ADP-ribosylation of histones and non-histone nuclear proteins was studied in isolated nuclei during the naturally synchronous cell cycle of Physarum polycephalum. Aside from ADP-ribosyltransferase (ADPRT) itself, histones and high mobility group-like proteins are the main acceptors for ADP-ribose. The majority of these ADP-ribose residues is NH2OH-labile. ADP-ribosylation of the nuclear proteins is periodic during the cell cycle with maximum incorporation in early to mid G2-phase. In activity gels two enzyme forms with Mr of 115,000 and 75,000 can be identified. Both enzyme forms are present at a constant ratio of 3:1 during the cell cycle. The higher molecular mass form cannot be converted in vitro to the low molecular mass form, excluding an artificial degradation during isolation of nuclei. The ADPRT forms were purified and separated by h.p.l.c. The low molecular mass form is inhibited by different ADPRT inhibitors to a stronger extent and is the main acceptor for auto-ADP-ribosylation. The high molecular mass form is only moderately auto-ADP-ribosylated.

Cholera toxin catalyzed the ADP-ribosylation of the pituitary protein hormones thyrotropin (TSH), lutropin (LH), follitropin (FSH), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and corticotropin (ACTH)1-24, and ADP-ribosylation of the basic proteins histone subfraction H1 and protamine. Casein and phosvitin, acidic nuclear proteins, did not act as acceptors for toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation. The isolated TSH A and B subunits were tested for their ADP-ribose acceptor activity. The TSH A subunit showed fourfold greater ADP-ribose acceptor activity than the TSH B subunit. The ADP-ribose acceptor protein protamine was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis following incubation with cholera toxin under ADP-ribosylating conditions. [3H]ADP-ribose incorporated into protein from [3H]NAD migrated with the acceptor protein protamine. In the absence of added acceptor protein, the [3H]ADP-ribose incorporated into protein migrated with the A1 fragment of cholera toxin. Cholera toxin A and B subunits were isolated and tested for their ability to catalyze the transfer of ADP-ribose to protamine. The cholera toxin A subunit showed 50-fold greater ADP-ribosyltransferase activity than the B subunit. Our data indicate that a variety of adenohypophyseal hormones and regulatory proteins act as acceptors for toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation. These studies may help in understanding the role of endogenous ADP-ribosyltransferases and the physiological effects of this modification of protein.

An ADP-ribosyltransferase from turkey erythrocytes, which catalyzes the mono(ADP-ribosylation) of guanidino compounds such as arginine and of many purified and crude cellular proteins, appears to exist both in high-activity, histone-independent and low-activity, histone-dependent forms. At low salt concentrations, the activity of the transferase with agmatine as acceptor was less than 10% that observed in the presence of 200 mM NaCl. In the absence of salts, ADP-ribosylation of agmatine was stimulated greater than 10-fold by histones, and activity approached that observed with high salt concentration; under these conditions, the histones did not serve as ADP-ribose acceptors themselves. Histone also activated the highly purified ADP-ribosyltransferase from human erythrocytes. Enzyme activity was increased in the presence of salt and was then relatively independent of histones. DNA was not required for the stimulation of ADP-ribosylation by histone; incubation of the transferase and histone with DNase did not significantly decrease enzymatic activity. Additional DNA in the assay decreased the effect of histone. The erythrocyte ADP-ribosyltransferase from diverse species thus appears to exist in two forms: one is dependent on histones for activity and one which, in the presence of salt, has high intrinsic activity and is independent of histone. The fact that the active forms of the transferase generated in the presence of salt or histone have similar catalytic activity suggests that these forms of transferase may be identical. It would appear that the enzymatic activity of transferase from different species may be controlled by histones.

[adenine-U-14C]ADP-ribose-agmatine and [adenine-U-14C ))ADP-ribose-histone were synthesized by an NAD:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase from [14C]NAD and agmatine and histone, respectively. The pseudo-first order rate constants for breakdown of the two components either in 0.4 N NaOH or in 0.4 M neutral hydroxylamine were identical. Hydroxylamine treatment of [14C]ADP-ribose-agmatine or [32P]ADP-ribose-histone yielded a single radioactive product which was separated by high pressure liquid chromatography and identified as ADP-ribose-hydroxamate by the formation of a ferric chloride complex. Hydrolysis of ADP-ribose-hydroxamate with snake venom phosphodiesterase resulted in the formation of 5'-AMP, consistent with the presence of a pyrophosphate bond. Incubation of ADP-ribose-[14C]agmatine, synthesized by the ADP-ribosyltransferase from NAD and [14C]agmatine, with 0.4 M neutral hydroxylamine resulted in the release of [14C]agmatine rather than phosphoribosyl[14C]agmatine. In addition, neither NAD nor ADP-ribose reacts with hydroxylamine; i.e. there was no evidence of nucleophilic attack by hydroxylamine at the pyrophosphate bond. The ADP-ribosyl-protein linkage formed by the NAD:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase is considerably more stable to hydroxylamine than is the ADP-ribose-glutamate bond. The presence of ADP-ribose-arginine and ADP-ribose-glutamate synthesized by the ADP-ribosyltransferase and poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase, respectively, may be the chemical basis for the "hydroxylamine-stable" and "hydroxylamine-labile" bonds described by Hilz (Hilz, H. (1981) Hoppe-Seyler's Z. Physiol. Chem. 362, 1415-1425).

Two NAD: arginine ADP-ribosyltransferases (transferase "A" and "B") were identified in turkey erythrocytes and purified to homogeneity. Both transferases in the presence of NAD catalyzed the ADP-ribosylation of arginine, other low molecular weight guanidino compounds and proteins. ADP-ribosyltransferase A was activated by chaotropic salt or histone. Activation was associated with the disaggregation of an inactive, rapidly sedimenting, high molecular weight species to a protomeric form of approximately 28,000 daltons; this protomer in equilibrium aggregate transition was rapidly reversible. In the presence of salt, the Km's for NAD and arginine methyl ester were 15 microM and 1.3 mM, respectively; the turnover number for the purified enzyme was approximately 9,900 mol X min-1 X mol enzyme-1. ADP-ribosyltransferase B exhibited a substrate specificity clearly distinct from that of transferase A. Transferase B had a Mr of 32,000, slightly larger than that of the transferase A protomer. The activity of transferase B was unaffected by histone and inhibited by chaotropic salts; its Km's for NAD and arginine methyl ester of 36 microM and 3 mM, respectively, were similar to those obtained with transferase A. These studies are consistent with the presence of two different NAD: arginine ADP-ribosyltransferases in turkey erythrocytes exhibiting distinct kinetic, regulatory, and physical properties.

The activity of an NAD:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase was stimulated 4-6-fold by lysolecithin; lysolecithins containing long-chain fatty acids such as stearoyl (C18) and palmitoyl (C16) were more effective than those with shorter chains: C14 greater than C12 greater than C10 congruent to C8. The analogue lacking a fatty acid at C-1, alpha-glycerophosphocholine, was inactive as were choline, lysophosphatidic acid, lysophosphatidylserine, lysophosphatidylglycerol, lysophosphatidylethanolamine, lecithin, phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidylethanolamine. Activation of the transferase was, however, also observed with certain nonionic (e.g., Triton X-100) and zwitterionic [3-[ ( cholamidopropyl ) dimethylammonio ]-1-propanesulfonate] detergents. The transferase was shown previously to be stimulated by chaotropic salts or histones; in the presence of maximally effective concentrations of lysolecithin, salt, and histone, the activity was similar to that observed in the presence of histone or salt alone. Maximal activation by lysolecithin and detergents was less than that observed with either salt or histone. It appears that activation by lysolecithin shows significant differences from that observed previously with histones or salt and can be mimicked by certain nonionic and zwitterionic detergents.

Poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase has been purified about 12 300-fold from pig thymus with a recovery of 8.5%. The specific activity of the purified enzyme is 13.8 mumol min -1 mg protein -1. The molecular weight was estimated to be 59 000 by gel filtration through Sephadex G-100 in a non-denaturing solvent. Analysis of the final preparation by sodium dodecyl sulphate gel electrophoresis reveals two protein bands of molecular weight, 61 500 and 67 500. The Km value for poly(ADP-ribose) is estimated to be 1.8 microM monomer units. The enzyme preparation is free from phosphodiesterase, NADase and ADP-ribosyltransferase activities. The purified enzyme is inhibited by cyclic AMP, ADP-ribose, naphthylamine, histones H1, H2A, H2B, H3, polylysine, polyarginine, polyornithine and protamine. The inhibition by histone is relieved by an equal mass of DNA. Single-stranded DNA, poly(A), poly(I) and polyvinyl sulphate were inhibitory, but double-stranded DNA was not inhibitory.

An ADP-ribosyltransferase from turkey erythrocytes which utilizes proteins and low molecular weight guanidino compounds such as arginine and agmatine as ADP-ribose acceptors was stimulated by histones. The effect was specific in that choleragen, a bacterial mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase that increased adenylate cyclase activity in animal cells, was not activated by histones. With the erythrocyte enzyme, histones decreased the apparent Km values for arginine methyl ester and agmatine and increased the stability of the transferase to thermal denaturation. Activation of the transferase by histones was rapid, with a minimal delay observed upon addition of histones to a histone-free assay. Activation by histones was reversed upon dilution of a sample containing histones into an assay mix free of histone. In the absence of histone, the transferase existed as a rapidly sedimenting species; in the presence of histone, the transferase sedimented as a protomer.

Despite extensive research, the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is still unclear. Immunological disorders have been described in patients with both Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). In this work serum samples collected from 58 patients with CD and 55 patients with UC were tested in ELISA against a panel of nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins and peptides in order to determine whether specific autoantibodies are produced in these patients. Low levels of IgG antibodies to histones H1, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, to Hsp-70 and ubiquitin stress proteins, Ro/SSA and La/SSB proteins and myosin were detected in some of these sera. In contrast, the following antibodies of IgG isotype could be much more frequently demonstrated: antibodies to ubiquitinated H2A (U-H2A) peptide T4 (51.7% in CD; 18.2% in UC), antibodies to the zinc-finger peptide F2 of poly-(ADP-ribose polymer)ase (PARP) involved in DNA repair (58.6% in CD; 25.5% in UC) and actin antibodies (43.1% in CD; 7.3% in UC). In a follow-up study of 12 patients with CD and UC (75 additional samples), we found IgG antibodies to several histone peptides occurring essentially in the serum of patients with CD. Although we found no obvious correlation between the presence or level of these various antibodies and C-reactive protein, or the location of the disease, in a number (but not all) of patients, we observed a strikingly good relationship between antibodies to histone peptides, U-H2A peptide T4, and PARP peptide F2 and the Crohn's disease activity index. The mechanism of induction of these antibodies still remains obscure.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

ADP-ribosylation of proteins has been observed in numerous animal tissues including chicken heterophils, rat brain, human platelets, and mouse skeletal muscle. ADP-ribosylation in these tissues is thought to modulate critical cellular functions such as muscle cell development, actin polymerization, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte proliferation. Specific substrates of the ADP-ribosyltransferases have been identified; the skeletal muscle transferase ADP-ribosylates integrin alpha 7 whereas the chicken heterophil enzyme modifies the heterophil granule protein p33 and the CTL enzyme ADP-ribosylates the membrane-associated protein p40. Transferase sequence has been determined which should assist in elucidating the role of ADP-ribosylation in cells. There is sequence similarity among the vertebrate transferases and the rodent RT6 alloantigens. The RT6 family of proteins are NAD glycohydrolases that have been shown to possess auto-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity whereas the mouse Rt6-1 is also capable of ADP-ribosylating histone. Absence of RT6+ T cells has been associated with the development of an autoimmune-mediated diabetes in rodents. Humans have an RT6 pseudogene and do not express RT6 proteins. The reversal of ADP-ribosylation is catalyzed by ADP-ribosylarginine hydrolases, which have been purified and cloned from rodent and human tissues. In principle, the transferases and hydrolases could form an intracellular ADP-ribosylation regulatory cycle. In skeletal muscle and lymphocytes, however, the transferases and their substrates are extracellular membrane proteins whereas the hydrolases described thus far are cytoplasmic. In cultured mouse skeletal muscle cells, processing of the ADP-ribosylated integrin alpha 7 was carried out by phosphodiesterases and possibly phosphatases, leaving a residual ribose attached to the (arginine)protein. Several bacterial toxin and eukaryotic mono-ADP-ribosyltransferases, and perhaps other NAD-utilizing enzymes such as the RT6 alloantigens share regions of amino acid sequence similarity, which form, in part, the catalytic site. The catalytic cleft, found in the bacterial toxins that have been studied thus far, contains a critical glutamate and other amino acids that function to position NAD for nucleophilic attack at the N-glycosidic linkage, for either ADP-ribose transfer or NAD hydrolysis. Amino acid differences among the transferases at the active site may be required for accommodating the different ADP-ribose acceptor molecules.
