ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) are a family of approximately 20-kDa guanine nucleotide-binding proteins initially identified by their ability to enhance cholera toxin ADP-ribosyltransferase activity in the presence of GTP. ARFs have been purified from both membrane and cytosolic fractions. ARF purified from bovine brain cytosol requires phospholipid plus detergent for high affinity guanine nucleotide binding and for optimal enhancement of cholera toxin ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. The phospholipid requirements, combined with a putative role for ARF in vesicular transport, suggested that the soluble protein might interact reversibly with membranes. A polyclonal antibody against purified bovine ARF (sARF II) was used to detect ARF by immunoblot in membrane and soluble fractions from rat pheochromocytoma (PC-12) cell homogenates. ARF was predominantly cytosolic but increased in membranes during incubation of homogenates with nonhydrolyzable GTP analogues guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate), guanylyl-(beta gamma-imido)-diphosphate, and guanylyl-(beta gamma-methylene)-diphosphate, and to a lesser extent, adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate). GTP, GDP, GMP, and ATP were inactive. Cytosolic ARF similarly associated with added phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, or cardiolipin in GTP gamma S-dependent fashion. ARF binding to phosphatidylserine was reversible and coincident with stimulation of cholera toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation. These observations may reflect a mechanism by which ARF could cycle between soluble and membrane compartments in vivo.

Two C3 ADP-ribosyltransferase substrates with different characteristics were isolated from bovine brain cytosol. Amino acid sequences of tryptic peptides from the two substrates were identical to rhoA and rhoB; hence, the purified proteins are referred to as rhoA* and rhoB*, respectively. Soluble rhoA* exhibits properties different from those previously reported for rho proteins. In contrast to other C3 substrates, rhoA* behaved as a 77-80-kDa protein on gel filtration, although on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis the ADP-ribosylated moiety had a mobility consistent with a 21.5-kDa protein. Furthermore, C3-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of rhoA* was dependent on guanine nucleotides in the presence of 1 mM Mg2+ or 1 mM EDTA (0.19 microM free Mg2+). Half-maximal stimulation by GTP, guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S), guanylyl-imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p), and GDP was observed at 16, 20, 220, and 380 nM, respectively; guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate), GMP, and adenine nucleotides were ineffective. In the presence of GTP gamma S, the rate and extent of ADP-ribosylation was enhanced by dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine and/or cholate. This increase in ADP-ribosylation was specific for rhoA*; it was not observed with rhoB* and has not been reported for other C3 substrates. These distinct properties suggest that rhoA* is a newly recognized type of C3 substrate, differing from the rhoA-like proteins previously reported. rhoB*, on the other hand, has properties similar to those reported for membrane-associated rhoB and its ADP-ribosylation was independent of guanine nucleotides in the presence of 1 mM Mg2+ and not affected by dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine and/or cholate.

The 22 kDa protein substrate of botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase C3 was purified from porcine brain cytosol by acetone precipitation, CM-Sephadex, octyl-Sepharose and TSK phenyl-5PW HPLC chromatography to apparent homogeneity. ADP-ribosylation of the protein was increased by guanine nucleotides (GTP, GDP, GTP gamma S, each 100 microM) but not by GMP, ATP or ATP gamma S. The purified 22 kDa protein bound maximally 0.9 mol [35S]GTP gamma S and hydrolyzed GTP with the rate 0.007 mol per mol protein. Amino acid sequences were obtained from two tryptic peptides, selected from an in situ digestion of Immobilon electrotransferred, gel purified ADP-ribosylated substrate. The two sequences obtained, cover 23 residues from the corresponding sequences in human rho.

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.

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).

The substrate for ADP-ribosyltransferase from Clostridium botulinum was purified from the cytosol of bovine adrenal gland. Purification procedures consisted of ammonium sulfate fractionation, chromatographies on columns of DEAE-Sepharose and phenyl-Sepharose, gel filtration on a TSK-gel G3000SW column, and Mono Q fast protein liquid chromatography. On DEAE-Sepharose chromatography, the substrate activity was eluted in two separate peaks, and electrophoretic analyses revealed that the substrates in the two peaks are of similar molecular weight but different isoelectric points. The major peak of the substrate was further purified. It was purified about 1,800-fold with a recovery of 2.2% by the above procedures. On sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the final preparation showed a single protein band at Mr 22,000. The purified protein served as a substrate for botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase and was maximally ADP-ribosylated to the extent of about 0.7 mol of ADP-ribose/mol of protein. A guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) binding activity was co-purified with the ADP-ribosylation substrate, and the purified protein maximally bound about 0.5 mol of GTP gamma S/mol. GTP gamma S binding was effectively competed by GTP and GDP but not by GMP, ATP, and ADP. Thus, the ADP-ribosylation substrate is a GTP-binding protein. This protein, designated Gb (b for botulinum), is widely distributed in various tissues. It was rich in brain, pituitary, and adrenal glands, and poor in heart, smooth, and skeletal muscles.

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.

Under pathological conditions, the mode of cell death, apoptosis or necrosis, is relevant for the subsequent fate of the tissue. Cell demise may be shaped by endogenous mediators such as nitric oxide (NO) which interfere with subroutines of the death program. Here we show that apoptosis of Jurkat cells elicited by either staurosporine (STS) or anti-CD95 antibodies in glucose-free medium is converted to necrosis by NO donors. In the presence of NO, release of mitochondrial cytochrome c was delayed and activation of execution caspases was prevented. Stimulated cells died nonetheless. The switch in the mode of cell death was due to NO-dependent failure of mitochondrial energy production. Restoration of intracellular ATP by glucose supplementation recovered the cells' ability to activate caspases and undergo apoptosis. In this system, the apoptosis/necrosis conversion promoted by NO was not mediated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate-dependent mechanisms, poly-(ADP-ribose)-polymerase (PARP) activation, or inhibition of caspases due to S-nitrosylation and glutathione depletion. In contrast, depleting intracellular ATP with rotenone, an inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I mimicked the effect of NO. The findings presented here suggest that NO can decide the shape of cell death by lowering intracellular ATP below the level required to allow the coordinated execution of apoptosis.

Extracellular recording techniques were used to study the effects of the nitric oxide releasing agents diethylamine-NO (DEA-NO) and S-nitroso-N-acetyl-penicillamine (SNAP) on synaptic transmission in the intermediate and medial part of the hyperstriatum ventrale (IMHV), a part of the domestic chick forebrain that is essential for some forms of early learning. The field response evoked by local electrical stimulation was recorded in the IMHV in an in vitro slice preparation. DEA-NO (100-200 mgr) significantly depressed the field response in a concentration dependent and reversible manner. However, the depression produced by perfusion with 400 mgr DEA-NO, was not reversed following washout of the drug. With 400 mgr DEA-NO, NO reaches a maximum concentration of 10 mgr at 2 min of perfusion, and then declines slowly. SNAP (400 mgr) produced an effect similar to 400 mgr DEA-NO. Neither the immediate nor the longer-term depressive effect of NO is mediated by activation of guanylyl cyclase because in the presence of both low and high doses of ODQ, a potent and selective inhibitor of NO-stimulated guanylyl cyclase, NO produced the same depression of the field response. There is evidence however that the IMHV possesses c-GMP responsive elements since direct perfusion of 8-Br-cGMP (1 mM) produced a long-term but not an immediate depression. The long-term depression produced by 400 mgr DEA-NO was eliminated in the presence of either a selective adenosine A(1) receptor antagonist or an ADP-ribosyltransferase inhibitor. It was also possible to prevent the long-term effect in the presence of tetraethyl ammonium a K(+)-channel blocker. These results suggest that the NO may be acting presynaptically in a synergistic fashion with the adenosine A(1) receptor to depress transmitter release.

We report the cytotoxic effects obtained in HeLa cells of three newly synthesized platinum complexes containing both an O,O'-chelated acetylacetonate ligand and a sulfur ligand in the platinum coordination sphere, which show, by (1)H NMR, negligible reactivity with purine bases. These compounds induce cell death with [Pt(O,O'-acac)(gamma-acac)(DMS)] being the most effective (IC(50)=0.98+/-0.056 and 1.82+/-0.023 microM for [Pt(O,O'-acac)(gamma-acac)(DMS)] and cisplatin, respectively). About 50% of cells died after 5h treatment with 100 microM [Pt(O,O'-acac)(gamma-acac)(DMS)] whilst a 16 h incubation was required to get the same results using 100 microM cisplatin. Cellular accumulation measurements, after treatment with equimolar drug concentrations, indicated the major lipophilicity and cellular uptake of the new compounds. While the cytotoxicity of cisplatin was due to both intracellular accumulation and DNA binding, that of [Pt(O,O'-acac)(gamma-acac)(DMS)] was associated with intracellular Pt accumulation only, since it has low reactivity to DNA in intact cells and in vitro. The reaction of the new complexes with guanosine and 5'-GMP was negligible, whereas the L-methionine instantly reacted with the initial Pt complexes. Both cisplatin and [Pt(O,O'-acac)(gamma-acac)(DMS)] induced apoptosis in HeLa cells. [Pt(O,O'-acac)(gamma-acac)(DMS)] provoked the early signs of apoptosis induction (cleavage of PARP and activation of caspases-9, -3 and -7) only 1h after addition of the drug. However, in cisplatin-treated cells, cleavage of PARP was seen after 9h with activation of caspases also proceeding more slowly. In conclusion, these results indicate that the newly synthesized platinum(II) complexes have high and rapid cytotoxic activity in vitro, and suggest that DNA may not be their primary target.
