A single administration of 5-azacytidine (5-ACR) to partially hepatectomized rats 24 h following operation resulted in a dose-dependent reduction of nuclear ADP-ribosyltransferase (ADPRT) activity in the liver, when assayed after the nuclei were isolated 22 h after injection. No such a suppression by 5-ACR was observed in the liver of intact rats. Cytidine, a known agent which prevents the incorporation of 5-ACR into DNA, abolished the suppression of ADPRT, when it was given in combination with 5-ACR. The 5-ACR suppressed nuclei from regenerating liver showed no decreased DNA methylating activity, as estimated from the rate of radiolabel transfer from [methyl-3H]SAM to the bulk DNA. The methylation of nuclear RNA and protein was markedly reduced. These results suggest that the incorporation of 5-ACR into nucleic acids inactivates chromatin-bound ADPRT without inhibition of DNA methylation.

Poly(ADP ribose) polymerase (EC 2.4.2.30) was studied using monoclonal antibodies for three different epitopes on the enzyme. The epitopes were mapped in relation to the functional domains of the protein and the inhibitory properties of the antibodies. The intranuclear and interspecies immunoreactivity of the enzyme was also investigated. The epitope of antibody 2 was mapped to the 17 kDa fragment generated by chymotryptic digestion of the C-terminal 54 kDa NAD-binding domain. Antibody 9 binds to the N-terminal 29 kDa fragment of the DNA binding domain and inhibits the enzyme activity by 80%. This antibody was used to purify poly(ADP ribose) polymerase by immunoaffinity chromatography. The third antibody binds to a central 36 kDa fragment that possesses part of the DNA-binding domain and the automodification domain. This antibody increases the enzymatic activity by 30%. An analysis of the species cross-reactivity of the antibodies was carried out by immunoblot analysis of nuclear proteins. Antibody 10 binding was detected in rat FR3T3 cells, Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) and epidermoid carcinoma lung human cells (CALU-1). The other two antibodies are specific for the human and bovine enzymes. Western blot analysis showed the association of poly(ADP ribose) polymerase with residual nuclear material obtained after nuclease treatment and high-salt extraction. Immunofluorescence studies with the three different monoclonals demonstrated that accessibility of the epitopes varies in the nucleus.

A non-histone acceptor protein for hen liver nuclear ADP-ribosyltransferase was purified to an apparently homogeneous state through salt extraction and chromatography on hydroxyapatite, phenyl-Sepharose, carboxy-methyl-cellulose, Sephadex G-75, phenyl 5-PW, mono S and Radial PAK C18. This protein was termed p33. The ADP-ribosylation of p33 was enhanced more than 60-fold by double-stranded DNA. Single-stranded DNA, RNA and poly(L-glutamate), but not deoxyribonucleotide, were partially effective. DNA-dependent ADP-ribosylation was also observed when whole histones were used as acceptor. DNA required for the maximal ADP-ribosylation depended on the dose of the acceptor protein; the optimal mass ratio of DNA to the acceptor protein was 1:1 with both p33 and whole histones. DNA decreased the Km for NAD and concomitantly increased the Vmax value, but did not alter the Km for p33. These results are consistent with the idea that p33 may participate in chromatin processes such as replication or transcription, through modification by nuclear ADP-ribosyltransferase.

The nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (EC 2.4.2.30) participates in DNA excision repair by post-translational selfmodification ("automodification") and the modification of other chromatin proteins ("heteromodification") with ADP-ribose polymers. We have studied the molecular mechanism of these reactions in a reconstituted in vitro system. After activation by DNA, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase produces polymers with a distinct size pattern. These polymers are attached to a small subfraction of enzyme molecules. As the reaction progresses, more enzyme molecules are recruited for modification with an identical polymer size pattern. Likewise, the auto- and heteromodification reaction in nucleosomal core particles involves the consecutive addition of a highly conserved polymer size pattern to the acceptor proteins. Thus, a highly conserved polymer size pattern may constitute the molecular signal priming chromatin proteins for a role in DNA excision repair in vivo. The priming reaction is processive.

The mechanism for "NH4+ switch-off/on" of nitrogenase activity in Azospirillum brasilense and A. lipoferum was investigated. A correlation was established between the in vivo regulation of nitrogenase activity by NH4Cl or glutamine and the reversible covalent modification of dinitrogenase reductase. Dinitrogenase reductase ADP-ribosyltransferase (DRAT) activity was detected in extracts of A. brasilense with NAD as the donor molecule. Dinitrogenase reductase-activating glycohydrolase (DRAG) activity was present in extracts of both A. brasilense and A. lipoferum. The DRAG activity in A. lipoferum was membrane associated, and it catalyzed the activation of inactive nitrogenase (by covalent modification of dinitrogenase reductase) from both A. lipoferum and Rhodospirillum rubrum. A region homologous to R. rubrum draT and draG was identified in the genomic DNA of A. brasilense as a 12-kilobase EcoRI fragment and in A. lipoferum as a 7-kilobase EcoRI fragment. It is concluded that a posttranslational regulatory system for nitrogenase activity is present in A. brasilense and A. lipoferum and that it operates via ADP-ribosylation of dinitrogenase reductase as it does in R. rubrum.

Arginine-specific mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation and de-ADP-ribosylation reactions of endogenous acceptor proteins were examined using human neutrophils. The cells contained arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase, acceptor proteins and hydrolase catalyzing the release of ADP-ribose from the ADP-ribose/acceptor conjugate. One major acceptor protein with an apparent molecular mass of 27 kDa was detected in the neutrophils. The ADP-ribosylation of this protein was greatly enhanced when double-stranded DNA was added. The release of ADP-ribose from the ADP-ribosyl core-histones was suppressed. These findings provide clues as to the physiological function of neutrophil ADP-ribosyltransferase.

Human nuclear NAD+: protein ADP-ribosyltransferase(polymerizing) [pADPRT; poly(ADP-ribose)poly-merase; EC 2.4.2.30] is a DNA-dependent protein-modifying enzyme composed of several domains important for DNA binding, automodification, and NAD binding. We report that the human pADPRT gene is 43 kb in length and is split into 23 exons. All the intron-exon boundaries correspond to a canonical splice consensus sequence. Each of the four metal coordinating sites putatively forming the two zinc fingers of the DNA-binding domain is encoded separately. The automodification domain and the NAD-binding domain are coded for by 4 and 12 exons, respectively.

Hepatic poly(ADP ribose) polymerase (EC 2.4.2.30) activity as an indicator of DNA damage was measured in rats fed a low methionine, choline-devoid diet (MCD) for a 3-wk period. Additional groups of rats were either injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with large doses of nicotinamide (NAM) or saline or fed the MCD diet without folic acid (MCFD). As a positive control, some rats were fed the MCD diet supplemented with methionine and choline (MCD + Met). In all groups of methyl donor-deficient rats and associated with increases in hepatic lipid levels, hepatic malondialdehyde concentrations were found to be increased. This observation is evidence for the occurrence of lipid peroxidation in methyl donor deficiency. Methyl donor deficiency was also associated with a significantly elevated hepatic poly(ADP ribose) polymerase activity in all groups of rats as compared to the positive control, suggesting a stimulation of DNA repair processes. The highest enzyme activity was observed in the MCD-NAM i.p. group.

The structural gene of the S-1 subunit of pertussis toxin (rS-1) and the catalytic C180 peptide of the S-1 subunit (C180 peptide) were independently subcloned downstream of the tac promoter in Escherichia coli. Both constructions included DNA encoding for the predicted leader sequence of the S-1 subunit which was inserted between the tac promoter and the structural gene. E. coli containing the plasmids encoding for rS-1 and C180 peptide produced a peptide that reacted with anti-pertussis toxin antibody and had a molecular weight corresponding to that of the cloned gene; some degradation of rS-1 was observed. Extracts of E. coli containing plasmids encoding for rS-1 and the C180 peptide possessed ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. Subcellular fractionation showed that both rS-1 and the C180 peptide were present in the periplasm, indicating that E. coli recognized the pertussis toxin peptide leader sequence. The protein sequence of the amino terminus of the C180 peptide was identical to that of authentic S-1 subunit produced by Bordetella pertussis, which showed that E. coli leader peptidase correctly processed the pertussis toxin peptide leader sequence. Two single amino acid substitutions at residue 26 (C180I-26) and residue 139 (C180S-139) which were previously shown to reduce ADP-ribosyltransferase activity were introduced into the C180 peptide. C180I-26 possessed approximately 1% of the NAD-glycohydrolase activity of the C180 peptide, suggesting that tryptophan 26 functions in the interaction of NAD with the C180 peptide. In contrast, C180S-139 possessed essentially the same level of NAD-glycohydrolase activity as the C180 peptide, suggesting that glutamic acid 139 does not function in the interaction of NAD but plays a role in a later step in the ADP-ribosyltransferase reaction.

The interleukin 2-diphtheria toxin-related fusion protein (IL-2-toxin) rapidly inhibits protein synthesis in IL-2 receptor (IL-2R)-bearing phytohemagglutinin-activated T cells but transiently stimulates DNA synthesis. At 7 hr after interaction with IL-2R+ phytohemagglutinin-activated T cells, IL-2-toxin-treated cells bear augmented steady-state levels of c-myc, interferon gamma, and IL-2R mRNA; these effects are indistinguishable from those produced by recombinant IL-2. Amplification of IL-2 sequences by the polymerase chain reaction reveals an increased level of IL-2 mRNA in cell cultures treated with recombinant IL-2, IL-2-toxin, and cycloheximide. These results suggest that IL-2-toxin can affect de novo IL-2 gene transcription/mRNA stabilization through independent mechanisms exerted by both the IL-2R binding domain and ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of the fusion protein. After 20 hr of culture, IL-2R mRNA was markedly decreased in both IL-2-toxin- and cycloheximide-treated phytohemagglutinin-activated T cells. Although interaction of IL-2-toxin with IL-2R+ T cells initially mimics the stimulatory effects of IL-2 upon c-myc, interferon gamma, IL-2R, and IL-2 gene expression, the consequences of inhibition of protein synthesis mediated by the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of the toxin dominate after 7 hr and are indistinguishable from those effects mediated by cycloheximide.
