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.

H2O2, in concentrations achieved in the proximity of stimulated leukocytes, induces injury and lysis of target cells. This may be an important aspect of inflammatory injury of tissues. Cell lysis in two target cells, the murine macrophage-like tumor cell line P388D1 and human peripheral lymphocytes, was found to be associated with activation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (EC 2.4.2.30), a nuclear enzyme. This enzyme is activated under various conditions of DNA damage. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase utilizes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) as substrate and has been previously shown to consume NAD during exposure of cells to oxidants that was associated with inhibition of glycolysis, a decrease in cellular ATP, and cell death. In the current studies, inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase by 3-aminobenzamide, nicotinamide, or theophylline in cells exposed to lethal concentrations of H2O2 prevented the sequence of events that eventually led to cell lysis--i.e., the decrease in NAD, followed by depletion of ATP, influx of extracellular Ca2+, actin polymerization and, finally, cell death. DNA damage, the initial stimulus for poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activation, occurred despite the inhibition of this enzyme. Cells exposed to oxidant in the presence of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor 3-aminobenzamide failed to demonstrate repair of DNA strand breaks.

The participation of ADP-ribosyltransferase in Trypanosoma cruzi differentiation to the metacyclic stage was evaluated by analyzing morphogenesis blockage by specific enzyme inhibitors: benzamide, 3-aminobenzamide, theophylline, and nicotinamide. In vitro assays showed a statistically significant reduction in the number of metacyclic forms only when any one of the four inhibitors was added during the period of interaction between epimastigote and Triatoma infestans intestinal homogenate or when present throughout the subsequent culture period in Grace's medium. When nicotinamide or benzamide was present during both interaction and culture period, morphogenesis was virtually abolished (less than or equal to 2%). In the in vivo assays, mice inoculated with parasites obtained from the insect vectors fed with trypomastigote-infected blood containing one of the four enzyme inhibitors developed lower parasitemias and showed longer survival in every case, compared with the respective controls. These findings suggest ADP-ribosyltransferase participation in T. cruzi differentiation both in vitro and in vivo.

The activity of ADP-ribosyltransferase in nuclei isolated from sea-urchin embryos was estimated by the incorporation of [adenosine-14C]NAD+ into the acid-insoluble fraction. Hydrolysis of this acid-insoluble product by snake venom phosphodiesterase yielded radioactive 5'-AMP and phosphoribosyl-AMP. The incorporation of [14C]-NAD+ was inhibited by 3-aminobenzamide and nicotinamide, potent inhibitors of ADP-ribosyltransferase. [14C]NAD+ incorporation into the acid-insoluble fraction results from the reaction of ADP-ribosyltransferase. The optimum pH for the enzyme in isolated nuclei was 7.5. The enzyme, in 50 mM-Tris/HCl buffer, pH 7.5, containing 0.5 mM-NAD+ and 0.5 mM-dithiothreitol, exhibited the highest activity at 18 degrees C in the presence of 14 mM-MgCl2. The apparent Km value for NAD+ was 25 microM. The activity of the enzyme was measured in nuclei isolated from the embryos at several stages during early development. The activity was maximum at the 16-32-cell stage and then decreased to a minimum at the mesenchyme blastula stage. Thereafter its activity slightly increased at the onset of gastrulation and decreased again at the prism stage.

An affinity adsorbent for ADP-ribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.30) has been synthesized by coupling 3-aminobenzamide to Sepharose 4B. Using this material, ADP-ribosyltransferase from human placenta has been purified from crude extract to homogeneity within a few hours. The enzyme has an apparent Km for NAD+ of 52 microM. Its molecular mass is 115,000 as determined by gel electrophoresis. The enzyme is DNA dependent and stimulated by histone, its temperature optimum is at 25 degrees C, and its pH optimum is around pH 9. alpha-NAD+, thymidine, caffeine, theophylline, theobromine, 3-methoxybenzamide, and nicotinamide inhibit the enzyme. Purification of ADP-ribosyltransferases from horse, rat, and chicken liver was also achieved with the method described.

Botulinum C2 toxin is a microbial toxin which possesses ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. In human platelet cytosol a 43-kDa protein was ADP-ribosylated by botulinum C2 toxin. Labelling of the 43-kDa protein using [32P]NAD as substrate was reduced by unlabelled NAD and nicotinamide. The label was removed by treatment with snake venom phosphodiesterase. Half-maximal and maximal ADP-ribosylation occurred at 0.1 microgram/ml and 3 micrograms/ml botulinum C2 toxin, respectively. The Km value of the ADP-ribosylation reaction for NAD was about 1 microM. The peptide map of the ADP-ribosylated 43-kDa protein was almost identical with platelet actin. The ADP-ribosylated 43-kDa substrate protein bound to and was eluted from immobilized DNase I in a manner similar to G-actin. Trypsin treatment of platelet cytosol decreased subsequent ADP-ribosylation of the 43-kDa protein without occurrence of smaller labelled polypeptides. Purified platelet actin was also ADP-ribosylated by botulinum C2 toxin with similar characteristics found with actin in platelet cytosol. Phalloidin decreased the ADP-ribosylation of actin in platelet cytosol and of isolated platelet actin. Half-maximal and maximal, about 90%, reduction of actin ADP-ribosylation was observed at 0.4 microM and 10 microM phalloidin, respectively. ADP-ribosylation of purified actin, induced by botulinum C2I toxin, abolished the formation of the typical microfilament network. The data indicate that platelet G-actin but not F-actin is a substrate of botulinum C2 toxin and that this covalent modification largely affects the functional properties of actin.

ADP-ribosyltransferases from several higher eukaryotes have been purified and characterized, but little is known about ADP-ribosyltransferases in lower eukaryotes. We have purified an ADP-ribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.30) from Helix pomatia. The enzyme has an apparent Km of 26.7 microM. Optimal conditions for the enzyme reaction are 17.5 degrees C and pH 8. The time course is linear during the first 10 min of the reaction. The enzyme is capable of poly-ADP-ribosylation. The most highly purified preparation shows one major band at an Mr of 75,000 on electrophoresis in an SDS/polyacrylamide gel, with minor bands at Mr 115,000 and 155,000. Re-activation of SDS/polyacrylamide gels in situ shows the 75,000-Mr band to be enzymically active and additional active bands with Mr values of 115,000, 90,000 and 87,000 respectively. The 115,000-Mr and 75,000-Mr bands cross-react with a polyclonal affinity-purified antiserum against human ADP-ribosyltransferase. Like enzymes from higher eukaryotes, the activity from Helix pomatia is inhibited by thymidine, theophylline, theobromine nicotinamide, 3-methoxybenzamide and 3-aminobenzamide, and is dependent on histone and DNA.

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).

A novel ADP-ribosyltransferase (ADPRT) is reported from sera of both healthy human subjects (n = 25) and patients with colorectal tumors (n = 12) and breast cancer (n = 55). In sera of healthy controls (n = 25) the average ADPRT values were 250 +/- 56 picokatal/liter. ADPRT serum activities in metastatic cancer patients (n = 47) were three times higher (p less than 0.01) than in normal controls. A tumor origin of the serum ADPRT can be inferred from the statistical correlation (R = 0.74) between tumor and serum levels. The radiometric test procedure (CV 20-25%) is critically validated and kinetic properties of serum ADPRT have been studied, showing a competitive inhibition by nicotinamide, benzamide and 3-aminobenzamide. The kinetic parameters of serum ADPRT resemble those reported for nuclear ADPRT, thus indicating that serum ADPRT activity could be due to a nuclear enzyme released from the tumor cells.

The enzyme that catalyzes the ADP-ribosylation and concomitant inactivation of dinitrogenase reductase in Rhodospirillum rubrum has been purified greater than 19,000-fold to near homogeneity. We propose dinitrogenase reductase ADP-ribosyltransferase (DRAT) as the working name for the enzyme. DRAT activity is stabilized by NaCl and ADP. The enzyme is a monomer with a molecular mass of 30 kDa and is a different polypeptide than dinitrogenase reductase activating glycohydrolase. NAD (Km = 2 mM), etheno-NAD, nicotinamide hypoxanthine dinucleotide, and nicotinamide guanine dinucleotide will serve as donor molecules in DRAT-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation reaction, and dinitrogenase reductases from R. rubrum, Azotobacter vinelandii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Clostridium pasteurianium will serve as acceptors. No other proteins or small molecules, including water, have been found to be effective as acceptors. Nicotinamide is released stoichiometrically with formation of the ADP-ribosylated product. DRAT is inhibited by NaCl and has maximal activity at a pH of 7.0.
