Identification of the GTP-binding proteins from human platelet particulate fractions was attained by their purification via successive column chromatography steps followed by amino acid sequencing. To enhance the likelihood of identifying the GTP-binding proteins, two assays were employed to monitor GTP-binding activities: (i) guanosine 5'-(3-O-[35S]thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S)-binding followed by rapid filtration and ii) [alpha-32P]GTP-binding following sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and electroblotting onto nitrocellulose membranes. The latter assay permitted the isolation of a 28-kDa GTP-binding protein that bound [alpha-32P]GTP prominently but was only poorly detected with the GTP gamma S-binding assay. The amino acid sequences of three peptide fragments derived from the 28-kDa protein were identical to regions of the amino acid sequence deduced from a simian ral cDNA with the exception of one conservative substitution (Asp147----Glu). A full length human ral cDNA was isolated from a placental cDNA library, and its deduced amino acid sequence, compared with simian ral, also contained the Asp----Glu substitution along with two other substitutions and an additional three NH2-terminal amino acids. In addition to the 28-kDa protein, two distinct 25-kDa GTP-binding proteins were purified from platelets. One of these proteins has been previously characterized as G25K, an abundant low molecular mass GTP-binding protein. Partial amino acid sequence obtained from the second unidentified 25-kDa protein indicates that it is the product of the rac1 gene; a member of a newly identified gene family which encode for low molecular mass GTP-binding proteins (Didsbury, J., Weber, R.F., Bokoch, G. M., Evans, T., and Snyderman, R. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 16378-16382). These results identify two new GTP-binding proteins in human platelets, ral, the major protein that binds [alpha-32P]GTP on nitrocellulose transfers, and rac1, a substrate for botulinum C3 ADP-ribosyltransferase.

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.

Recently we demonstrated the presence in calf thymocytes of a GTP-binding protein (G-protein) composed of three polypeptides, 54, 41, and 27 kDa, which was physically and functionally associated with a soluble phosphoinositides-specific phospholipase C (PI-phospholipase C). The properties of this G protein were further investigated with the following results. 1) In addition to the ability to bind [35S]guanosine-5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP gamma S), the G-protein exhibited GTPase activity, which was enhanced by Mg2+, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidylinositol, but inhibited by sodium cholate, GTP gamma S and F-.2) The 54-kDa polypeptide was ADP-ribosylated by pertussis toxin and also by endogenous membrane-bound ADP-ribosyltransferase, but none of these three polypeptides was ADP-ribosylated by cholera toxin. 3) The G-protein did not cross-react with either anti-rat brain alpha 1 (alpha-subunit of inhibitory G-protein, G1), alpha 0 (alpha-subunit of other G1-like G-protein, G0) or beta gamma antibodies. 4) Incubation of this G Protein with GTP gamma S caused dissociation of the three polypeptides. 5) The 27 kDa polypeptide showed GTP-binding activity and enhanced the phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate hydrolysis by purified PI-phospholipase C. These results suggest that the PI-phospholipase C-associated G-protein in calf thymocytes may be a novel one and that it is involved in the regulation of PI-phospholipase C activity.

The Ha-ras protooncogene product p21, which may be involved in control of cellular growth, is a membrane protein that binds guanine nucleotides and hydrolyzes GTP. p21 GTPase activity is stimulated by lysophosphatidylcholine; a delay in activation was observed unless p21 was incubated with the phospholipid prior to assay. Maximal activation by the phospholipid was observed over a narrow concentration range; the presence in the assay mixture of lysophosphatidylcholine at concentrations above this optimum markedly inhibited p21 GTPase. GTP hydrolysis was also stimulated, but to a lesser degree, by phosphatidylcholine. Phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylserine did not significantly enhance GTPase activity. The stimulatory effect of phospholipid was mimicked, in part, by nonionic detergents. p21 may be related to other GTPases, the regulatory guanine nucleotide-binding G proteins of the hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase complex and transducin of the retinal light-activated phosphodiesterase system. The G proteins and transducin are heterotrimers; the alpha subunits possess GTPase activity and the beta gamma subunit complex along with agonist-receptor complex or light-activated rhodopsin enhance GTP hydrolysis. p21 GTPase activity was slightly stimulated by rhodopsin, but, in contrast to the GTPase activity of transducin, stimulation was not light-dependent. GTP hydrolysis was enhanced somewhat by beta gamma subunit complex in the absence, but not in the presence, of rhodopsin. Like the G proteins and transducin, activity of p21 was altered by ADP-ribosylation. Modification of p21 catalyzed by an NAD: arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase purified from turkey erythrocytes decreased both GTPase activity and guanine nucleotide binding activity.

Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough, releases pertussis toxin in an inactive form. The toxin consists of an A protomer containing one S1 peptide subunit and a B oligomer containing several other peptide subunits. The toxin binds to cells via the B oligomer, and the S1 subunit is activated and expresses ADP-ribosyltransferase and NAD glycohydrolase activities. Treatment of purified toxin with dithiothreitol (DTT) in vitro increases both activities. ATP and the detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS) synergistically reduce the A0.5 (activation constant) for DTT from greater than 100 mM to 200 microM. We studied the structure-activity relationships of activators of the toxin. In the presence of CHAPS (1%) and DTT (10 mM) the following compounds increased the NAD glycohydrolase activity of the toxin with the following A0.5's in microM and fraction of the ATP effect in parentheses: ATP, 0.2 (1.0); ADP, 6 (0.8); UTP, 15 (0.7); GTP, 35 (0.6); pyrophosphate, 45 (0.7); triphosphate, 60 (0.6); tetraphosphate, greater than or equal to 170 (greater than or equal to 0.4). Thus, the polyphosphate moiety is sufficient to stimulate the toxin, and the adenosine moiety confers upon ATP its extraordinary affinity for the toxin. Phospholipid and detergents could substitute for CHAPS in the activation of the toxin. Glutathione substituted for DTT with an A0.5 of 2 mM, a concentration within the range found in eucaryotic cells. Thus, membrane lipids and cellular concentrations of glutathione and ATP are sufficient to activate pertussis toxin without the need for a eucaryotic enzymatic process.

The interaction of nucleotides with pertussis toxin (PT), and their effects on the ability of the toxin to ADP-ribosylate pure Ni, were evaluated. [32P]ATP (10 nM) bound directly to dithiothreitol-activated PT. This binding was competitively inhibited by nucleotides and anions with the following IC50 concentrations in order of decreasing potency: ATP = ATP gamma S (adenosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate)) = 0.2-0.3 microM, GDP beta S (guanosine-5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate)) = 2-3 microM, GTP gamma S (guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate)) = 10-15 microM, ADP = 20-25 microM, GTP = 30-40 microM, GMP-P(NH)P (guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate) = 100-150 microM, GDP = 150-200 microM, Pi = SO4(2-) = 20 mM and Cl- = acetate = 30-35 mM. Treatment of PT with ATP, AMP-P(NH)P, GTP, GDP, or GDP beta S, resulted in a stimulated state of NAD+-Ni ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. Addition of ATP, AMP-P(NH)P (adenyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate), GTP, GDP, and GDP beta S to the ADP-ribosylation reactions resulted in increased rates of ADP-ribosyl-Ni formation. It is concluded that these effects on the nucleotides are due to their action to stimulate the activity of PT. At concentrations of PT between 0.04 and 0.4 microgram/ml, the stimulation of ADP-ribosylation of Ni effected by nucleotides was hysteretic in nature, exhibiting an approximately 25-min long lag when GDP was used as the activating nucleotide. These lags decreased with increasing concentrations of PT, and were abolished by pretreatment of the toxin with GDP or ATP. Preliminary incubation of Ni with GDP had no effect on the lag in its ADP-ribosylation by non-nucleotide treated PT. Addition of divalent cations (Mg2+, Mn2+, and Ca2+) inhibited formation of ADP-ribosyl-Ni, possibly by causing aggregation and denaturation of Ni. This is the first demonstration that both adenine and guanine nucleotides interact directly with PT and act to stimulate its activity to ADP-ribosylate Ni, and that guanine nucleotides do so regardless of whether they are nucleoside di- or triphosphates.

The effect of the addition of guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S), the GTP analog which activates the inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein of adenylyl cyclase (Ni), on the pertussis toxin-mediated ADP-ribosylation reaction was studied in detail. Two effects were discerned: a stimulation of the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of the toxin, akin to what was described for ATP and GDP in a previous report (Mattera, R., Codina, J., Sekura, R., and Birnbaumer, L. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 11173-11179), and a decrease in the ability of Ni to be a substrate for the activated toxin. Both effects were time-dependent with activation of the toxin being somewhat faster than inactivation of Ni. The effect of the addition of GTP gamma S on Ni was readily reversed by excess GDP and attenuated by increasing EDTA in the medium from 0.35 to 10 mM, suggesting dependence on trace concentrations of a divalent cation. It is suggested that this cation is Mg2+ on the basis that low (5-10 nM) concentrations of Mg2+ are needed for the endogenous GTPase activity of Ni (Sunyer, T., Codina, J., and Birnbaumer, L. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 15447-15451). Sucrose density gradient analysis of the Ni X GTP gamma S complexes with decreased susceptibility to ADP-ribosylation by pertussis toxin showed the same sedimentation parameters as Ni or Ni X GDP complexes, indicating that the molecule of Ni with GTP gamma S bound is heterotrimetric as opposed to dissociated into alpha i X GTP gamma S plus beta X gamma. Thus, these experiments define two conformations of heterotrimeric Ni: one -pt+, ADP-ribosylated by pertussis toxin, and the other pt-, poorly or not ADP-ribosylated by pertussis toxin. This latter, hitherto unrecognized conformation, is stabilized by the addition of strongly activating guanine nucleotides such as GTP gamma S and guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate and should be important in the train of events that lead from an inactive heterotrimeric Ni to a fully active and dissociated Ni.

Botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase C3 modified 21-24 kDa proteins in a guanine nucleotide-dependent manner similar to that described for botulinum neurotoxin C1 and D. Whereas GTP and GTP gamma S stimulated C3-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation in the absence of Mg2+, in the presence of added Mg2+ ADP-ribosylation was impaired by GTP gamma S. C3 was about 1000-fold more potent than botulinum C1 neurotoxin in ADP-ribosylation of the 21-24 kDa protein(s) in human platelet membranes. Antibodies raised against C3 blocked ADP-ribosylation of the 21-24 kDa protein by C3 and neurotoxin C1 but neither cross reacted with neurotoxin C1 immunoblots nor neutralized the toxicity of neurotoxin C1 in mice. The data indicate that the ADP-ribosylation of low molecular mass GTP-binding proteins in various eukaryotic cells is not caused by botulinum neurotoxins but is due to the action of botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase C3. The weak enzymatic activities described for botulinum neurotoxins appear to be due to the contamination of C1 and D preparations with ADP-ribosyltransferase C3.

Besides botulinum C2 toxin, Clostridium botulinum type C produces another ADP-ribosyltransferase, which we termed 'C3'. ADP-ribosyltransferase C3 has a molecular mass of 25 kDa and modifies 21-24 kDa protein(s) in platelet and brain membranes. C3 was about 1000 times more potent than botulinum C1 toxin in ADP-ribosylation of membrane proteins. C3-catalysed ADP-ribosylation of the 21-24 kDa protein(s) was decreased by stable guanosine triphosphates, with the potency order GTP[S] much greater than p[NH]ppG greater than p[CH2]ppG. GTP[S] inhibited the ADP-ribosylation caused by C3 by maximally 70-80%, with half-maximal and maximal effects occurring at 0.3 and 10 microM-GTP[S] respectively. The concomitant addition of GTP decreased the inhibitory effect of GTP[S]. GTP[S]-induced inhibition of ADP-ribosylation was resistant to washing of pretreated platelet membranes. The data suggest that the novel botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase C3 modifies eukaryotic 21-24 kDa guanine nucleotide-binding protein(s).

Choleragen (cholera toxin) activates adenylate cyclase by catalyzing ADP-ribosylation of Gs alpha, the stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding protein. It was recently found (Tsai, S.-C., Noda, M., Adamik, R., Moss, J., and Vaughan, M. (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 84, 5139-5142) that a bovine brain membrane protein known as ADP-ribosylation factor or ARF, which enhances ADP-ribosylation of Gs alpha, also increases the GTP-dependent NAD:arginine and NAD:protein ADP-ribosyltransferase, NAD glycohydrolase, and auto-ADP-ribosylation activities of choleragen. We report here the purification and characterization of two soluble proteins from bovine brain that similarly enhance the Gs alpha-dependent and independent ADP-ribose transfer reactions catalyzed by toxin. Like membrane ARF, both soluble factors are 19-kDA proteins dependent on GTP or GTP analogues for activity. Maximal ARF effects were observed at a molar ratio of less than 2:1, ARF/toxin A subunit. Dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine was necessary for optimal ADP-ribosylation of Gs alpha but inhibited auto-ADP-ribosylation of the choleragen A1 subunit and NAD:agmatine ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. It appears that the soluble factors directly activate choleragen in a GTP-dependent fashion. The relationships of the ARF proteins to the ras oncogene products and to the family of guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins that includes Gs alpha remains to be determined.
