The characteristics of ADP-ribosyltransferase activity in skeletal muscle membranes have been studied. The membrane enzymes can ADP-ribosylate exogenous substrates such as guanylhydrazones, polyarginine, lysozyme, and histones. The properties of the enzyme are investigated by using diethylaminobenzylidineaminoguanidine as a model substrate. Incubation of the membranes with [32P]adenylate-labeled NAD results in the labeling of a number of cellular proteins. Magnesium ions, detergents, and diethylaminobenzylidineaminoguanidine stimulated the ADP-ribosylation of membrane proteins, whereas L-arginine methyl ester and arginine inhibited ADP-ribosylation. The labeling of specific proteins in the sarcoplasmic reticulum and glycogen pellet is influenced significantly by detergents, nucleotides, and thiols. The hydroxylamine sensitivity of the ADP-ribose linkage in the membrane proteins is similar to that reported for (ADP-ribose)-arginine linkage. Snake venom phosphodiesterase digestion of the ADP-ribosylated membranes produces 5'-AMP as the major acid-soluble digestion product. The results suggest that the primary mode of modification is mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation. The ADP-ribosyltransferase activity in the membrane preparations is not extracted under conditions used for solubilization of extrinsic proteins, suggesting that the activity is associated with some integral membrane protein.

A novel ADP-ribosyltransferase C3 was purified to homogeneity from filtrates of certain strains of Clostridium botulinum type C by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography and heat treatment. The molecular mass of botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase C3 was found to be 25 kDa. In the presence of [32P]NAD but not with [carbonyl-14C]NAD, C3 labelled 21-24-kDa protein(s) in membranes of human platelets and other tissues. The Km value of the ADP-ribosylation reaction for NAD was about 2 microM. Labelling of the 21-24-kDa protein(s) by C3 was largely reduced by addition of nicotinamide. Snake venom phosphodiesterase cleaved the ADP-ribose attached to the 21-24-kDa protein(s) by C3 and released 5'AMP. C3 catalyzed hydrolysis of [carbonyl-14C]NAD and released [carbonyl-14C]nicotinamide. ADP-ribosylation of 21-24-kDa platelet membrane protein(s) was biphasically regulated by Mg2+, Mn2+ and Ca2+. In the absence of free divalent cations GTP, GTP[gamma S] and GDP but not GDP[beta S], GMP, ATP or ATP[gamma S] increased labelling by C3. In the presence of Mg2+, GTP[gamma S] was inhibitory. Guanine nucleotides prevented heat inactivation of the substrate protein(s) with the rank order GTP[gamma S] = GTP = GDP greater than GDP[beta S] greater than GMP much greater than ATP = GMP = ATP[gamma S]. The data support the view that the novel ADP-ribosyltransferase C3 modifies eukaryotic 21-24-kDa GTP-binding protein(s).

ADP-ribosylation of arginine appears to be a reversible modification of proteins with NAD: arginine ADP-ribosyltransferases and ADP-ribosylarginine hydrolases catalyzing the opposing arms of the ADP-ribosylation cycle. ADP-ribosylarginine hydrolases have been purified extensively (greater than 90%) (150,000-250,000-fold) from the soluble fraction of turkey erythrocytes by DE-52, phenyl-Sepharose, hydroxylapatite, Ultrogel AcA 54, and Mono Q chromatography. Mobilities of the hydrolase on gel permeation columns and on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions are consistent with an active monomeric species of approximately 39 kDa. Insertion of an organomercurial agarose chromatographic step prior to Ultrogel AcA 54 resulted in the isolation of a hydrolase exhibiting approximately 35-fold greater sensitivity to dithiothreitol (Ka,sensitive = 41 +/- 16.7 microM, n = 4; Ka,resistant = 1.44 +/- 0.12 mM, n = 3). A similar dithiothreitol-sensitive hydrolase was generated by exposure of the purified resistant enzyme to HgCl2. At 30 degrees C, both thiol-sensitive (HS) and thiol-resistant (HR) hydrolases were relatively resistant to N-ethylmaleimide (NEM); incubation with dithiothreitol prior to NEM resulted in complete inactivation. Both HS and HR required Mg2+ and thiol for enzymatic activity. Mg2+ stabilized both HS and HR against thermal inactivation in the absence and presence of thiol. A purified NAD:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase, in the presence of NAD, inactivated both HS and HR; Mg2+ and to a greater extent Mg2+ plus dithiothreitol protected both HS and HR from NAD- and transferase-dependent inactivation. Thus, activation of the hydrolase enhanced its resistance to inactivation by transferase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The nuclei of Plasmodium yoelii nigeriensis contain an enzyme, ADP-ribosyltransferase, that will incorporate the ADP-ribose moiety of NAD+ into acid-insoluble product. The time, pH and temperature optima of this incorporation are 30 min, 8.5 and 25 degrees C respectively. Maximum stimulation of the enzyme activity is obtained with 1.0 mM-dithiothreitol or 2.0 mM-2-mercaptoethanol. Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions at optimum concentrations of 5 mM and 10 mM respectively stimulated the activity of the enzyme by 21% and 91%. The enzyme activity is, however, inhibited by 24% in the presence of 10 mM-MnSO4. The substrate, NAD+, exhibits an apparent Km of 500 microM, and the activity of the enzyme is inhibited by four chemical classes of inhibitors: nicotinamides, methylxanthines, thymidine and aromatic amides. The inhibitors are effective in the following increasing order: nicotinamide less than 3-aminobenzamide less than thymidine less than 5-methylnicotinamide less than theophylline less than m-methoxybenzamide less than theobromine. The enzyme activity is also inhibited by some DNA-binding anti-malarial drugs.

Chromatin-bound ADP-ribosyltransferase from adult hen liver nuclei was purified to a homogeneous state through salt extraction, gel filtration, hydroxyapatite, phenyl-Sepharose, Cm-cellulose, and DNA-Sepharose. The ADP-ribosyltransferase has a pH optimum at 9.0 and does not require DNA for reaction. The purified enzyme has a molecular weight of 27,500 +/- 500. Agmatine sulfate, arginine methyl ester, histones, and casein proved to be effective acceptors for the ADP-ribose molecule. Among histones, H3 was most active, followed by H2a, H4, and H2b, in that order, the lowest activity seen with H1. With all the acceptors tested, the rate of nicotinamide release was in excess of the ADP-ribosylation. However, changes in the ratio of nicotinamide release to ADP-ribosylation seemed to depend on concentrations of the acceptor used. ADP-ribose-whole histones X adducts formed by ADP-ribosyltransferase served as initiators for poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis when these adducts were incubated in the presence of NAD, DNA, Mg2+, and the purified poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase, in which poly(ADP-ribose) formation can occur.

ADP-ribosylation is a reversible post-translational modification of proteins involving the addition of the ADP-ribose moiety of NAD to an acceptor protein or amino acid. NAD:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase, purified from numerous animal tissues, catalyzes the transfer of ADP-ribose to an arginine residue in proteins. The reverse reaction, catalyzed by ADP-ribosylarginine hydrolase, removes ADP-ribose, regenerating free arginine. An ADP-ribosylarginine hydrolase, purified extensively from turkey erythrocytes, was a 39-kDa monomeric protein under denaturing and non-denaturing conditions, and was activated by Mg2+ and dithiothreitol. The ADP-ribose moiety was critical for substrate recognition; the enzyme hydrolyzed ADP-ribosylarginine and (2-phospho-ADP-ribosyl)arginine but not phosphoribosylarginine or ribosylarginine. The hydrolase cDNA was cloned from rat and subsequently from mouse and human brain. The rat hydrolase gene contained a 1086-base pair open reading frame, with deduced amino acid sequences identical to those obtained by amino terminal sequencing of the protein or of HPLC-purified tryptic peptides. Deduced amino acid sequences from the mouse and human hydrolase cDNAs were 94% and 83% identical, respectively to the rat. Anti-rat brain hydrolase polyclonal antibodies reacted with turkey erythrocyte, mouse and bovine brain hydrolase. The rat hydrolase, expressed in E. coli, demonstrated enhanced activity in the presence of Mg2+ and thiol, whereas the recombinant human hydrolase was stimulated by Mg2+ but was thiol-independent. In the rat and mouse enzymes, there are five cysteines in identical positions; four of the cysteines are conserved in the human hydrolase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Weanling male F344 rats were fed either a semi-purified diet low in methionine and lacking in choline and folic acid (folate/methyl deficient) or a supplemented control diet for periods of 2, 5, 7 days, 3 weeks, and 9 weeks. Two days after initiating the folate/methyl deficient diet in weanling F344 rats, the incidence of apoptotic bodies, identified by in situ end-labeling of 3'-OH DNA strand breaks, was significantly increased in liver sections from the deficient rats. Apoptotic cell death was confirmed biochemically by an increase in nuclear Ca2+/Mg2+-dependent endonuclease activity that paralleled the increase in apoptotic bodies over the 9-week feeding period. There was no morphologic evidence of necrotic foci or necrosis-associated inflammatory response over the 9-week period. Confirming that cell turnover is chronically elevated in this model, the increase in apoptotic rate was accompanied by a sustained increase in the mitotic index (MI). The DNA repair-associated enzyme, poly(ADPribose) polymerase (PARP), was similarly elevated and was associated with significant decreases in the substrate for ADPribose polymer synthesis, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). Because folate metabolites are essential for de novo purine and thymidine biosynthesis, prolonged deficiency in folic acid can induce an imbalance in the deoxynucleotide precursors for DNA replication/repair and negatively affect the fidelity of DNA synthesis. Using an HPLC method, hepatic deoxyuridine triphosphate (dUTP) levels were increased at 3 and 9 weeks after initiation of the deficient diet and levels of thymidine triphosphate (dTTP) were reduced. An increase in dUTP/ dTTP ratio is consistent with a block in folate-dependent de novo thymidylate biosynthesis and may predispose to uracil misincorporation and DNA repair-related DNA strand breaks.

To investigate the involvement of different proteases in the execution step of apoptosis and to determine their intracellular location, isolated rat thymocyte nuclei were incubated either in the presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+ or with cytosolic extract from Jurkat T lymphocytes treated with anti-Fas (APO-1, CD-95) antibody. Inhibitors of caspases, VADcmk and DEVDcho, were not effective in hindering Ca2+-induced apoptotic changes in isolated nuclei, but did prevent similar changes in nuclei treated with the cytosolic extract from apoptotic Jurkat cells. In contrast, the inhibitor of the Ca2+-regulated, nuclear scaffold-associated serine protease, AAPFcmk, was able to inhibit lamin B1 breakdown, as well as chromatin cleavage in nuclei incubated in the presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+, but only partially prevented the same changes induced with cytosolic extract. Our findings provide evidence for the involvement of at least two proteases in lamin cleavage. One belongs to the caspase family and to cleave lamins this enzyme must be translocated from the cytoplasm into the nucleus. The second protease has a nuclear location and is activated by Ca2+. Finally, neither of these two lamin-cleaving proteases is responsible for the cleavage of another nuclear target protein, poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP), during apoptosis.

Mono-ADP-ribosylation in mammals is poorly understood. In this study, we found mono-ADP-ribosylated actin in rat brains. Mono-ADP-ribosylated actin by ADP-ribosyltransferase or nonenzymatic reaction was shown at a different position from the unmodified actin in the isoelectrical focusing. High-pressure liquid chromatography utilizing a reverse phase (ODS) column separated ADP-ribosylated actin from unmodified actin. In the two-dimensional gel electrophoreses and high-pressure liquid chromatography, the endogenously ADP-ribosylated actin was detected in the supernatant fraction from the rat brain extract, where a nonpolymerizing actin was present after removal of the polymerizing actin. The concentration of NAD and ADP-ribose, after microwave irradiation, was 220 nmol and 150 nmol/g of rat brain tissue. Actin ADP-ribosylated by purified ADP-ribosyltransferase failed to form actin filaments after the addition of Mg2+. Actin ADP-ribosylated by the nonenzymatic reaction could polymerize with the addition of Mg2+. The enzymatically modified actin could form actin filaments after treatment with ADP-ribosylhydrolase but not after treatment with phosphodiesterase. These results suggest that ADP-ribosylated actin by enzymatic or nonenzymatic reaction is one of the sequestering factors in actin-actin binding and is a part of the actin pool in the rat brain.

Ca2+- and Mg2+-dependent endonucleases have been implicated in DNA fragmentation during apoptosis. We have demonstrated that particular nucleases of this type are inhibited by poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation and suggested that subsequent cleavage of PARP by caspase-3 might release these nucleases from poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation-induced inhibition. Hence, we purified and partially sequenced such a nuclease isolated from bovine seminal plasma and identified human, rat and mouse homologs of this enzyme. The extent of sequence homology among these nucleases indicates that these four proteins are orthologous members of the family of DNase I-related enzymes. We demonstrate that the activation of the human homolog previously specified as DNAS1L3 can induce Ca2+- and Mg2+-dependent DNA fragmentation in vitro and in vivo. RT-PCR analysis failed to detect DNAS1L3 mRNA in HeLa cells and nuclei isolated from these cells did not exhibit internucleosomal DNA fragmentation when incubated in the presence of Ca2+and Mg2+. However, nuclei isolated from HeLa cells that had been stably transfected with DNAS1L3 cDNA underwent such DNA fragmentation in the presence of both ions. The Ca2+ionophore ionomycin also induced internucleosomal DNA degradation in transfected but not in control HeLa cells. Transverse alternating field electrophoresis revealed that in nuclei from transfected HeLa cells, but not in those from control cells, DNA was cleaved into fragments of >1000 kb in the presence of Mg2+; addition of Ca2+in the presence of Mg2+resulted in processing of the >1000 kb fragments into 50 kb and oligonucleosomal fragments. These results demonstrate that DNAS1L3 is necessary for Ca2+- and Mg2+-dependent cleavage of DNA into both oligonucleosomal and high molecular mass fragments in specific cell types.
