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.

The ras oncogene products (ras p21s) are 21-KDa proteins with activities of GTP binding and hydrolysis. A number of proteins homologous to ras p21 have been discovered and collectively named small molecular weight GTP-binding proteins. These proteins undergo post-translational modification with isoprenoid residues attached to cysteine in their carboxyl terminal. With this modification, they attach to cellular membranes. The biochemical activities of these proteins, i.e., GTP hydrolysis and binding, are regulated by various regulatory factors such as GDP-GTP exchange proteins and GTPase-activating proteins, but little is known about the cellular functions and physiological pathways through which they regulate these functions. Botulinum C3 ADP-ribosyltransferase, a 23-KDa exoenzyme secreted from certain strains of types C and D Clostridium botulinum, specifically ADP-ribosylates the rho family of these GTP-binding proteins. This ADP-ribosylation occurs at a specific asparagine residue in their putative effector domain, and presumably interferes with their interaction with a putative effector molecule downstream in signal transduction. C3 exoenzyme, when incubated with or microinjected into cultured cells, ADP-ribosylates a rho gene product in the cells, and causes profound cell rounding with loss of adhesion plaques and collapse of stress fiber. Microinjection of an activated mutant of rho A protein, on the contrary, induced extensive adhesion and actin assembly in cultured cells. These results suggest that the rho family of proteins are involved in morphogenesis and motility of cells via assembly and disassembly of cytoskeletal systems, and botulinum ADP-ribosyltransferase is a useful tool for clarifying the molecular mechanism of these processes.

Pertussis toxin, a protein virulence factor produced by Bordetella pertussis, is composed of an A protomer and a B oligomer. The A protomer consists of a single polypeptide, termed the S1 subunit, which disrupts transmembrane signaling by ADP-ribosylating eukaryotic G-proteins. The B oligomer, containing five polypeptides, binds to cell receptors (most likely containing carbohydrate) and delivers the S1 subunit. Current knowledge suggests that expression of ADP-ribosyltransferase activity in target eukaryotic cells arises after 1) nucleotides and membrane lipids allosterically promote the release of the S1 subunit; and 2) the single disulfide bond in the S1 subunit is reduced by reductants such as glutathione. This model suggests conditions for the proper use of the toxin as an experimental reagent.

The role of ADP ribosylation of proteins in the physiological regulation of sporulation in Streptomyces griseus was studied. We report here that both the activity of NAD+: arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase (ADPRT) and the pattern of ADP-ribosylated proteins showed characteristic changes during the life cycle in S. griseus 2682. Analysis off ADP-ribosylated proteins revealed that in a nonsporulating mutant of the parental wild-type (wt) strain (Bld7 mutant), both the activity of ADPRT and the pattern of ADP-ribosylated proteins were different from those of the parental strain. Addition of 3-aminobenzamide (3AB), the most potent inhibitor of ADPRT, inhibited sporulation of S. griseus 2682 and the A-factor (AF)-induced sporulation of S. griseus Bld7, but in both cases the inhibitory effect of 3AB was strictly age-dependent. Using [alpha-32P]GTP, we have demonstrated the presence of GTP-binding proteins in purified cell membranes of S. griseus 2682 and S. griseus Bld7. The same GTP-binding proteins were observed in Bld7 and the wt. AF stimulated the basal GTPase activity of cell membranes of S. griseus 2682 in a concentration-dependent manner, suggesting that GTP-binding proteins might be involved in the AF-induced sporulation process.

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.

C3 ADP-ribosyltransferase is an exoenzyme produced by certain strains of Clostridium botulinum types C and D, which specifically ADP-ribosylates rho proteins in eukaryotic cells. Using the photoaffinity probe [alpha-32P]nicotinamide-2-azidoadenine dinucleotide, we have identified the adenine ring binding domain of the NAD+ binding site. The specificity of labeling was demonstrated by saturation effects and protection by the natural compound at physiologically relevant concentrations. Saturation of labeling was observed at 50 microM. Protection experiments indicated an 80% protection of labeling by 100 microM NAD+ when protein was photolyzed in the presence of 10 microM probe. Trypsin or Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease digestion of the photolabeled protein, along with boronate affinity chromatography and immobilized metal affinity chromatography, was used to specifically isolate the peptide region photolabeled with the probe. The peptide corresponded to Phe9-Gly19 near the N terminus.

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.

The influence of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) on the replication of DNA containing the SV40 origin of replication has been examined. Extensive replication of SV40 DNA can be carried out in the presence of T antigen, topoisomerase I, the multimeric human single strand DNA-binding protein (HSSB), and DNA polymerase alpha-DNA primase (pol alpha-primase) complex (the monopolymerase system). In the monopolymerase system, both small products (Okazaki fragments), arising from lagging strand synthesis, and long products, arising from leading strand synthesis, are formed. The synthesis of long products requires the presence of relatively high levels of pol alpha-primase complex. In the presence of PARP, the synthesis of long products was blocked and only small Okazaki fragments accumulated, arising from the replication of the lagging strand template. The inhibition of leading strand synthesis by PARP can be effectively reversed by supplementing the monopolymerase system with the multimeric activator 1 protein (A1), the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and PCNA-dependent DNA polymerase delta (the dipolymerase system). The inhibition of leading strand synthesis in the monopolymerase system was caused by the binding of PARP to the ends of DNA chains, which blocked their further extension by pol alpha. The selective accumulation of Okazaki fragments was shown to be due to the coupled synthesis of primers by DNA primase and their immediate extension by pol alpha complexed to primase. PARP had little effect on this coupled reaction, but did inhibit the subsequent elongation of products, presumably after pol alpha dissociated from the 3'-end of the DNA fragments. PARP inhibited several other enzymatic reactions which required free ends of DNA chains. PARP inhibited exonuclease III, DNA ligase, the 5' to 3' exonuclease, and the elongation of primed DNA templates by pol alpha. In contrast, PARP only partly competed with the elongation of primed DNA templates by the pol delta elongation system which required SSB, A1, and PCNA. These results suggest that the binding of PARP at the ends of nascent DNA chains can be displaced by the binding of A1 and PCNA to primer ends. HSSB can be poly(ADP-ribosylated) in vivo as well as in vitro. However, the selective effect of PARP in blocking leading strand synthesis in the monopolymerase system was shown to depend primarily on its DNA binding property rather than on its ability to synthesize poly(ADP-ribose).

Exposure of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells to 5-azacytidine for 5 h resulted in a partial loss of ability of DNA to stimulate ADP-ribosyltransferase activity, as assessed in a reconstituted in vitro enzyme system consisting of purified calf thymus enzyme, calf thymus whole histone and DNA isolated from the cells. The degree of suppression in vitro varied depending on the amount of histone and DNA added and it reached a maximum with a value of 83% and 62% of control for DNAs from cells exposed to 10 microM and 30 microM 5-azacytidine, respectively, at a histone/DNA mass ratio of 0.4. In the absence of histone (conditions of auto-ADP-ribosylation of the enzyme), no suppression was detectable.
