A poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase from guinea pig liver cytoplasm has been purified approximately 45,000-fold to apparent homogeneity. The cytoplasmic poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase designated form II differed in several respects from the nuclear poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase I (Mr = 75,500) previously purified from the same tissue (Tanuma et al., 1986a). The purified glycohydrolase II consists of a single polypeptide with Mr of 59,500 estimated by a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel. A native Mr of 57,000 was determined by gel permeation. Peptide analysis of partial proteolytic degradation of glycohydrolases II and I with Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease revealed that the two enzymes were structurally different. Amino acid analysis showed that glycohydrolase II had a relatively low proportion of basic amino acid residues as compared with glycohydrolase I. Glycohydrolase II and I were acidic proteins with isoelectric points of 6.2 and 6.6, respectively. The optimum pH for glycohydrolases II and I were around 7.4 and 7.0, respectively. The Km value for (ADP-ribose)n (average chain length n = 15) and the Vmax for glycohydrolase II were 4.8 microM and 18 mumol of ADP-ribose released from (ADP-ribose)n.min-1.(mg of protein)-1, respectively. The Km was about 2.5 times higher, and Vmax 2 times lower, than those observed with glycohydrolase I. Unlike glycohydrolase I, glycohydrolase II was inhibited by monovalent salts. ADP-ribose and cAMP inhibited glycohydrolase II more strongly than glycohydrolase I. These results suggest that eukaryotic cells contain two distinct forms of poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase exhibiting differences in properties and subcellular localization.

Poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase was identified as the main acceptor of this polymer produced in isolated nuclei of rat liver. When the nuclei were incubated with [32P]NAD at a limited concentration (2.4 microM) and for a brief period (10 s), a protein with Mr = 110,000 was predominantly poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated, as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The modification of this protein increased upon longer incubations or at higher NAD concentrations, and induced a marked increase in the apparent molecular weight. A comparison with poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase (Mr = 110,000) of rat liver under various conditions suggested that the increase in the molecular weight of the acceptor resembled that of the synthetase undergoing multiple auto-poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation. This interpretation was further supported by the following observations: 1) [32P]poly(ADP-ribose) attached to the acceptor co-eluted with the synthetase activity from a hydroxyapatite column; 2) the [32P]poly(ADP-ribose).acceptor complex isolated on the column was converted to a very large complex by further incubation with NAD; and 3) a group of large poly(ADP-ribose).acceptor complexes were reduced to a single molecular species with Mr = 110,000 by extensive digestion with poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase. These findings altogether suggested that poly(ADP-ribose) synthesized in isolated nuclei was principally bound to the synthetase itself.

Poly(ADP-ribose) synthetic activity in isolated nucleoli from rapidly growing mouse ascites tumor cells and ADP-ribosylation of the nucleolar proteins in vitro were studied. The specific activity of the synthesis in the nucleoli was significantly higher than that in the chromatin. The optimum magnesium and NAD+ concentrations, and the effect of RNase treatment on the reaction in the nucleoli were also distinctly different from those in the chromatin. Hydrolysis of the reaction product of the nucleoli with snake venom phosphodiesterase and with calf thymus poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase yielded 5'-AMP and 2'-(5"-phosphoribosyl))5'-AMP, and ADP-ribose, respectively. The average chain length of the polymer formed in the nucleoli was found to be about 4 as a whole, but the distribution was heterogenous, from 1.2 to over 12. Analysis of ADP-ribosylated proteins in the nucleoli by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate revealed that several non-histone proteins with molecular weights of over 100,000 were highly ADP-ribosylated compared with other proteins including histones. This pattern was also different from that of the chromatin. These experimental results demonstrate that the nucleoli are independent from the chromatin as regards poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis in vitro.

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation metabolism, a post-translational modification, involves two nuclear enzymes. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) are responsible for the anabolism and catabolism of poly(ADP-ribose) polymer, respectively. PARG, despite being less abundant than PARP, is a crucial determinant of polymer metabolism which is known to be implicated in DNA repair and other cellular processes. Here, we describe modifications to improve the purification of PARG from calf thymus, in terms of both quantity and quality, which would allow biochemical and immunological studies. We also developed a zymogram to identify functional polypeptides exhibiting PARG activity. Purified and crude enzyme preparations from calf thymus were electrophoresed in two-dimensional gels. Samples were resolved on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis containing the polymer substrate in the form of automodified PARP after a nonequilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis. After renaturation of PARG in the gel, four isoforms of activity were clearly detected in the purified enzyme preparation. Even in the crude extract of the tissue, we could observe the major isoform of PARG. This technique will permit a better understanding of poly(ADP-ribose) catabolism and better characterization of PARG isoforms.

Poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase, extensively purified to homogeneity from nuclei of human placenta, is composed of a single polypeptide with a molecular mass of 71,000 daltons on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel. Judging from its physico-chemical and catalytic properties, the enzyme is similar to the nuclear glycohydrolase (glycohydrolase I), but not to the cytoplasmic glycohydrolase (glycohydrolase II) that has been purified from guinea pig liver (Tanuma, S., Kawashima, K., and Endo, H. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 965-969; Maruta, H., Inageda, K., Aoki, T., Nishina, H., and Tanuma, S. (1991) Biochemistry 30, 5907-5912). The rates of hydrolysis of (ADP-ribose)n bound to various proteins by the purified nuclear glycohydrolase were higher than those of the corresponding free polymers. Kinetic analyses revealed that the enzyme had more activity toward poly(ADP-ribose) bound to histone H1 or to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase than toward oligo(ADP-ribose) bound to cytoplasmic proteins from mitochondria or mRNA ribonucleoprotein although the Km and Vmax values were dependent on the chain length (n). In contrast, cytoplasmic glycohydrolase purified from human erythrocytes was more active toward oligo(ADP-ribose) (n = 2.6 or 4.2) bound to the cytoplasmic proteins than to poly(ADP-ribose) (n = 14.6) bound to histone H1, and their kinetic parameters of glycohydrolase II were rather dependent on the acceptor molecules for (ADP-ribose)n. These results suggest that poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase I may play an important role in regulation of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation levels on chromosomal proteins in nuclei.
