When the homogenate prepared from immature rat testes was incubated with [32P]NAD, several proteins (90, 39 and 20 kDa) were ADP-ribosylated in the absence of bacterial toxins. This observation suggested the existence of an endogenous ADP-ribosyltransferase and substrates. The data that the digested product by phosphodiesterase of ADP-ribosylated 20 kDa protein was 5'-AMP suggested that 20 kDa protein was mono(ADP-ribosyl)ated. In addition, the mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of 20 kDa protein was enhanced by guanine nucleotides such as GTP, GDP and GTP[gamma S], and decreased by the concentrations of 10 mM Mg2+. In contrast, the incorporation of ADP-ribose moiety from NAD to both 90 and 39 kDa proteins was not changed by guanine nucleotides. On the other hand, mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of 20 kDa protein was not observed in the homogenate prepared from other tissues of the same rats. Furthermore, we found that mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of 20 kDa protein was decreased with the maturation of the rats and that an endogenous mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase and 20 kDa protein were located in the nuclei.

Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxins (LT) are responsible in part for "traveler's diarrhea" and related diarrheal illnesses. The family of LTs comprises two serogroups termed LT-I and LT-II; each serogroup includes two or more antigenic variants. The effects of LTs result from ADP ribosylation of Gs alpha, a stimulatory component of adenylyl cyclase; the mechanism of action is identical to that of cholera toxin (CT). The ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of CT is enhanced by 20-kD guanine nucleotide-binding proteins, known as ADP-ribosylation factors or ARFs. These proteins directly activate the CTA1 catalytic unit and stimulate its ADP ribosylation of Gs alpha, other proteins, and simple guanidino compounds (e.g., agmatine). Because of the similarities between CT and LTs, we investigated the effects of purified bovine brain ARF and a recombinant form of bovine ARF synthesized in Escherichia coli on LT activity. ARF enhanced the LT-I-, LT-IIa-, and LT-IIb-catalyzed ADP ribosylation of agmatine, as well as the auto-ADP ribosylation of the toxin catalytic unit. Stimulation of ADP-ribosylagmatine formation by LTs and CT in the presence of ARF was GTP dependent and enhanced by sodium dodecyl sulfate. With agmatine as substrate, LT-IIa and LT-IIb exhibited less than 1% the activity of CT and LT-Ih. CT and LTs catalyzed ADP-ribosyl-Gs alpha formation in a reaction dependent on ARF, GTP, and dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine/cholate. With Gs alpha as substrate, the ADP-ribosyltransferase activities of the toxins were similar, although CT and LT-Ih appeared to be slightly more active than LT-IIa and LT-IIb. Thus, LT-IIa and LT-IIb appear to differ somewhat from CT and LT-Ih in substrate specificity. Responsiveness to stimulation by ARF, GTP, and phospholipid/detergent as well as the specificity of ADP-ribosyltransferase activity are functions of LTs from serogroups LT-I and LT-II that are shared with CT.

We investigated the endogenous GTP-dependent ADP-ribosylation of the alpha-subunit of the stimulatory guanyl-nucleotide-binding protein (Gs alpha) concomitant with an increase of basal adenylyl cyclase activity in chicken spleen cell membranes. When these membranes were incubated with [adenylate-32P]NAD, there was significant incorporation of [32P]ADP-ribose into a 45-kDa acceptor protein in the membranes. This reaction was inhibited when 20 mM arginine was present during the incubation. When the membranes were incubated with unlabelled NAD, subsequent ADP ribosylation by cholera toxin was diminished significantly. Thus, chicken spleen cell membranes have the potential to endogenously ADP-ribosylate the arginine residue of Gs alpha. The endogenous ADP-ribosylation Gs alpha was enhanced by the addition of 0.1 mM GTP or 0.1 mM guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]), but not 0.1 mM GDP, 0.1 mM ATP or 0.1 mM ADP. The endogenous GTP-dependent ADP-ribosylation of Gs alpha stimulated basal adenylyl cyclase activity. Furthermore, NAD-induced stimulation of basal adenylyl cyclase activity was suppressed, when the membranes were incubated with NAD in the presence of novobiocin, an inhibitor of arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase. These data represent the first demonstration that a eukaryotic cell membrane contains an ADP-ribosyltransferase which can catalyze the endogenous GTP-dependent ADP-ribosylation of the arginine residue of Gs alpha and that this modification enhances basal adenylyl cyclase activity in the membrane. In light of this evidence, the possible control of basal adenylyl cyclase activity via endogenous GTP-dependent ADP-ribosylation in eukaryotic cells warrants further attention.

A GTP-binding protein with an Mr of 24,000 was purified from a cholate extract of bovine brain membranes in addition to the previously reported alpha beta gamma-trimeric GTP-binding proteins (G proteins). Partial amino acid sequence analysis of the purified 24-kDa protein revealed that it was not identical to any of the low Mr GTP-binding proteins already reported, but similar to the rac-gene products serving as the substrate of an ADP-ribosyltransferase (C3) purified from the culture medium of Clostridium botulinum type C. However, the 24-kDa protein was not ADP-ribosylated by the botulinum C3 enzyme. The 24-kDa protein was purified as a nucleotide-free form and characterized by the following unique properties distinct from those of alpha beta gamma-trimeric G proteins. (1) Mg2+ was essentially required for nucleotide binding to the 24-kDa protein; there was a progressive increase in its binding affinity for nucleotides as the concentration of the divalent cation was increased. (2) Nucleotides previously bound to the 24-kDa protein were rapidly dissociated from the protein in Mg(2+)-free medium, in accord with the fact that the protein was indeed purified as a nucleotide-free form with Mg(2+)-free solutions. (3) The 24-kDa protein apparently exhibited much lower GTPase activity than do alpha beta gamma-trimeric G proteins because the product GDP was released from the 24-kDa protein in exchange for the substrate GTP only at a very low rate. Based on these findings, a possible role of the 24-kDa protein in cellular signalling is discussed in comparison with well characterized alpha beta gamma-trimeric G proteins.

This paper reports the presence of several G proteins and light-sensitive GTP-binding proteins in the fungus Coprinus congregatus, a filamentous eukaryote. (Mono)ADP-ribosylation experiments with crude membranes in the presence of the (poly)ADP-ribosyltransferase inhibitor, 3-amino-benzamide, resulted in the detection of a cholera toxin substrate of 52 kDa and two pertussis toxin substrates, 33 and 39 kDa. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel analysis of GTP-binding proteins exposed in vivo to [35S]-labeled guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]-triphosphate in the presence or absence of light demonstrated light enhanced analog binding. These results support the concept of the involvement of G proteins in phototransduction in C. congregatus.

In the pig heart sarcolemma, a 65 kDa protein is found to be ADP-ribosylated by Clostridium botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase (exoenzyme C3). ADP-ribosylation of this protein is regulated by guanyl nucleotides and cytosol factor in a fashion similar to that for other C3 substrates. The new exoenzyme C3 substrate was partially purified. This protein is supposed to be a GTP-binding one.

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.

Bovine rod outer segment (ROS) membranes contain in addition to the heterotrimeric G protein transducin, several small GTP-binding proteins (23-27 kDa). Furthermore, these membranes contain two substrate proteins (about 22 and 24 kDa) for botulinum C3 ADP-ribosyltransferase known to ADP-ribosylate small G proteins in any mammalian cell type studied so far. Most interestingly, [32P]ADP-ribosylation of ROS membrane small G proteins by C3 is regulated by light and guanine nucleotides in a manner similar to pertussis toxin-catalyzed [32P]ADP-ribosylation of the alpha-subunit of transducin. These findings suggest that not only the heterotrimeric G protein transducin but also the C3 substrate small G proteins present in ROS membranes interact with photoexcited rhodopsin and thus contribute to its signalling action.

Activation of adenylyl cyclase by cholera toxin A subunit (CT-A) results from the ADP-ribosylation of the stimulatory guanine nucleotide binding protein (GS alpha). This process requires GTP and an endogenous guanine nucleotide binding protein known as ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF). One membrane (mARF) and two soluble forms (sARF I and sARF II) of ARF have been purified from bovine brain. Because the conditions reported to enhance the binding of guanine nucleotides by ARF differ from those observed to promote optimal activity, we sought to characterize the determinants influencing the functional interaction of guanine nucleotides with ARF. High-affinity GTP binding by sARF II (apparent KD of approximately 70 nM) required Mg2+, DMPC, and sodium cholate. sARF II, in DMPC/cholate, also enhanced CT-A ADP-ribosyltransferase activity (apparent EC50 for GTP of approximately 50 nM), although there was a delay before achievement of a maximal rate of sARF II stimulated toxin activity. The delay was abolished by incubation of sARF II with GTP at 30 degrees C before initiation of the assay. In contrast, a maximal rate of activation of toxin by sARF II, in 0.003% SDS, occurred without delay (apparent EC50 for GTP of approximately 5 microM). High-affinity GTP binding by sARF II was not detectable in SDS. Enhancement of CT-A ADP-ribosyltransferase activity by sARF II, therefore, can occur under conditions in which sARF II exhibits either a relatively low affinity or a relatively high affinity for GTP. The interaction of GTP with ARF under these conditions may reflect ways in which intracellular membrane and cytosolic environments modulate GTP-mediated activation of ARF.

In bovine aortic smooth muscle, about 50% of total GTP-binding activity was present in the cytosol fraction. A major GTP-binding protein (G protein) with a Mr value of about 21,000 (21K G) in this fraction was purified to near homogeneity and characterized. 21K G bound maximally about 0.8 mol of [35S]guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate/mol of protein with a Kd value of about 20 nM. 21K G showed GTPase activity with a turnover number of about 0.007 min-1. 21K G was ADP-ribosylated by botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase and about 0.4 mol of ADP-ribose was maximally incorporated into 1 mol of 21K G. 21K G and the bovine brain rhoA gene product (rhoA p21) were eluted at the same retention time on C4 reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography and migrated at the same positions on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. These results indicate that the major G protein in bovine aortic smooth muscle cytosol is rhoA p21.
