Post-translational modifications are important in regulating the functions of signal proteins. This is well established for intracellular proteins, but little is known in the case of extracellular domains of cell surface molecules. We recently described a cell surface protein, mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase (ADPRT), on cytotoxic T cells and showed that it mediates attachment of ADP-ribose to cell surface proteins. Concomitantly, cytolytic activity and cell proliferation are inhibited. Here we report that one of the principal proteins modified by this enzyme is lymphocyte function-associated molecule-1 (LFA-1). While both chains are ADP-ribosylated on the extracellular domain of the molecule, persistence of the modification differs between the chains. Label is released from the beta-chain by 1 h, yet remains for at least 6 h on the alpha-chain. Loss of label is suppressed by phosphodiesterase inhibitors such as ADP-ribose and p-nitrophenylthymidine 5'-monophosphate, pointing to the involvement of this class of enzyme. Modification of LFA-1 requires expression of the cell surface ADPRT and causes the loss of epitopes recognized by alpha- and beta-chain-specific Abs. Concomitantly, the generation of inositol phosphates induced by Ab cross-linking of LFA-1 is significantly inhibited. Consistent with this effect, anti-LFA-1-induced homotypic cell adhesion is also inhibited. These effects are not seen in cells from which the ADPRT was removed by phospholipase C. Moreover, cells lacking the cell surface ADPRT are not inhibited by NAD in the cell adhesion assay, but gain this property upon transfection with the ADPRT gene. It is concluded that the cell surface protein mono-ADPRT regulates LFA-1 functions.

Autotaxin (ATX) is an extracellular enzyme and an autocrine motility factor that stimulates pertussis toxin-sensitive chemotaxis in human melanoma cells at picomolar to nanomolar concentrations. This 125-kDa glycoprotein contains a peptide sequence identified as the catalytic site in type I alkaline phosphodiesterases (PDEs), and it possesses 5'-nucleotide PDE (EC 3.1.4.1) activity (Stracke, M. L., Krutzsch, H. C., Unsworth, E. J., Arestad, A., Cioce, V., Schiffmann, E., and Liotta, L. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 2524-2529; Murata, J., Lee, H. Y., Clair, T., Krutsch, H. C., Arestad, A. A., Sobel, M. E., Liotta, L. A., and Stracke, M. L. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 30479-30484). ATX binds ATP and is phosphorylated only on threonine. Thr210 at the PDE active site of ATX is required for phosphorylation, 5'-nucleotide PDE, and motility-stimulating activities (Lee, H. Y., Clair, T., Mulvaney, P. T., Woodhouse, E. C., Aznavoorian, S., Liotta, L. A., and Stracke, M. L. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 24408-24412). In this article we report that the phosphorylation of ATX is a transient event, being stable at 0 degrees C but unstable at 37 degrees C, and that ATX has adenosine-5'-triphosphatase (ATPase; EC 3.6.1.3) and ATP pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6.1.8) activities. Thus ATX catalyzes the hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond on either side of the beta-phosphate of ATP. ATX also catalyzes the hydrolysis of GTP to GDP and GMP, of either AMP or PPi to Pi, and the hydrolysis of NAD to AMP, and each of these substrates can serve as a phosphate donor in the phosphorylation of ATX. ATX possesses no detectable protein kinase activity toward histone, myelin basic protein, or casein. These results lead to the proposal that ATX is capable of at least two alternative reaction mechanisms, threonine (T-type) ATPase and 5'-nucleotide PDE/ATP pyrophosphatase, with a common site (Thr210) for the formation of covalently bound reaction intermediates threonine phosphate and threonine adenylate, respectively.

Mono-ADP-ribosylation in mammals is poorly understood. In this study, we found mono-ADP-ribosylated actin in rat brains. Mono-ADP-ribosylated actin by ADP-ribosyltransferase or nonenzymatic reaction was shown at a different position from the unmodified actin in the isoelectrical focusing. High-pressure liquid chromatography utilizing a reverse phase (ODS) column separated ADP-ribosylated actin from unmodified actin. In the two-dimensional gel electrophoreses and high-pressure liquid chromatography, the endogenously ADP-ribosylated actin was detected in the supernatant fraction from the rat brain extract, where a nonpolymerizing actin was present after removal of the polymerizing actin. The concentration of NAD and ADP-ribose, after microwave irradiation, was 220 nmol and 150 nmol/g of rat brain tissue. Actin ADP-ribosylated by purified ADP-ribosyltransferase failed to form actin filaments after the addition of Mg2+. Actin ADP-ribosylated by the nonenzymatic reaction could polymerize with the addition of Mg2+. The enzymatically modified actin could form actin filaments after treatment with ADP-ribosylhydrolase but not after treatment with phosphodiesterase. These results suggest that ADP-ribosylated actin by enzymatic or nonenzymatic reaction is one of the sequestering factors in actin-actin binding and is a part of the actin pool in the rat brain.

In eukaryotic cells, pre-tRNAs spliced by a pathway that produces a 3',5'-phosphodiester, 2'-phosphomonoester linkage contain a 2'-phosphate group adjacent to the tRNA anticodon. This 2'-phosphate is transferred to NAD to give adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose 1", 2"-cyclic phosphate (Appr>p), which is subsequently metabolized to ADP-ribose 1"-phosphate (Appr-1"p). The latter reaction is catalyzed by a cyclic phosphodiesterase (CPDase), previously identified in yeast and wheat. In the work presented here, we describe cloning of the Arabidopsis cDNA encoding the 20-kDa CPDase that hydrolyzes Appr>p to Appr-1"p. Properties of the bacterially overexpressed and purified Arabidopsis enzyme are similar to those of wheat CPDase. In addition to their transformation of Appr>p, both enzymes hydrolyze nucleoside 2',3'-cyclic phosphates to nucleoside 2'-phosphates. For the Arabidopsis CPDase, the apparent Km values for Appr>p, A>p, C>p, G>p, and U>p are 1.35, 1.34, 2.38, 16.86, and 17.67 mM, respectively. Southern analysis indicated that CPDase in Arabidopsis is encoded by a single copy gene that is expressed, at different levels, in all Arabidopsis organs that were analyzed. Indirect immunofluorescence, performed with transfected protoplasts, showed that CPDase is localized in the cytoplasm. Based on substrate specificity and products generated, the plant enzyme differs from other known cyclic phosphodiesterases. The Arabidopsis CPDase does not have recognizable structural similarity or motifs in common with proteins deposited in public data bases.

A membrane-associated arginine-specific mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase was purified 215,000-fold from rabbit skeletal muscle and its gene was isolated from a skeletal muscle cDNA library. The enzyme was a glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol-linked protein, present on the surface of differentiated skeletal muscle myoblasts (myotubes). Following incubation of cultured, intact myotubes with [adenylate-32P]NAD and analysis by SDS-PAGE, a major radiolabeled protein of 97/140 kDa (reduced/nonreduced conditions) was observed. It was identified as integrin alpha 7 based on its size, binding to a laminin affinity column, immunoprecipitation with a monoclonal antibody, and partial amino acid sequencing. Since ADP-ribosylarginine hydrolase, the enzyme responsible for cleavage of the ADP-ribosylarginine bond and a component with the transferase of a putative ADP-ribosylation cycle, is cytosolic, whereas the transferase is attached via a GPI-anchor to the cell surface, the processing of ADP-ribosylated integrin alpha 7 was investigated. 32P label was rapidly removed from [32P]ADP-ribosylated integrin alpha 7, a process inhibited by free ADP-ribose or p-nitrophenylthymidine-5'-monophosphate, alternative substrates for 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase. The processed integrin alpha 7 was not susceptible to subsequent ADP-ribosylation, although the amount of surface integrin alpha 7 remained constant. During the processing, no loss of label was observed from integrin alpha 7 radiolabeled with [14C]NAD, containing 14C in the nicotinamide-proximal ribose, consistent with a degradation of the ADP-ribose moiety by a cell surface 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase. Thus, cell surface ADP-ribosylation, in contrast to intracellular ADP-ribosylation, is not readily reversed by the presently known ADP-ribosylarginine hydrolase and seems to operate outside the postulated ADP-ribosylation cycle.

NAD may be degraded in several ways. A large number of investigations have shown that at least those catabolic routes which involve the formation of ADP-ribose are related to regulatory processes. In this study a rapid assay was utilized that permits identification of NAD-degrading enzymes directly in sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gels. Enzymatic activities were recovered by washing the gels in the presence of mild detergents such as lauryl dimethylamine N-oxide or Triton X-100. Subsequent incubation of the gels in the presence of the fluorescent analog 1,N6 etheno-NAD visualized NAD-degrading enzymes. Following excision of the fluorescent bands from the gels, the actual activity of the proteins was established by incubating the gel slices with 14C-labeled NAD and subsequent product analysis by thin layer chromatography (TLC). Homogenates from rat renal cortex and spleen were analyzed by this procedure. While in the spleen homogenate only a single band could be 'activity-stained', in the kidney three bands were detected. Kidney proteins with apparent molecular masses of about 210,000 and 105,000 Da were identified as phosphodiesterase and NAD pyrophosphatase (alkaline phosphodiesterase I), respectively. The third protein exhibited an apparent molecular mass of 41,000. The spleen protein (apparent molecular mass 45,000 Da) cleaved NAD to nicotinamide and ADP-ribose identifying it as NAD glycohydrolase. The procedure is suitable to screen for NAD-converting activities in crude extracts. It is specific for proteins which function as monomers or homo-oligomers.

Phosphodiesterase I (EC 3.1.4.1)/nucleotide pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6.1.9) enzymes are a family of type II transmembrane proteins that catalyze the cleavage of phosphodiester and phosphosulfate bonds of a variety of molecules, including deoxynucleotides, NAD, and nucleotide sugars. The human genes for two members of this family have been cloned and designated PC-1 (PDNP1) and PD-Ialpha/autotaxin (PDNP2). We have now cloned the third member of this family from a human prostate cDNA library and designated it human phosphodiesterase-Ibeta (PD-Ibeta). The PD-Ibeta cDNA contains a 2625-bp-long open reading frame which encodes an 875-amino-acid protein. COS-7 cells transfected with an expression vector, pBK-CMV, containing PD-Ibeta cDNA had high phosphodiesterase I activity compared to the mock-transfected cells. By using in situ hybridization to human metaphase chromosomes, we have assigned the locus for the PD-Ibeta (PDNP3) gene to the q22 region of human chromosome 6.

A poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-like enzyme, detected in a crude homogenate from Sulfolobus solfataricus by means of activity and immunoblot analyses, was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by a rapid procedure including two sequential affinity chromatographies, on NAD+-agarose and DNA-Sepharose. The latter column selected specifically the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ating enzyme with a 17% recovery of enzymic activity and a purification of more than 15000-fold. The molecular mass (54-55 kDa) assessed by SDS/PAGE and immunoblot was definitely lower than that determined for the corresponding eukaryotic protein. The enzyme was proved to be thermophilic, with a temperature optimum of approx. 80 degreesC, and thermostable, with a half-life of 204 min at 80 degreesC, in good agreement with the requirements of a thermozyme. It displayed a Km towards NAD+ of 154+/-50 microM; in the pH range 6.5-10.0 the activity values were similar, not showing a real optimum pH. The enzyme was able to bind homologous DNA, as evidenced by the ethidium bromide displacement assay. The product of the ADP-ribosylating reaction co-migrated with the short oligomers of ADP-ribose (less than 6 residues) from a eukaryotic source. Reverse-phase HPLC analysis of the products, after digestion with phosphodiesterase I, gave an elution profile reproducing that obtained by the enzymic digestion of the rat testis poly(ADP-ribose). These results strongly suggest that the activities of the purified enzyme include the elongation step.

1. Arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase (ART) activity has been implicated in white cell chemotaxis. In this study, we examined the capacity of a panel of structurally unrelated inhibitors and pseudosubstrates of ART to inhibit chemotaxis of A7r5 rat vascular smooth muscle cells in response to PDGF-BB. 2. The IC50 values for nicotinamide (12 mM) and novobiocin (165 microM) were similar to those observed for inhibition of chemotaxis by human polymorphonuclear neutrophil leucocytes (PMN), whereas vitamins K3 (IC50=22 microM) and K1 (IC50=95 microM) were less potent than previously described in PMNs. The pseudo-substrates for the enzyme (DEA-BAG, agmatine and arginine-methylester) also inhibited A7r5 chemotaxis, and in addition inhibited cell adhesion at similar concentrations. Vitamin K3 was unique among the inhibitors of ART, in that it also inhibited cell adhesion. 3. A rat ART1 transcript was amplified by rtPCR from rat skeletal muscle, and was noted to share 94% homology with the mouse ART1 cDNA sequence. No such transcript could be detected in A7r5 cells by Northern blot analysis or rtPCR. 4. Evidence for ART activity on the surface of A7r5 cells was investigated using 32P-NAD+ as substrate, and labelled membrane proteins were observed with MWt values of 116, 100, 90 and 70 kDa. Exposure of the labelled proteins to phosphodiesterase yielded 32P-AMP, and hydrolysis with NaOH yielded 32P-NAD+. These results indicated that the labelled proteins were adducts with NAD+, and not the products of ART activity. The absence of ART catalytic activity in A7r5 cells was confirmed in protocols designed to show ADP-ribosylation of agmatine. 5. We conclude that the chemotactic activity of A7r5 cells is independent of ART activity, and the mechanism whereby the novel panel of inhibitors reduced cell migration remains undefined.

Our previous study has shown that P gamma, the regulatory subunit of cGMP phosphodiesterase (PDE), is ADP-ribosylated by endogenous ADP-ribosyltransferase when P gamma is free or complexed with the catalytic subunits of PDE in amphibian rod photoreceptor membranes. The P gamma domain containing ADP-ribosylated arginines was shown to be involved in its interaction with T alpha, a key interaction for PDE activation. In this study, we describe a possible function of the P gamma ADP-ribosylation in the GTP/T alpha-dependent PDE activation. When rod membranes were preincubated with or without NAD and washed with a buffer containing GTP, the PDE activity of NAD-preincubated membranes was increased by the GTP-washing only to approximately 50% of that of membranes preincubated without NAD. The P gamma release by the GTP-washing from these NAD-preincubated membranes was also suppressed to approximately 50% of that preincubated without NAD. Taking into consideration that approximately 50% of P gamma is ADP-ribosylated under these conditions, these observations suggest that the ADP-ribosylated P gamma cannot interact with GTP/T alpha. We have also shown that a soluble fraction of ROS contains an enzyme(s) to release the radioactivity of [32P]ADP-ribosylated P gamma in concentration- and time-dependent manners, suggesting that the P gamma ADP-ribosylation is reversible. Rod ADP-ribosyltransferase solubilized from membranes by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C was separated into two fractions by ion-exchange columns. Biochemical characterization of these two fractions, including measurement of the Km for NAD and P gamma, estimation of their molecular masses, ADP-ribosylation of P gamma arginine mutants, effects of ADP-ribosyltransferase inhibitors on the P gamma ADP-ribosylation, and effects of salts and pH on the P gamma ADP-ribosylation, indicates that rod ADP-ribosyltransferase contains two isozymes, and that these two isozymes have similar properties for the P gamma ADP-ribosylation. Our observations strongly suggest that the negative regulation of PDE through the reversible P gamma ADP-ribosylation may function in the phototransduction mechanism.
