transferase was inhibited by thymidine, nicotinamide, and theophylline. The specific activity of the purified enzyme (350 mumol of ADP-ribose transferred from NAD to arginine methyl estermin-1mg-1) is comparable to that reported for purified NAD glycohydrolases and poly(ADP-ribosyl)transferases.

An NAD+:cysteine ADP-ribosyltransferase activity was purified from bovine erythrocytes on the assumption that, like pertussis toxin, the enzyme would exhibit a cysteine-dependent NAD+ glycohydrolase activity. A three-step purification procedure was developed involving (1) precipitation with 40% (NH4)2SO4, (2) binding to a cysteine-Sepharose affinity column, and (3) binding to an NAD+ affinity column. PAGE showed a single band of M(r) 45,000. The enzyme had been purified 47,000-fold and had a specific activity of 1900 nmol nicotinamide released/min per mg. A study of the kinetic properties of this enzyme showed saturation kinetics for cysteine (Km = 4.0 mM). The ability of this enzyme to ADP-ribosylate protein was investigated using re-sealed inverted bovine erythrocyte ghosts. Incubation of the purified enzyme with erythrocyte ghosts and [adenylate-32P]NAD+ led to the enhanced dose-dependent labelling of several proteins, a doublet of high M(r) and proteins of M(r) 60,000, 55,000 and 29,000, identified by autoradiography of separated proteins on SDS/PAGE. The enzyme-catalysed labelling of the major component at M(r) 55,000 was blocked by pre-treatment of the erythrocyte ghosts with N-ethymaleimide, a sulphydryl alkylating agent, and the label was released by mercuric ion, but not by hydroxylamine. These experiments suggested that a cysteine residue on the target protein had been mono-ADP-ribosylated. This supposition was further supported by identification of the mercf1p4ion-released radiolabelled product as ADP-ribose by HPLC, and the observation that free ADP-ribose was unable to modify the membrane target protein directly.

ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) are approximately 20-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding proteins that activate cholera toxin ADP-ribosyltransferase in vitro and participate in intracellular vesicular membrane trafficking. ARFs are activated when bound GDP is replaced by GTP and inactivated by hydrolysis of bound GTP to yield ARF-GDP. Usually, ARFs are isolated in an inactive GDP-bound state and require addition of GTP along with detergent or phospholipid for activity. Purified mutant recombinant ARF1 lacking the first 13 amino acids (r delta 13ARF1-P) stimulated cholera toxin activity essentially equally with or without added GTP (and phospholipid or detergent), at least in part due to the presence of bound nucleotides, which later were identified as GTP and GDP. Nucleotide-free r delta 13ARF1 (r delta 13ARF1-F), prepared by dialysis against 7 M urea, was active without added GTP in the absence of SDS but inactive without added GTP in its presence. Renaturation of r delta 13ARF1-F in the presence of GTP, ITP, or GDP yielded, respectively, r delta 13ARF1-GTP and r delta 13ARF1-ITP, which were active, and r delta 13ARF1-GDP, which was inactive. Effects of phospholipids and detergents on nucleotide exchangeability evaluated as effects on activity of rARF1 and r delta 13ARF1-F differed. With r delta 13ARF1-F, 100 microM ITP and 100 microM GTP were essentially equally effective in the presence of cardiolipin or SDS. The finding that r delta 13ARF1 differs from rARF1 in the effects of phospholipids and detergents on nucleotide binding is consistent with the conclusion that the ARF amino terminus plays an important role in nucleotide binding and its specificity as well as the molecular conformation and associated activity.

Integrin alpha 7 is a major substrate in skeletal muscle cells for the cell surface, glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored, arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase. Since ADP-ribosylarginine hydrolase, the enzyme responsible for cleavage of the ADP-ribosylarginine bond and a component with the transferase of a putative ADP-ribosylation cycle, is cytosolic, the processing of ADP-ribosylated integrin alpha 7 was investigated. Following incubation of differentiated mouse C2C12 myoblasts with [adenylate-32P]NAD and analysis by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions, two [32P]ADP-ribosylated forms of integrin alpha 7 were resolved. By pulse-chase and purification of the radiolabeled proteins on a laminin affinity column, it was demonstrated that a 105-kDa ADP-ribosylated form originated from a mono-ADP-ribosylated 102-kDa form and represented integrin alpha 7 modified at more than one site. The additional site(s) of modification, utilized at higher NAD concentrations, were located in the 63-kDa N-terminal segment of integrin alpha 7. Both [32P]ADP-ribosylated integrins were loosely associated with the cytoskeleton, bound to laminin affinity columns, and immunoprecipitated with antibodies to integrin beta 1. 32P label was rapidly removed from [32P]ADP-ribosylated integrin alpha 7 at either site of modification, a process inhibited by free ADP-ribose or p-nitrophenylthymidine-5'-monophosphate, an alternative substrate of 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase. The processed integrin alpha 7 was unavailable for subsequent ADP-ribosylation, although the amount of surface integrin alpha 7 remained constant. During the processing, no loss of label was observed from integrin alpha 7 radiolabeled with [14C]NAD, containing 14C in the nicotinamide proximal ribose, consistent with degradation of the ADP-ribose moiety by a cell surface 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase. Thus, cell surface ADP-ribosylation, in contrast to intracellular ADP-ribosylation, is not readily reversed by ADP-ribosylarginine hydrolase and seems to operate outside the postulated ADP-ribosylation cycle.

A cDNA clone pCZ1, with a 1.1 kb insert, was isolated from a NaCl-adapted tobacco cell cDNA library that encodes an apparently full-length 29 kDa protein (251 amino acids) with a calculated pI of 5.7. The encoded peptide had a high amino acid sequence identity with bovine 14-3-3 protein which was originally found as an abundant protein in the animal central nervous system. Recently, proteins with sequence identity to 14-3-3 protein have also been found in plants, insects and yeast, and appear to have diverse physiological functions. Similar to the bovine brain 14-3-3 protein, the recombinant pCZ1 protein stimulated ADP-ribosylation of protein substrate by ADP-ribosyltransferase from the plant and animal pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This recombinant protein also inhibited protein kinase C activity in vitro. Southern blot analyses indicated that most likely five genes encoding 14-3-3-like proteins are present in tobacco. The pCZ1 cDNA insert hybridized to a single mRNA of 1.1 kb from cultured tobacco cells. The level of this mRNA transcript in tobacco cells was downregulated upon adaptation to NaCl but was unaffected by short-term treatment with NaCl, ABA or ethylene. In tobacco plants, expression of transcript that hybridized to pCZ1 was tissue specific, and was most abundant in roots and flower parts. Monoclonal antibody raised against GF14 protein, a maize protein with substantial sequence identity with 14-3-3 protein detected two bands on SDS-PAGE of total proteins from unadapted tobacco cells and only a single band from cells adapted to NaCl. The GF14 antibody was also used to illustrate that the G-box element of a salt-induced gene is associated with a 14-3-3-type protein.

RT6.2 is a 26-kDa alloantigen expressed only on post-thymic T cells and attached to the cell membrane through a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. It has been reported that expression of RT6.2 in animal models may correlate with lymphopenia and genetically-induced insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Its physiological function is unclear. Since RT6.2 has significant amino acid identity with a GPI-anchored rabbit muscle NAD:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase, RT6.2 was expressed in rat mammary adenocarcinoma cells and the ability of the expressed protein to catalyze ADP-ribose transfer reactions was examined. Cells transformed with the RT6.2 gene expressed NAD glycohydrolase activity that was released from intact cells by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, consistent with its presence on the cell surface. A similar activity was not detected with vector-transformed cells. RT6.2 did not ADP-ribosylate simple guanidino compounds. The molecular weight of the phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C-released NAD glycohydrolase, determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, was 22,000-24,000, in good agreement with that of native RT6.2. These results strongly suggest that the rat T cell alloantigen RT6.2 is a GPI-anchored NAD glycohydrolase.

Cytotoxic necrotizing factor type 2 (CNF2) produced by Escherichia coli strains isolated from intestinal and extraintestinal infections is a dermonecrotic toxin of 110 kDa. We cloned the CNF2 gene from a large plasmid carried by an Escherichia coli strain isolated from a lamb with septicemia. Hydropathy analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence revealed a largely hydrophilic protein with two potential hydrophobic transmembrane domains. The N-terminal half of CNF2 showed striking homology (27% identity and 80% conserved residues) to the N-terminal portion of Pasteurella multocida toxin. Methylamine protection experiments and immunofluorescence studies suggested that CNF2 enters the cytosol of the target cell through an acidic compartment and induces the reorganization of actin into stress fibers. Since the formation of stress fibers in eukaryotic cells involves Rho proteins, we radiolabeled these small GTP-binding proteins from CNF2-treated and control cells with a Rho-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase. The [32P]ADP-ribosylated Rho proteins from CNF2-treated cells migrated slightly more slowly in SDS/PAGE than did the labeled proteins from the control cells. This shift in mobility of Rho proteins in SDS/PAGE was also observed when CNF2 and the RhoA protein were coexpressed in E. coli. We propose that Rho proteins are the targets of CNF2 in mammalian cells.

Five monoclonal antibodies (mAb) were raised that bound to the surface of procyclic stage Trypanosoma congolense with high intensity in immunofluorescence. Immunoblot analysis of trypanosome lysates using 3 of these mAb revealed a diffuse SDS-PAGE band of 36-40 kDa. The purified antigen did not react with Coomassie Blue or silver stains, but did stain blue with Stains-all, indicating acidity. For the one mAb tested, the epitope was periodate-sensitive and therefore probably glycan. Although this antigen shares properties with procyclin/PARP, which forms a surface coat on procyclic Trypanosoma brucei, a search in T. congolense for homologues of a procyclin/PARP gene revealed only non-coding sequence of partial similarity. Using a differential screen, a procyclic stage T. congolense cDNA clone was isolated that encoded a putative 256-amino acid protein containing 2 peptides chemically sequenced independently by Beecroft et al. [36]. The protein, termed glutamate and alanine-rich protein (GARP), has potential hydrophobic leader and tail sequences (the latter with potential for replacement by a glycosyl phosphoinositol anchor) and no potential N-linked glycosylation sites. It has no significant sequence homology with known proteins. Antibodies against a translational fusion of GARP bound specifically in Western blots to a band very similar to that detected by the mAb and also to the purified antigen. Immunogold electron microscopy revealed a dense packing of the antigen on the cell surface. It appears that procyclic T. brucei and T. congolense have major surface proteins with structural analogy, but with no sequence homology.

A cytoplasmic poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) was purified from mouse plasmacytoma free messenger ribonucleoprotein particles using chromatography on 3-aminobenzamide affigel-10. The purified protein showed one band at 116 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and shared similar antigenic sites to the nuclear PARP. An apparent Km for NAD of 100.5 +/- 6.3 microM and a Vmax of 174 +/- 40 nmoles of ADP-ribose incorporated/min/mg protein were observed. RNA was detected in the enzyme preparation and the enzymatic activity was not DNA dependent.

Clones referred to as ARD 1 were isolated from human and rat cDNA libraries. ARD 1 genes encode a putative 64-kDa protein that contains an 18-kDa ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) domain at the carboxyl terminus and is much larger than the other monomeric approximately 20-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding ARF proteins thus far identified. ARD 1 mRNAs of 3.7 and 4.1 kilobases were detected in all rat tissues as well as in mouse and rabbit brain, human fibroblasts, and human neuroblastoma cells but not in HL-60 cells. Based on sequence identities, ARD 1 is highly conserved between rat and human. The ARF domain of ARD 1 contains the consensus sequences believed to be involved in guanine nucleotide binding, which are conserved in the ARFs and other GTP-binding proteins. Recombinant ARD 1 or the ARF domain of ARD 1, which lacks the 15 amino acids corresponding to the amino-terminal regions of ARFs stimulated, in a GTP-dependent manner, cholera toxin ADP-ribosyltransferase activity in the presence of 0.3% Tween 20. It had no effect in the presence of SDS, dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine/cholate, or cardiolipin. These observations are consistent with the conclusion that the amino-terminal region of ARF proteins is not required for activation of cholera toxin. In addition, the characteristic features of ARF proteins may be found as domains of larger mammalian proteins.
