We purified a novel ADP-ribosyltransferase produced by a Clostridium limosum strain isolated from a lung abscess and compared the exoenzyme with Clostridium botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase C3. The C. limosum exoenzyme has a molecular weight of about 25,000 and a pI of 10.3. The specific activity of the ADP-ribosyltransferase is 3.1 nmol/mg/min with a Km for NAD of 0.3 microM. Partial amino acid sequence analysis of the tryptic peptides revealed about 70% homology with C3. The novel exoenzyme modifies selectively the small GTP-binding proteins of the rho family in human platelet membranes presumably at the same amino acid (asparagine 41) as known for C3. Recombinant rhoA and rhoB serve as substrates for C3 and the C. limosum exoenzyme. Whereas recombinant rac1 protein is only marginally ADP-ribosylated by C3 or by the C. limosum exoenzyme in the absence of detergent, in the presence of 0.01% sodium dodecyl sulfate rac1 is modified by C3 but not by the C. limosum exoenzyme. Recombinant CDC42Hs protein is a poor substrate for C. limosum exoenzyme and is even less modified by C3. The C. limosum exoenzyme is auto-ADP-ribosylated in the presence of 0.01% sodium dodecyl sulfate by forming an ADP-ribose protein bond highly stable toward hydroxylamine. The data indicate that ADP-ribosylation of small GTP-binding proteins of the rho family is not unique to C. botulinum C3 ADP-ribosyltransferase but is also catalyzed by a C3-related exoenzyme from C. limosum.

Mouse thymocytes were fractionated into heavy (subtype I, 79% of total cell number), medium (subtype II, 18%) and light (subtype III, 3%) ones by Percoll density centrifugation and they were identified as immature (subtype I and II) and mature (subtype III) thymocytes based on their proliferative response to mitogens. Whereas the nuclear activity of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (EC 2.4.2.30) in the subtype III was only one half that of denser subtypes, it increased two-fold upon mitogen stimulation. The sensitivity of three thymocyte subtypes to the dexamethasone cytotoxicity, as judged by the extent of the DNA cleavage, depletion of NAD and cell viability, was highest in the subtype I and lowest in the subtype III. The possible involvement of poly ADP-ribosylation in the apoptotic (programmed) cell death during intrathymic development of immature to mature thymocytes is discussed.

A novel enzyme activity was found in bovine brain cytosol that transfers the ADP-ribosyl moiety of NAD to proteins with Mr values of 22,000 and 25,000. The substrates were the same GTP-binding proteins serving as the substrate of an ADP-ribosyltransferase C3 which was produced by a type C strain of Clostridium botulinum. The brain enzyme was partially purified from the cytosol and had a molecular mass of approximately 20,000 on a gel filtration column. The brain endogenous enzyme displayed unique properties similar to those observed with botulinum C3 enzyme. The enzyme activity was markedly stimulated by a protein factor that had been initially found in the cytosol as an activator for botulinum C3-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation (Ohtsuka, T., Nagata, K., Iiri, T., Nozawa, Y., Ueno, K., Ui, M., and Katada, T. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 15000-15005). The activity of the brain enzyme was also affected by certain types of detergents or phospholipids. The substrate of the brain enzyme was specific for GTP-binding proteins serving as the substrate of botulinum C3 enzyme; the alpha-subunits of trimeric GTP-binding proteins which served as the substrate of cholera or pertussis toxin were not ADP-ribosylated by the endogenous enzyme. Thus, this is the first report showing an endogenous enzyme in mammalian cells that catalyzes ADP-ribosylation of small molecular weight GTP-binding proteins.

1. An ADP-ribosyltransferase activity which appears to be capable of activating adenylyl cyclase was identified in a plasma membrane fraction from rabbit corpora lutea and partially characterized by comparing the properties of the luteal transferase with those of cholera toxin. 2. Incubation of luteal membranes in the presence of GTP and varying concentrations of NAD resulted in concentration-dependent increases in adenylyl cyclase activity. 3. Stimulation of adenylyl cyclase by NAD and cholera toxin plus NAD was observed in the presence of GTP but not in the presence of guanosine-5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) or guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate. 4. NAD or cholera toxin plus NAD reduced the Kact values for luteinizing hormone to activate adenylyl cyclase 3- to 3.5-fold. 5. NAD or cholera toxin plus NAD increased the extent to which cholate extracts from luteal membranes were able to reconstitute adenylyl cyclase activity in S49 cyc- mouse lymphoma membranes. 6. It was necessary to add ADP-ribose and arginine to the incubation mixture in order to demonstrate cholera toxin-specific ADP-ribosylation of a protein corresponding to the alpha subunit of the stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory component (alpha Gs). 7. Treatment of luteal membranes with NAD prior to incubation in the presence of [32P]NAD plus cholera toxin resulted in reduced labeling of alpha Gs. 8. Endogenous ADP-ribosylation of alpha Gs was enhanced by Mg but was not altered by guanine nucleotide, NaF or luteinizing hormone and was inhibited by cAMP. 9. Incubation of luteal membranes in the presence of [32P]ADP-ribose in the absence and presence of cholera toxin did not result in the labeling of any membrane proteins.

Pertussis toxin (PT), an oligomeric exotoxin of Bordetella pertussis containing five dissimilar subunits, is considered to be an essential immunogen in acellular and component pertussis vaccines against whooping cough. A rapid single-step procedure for isolating PT subunits was developed using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Recoveries of individual subunits were 75% (S1), 70% (S2), greater than 90% (S3), greater than 90% (S4), and 50% (S5), as judged by SDS-PAGE and amino acid analysis. Lyophilized subunits were solubilized in urea followed by step-wise dialysis to remove the urea. All subunits were inactive in histamine sensitization, lymphocytosis, and hemagglutination assays. However, purified S1 retained residual NAD-glycohydrolase and ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. A partially active holotoxin could be generated by mixing the five individual subunits. All subunits were immunogenic in rabbits and mice. Monospecific antisera raised in both animal species were able to neutralize the PT-mediated clustering of Chinese hamster ovary cells, but active immunization of mice with single subunits failed to protect them in the intracerebral challenge assay. These subunit preparations therefore retained neutralizing determinants, but did not contain protective epitopes.

3-Aminobenzamide (3AB) has been used widely to inhibit the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (EC 2.4.2.30) and study the involvement of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis in DNA repair and other cellular functions. 3AB (3 mM) potentiates the cytotoxicity of 6-mercaptopurine (MP) and azathioprine in CHO-K1 cells with dose enhancement factors at 10% survival of 30-fold. In synchronized cells, 3AB is required during G1 and early S phase to obtain potentiation of MP cytotoxicity. There is a small but significant depletion of cellular NAD in MP-treated cells. As demonstrated by flow cytometric analysis, 20-40 microM MP causes an accumulation of cells in early S phase of the cell cycle. 3AB (3 mM) has no effect on cell cycle distribution; however, in the presence of MP, a similar accumulation is seen by 2-5 microM MP. 3AB and MP per se have no effect on phosphoribosylpyrophosphate levels, but coincubation causes a 30-fold increase in phosphoribosylpyrophosphate levels, reaching a maximum by 1.5 microM MP and declining to basal levels by 10 microM MP. There was a good correlation between the 3AB dose-dependent increase in cell killing and rise in phosphoribosylpyrophosphate levels.

We reported the purification and characterization of an arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase and acceptor protein p33 in granules of chicken peripheral polymorphonuclear leukocytes (heterophils) [Mishima, K., Terashima, M., Obara, S., Yamada, K., Imai, K. & Shimoyama, M. (1991) J. Biochem. (Tokyo) 110, 388-394]. In the present study, we obtained evidence that chicken non-muscle beta/gamma-actin, skeletal muscle alpha-actin and smooth-muscle gamma-actin were ADP ribosylated by the heterophil ADP-ribosyltransferase. The stoichiometry of ADP-ribose incorporation into these actins was 1.2 mol, 1.0 mol and 2.0 mol ADP-ribose/mol of beta/gamma-actin, alpha-actin and gamma-actin, respectively. The optimal pH for the ADP ribosylation was at pH 8.5, with the respective actin. Km values for NAD were calculated to be 30 microM with beta/gamma-actin, 35 microM with alpha-actin and 20 microM with gamma-actin. The Km values for the actin isoforms were 15 microM for beta/gamma-actin, 2.5 microM for alpha-actin and 10 microM for gamma-actin. ADP ribosylation of actin inhibited its capacity to polymerize, as determined by the increase in fluorescence intensity with N-(1-pyrenyl)iodoacetamide-labelled actin. Filamentous actin (F-actin) polymerized with the respective actin isoform was also ADP ribosylated, although the extent of the modification of F-actin was lower than that of globular actin (G-actin). In situ ADP ribosylation of beta/gamma-actin was evidenced with chicken peripheral heterophils permeabilized with saponin. Thus, the endogenous ADP ribosylation of actin in the heterophils may be involved in the cellular processes such as phagocytosis, secretion and migration.

Pretreatment of rho protein purified from pig brain cytosol with EDTA (3 mM) for 10 min at 30 degrees C inhibited its ADP-ribosylation by Clostridium botulinum C3 ADP-ribosyltransferase by more than 90%. The EDTA effect was not caused by alteration of C3. GDP or GDP beta S present during the pretreatment period completely prevented the decrease in ADP-ribosylation with half-maximal and maximal effects at 3 and 300 microM, respectively. GTP or GTP gamma S were less efficacious in preventing the decrease in ADP-ribosylation, but were more potent (half-maximal and maximal effects at 0.1 and 3 microM, respectively). [32P]ADP-ribose incorporated in pig brain rho by C3 was de-ADP-ribosylated by the enzyme in the presence of nicotinamide and at low pH. Concomitantly, [32P]NAD was formed. The pH optima for ADP-ribosylation and de-ADP-ribosylation were pH 7.5 and 5.5, respectively. De-ADP-ribosylation was most efficient with nicotinamide, less effective with 3-acetylpyridine and not observed with 3-aminopyridine, 4-aminopyridine, 4-acetylpyridine and isonicotinic acid. As observed for the ADP-ribosylation, the de-ADP-ribosylation by C3 was maximal with the GDP-bound form of rho and blocked after EDTA treatment.

Two enzymatic activities of the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase or transferase (ADPRT, EC 2.4.2.30), a DNA-associating abundant nuclear protein with multiple molecular activities, have been determined in HL60 cells prior to and after their exposure to 1 microM retinoic acid, which results in the induction of differentiation to mature granulocytes in 4-5 days. The cellular concentration of immunoreactive ADPRT protein molecules in differentiated granulocytes remained unchanged compared to that in HL60 cells prior to retinoic acid addition (3.17 +/- 1.05 ng/10(5) cells), as did the apparent activity of poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase of nuclei. On the other hand, the poly(ADP-ribose) synthesizing capacity of permeabilized cells or isolated nuclei decreased precipitously upon retinoic acid-induced differentiation, whereas the NAD glycohydrolase activity of nuclei significantly increased. The nuclear NAD glycohydrolase activity was identified as an ADPRT-catalyzed enzymatic activity by its unreactivity toward ethenoadenine NAD as a substrate added to nuclei or to purified ADPRT. During the decrease in in vitro poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activity of nuclei following retinoic acid treatment, the quantity of endogenously poly(ADP-ribosylated) ADPRT significantly increased, as determined by chromatographic isolation of this modified protein by the boronate affinity technique, followed by gel electrophoresis and immunotransblot. When homogenous isolated ADPRT was first ADP-ribosylated in vitro, it lost its capacity to catalyze further polymer synthesis, whereas the NAD glycohydrolase function of the automodified enzyme was greatly augmented. Since results of in vivo and in vitro experiments coincide, it appears that in retinoic acid-induced differentiated cells (granulocytes) the autopoly(ADP-ribosylated) ADPRT performs a predominantly, if not exclusively, NAD glycohydrolase function.

Trypsin digestion of pertussis toxin (PT) preferentially cleaved the S1 subunit at Arg-218 without detectable degradation of the B oligomer. The fragment produced, termed the tryptic S1 fragment, appears to remain associated with the B oligomer. Chymotrypsin digestion of PT also preferentially cleaved the S1 subunit without detectable degradation of the B oligomer. The chymotryptic S1 fragment possessed a slightly lower apparent molecular weight than the tryptic S1 fragment and was more accessible to the respective protease. Trypsin- and chymotrypsin-treated PT and PT required the presence of dithiothreitol and ATP for optimal enzymatic activity. Trypsin-treated PT showed approximately a 2-4-fold higher level of expression of ADP-ribosyltransferase and NAD-glycohydrolase activities than PT. Chymotrypsin-treated PT also exhibited approximately a 2-fold greater level of ADP-ribosyltransferase activity than PT. The observed increase in activity of protease-treated PT was due primarily to a shorter time for activation in PT mediated ADP-ribosylation of transducin. In addition, trypsin-digested PT possessed the same cytotoxic potential for Chinese hamster ovary cell clustering as PT. One possible role for the generation of a proteolytic fragment of the S1 subunit of PT would be to produce a catalytic fragment with increased efficiency for ADP-ribosylation of G proteins in vivo.
