ADP-ribosyltransferase from Clostridium botulinum type C strain was found to induce an increase of inositol phosphates (IPs) formation in murine thymocytes membranes. Incubation of electropermeabilized murine thymocytes with the enzyme also caused an increase of IPs formation in the cells. This increase of IPs formation in the enzyme-treated membranes and electropermeabilized cells was dependent on the amount of both NAD and the enzyme, suggesting that the stimulation of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) was related to ADP-ribosylation of membrane proteins by the enzyme. On the other hand, in calf and murine thymocytes two proteins with the same molecular weight of 21,000 were found to be ADP-ribosylated by the botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase. A minor ADP-ribosylation substrate was shown by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to be G21k, a low-molecular-weight GTP-binding protein (G protein) suggested previously by us to be involved in PLC regulation [Wang, P. et al. (1987) J. Biochem. 102, 1275-1287; (1988) 103, 137-142; and (1989) 105, 461-466], and the other major ADP-ribosylation substrate was identified as a rho A protein. Under the experimental conditions of the IPs formation study, ADP-ribosylation of both G21k and rho A proteins by botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase in membranes and permeabilized cells was observed. These results suggest that botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase-induced PLC stimulation in thymocytes is closely correlated with ADP-ribosylation of the low-molecular-weight G proteins.

Glutamine synthetase from the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum is the target of both ATP- and NAD-dependent modification. Incubation of R. rubrum cell supernatant with [alpha-32P]NAD results in the labeling of glutamine synthetase and two other unidentified proteins. Dinitrogenase reductase ADP-ribosyltransferase does not appear to be responsible for the modification of glutamine synthetase or the unidentified proteins. The [alpha-32P]ATP- and [alpha-32P] NAD-dependent modifications of R. rubrum glutamine synthetase appear to be exclusive and the two forms of modified glutamine synthetase are separable on two-dimensional gels. Loss of enzymatic activity by glutamine synthetase did not correlate with [alpha-32P]NAD labeling. This is in contrast to inactivation by nonphysiological ADP-ribosylation of other glutamine synthetases by an NAD:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase from turkey erythrocytes (Moss, J., Watkins, P.A., Stanley, S.J., Purnell, M.R., and Kidwell, W.R. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 5100-5104). A 32P-labeled protein spot comigrates with the NAD-treated glutamine synthetase spot when glutamine synthetase purified from H3 32PO4-grown cells is analyzed on two-dimensional gels. The adenylylation site of R. rubrum glutamine synthetase has been determined to be Leu-(Asp)-Tyr-Leu-Pro-Pro-Glu-Glu-Leu-Met; the tyrosine residue is the site of modification.

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.

Glutamic acid-148, an active-site residue of diphtheria toxin identified by photoaffinity labeling with NAD, was replaced with aspartic acid, glutamine, or serine by directed mutagenesis of the F2 fragment of the toxin gene. Wild-type and mutant F2 proteins were synthesized in Escherichia coli, and the corresponding enzymic fragment A moieties (DTA) were derived, purified, and characterized. The Glu----Asp (E148D), Glu----Gln (E148Q), and Glu----Ser (E148S) mutations caused reductions in NAD:EF-2 ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of ca. 100-, 250-, and 300-fold, respectively, while causing only minimal changes in substrate affinity. The effects of the mutations on NAD-glycohydrolase activity were considerably different; only a 10-fold reduction in activity was observed for E148S, and the E148D and E148Q mutants actually exhibited a small but reproducible increase in NAD-glycohydrolytic activity. Photolabeling by nicotinamide-radiolabeled NAD was diminished ca. 8-fold in the E148D mutant and was undetectable in the other mutants. The results confirm that Glu-148 plays a crucial role in the ADP-ribosylation of EF-2 and imply an important function for the side-chain carboxyl group in catalysis. The carboxyl group is also important for photochemical labeling by NAD but not for NAD-glycohydrolase activity. The pH dependence of the catalytic parameters for the ADP-ribosyltransferase reaction revealed a group in DTA-wt that titrates with an apparent pKa of 6.2-6.3 and is in the protonated state in the rate-determining step.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) are approximately 20-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding proteins that serve as GTP-dependent allosteric activators of cholera toxin ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. Four species of mammalian ARF, termed ARF 1-4, have been identified by cloning. Hybridization of a bovine ARF 2 cDNA under low stringency with mammalian poly(A)+ RNA resulted in multiple bands that were subsequently assigned to the known ARF genes using ARF-specific oligonucleotide probes. The relative signal intensities of some bands (e.g. the 3.8- and 1.3-kilobase (kb) mRNAs) that hybridized with the cDNA were not, however, consistent with the intensities observed with the individual ARF-specific oligonucleotide probes. These inconsistencies suggested that other ARF-like mRNAs were comigrating with known ARF mRNAs. To explore this possibility, a cyclic AMP-differentiated HL-60 Lambda ZAP library was screened using the bovine ARF 2 cDNA. Clones corresponding to known ARF genes (1, 3, and 4) were identified by hybridization of positive clones with oligonucleotide probes specific for each ARF species; ARF 2 cDNA-positive, oligonucleotide-negative clones were sequenced. Two new ARF-like genes, ARF 5 and 6, encoding proteins of 180 and 175 amino acids, respectively, were identified. Both proteins contain consensus sequences believed to be involved in guanine nucleotide binding and GTP hydrolysis. ARF 5 was most similar in deduced amino acid sequence to ARF 4, which also has 180 amino acids. ARF 6, whose deduced amino acid sequence is identical with that of a putative chicken pseudogene (CPS1) except for a serine/threonine substitution, was different from other ARF species in size and deduced amino acid sequence. With mammalian poly(A)+ RNA from a variety of tissues and cultured cells, ARF 5 preferentially hybridized with a 1.3-kb mRNA, whereas ARF 6 hybridized with 1.8- and 4.2-kb mRNAs. The fact that the sizes of these mRNAs are similar to those of other ARFs (ARF 1, 1.9 kb; ARF 2, 2.6 kb; ARF 3, approximately 3.8 and 1.3 kb; ARF 4, 1.8 kb) explain the previously observed inconsistencies between the cDNA and ARF-specific oligonucleotide hybridization patterns. All six ARF cDNAs are more similar to each other than to other approximately 20-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding 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.

The primary product of biological nitrogen fixation, ammonia, reversibly regulates nitrogenase activity in a variety of diazotrophs by a process called "NH4(+)-switch-off/on." Strong correlative evidence from work in Azospirillum lipoferum and Rhodospirillum rubrum indicates that this regulation involves both the inactivation of dinitrogenase reductase by dinitrogenase reductase ADP-ribosyltransferase and the reactivation by dinitrogenase reductase activating glycohydrolase. The genes encoding these two enzymes, draT and draG, have been cloned from these two organisms, so that direct genetic evidence can be marshaled to test this model in vivo. The draT/G system has been transferred to and monitored in the enteric nitrogen-fixing bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae, an organism normally devoid of such a regulatory mechanism. The expressed draT and draG genes allowed K. pneumoniae to respond to NH4Cl with a reversible regulation of nitrogenase activity that was correlated with the reversible ADP-ribosylation of dinitrogenase reductase in vivo. Thus, the expression of draT and draG genes in K. pneumoniae is necessary and sufficient to support NH4(+)-switch-off/on, and ADP-ribosylation serves as a reversible regulatory mechanism for controlling nitrogenase activity in prokaryotes.

Botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase C3 (C3 exoenzyme) was purified to homogeneity and added to cultured rat pheochromocytoma PC-12 cells. Incubation with this exoenzyme caused inhibition of cell growth and induced neurites as well as acetylcholine esterase in these cells. These changes were dependent on the amount of the enzyme added to the culture, which correlated with the in situ ADP-ribosylation of the rho/rac proteins in the cells. Preincubation with a specific anti-C3 exoenzyme monoclonal antibody inhibited both the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity and the neurite-inducing activity of the enzyme preparation. These results suggest that C3 exoenzyme affected the cellular function of the rho/rac proteins by ADP-ribosylation to induce these changes in the cells.

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.

The cytotoxic mechanism of diphtheria toxin (DTx) is associated with its ability to inhibit protein synthesis by ADP-ribosylation of elongation factor 2. Although DTx intoxication leads to internucleosomal DNA cleavage and cell lysis, these events do not occur when protein synthesis is inhibited by alternative treatments (e.g., cycloheximide). Here we show that endonucleolytic degradation of DNA is an intrinsic activity of DTx and also of the crossreactive mutant protein CRM197. Assays using DNA-impregnated gels as well as linear and supercoiled DNA in solution revealed not only that CRM197 has nuclease activity but also that its specific activity is actually significantly greater than that of the wild-type molecule. Since CRM197 contains a single amino acid substitution that renders it incapable of ADP-ribosylation, we propose that the active sites for ADP-ribosyltransferase and nuclease activities are distinct.
