NAD:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferases catalyze the ADP-ribosylation of arginine residues in proteins. Coding region nucleic acid and deduced amino acid sequences of a human skeletal muscle ADP-ribosyltransferase cDNA were, respectively, 80.8% and 81.3% identical to those of the rabbit skeletal muscle transferase. A human transferase-specific cDNA probe detected major mRNA of 1.2 kb (mouse and rat), 3.0 kb (rabbit), 3.8 kb (monkey), and 5.7 kb (human) upon Northern analysis. Polyclonal anti-rabbit ADP-ribosyltransferase antibodies reacted with 36,000 M(r) proteins in partially purified transferase preparations from bovine, dog, and rabbit heart muscle and a 40,000 M(r) protein from human skeletal muscle. The human muscle ADP-ribosyltransferase cDNA, like the previously cloned rabbit muscle transferase, predicts predominantly hydrophobic amino- and carboxy-terminal amino acid sequences, which is characteristic of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins. On immunoblots of partially purified rabbit and human skeletal muscle ADP-ribosyltransferases, anti-cross-reacting determinant antibodies detected at 36,000 and 40,000 M(r), respectively, phosphatidylinositol-specific, phospholipase C-sensitive, GPI-anchored proteins. These data are consistent with the conclusion that GPI-anchored skeletal and cardiac muscle ADP-ribosyltransferases are conserved across mammalian species.

Several low molecular weight G proteins have been identified, but their functional roles remain unclear. To clarify the involvement of low molecular weight G protein in receptor-stimulated turnover of polyphosphoinositide (PI) turnover, influences of botulinum toxins on serotonin (5-HT)-stimulated Cl- current mediated by PI turnover were investigated using Xenopus oocytes injected with rat brain mRNA. Treatment with botulinum toxin C, D or purified ADP-ribosyltransferase of botulinum toxin (botulinum toxin C3 enzyme) inhibited the 5-HT-induced Cl- current in oocytes, and ADP-ribosylated 23 kDa proteins. Both botulinum toxin C3 enzyme-induced inhibition of the current and ADP-ribosylation were suppressed by pretreatment with antibotulinum toxin C3 enzyme antibody. Botulinum toxin D treatment of oocytes was ineffective in the response of Cl- current induced by injection of 50 pmol inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and 50 pmol Ca2+. It is suggested that low molecular weight G proteins ADP-ribosylated by botulinum toxin C3 enzyme are involved in phospholipase C activation in Xenopus oocytes.

RT6.2 is a 26-kDa alloantigen expressed only on post-thymic T cells and attached to the cell membrane through a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. It has been reported that expression of RT6.2 in animal models may correlate with lymphopenia and genetically-induced insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Its physiological function is unclear. Since RT6.2 has significant amino acid identity with a GPI-anchored rabbit muscle NAD:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase, RT6.2 was expressed in rat mammary adenocarcinoma cells and the ability of the expressed protein to catalyze ADP-ribose transfer reactions was examined. Cells transformed with the RT6.2 gene expressed NAD glycohydrolase activity that was released from intact cells by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, consistent with its presence on the cell surface. A similar activity was not detected with vector-transformed cells. RT6.2 did not ADP-ribosylate simple guanidino compounds. The molecular weight of the phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C-released NAD glycohydrolase, determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, was 22,000-24,000, in good agreement with that of native RT6.2. These results strongly suggest that the rat T cell alloantigen RT6.2 is a GPI-anchored NAD glycohydrolase.

Exoenzyme S is an ADP-ribosyltransferase produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Synthesis of exoenzyme S depends on an intact trans-regulatory locus encoding three protein products, ExsC, ExsB, and ExsA. To identify the phenotype of ExsC, -B, and -A mutants in exoenzyme S production, specific insertional mutations with the streptomycin resistance-encoding omega interposon were introduced into cloned DNA and returned to the chromosomes of P. aeruginosa PA103, PAO1, and PAK. Southern blot analysis was used to confirm insertion of omega and resolution of vector sequences. Exoenzyme S expression was measured in parental and mutant derivatives by Western blot (immunoblot) analysis and ADP-ribosyltransferase activity measurement. A complete set of mutations were obtained in strains PAK and PAO1, but in strain PA103, only an insertion in the exsA coding region was identified. Southern blot analysis demonstrated that extensive duplication and rearrangement of the PA103 chromosomal trans-regulatory locus occurred when exsC::omega or exsB::omega recombination events were attempted. Exoenzyme S antigen was not detectable in the supernatant or lysate fractions of mutant strains by Western blot analysis. ADP-ribosyltransferase activity was detected in the lysate but not in the supernatant fractions of mutant derivatives. The general secretion pathway appeared to function normally in mutant strains, as elastase, exotoxin A, and phospholipase C were measured in the supernatants of parental and mutant strains. Several differences were noted when the extracellular protein profiles of parental strains were compared with similar samples from the insertional mutant strains. Some of these differences appeared to be unrelated to exoenzyme S. These data suggest that insertional inactivation of the exoenzyme S trans-regulatory locus may affect a subset of other extracellular proteins.

ADP-ribosylation of protein in heart membrane preparations has been shown to be present in adult tissue but absent from early neonate tissue [Piron and McMahon (1990) Biochem. J. 270, 591-597]. To further this observation, the cardiac membrane-bound form of arginine-specific mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.31) has been characterized. Apparent Km values of 330 and 470 microM were found in heart membrane preparations from rat and quail respectively. The Vmax. value depended greatly on the species of animal studied, and was 1.1 and 48 nmol/min per mg in rat and quail preparations respectively. The specific activity of the enzyme was lowest in pig, intermediate in rat, dog and rabbit, and highest in mouse and quail cardiac membranes. In the rat, the ADP-ribosylation of protein and enzyme activity were very low in heart preparations from 1-15-day-old animals. Thereafter the ADP-ribosylation and enzyme activity increased gradually to adulthood. Bacillus cereus phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, known to hydrolyse glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchors of proteins, released the mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase from membrane preparations of both rat and quail in a dose-dependent, Zn(2+)-inhibited manner. Thus it appears that a membrane-bound form of arginine-specific mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase is present in heart membranes from a variety of species and is not species-specific. The activity of this ADP-ribosyltransferase appears to be developmentally regulated and to be bound to the cardiac membranes by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor.

Many cell surface proteins are anchored into the cell membrane by glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI), among those a recently discovered arginine-specific mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase on cytotoxic T cells (CTL). This enzyme transfers ADP-ribose to cell surface proteins resulting in inhibition of cytotoxic and proliferative activity. Here we report that ADP-ribosyltransferase is released in active forms by crosslinking CD3, exposure to Il-2 or PMA stimulation. Release of transferase is specific, as another GPI-anchored protein, Thy-1 is not released. Transferase molecules released by cell activation are indistinguishable in size from molecules released by phospholipase C, suggesting that the release mechanism acts close to or within the GPI anchor. Protease inhibitors fail to inhibit transferase release with exception of 1,10-phenanthroline and its 4,7-diphenyl derivative. This suggests that the release mechanism acts on the cell surface but does not discriminate between action of a metalloprotease or phospholipase D. Release of transferase is shown to be rapid, it is not suppressed by monensin or brefeldin A and independent of serum phospholipase D, consistent with a mechanism acting on the cell surface. Transferase expression is shown to be dependent on the cell activation stage. In CTL clones, the transferase is demonstrable as a phospholipase C releasable molecule at early but not later stages of Ag specific activation.

An Arg-specific mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase activity on the surface of human polymorphonuclear neutrophil leucocytes (PMNs) was confirmed by the use of diethylamino-(benzylidineamino)guanidine (DEA-BAG) as an ADP-ribose acceptor. Two separate HPLC systems were used to separate ADP-ribosyl-DEA-BAG from reaction mixtures, and its presence was confirmed by electrospray mass spectrometry. ADP-ribosyl-DEA-BAG was produced in the presence of PMNs, but not in their absence. Incubation of DEA-BAG with ADP-ribose (0.1-10 mM) did not yield ADP-ribosyl-DEA-BAG, which indicates that ADP-ribosyl-DEA-BAG formed in the presence of PMNs was not simply a product of a reaction between DEA-BAG and free ADP-ribose, due possibly to the hydrolysis of NAD+ by an NAD+ glycohydrolase. The assay of mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase with agmatine as a substrate was modified for intact PMNs, and the activity was found to be approx. 50-fold lower than that in rabbit cardiac membranes. The Km of the enzyme for NAD+ was 100.1 30.4 microM and the Vmax 1.4 0.2 pmol of ADP-ribosylagmatine/h per 10(6) cells. The enzyme is likely to be linked to the cell surface via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor, since incubation of intact PMNs with phosphoinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) led to a 98% decrease in mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase activity in the cells. Cell surface proteins were labelled after exposure of intact PMNs to [32P]NAD+. Their molecular masses were 79, 67, 46, 36 and 26 kDa. The time course for labelling was non-linear under these conditions over a period of 4 h. The labelled products were identified as mono(ADP-ribosyl)ated proteins by hydrolysis with snake venom phosphodiesterase to yield 5'-AMP.

1. The effect of mastoparan on phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis was examined in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells. Mastoparan (3-30 microM) caused an accumulation of diacylglycerol (DG) and phosphatidic acd (PA) accompanied by choline release in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. 2. In the presence of 2% n-butanol, mastoparan (3-100 microM) induced phosphatidylbutanol (PBut) accumulation in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, suggesting that mastoparan activates phospholipase D (PLD). Propranolol (30-300 microM), a phosphatidate phosphohydrolase inhibitor, inhibited DG accumulation induced by mastoparan, supporting this idea. 3. Depletion of extracellular free calcium ion did not alter the effect of mastoparan on PLD activity. 4. A protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, calphostin C (1 microM), did not inhibit mastoparan-induce PLD activation but the ability of mastoparan to stimulate phospholipase D activity was decreased in the PKC down regulated cells. 5. PLD activity stimulated by mastoparan was not prevented by pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin (PT) or C3 ADP-ribosyltransferase. Furthermore, guanine nucleotides did not affect PLD activity stimulation by mastoparan in membrane preparations. 6. Mastoparan stimulated PLD in several cell lines such as RBL-2H3, RBL-1, HL-60, P388, endothelial cells, as well as 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells. 7. These results suggest that mastoparan induces phosphatidylcholine (PC) hydrolysis by activation of PLD, not by activation of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC); mastoparan-induced PLD activation is not mediated by G proteins.

Mono ADP-ribosyltransferases catalyze the transfer of the ADP-ribose moiety of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to proteins. It was reported by Wang et al (J Immunol 153:4048, 1994) that incubation of mouse cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) with NAD resulted in the ADP-ribosylation of membrane proteins and inhibition of cell proliferation and cytotoxicity. Treatment of CTL with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) before incubation with NAD prevented the inhibitory effects of NAD on the cells, consistent with the removal of a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored ADP-ribosyltransferase on the lymphocyte surface. We have identified and cloned a GPI-linked ADP-ribosyltransferase from Yac-1 mouse T-cell lymphoma cells. The deduced amino acid sequence of the Yac-1 transferase was 70% and 41% identical to those of the rabbit skeletal muscle and chicken heterophil, respectively. It contained three noncontiguous sequences similar to those found in several of the bacterial toxin and vertebrate ADP-ribosyltransferases. Based on crystallography of the bacterial toxins, these regions are believed to form, in part, the catalytic site consistent with a common mechanism for the ADP-ribose transfer reaction. In rat mammary adenocarcinoma (NMU) cells transformed with the Yac-1 transferase cDNA, transferase activity was present on the cell surface and was released into the medium by treatment of cells with PI-PLC. Thus, we have cloned a novel gene that has properties identical to the transferase detected in CTL, and may be involved in the NAD-dependent regulation of proliferation and cytotoxicity.

1. Mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase activity has been identified on the external surface of human polymorphonuclear neutrophil leucocytes (PMNs). The enzyme is released from the plasma membrane by phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C, suggesting a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) linkage of the enzyme to the plasma membrane. Partial sequence of cDNA encoding the enzyme suggests that it is identical to the GPI-linked mono(ADP-ribosyl)-transferase identified previously on human skeletal muscle. 2. A panel of inhibitors of mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase (including vitamins K1 and K3, novobiocin and nicotinamide) showed a rank order of inhibitory potency similar to that described for other mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferases. Furthermore, the mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of agmatine was inhibited also by diethylamino (benzylidineamino)guanidine (DEA-BAG), another substrate of the enzyme related structurally to arginine. 3. There was a close linear correlation between the IC50 values for inhibition of mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of agmatine by DEA-BAG or the enzyme inhibitors and their IC50 values for inhibition of receptor-dependent polymerization of cytoskeletal actin and chemotaxis. 4. These results suggest a role for mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase in the transduction pathway involved in receptor-dependent re-alignment of the cytoskeleton during neutrophil chemotaxis.
