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.

The following proteins have been identified in mammalian lung and endothelium, using [32P]ADP-ribosylation by bacterial ADP-ribosyltransferase, immuno- and [alpha-32P]GTP-blottings: 41 kDa Gi1 alpha, 40 kDa Gi2 alpha, 41 kDa Gi3 alpha, 40 kDa and 45 kDa subunits of GS alpha, 36 kDa beta 1 and 35 kDa beta 2 subunits of signal-transmitting GTP-binding proteins (G-proteins), the 19-26 kDa low molecular weight GTP-binding proteins (SMG-proteins) ras, rho, rac, G25K (Gp), as well as ARF and SMG proteins binding with a high affinity to [alpha-32P]GTP. These G- and SMG-proteins are contained in various proportions in membrane and cytosol fractions of lung and endothelium cells. Subunits Gi2 alpha and GS alpha (but not beta 1 or SMG-proteins) my partially (approximately 1%) dissociate from the membrane by the action of the GTP analogs GTP[S] or Gpp(NH)p in the presence of magnesium ions. Extraction with low ionic strength buffer solutions in the presence of EDTA is accompanied by the release of G-actin sensitive to whooping cough toxin Gi2 alpha and beta i subunits. The functionally coupled into a alpha beta gamma heterodimer Gi-protein subunits (predominantly Gi2 alpha and beta i) present in the cytosol fraction as well as the SMG-proteins revealed by [alpha-32P]GTP-blotting (but not the SMG-proteins sensitive to the botulinic C3 exoenzyme, rho/rac, or ARF, may interact with F-actin. Approximately 20% of these proteins are associated with the Triton X-100 insoluble (cytoskeletal) fraction of the endothelium. A conclusion is drawn that interactions of G- and SMG-proteins with actin filaments may be the reason for the formation of "multidisperse" structure in a cell.

Various C3-like ADP-ribosyltransferases like Clostridium botulinum exoenzyme C3, C limosum transferase, B cereus transferase and a transferase from Staphylococcus aureus (EDIN) selectively modify the low-molecular mass GTP-binding proteins RhoA,B,C. UV-irradiation of C limosum transferase in the presence of [carbonyl-14C]NAD resulted in radiolabeling of Glu-174. Concomitantly, ADP-ribosyltransferase and NAD glycohydrolase activities were inhibited. Site-directed mutagenesis of Glu-174 (E174D, E174Q) which resulted in more than 1000-fold reduction of enzyme activity, suggests that the glutamic acid residue is essentially involved in the catalytic action of C3-like transferases. These findings support the view that all bacterial ADP-ribosyltransferases share a similar active-site structure.

Clostridium limosum ADP-ribosyltransferase modifies low molecular mass GTP-binding proteins of the Rho subtype family. Here we cloned and sequenced the gene of the transferase and expressed it in Escherichia coli. The gene encodes a protein of 250 amino acids (M(r) = 27,840), with a putative signal peptide of 45 amino acids, that shows about 60-65% identity with C3 transferases from Clostridium botulinum. The mature C. limosum transferase was expressed as a maltose-binding fusion protein in E. coli and purified to apparent homogeneity. To study the functional role of Glu174 of C. limosum transferase, which was recently photoaffinity-labeled with [carbonyl-14C]NAD [Jung, M., et al. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 23215-23218], two mutants E174D and E174Q were constructed by a polymerase chain reaction-based system. The E174D and E174Q mutants showed a dramatic decrease in kcat, but no major changes in Km,NAD. Furthermore, replacement of Glu174 by aspartic acid and glutamine largely reduced and completely blocked UV-induced incorporation of [carbonyl-14C]NAD into the transferase. The data indicate that Glu174 is an active site residue of C. limosum transferase.

1. We investigated the effect of Clostridium botulinum C3 ADP-ribosyltransferase upon beta-hexosaminidase release induced by various stimuli from streptolysin-O (0.5-1 U/ml)-permeabilized rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) cells. 2. The C3 transferase inhibited beta-hexosaminidase release induced by Ca2+ or by guanosine-5'-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) plus Ca2+. 3. The C3 transferase also inhibited beta-hexosaminidase release induced by stimulating high affinity IgE and m3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. 4. The substrate for the C3 transferase was present in cytosol of RBL-2H3 cells, indicating the presence of rho p21. About 60% of the total cellular substrate protein remained within the cells permeabilized by 1 U/ml of streptolysin-O. 5. The protein rho p21 appears to be regulated by several pathways and it may function as an integration point for exocytosis.

Endogenous ADP-ribosylation was detected in Bacillus subtilis, as determined in vitro with crude cellular extracts. The ADP-ribosylated protein profile changed during growth in sporulation medium, displaying a temporary appearance of two ADP-ribosylated proteins (36 and 58 kDa) shortly after the end of exponential growth. Mutants resistant to 3-methoxybenzamide, a known inhibitor of ADP-ribosyltransferase, were obtained, and a significant proportion (15%) were found to be defective in both sporulation and antibiotic production. These mutants failed to ADP-ribosylate the 36- and 58-kDa proteins. The parent strain also lost the ability to ADP-ribosylate these proteins when grown in the presence of 3-methoxybenzamide at a concentration at which sporulation but not cell growth was severely inhibited. Results from genetic transformations showed that the mutation conferring resistance to 3-methoxybenzamide, named brgA, was cotransformed with the altered phenotypes, i.e., defects in ADP-ribosylation and sporulation. spoOA and spoOF mutants displayed an ADP-ribosylation profile similar to that of the parent strain, but a spoOH mutant failed to ADP-ribosylate any proteins, including the 36- and 58-kDa proteins. The significance of protein ADP-ribosylation in sporulation was further indicated by the observation that ADP-ribosylation of the 36-kDa protein could be induced by treatment with decoyinine, an inhibitor of GMP-synthetase, and by amino acid limitation, both of which resulted in an immediate decrease in GTP pool size eventually leading to massive sporulation. We propose that a new sporulation gene, which presumably controls sporulation via ADP-ribosylation of certain functional proteins, exists.

An ADP-ribosyltransferase has been identified in compact myelin and in several white matter fractions which contain less compact myelin, fractionated on the basis of increasing protein/lipid ratios. One fraction the P3A contained the greatest activity although the activity in compact myelin was only slightly less. The ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of solubilized myelin was stimulated by increasing amounts of GTP gamma S and was specific for the beta-isomer of NAD. Although ADP-ribosylation was demonstrated with the heterotrimeric G proteins in the 40-50 kDa range, the substrate for the ADP-ribosyltransferase in the 20 kDa range was identified as MBP.

ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) are approximately20-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding proteins that participate in vesicular transport in the Golgi and other intracellular compartments and stimulate cholera toxin ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. Both GTP binding and hydrolysis are necessary for its physiological functions, although purified mammalian ARF lacks detectable GTPase activity. An ARF GTPase-activating protein (GAP) was purified >15,000-fold from rat spleen cytosol using (NH4)2SO4 precipitation and chromatography on Ultrogel AcA 34, DEAE-Sephacel, heparin-Sepharose, hydroxylapatite, and Ultrogel AcA 44. In fractions ( approximately100-kDa proteins) from Ultrogel AcA 44, a major protein band of approximately50 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis correlated with GAP activity, consistent with it being a homodimer, thus differing from an ARF GAP purified from rat liver (Makler, V., Cukierman, E., Rotman, M., Admon, A., and Cassel, D. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 5232-5237). Purified spleen GAP accelerated hydrolysis of GTP bound to recombinant ARF1, ARF3, ARF5, and ARF6; no effect of NH2-terminal myristoylation was observed. ARF GAP also activated GTP hydrolysis by ARL1, which is 56% identical in amino acid sequence to ARF1, but lacks ARF activity. ARD1 is a 64-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding protein that contains an 18-kDa ARF domain at its carboxyl terminus; the ARF domain lacks the amino-terminal alpha-helix found in native ARF and hence is similar to the amino-terminal truncated mutant Delta13ARF1. Both the ARF domain of ARD1 and Delta13ARF1 were poor substrates for ARF GAP. The non-ARF1 domain of ARD1 enhanced the GTPase activity of the ARF domain, but not that of the ARF proteins and Delta13ARF1, i.e. it lacks the relatively broad substrate specificity exhibited by ARF GAP.

We have isolated an ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) gene from the human malarial parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. The gene (P. falciparum arf1) has four introns and the exons encode a protein of 181 amino acids with high similarity to the mammalian class I ARF proteins 1-3 (> or = 74% amino acid identity). Southern hybridization suggests there is at least one additional arf in the P. falciparum genome. Northern analysis identified a single P. falciparum arf1 mRNA of 1.8 kb in the asexual blood stage form of the parasite. The P. falciparum arf1 mRNA levels are developmentally regulated, reaching a maximum during nuclear division towards the end of the intraerythrocytic cycle. P. falciparum arf1 cDNA was isolated by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and used to express a recombinant protein in Escherichia coli. Recombinant P. falciparum ARF1 protein was purified with stoichiometric amounts of bound GDP, although intrinsic guanose triphosphatase activity of the protein could not be detected. The protein stimulated cholera-toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosyltransferase activity in a reaction that was dependent upon the addition of both dimyristoylglycerophosphocholine and cholate. The protein bound GTP with first-order kinetics with an apparent rate constant, k', of 0.0145 (+/- 0.0019) min-1. These results suggest that P. falciparum ARF1 is a member of the class 1 ARF family and provide additional evidence for the existence of a classical secretory pathway in P. falciparum.

ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) are a family of approximately 20-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding proteins and members of the Ras superfamily, originally identified and purified by their ability to enhance the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of cholera toxin and more recently recognized as critical participants in vesicular trafficking pathways and phospholipase D activation. ARD1 is a 64-kDa protein with an 18-kDa carboxyl-terminal ARF domain (p3) and a 46-kDa amino-terminal extension (p5) that is widely expressed in mammalian tissues. Using recombinant proteins, we showed that p5, the amino-terminal domain of ARD1, stimulates the GTPase activity of p3, the ARF domain, and appears to be the GTPase-activating protein (GAP) component of this bifunctional protein, whereas in other members of the Ras superfamily a separate GAP molecule interacts with the effector region of the GTP-binding protein. p5 stimulated the GTPase activity of p3 but not of ARF1, which differs from p3 in several amino acids in the effector domain. After substitution of 7 amino acids from p3 in the appropriate position in ARF1, the chimeric protein ARF1(39-45p3) bound to p5, which increased its GTPase activity. Specifically, after Gly40 and Thr45 in the putative effector domain of ARF1 were replaced with the equivalent Asp and Pro, respectively, from p3, functional interaction of the chimeric ARF1 with p5 was increased. Thus, Asp25 and Pro30 of the ARF domain (p3) of ARD1 are involved in its functional and physical interaction with the GTPase-activating (p5) domain of ARD1. After deletion of the amino-terminal 15 amino acids from ARF1(39-45p3), its interaction with p5 was essentially equivalent to that of p3, suggesting that the amino terminus of ARF1(39-45p3) may interfere with binding to p5. These results are consistent with the conclusion that the GAP domain of ARD1 interacts with the effector region of the ARF domain and thereby stimulates GTP hydrolysis.
