When rat liver nuclei were incubated with [adenine-3H]NAD, besides histone 1, histone 2A and especially histone 2B accepted 3H radioactivity. 3H radioactivity was also found on the non-histone proteins and on the small amounts of histones 1 and 3 released into the supernatant during incubation. [14C]Adenine uptake in vivo by liver and thymus nuclei showed radioactivity in histones 1 and 3. After digestion with Pronase and leucine aminopeptidase 14C- or 32P-labelled histone 3 released a serine phosphate-containing nucleotide, which on acid hydrolysis yielded ADP-ribose and serine phosphate. Serine phosphate was also found in the material from the nucleotide peaks from histones 2A and 2B. ADP-ribosylated histones 1 and 3 were more easily released from nuclei than their unmodified forms and showed higher [32P]Pi and [3H]lysine uptakes in vivo [Ord & Stocken (1975) FEBS Meet. Proc. 34, 113-125].

When incubated in vitro purified mouse nuclei incorporate NAD into poly(ADP-Rib). Analysis of the product on CsDl/urea gradients showed that a large proportion of the poly(ADP-Rib) was not attached to protein. The free poly(ADP-Rib) did not appear to arise through degradation and its chain length was significantly longer than the poly(ADP-Rib) attached to proteins. Fractionation of the proteins on hydroxyapatite revealed that tissue-specific modification of both the histones and non-histone proteins, had occurred. In the case of one protein species there was evidence for the existence of several forms with different numbers of ADP-Rib residues.

The physicochemical properties of the purified calf thymus poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase were investigated. The enzyme purified to homogeneity was shown to contain about 10% DNA on a weight basis and its activity to be DNA independent. After removing this fragment of DNA, called the sDNA fraction, the enzyme becomes DNA dependent. The activity of this enzyme preparation was entirely dependent on, and completely restored by, added calf thymus DNA or sDNA. However, the calf thymus DNA concentration needed was a hundred times higher than that of sDNA. The properties of the two enzyme preparations, DNA independent and DNA dependent, were essentially the same. They both reacted against the specific antibody obtained with the DNA-independent poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. The pH optimum was around 8; the activity was stimulated by Mg2+, Mn2+ and Ca2+, and inhibited by high ionic strength, p-chloromercuribenzoate, ADP-ribose, AMP and polylysine. Nicotinamide, thymidine and NADP were shown to be competitive inhibitors. The enzymatic activity was stimulated by histone H1 when the ratio of DNA to histone H1 was 2. Histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 had little effect on the DNA-independent enzyme activity, but were strongly inhibitory for the DNA-dependent enzyme. This inhibitory effect could be reversed by allowing the DNA-dependent enzyme to react with the sDNA fraction before adding histone subfractions. The apparent Km for NAD of the DNA-dependent poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase was shown to vary with the DNA concentration. It was minimum when the amount of sDNA was 10% of that of the enzyme. The ratio of the apparent Km for sDNA to the enzyme concentration was constant at any enzyme concentration. The minimum estimation of the number of base pairs of sDNA required for maximal activation of one enzyme molecule was 16. For calf thymus DNA, this estimation was of 640. These results suggest that the activation of the enzyme needs the formation of some complex between the protein and a specific part of the DNA. This complex was preserved in the DNA-independent enzyme preparation.

Preparations of H1 histone from HeLa cell nuclei incubated with [3H]NAD to permit poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis were electrophoresed on polyacrylamide gels. The incorporated radioactivity migrated as a sharply defined peak in association with a protein band which moved more slowly than H1, the major protein component. The following observations indicate that this complex is composed of two molecules of H1 and a single chain of poly(ADP-ribose) with one detectable covalent linkage of polymer to protein. 1. The [14C]arginine/[3H]lysine ratio is identical in H1 histone and in the protein moiety of the complex. 2. Protein is displaced from H1 histone to the complex during poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis. At least 90% of the protein in the complex (stainable protein and labelled protein) is derived from H1. 3. Sedimentation rate studies indicate a molecular weight of the complex about twice that of H1 histone. 4. The average chain length of the polymer is 15 ADP-ribose units and there are 7--8 ADP-ribose units for each molecule of H1 histone in the 'complex'. 5. Poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase, which hydrolyses the polymer exoglycosidically from the AMP terminus, degrades the complex producing ADP-ribose and mono-ADP-ribosylated H1 histone which co-electrophoreses with unmodified H1. Although only one covalent linkage between protein and polymer has been detected, the 'complex' does not dissociate when electrophoresed on dodecylsulfate gels. Nor can the noncovalently linked H1 histone of the complex readily exchange with free H1. Complex formation does not occur when purified poly(ADP-ribose) and H1 are mixed.

A poly(ADP-ribose)-H1 histone complex has been isolated from HeLa cell nuclei incubated with NAD. The rate of poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase catalyzed hydrolysis of the polymer in the complex is only 1/9 that of free poly(ADP-ribose), indicating that the polymer is in a protected environment within the complex. Comparison of the rate of hydrolysis of free poly(ADP-ribose) in the presence or absence of H1 to that in the complex synthesized de novo indicates a specific mode of packaging of the complex. This is further indicated by the fact that alkaline dissociation of the complex followed by neutralization markedly exposes the associated poly(ADP-ribose) to the glycohydrolase. The complex also partially unfolds when it binds to DNA as evidenced by a 2-fold increase in the rate of glycolytic cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose). This effect of DNA is not due to a stimulation of the glycohydrolase per se since hydrolysis of free polymer by the enzyme is strongly inhibited by DNA, especially single-stranded DNA. Inhibition of glycohydrolase by DNA results from the binding of the enzyme to DNA and conditions which decrease this binding (increased ionic strength or addition of histone H1 which competes for DNA binding) relieve the DNA inhibition.

ADP-ribosylated histone H1 was isolated from intact HeLa cells grown for 24 h with[3H]-adenosine and compared with ADP-ribosylated histone H1 synthesized from [3H]NAD by isolated HeLa nuclei. Most (ADP-ribose)n-histone H1 conjugates formed in vivo carried single ADP-ribose units, less than one fourth of the total ADP-ribose residues being in the form of oligomeric or polymeric chains. (ADP-ribose)n linked to H1 in vivo was not released by neutral NH2OH to a significant extent. Alkali treatment (pH 10.5) liberated most but not all of the ADP-ribose residues which may indicate the existence of a new type of linkage so far found only in conjugates isolated from intact tissue. No ADP-ribosylated histone H1 complex of higher molecular weight ('H1 dimer') could be detected in intact cells. By contrast, isolated HeLa nuclei formed ADP-ribosylated histone H1 which contained predominantly polymeric ADP-ribose residues. The (ADP-ribose)n residues were linked by NH2OH-sensitive and by NH2OH-resistant, alkali (pH 10.5) labile bonds, the majority of the conjugates appearing in the form of the higher-molecular-weight complex. A comparison with the ADP-ribosylated non-histone proteins indicated that histone H1 formed in vivo carried less than 2.5% of the total protein-bound ADP-ribose residues and less than 1% of the protein-bound ADP-ribose synthesized in vitro.

Poly(ADPribosylation) of nuclear proteins has been investigated in the nuclei from growing oviducts of intact and estrogen-treated spayed females of the lizard Podarcis s. sicula Raf. Isolated nuclei were incubated with [14C] NAD and nuclear proteins extracted in 0.2 m H2SO4. Labeled acid-soluble proteins were analysed by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and acetic acid-urea gel electrophoresis. The results reported here indicate that the ADPribosylation reaction is involved in modifying besides histone H2b, tissue specific proteins (SNPs and LMG-O). Moreover, comparable results have been obtained from nuclei prepared from the fully active oviduct of intact animals and spayed lizards stimulated with 17 beta-estradiol. It is concluded that the poly-(ADPribosylation) of hormone-induced proteins might play a role in the differentiation of the lizard oviduct.

We have identified a guanidine group specific ADP-ribosyltransferase activity, capable of transferring an ADP-ribose group from NAD to a low molecular weight guanidine compound [p-(nitrobenzylidine)amino]guanidine and proteins such as histone and poly-L-arginine, in a variety of murine cell lines. The enzyme activity appears to be associated with an integral membrane protein of apparent molecular weight 30-33 kDa. Incubation of the viable cells in isotonic phosphate buffered saline with [32P]NAD results in the incorporation of label into cellular proteins. Dimethyl sulfoxide treatment of the cells downregulates the transferase activity as well as the ADP-ribosylation of cell proteins with extracellular NAD.

We present evidence that T3 can alter the ADP-ribosylation of chromatin associated proteins. Nuclei from GH1 cells were incubated with [adenylate-32P]NAD and the radioactivity incorporated into histone and non-histone proteins was quantitated and analyzed by gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. Incubation of GH1 cells for 24 h with T3 lowered by 40-70% the [32P]ADP-ribose incorporated into nuclear proteins. However, incubation for 3 h with T3 resulted in a stimulation instead of a decrease of in vitro [32P]ADP-ribose incorporation. The major ADP-ribosylated component electrophoresed as a 120,000 molecular mass non-histone protein, and radiolabeled histones were also observed. The same protein species were observed for all the experimental groups and T3 affected the extent of ADP-ribosylation but did not alter the sedimentation of the [32P]ADP-ribosylated components excised from chromatin after micrococcal nuclease digestion.

Integral membrane-associated arginine-specific mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase was purified from rabbit skeletal muscle microsomes. The ADP-ribosyltransferase was solubilized from the 100,000 x g pellet with 0.3% sodium deoxycholate and purified to greater than or equal to 95% homogeneity by successive DE52, concanavalin A-agarose, 3-aminobenzamide-agarose, and size-exclusion high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) steps in the presence of detergents. Two molecular weight forms of the enzyme were isolated and partially characterized. The apparent Mr of the alpha-form of the enzyme purified to greater than or equal to 95% homogeneity was approximately 39,000 +/- 500 as estimated by silver-stained sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The Mr of the beta-form purified to greater than or equal to 80% homogeneity was 38,500 +/- 500. The rapid procedure resulted in a 200-fold purification for the alpha-form and a 645-fold purification for the beta-form, relative to the microsomal fraction. Positive identification of the enzyme was confirmed by utilizing a zymographic in situ gel assay and by HPLC assay of polyacrylamide gel slice incubations with an NAD and guanylhydrazone substrate. The specificity of the mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase zymographic assay was characterized by time course incubations, hydroxylamine sensitivity, 3-aminobenzamide inhibition, and histone dependence. The ADP-ribosyltransferase is inactivated by reducing agents.
