Adenyl-32P-Labeled 3'-deoxy-NAD+ was utilized as a substrate by pure DNA-dependent poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (EC 2.4.2.30) from calf thymus in the automodification reaction with an apparent Km of 20 microM and a Vmax of 80 nmol/min/mg of protein. Analysis by lithium lauryl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed a single 32P-labeled protein of 116-kDa which comigrated with automodified enzyme. Addition of increasing amounts of histone H1 up to a concentration of 15 micrograms/ml stimulated the synthesis of protein-bound polymers of 3'-deoxy-ADP-ribose. However, the average polymer size was equal to 2 in the presence and 4 in the absence of histone H1, respectively. The synthesis of protein-bound oligomers of 3'-deoxy-ADP-ribose was inhibited by the polymerase inhibitors benzamide, nicotinamide, thymidine, and NaCl. A pulse labeling of polymer synthesis with 40 microM [32P]3'-deoxy-NAD+ either in the presence or absence of 15 micrograms/ml of histone H1, followed by a chase with 1 mM [3H]NAD+, was used to determine the mechanism of poly(ADP-ribose) elongation. Following enzyme digestion of these polymers with phosphodiesterase, it was found that 52 and 24% of the total 32P radiolabel was associated with the 3'-deoxy-AMP termini of the polymers synthesized in the pulse reactions, in the presence or absence of histone H1, respectively. In contrast, less than 10% of the total radioactivity was associated with 3'-deoxy-AMP in the product of the chase reactions. These results are consistent with the conclusion that the initially attached residue of 3'-deoxy-ADP-ribose to either the polymerase or histone H1, is elongated by the "protein-distal" addition of ADP-ribose residues to the AMP terminus of the growing polymer chain.

Exotoxin A (ETA) is recognized as the most toxic product associated with the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Identification of the amino acids in the polypeptide sequence that are required for toxin activity is critical for vaccine development. By defining the nucleotide sequence of the structural gene of a mutant that encodes an enzymatically inactive ETA (CRM 66), we identified an essential amino acid (His-426), which is involved in the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity associated with functional ETA. A monoclonal antibody that inhibits ETA enzymatic activity in vitro fails to react with ETA variants that have a His 426----Tyr substitution. Several mono-ADP-ribosylating toxins, including diphtheria and pertussis toxins, within the primary amino acid sequences carry a histidine residue that is conserved in spacing and in location with respect to other critical residues. Analysis of the three-dimensional structure of ETA revealed that His-426 is not associated with the proposed NAD+ binding site. These findings should be useful for the design and construction of toxin vaccines.

Protein-bound mono(ADP-ribose) and poly(ADP-ribose) residues were determined in mouse kidney after castration and testosterone substitution. After these treatments, the mouse kidney undergoes significant alterations in the extent and pattern of transcription without changes in the amount of DNA and nuclear protein. The amount of mono(ADP-ribose)--protein conjugates (the hydroxylamine-sensitive and -resistant subfractions) decreased by 40% after castration, and returned to normal within 1 week after daily testosterone injections. Polymeric ADP-ribose residues, which amounted to less than 0.3% of the total protein-bound monomeric ADP-ribose, increased after castration and rapidly decreased on testosterone administration. The magnitude of these effects indicates that the decrease in mono(ADP-ribose) was not caused by a shift of monomeric residues into the polymer form. Nuclear ADP-ribosyltransferase activity showed a retarded decrease after castration, reaching 60% of the control value by day 20. After testosterone injections, enzyme activity rose to normal within 3-4 days. The amounts of the substrate NAD+ as well as of NAD+ + NADH also declined after castration, and rapidly returned to values slightly above normal when the androgen was substituted. The differential response of monomeric and polymeric ADP-ribose residues to castration and testosterone treatment suggests that the two modifications serve different functions.

The nuclei of Plasmodium yoelii nigeriensis contain an enzyme, ADP-ribosyltransferase, that will incorporate the ADP-ribose moiety of NAD+ into acid-insoluble product. The time, pH and temperature optima of this incorporation are 30 min, 8.5 and 25 degrees C respectively. Maximum stimulation of the enzyme activity is obtained with 1.0 mM-dithiothreitol or 2.0 mM-2-mercaptoethanol. Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions at optimum concentrations of 5 mM and 10 mM respectively stimulated the activity of the enzyme by 21% and 91%. The enzyme activity is, however, inhibited by 24% in the presence of 10 mM-MnSO4. The substrate, NAD+, exhibits an apparent Km of 500 microM, and the activity of the enzyme is inhibited by four chemical classes of inhibitors: nicotinamides, methylxanthines, thymidine and aromatic amides. The inhibitors are effective in the following increasing order: nicotinamide less than 3-aminobenzamide less than thymidine less than 5-methylnicotinamide less than theophylline less than m-methoxybenzamide less than theobromine. The enzyme activity is also inhibited by some DNA-binding anti-malarial drugs.

Oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) in cytosol may interact with renal brush-border membranes (BBM) and inhibit BBM phosphate transport. The possible mechanism of interaction was investigated in the present study. Incubation of BBM with [adenine-3H]NAD+ led to acid-stable binding of 3H to the BBM, in contrast there was no binding of 14C when [carbonyl-14C]NAD+ was used. The data are consistent with an ADP-ribosylation mechanism involving transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD+ to BBM. This was confirmed by using [adenylate-32P]NAD+ and by the release of bound 32P in the form of 5'-[32P]AMP when the BBM were treated with snake venom phosphodiesterase. After gradient centrifugation of BBM the ADP-ribosyltransferase was recovered at the same density as known BBM enzymes, indicating that ADP-ribosyltransferase is an intrinsic BBM component and not a contaminant. These findings indicate that cytosolic NAD+ may be used for ADP-ribosylation of BBM proteins and that this may be a mechanism for regulating the BBM phosphate transport system.

In the presence of NAD+, renal brush-border membranes are mono-ADP-ribosylated by an endogenous ADP-ribosyltransferase. The reaction is inhibited by arginine methyl ester and is markedly stimulated by EDTA. Stimulation by EDTA is likely due, at least in part, to EDTA preventing the destruction of intact NAD+ by other enzymes in the brush-border membrane.

An ADP-ribosyltransferase was found in elongation factor 2 (EF-2) preparations from polyoma virus-transformed baby hamster kidney (pyBHK) cells. Like fragment A of diphtheria toxin and Pseudomonas toxin A, this eukaryotic cellular enzyme transfers [14C]adenosine from NAD+ to EF-2. However, the cellular transferase is immunologically distinct from fragment A. The transferase also can be distinguished from fragment A and Pseudomonas toxin A by the inhibition of the activity of the former by cytoplasmic extracts and by histamine. Snake venom phosphodiesterase digestion of the [14C]adenosine-labeled EF-2 product of the cellular transferase reaction yielded [14C]AMP, indicating that the cellular enzyme is a mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase. The forward ADP-ribosylation reaction catalyzed by the cellular enzyme is reversed by fragment A, yielding [14C]NAD+. The results strongly suggest that the cellular transferase is a mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase, which ADP-ribosylates the same diphthamide residue of EF-2 as does fragment A and Pseudomonas toxin A.

Mammalian fibroblasts were cultured in the presence of alpha-methylornithine and/or methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone), which inhibit the synthesis of polyamines. This led to a decrease in the cellular content of the polyamines spermine and spermidine by up to 60% when the cells were grown in the presence of both drugs together. The activity of the chromatin-associated enzyme ADP-ribosyltransferase was enhanced 2-3-fold in the drug-treated cells when measured in cells subsequently rendered permeable to exogenous NAD+, the substrate for the transferase. This is a novel and surprising observation, since the transferase is invariably activated by the addition of polyamines to a suitable incubation system such as permeabilized cells, isolated nuclei or the purified enzyme. We found no evidence that the activation was due to the appearance of DNA strand breaks, by using a variety of procedures including both neutral [the 'nucleoid' technique of Cook & Brazell [(1975) J. Cell Sci. 19, 261-279; (1976) J. Cell Sci. 22, 287-302]] and alkaline sucrose-gradient centrifugation and gel electrophoresis, suggesting that this therefore may not be the only means of regulating the activity of ADP-ribosyltransferase and that polyamines may have a role to play in this regard in vivo.

The amino-acid sequences of two diphtheria toxin-related, non-toxic proteins, CRM45 and CRM197 , were deduced from the complete sequence of their genes: tox 45 and tox 197. CRM45 lacks the last 149 C-terminal amino-acid residues, but is otherwise identical to diphtheria toxin: a single C----T transition introduces an "ochre" (TAA) termination signal in tox 45, after the codon for threonine-386. A single G----A transition was also found in tox 197, leading to the substitution of glycine-52, present in the wild-type toxin, with glutamic acid in CRM197 . This aminoacid change is responsible for the loss of the NAD:EF2 ADP-ribosyltransferase activity in CRM197 , due most probably to an alteration of the NAD+ binding site.

Cholera toxin catalyzed the ADP-ribosylation of a single plasma membrane protein (Mr 55 000) of both RL-PR-C rat hepatocytes and purified rat liver plasma membranes. Labeling of this protein from nicotinamide [2,8-3H]adenine dinucleotide was competitively inhibited by free arginine, but by no other amino acid tested, including lysine. The same protein was ADP-ribosylated from NAD+ endogenously, i.e., in the absence of toxin. This process was, however, not competitively inhibited by added arginine nor by any other amino acid tested lysine. Free ADP-ribose, even in 50-fold molar excess over the nicotinamide [2,8-3H]adenine dinucleotide substrate, did not reduce (by isotope dilution) the endogenous or cholera toxin-catalyzed labeling of the 55 000 dalton membrane protein. It is likely, therefore, that hepatocyte plasma membranes contain an ADP-ribosyltransferase, with a mechanism similar to that of the A subunit of cholera toxin, in that both transfer ADP-ribose to the same membrane protein and in that neither apparently produce free ADP-ribose as an intermediate. It is also clear that the acceptor residue in the 55 000 dalton protein is different for each process. Cholera toxin-catalyzed and endogenous transfer of ADP-ribose to the hepatocyte plasma membrane protein, in contrast to a pigeon erythrocyte system, required no cytosolic factors. The results indicate that ADP-ribosylation in cloned differentiated rat hepatocytes differs from that in pigeon erythrocytes in that the acceptor protein is larger (55 000 compared to 42 000 daltons), cytosolic factors are not required and transfer of ADP-ribose to the acceptor protein occurs endogenously.
