[32P]ADP-ribosylation of membrane proteins catalyzed by either cholera toxin or pertussis toxin was markedly enhanced by NADP+. The effect was concentration dependent; with 20 microM [32P]NAD+ as a substrate maximal enhancement was obtained at a concentration of 0.5-1.0 mM NADP+ for rabbit and guinea-pig liver membranes and 0.1 mM NADP+ for human erythrocyte membranes. NADP+ appears to act by inhibiting the degradation of NAD+ by NAD+-glycohydrolase (NADase) present in membrane preparations, probably as an alternate substrate for the enzyme. Among inhibitors tested (NADP+, isonicotinic acid hydrazide, imidazole, nicotinamide, L-arginine methyl ester and HgCl2) to suppress the enzyme activity, NADP+ was the most effective and, at 10 mM, inhibited hepatic NADase activity by about 90%. The effect of NADP+ was much greater than that of other known effectors of ADP-ribosylation such as Mg2+ and phosphate, or the NADase inhibitors, isonicotinic acid hydrazide and isonicotinamide. In membranes which contain substantial activities of NADase the inclusion of NADP+ in the assay system is necessary to achieve maximal ADP-ribosylation of membrane proteins.

The interaction of nucleotides with pertussis toxin (PT), and their effects on the ability of the toxin to ADP-ribosylate pure Ni, were evaluated. [32P]ATP (10 nM) bound directly to dithiothreitol-activated PT. This binding was competitively inhibited by nucleotides and anions with the following IC50 concentrations in order of decreasing potency: ATP = ATP gamma S (adenosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate)) = 0.2-0.3 microM, GDP beta S (guanosine-5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate)) = 2-3 microM, GTP gamma S (guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate)) = 10-15 microM, ADP = 20-25 microM, GTP = 30-40 microM, GMP-P(NH)P (guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate) = 100-150 microM, GDP = 150-200 microM, Pi = SO4(2-) = 20 mM and Cl- = acetate = 30-35 mM. Treatment of PT with ATP, AMP-P(NH)P, GTP, GDP, or GDP beta S, resulted in a stimulated state of NAD+-Ni ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. Addition of ATP, AMP-P(NH)P (adenyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate), GTP, GDP, and GDP beta S to the ADP-ribosylation reactions resulted in increased rates of ADP-ribosyl-Ni formation. It is concluded that these effects on the nucleotides are due to their action to stimulate the activity of PT. At concentrations of PT between 0.04 and 0.4 microgram/ml, the stimulation of ADP-ribosylation of Ni effected by nucleotides was hysteretic in nature, exhibiting an approximately 25-min long lag when GDP was used as the activating nucleotide. These lags decreased with increasing concentrations of PT, and were abolished by pretreatment of the toxin with GDP or ATP. Preliminary incubation of Ni with GDP had no effect on the lag in its ADP-ribosylation by non-nucleotide treated PT. Addition of divalent cations (Mg2+, Mn2+, and Ca2+) inhibited formation of ADP-ribosyl-Ni, possibly by causing aggregation and denaturation of Ni. This is the first demonstration that both adenine and guanine nucleotides interact directly with PT and act to stimulate its activity to ADP-ribosylate Ni, and that guanine nucleotides do so regardless of whether they are nucleoside di- or triphosphates.

Pertussis toxin abolishes hormonal inhibition of adenylate cyclase, hormonal stimulation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate accumulation in rat fat-cells, and catalyses the ADP-ribosylation of two peptides, of Mr 39,000 and 41,000 [Malbon, Rapiejko & Mangano (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 2558-2564]. The 41,000-Mr peptide is the alpha-subunit of the G-protein, referred to as Gi, that is believed to mediate inhibitory control of adenylate cyclase by hormones. The nature of the 39,000-Mr substrate for pertussis toxin was investigated. The fat-cell 39,000-Mr peptide was compared structurally and immunologically with the alpha-subunits of two other G-proteins, Gt isolated from the rod outer segments of bovine retina and Go isolated from bovine brain. After radiolabelling in the presence of pertussis toxin and [32P]NAD+, the electrophoretic mobilities of the fat-cell 39,000-Mr peptide and the alpha-subunits of Go and Gt were nearly identical. Partial proteolysis of these ADP-ribosylated proteins generates peptide patterns that suggest the existence of a high degree of homology between the fat-cell 39,000-Mr peptide and the alpha-subunit of Go. Antisera raised against purified G-proteins and their subunits were used to probe immunoblots of purified Gt, Gi, Go, and fat-cell membrane proteins. Although recognizing the 36,000-Mr beta-subunit band of Gt, Gi, Go and a 36,000-Mr fat-cell peptide, antisera raised against Gt failed to recognize either the 39,000- or the 41,000-Mr peptides of fat-cells or the alpha-subunits of Go and Gi. Antisera raised against the alpha-subunit of Go, in contrast, recognized the 39,000-Mr peptide of rat fat-cells, but not the alpha-subunit of either Gi or Gt. These data establish the identity of Go, in addition to Gi, in fat-cell membranes and suggest the possibility that either Go or Gi alone, or both, may mediate hormonal regulation of adenylate cyclase and phospholipase C.

Thiols such as cysteine and dithiothreitol are substrates for the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of pertussis toxin. When cysteine was incubated with NAD+ and toxin at pH 7.5, a product containing ADP-ribose and cysteine (presumably ADP-ribosylcysteine) was isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography, and characterized by its composition and release of AMP with phosphodiesterase. Cysteine has a Km of 105 mM at saturating NAD+ concentration. The ability of thiols to act as a substrate is one explanation for the very high concentrations (250 mM or greater) that have been observed to enhance the apparent NAD glycohydrolase activity of the toxin.

Exotoxin A (ETA) is recognized as the most toxic product associated with the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Identification of the amino acids in the polypeptide sequence that are required for toxin activity is critical for vaccine development. By defining the nucleotide sequence of the structural gene of a mutant that encodes an enzymatically inactive ETA (CRM 66), we identified an essential amino acid (His-426), which is involved in the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity associated with functional ETA. A monoclonal antibody that inhibits ETA enzymatic activity in vitro fails to react with ETA variants that have a His 426----Tyr substitution. Several mono-ADP-ribosylating toxins, including diphtheria and pertussis toxins, within the primary amino acid sequences carry a histidine residue that is conserved in spacing and in location with respect to other critical residues. Analysis of the three-dimensional structure of ETA revealed that His-426 is not associated with the proposed NAD+ binding site. These findings should be useful for the design and construction of toxin vaccines.

Pretreatment of bovine thyroid slices with TSH resulted in desensitization of TSH-sensitive adenylyl cyclase activity but no change in stimulatory nucleotide binding regulatory component of adenylyl cyclase (Gs) activity assessed by reconstitution of the Gs-defective cyc-S49 adenylyl cyclase system. Possible changes in substrates for pertussis toxin (PT)-induced ADP ribosylation due to TSH treatment and/or in endogenous ADP ribosylation of membrane proteins were explored. Using 10 microM [32P]NAD+ as substrate, endogenous ADP ribosylation was not observed in membranes from control or TSH-treated slices. ADP ribosylation of alpha-subunits of Gs by cholera toxin was also unaffected by incubation of thyroid slices with TSH. In contrast, ADP ribosylation of 40 kilodalton (kDa) substrates for PT was decreased between 40% and 60% by TSH treatment. This effect of TSH was dependent on its concentration and the time of incubation of the slices and was specific for labeling of the 40 kDa PT substrate. Prostaglandin E1 treatment of thyroid slices, which results in a much smaller homologous desensitizing effect, did not result in changes in ADP ribosylation by PT. The effect of incubation of slices with TSH was abolished by pretreatment of the membranes with 0.3-1.0% Lubrol PX, which increased the labeling of the 40 kDa polypeptides. The data suggests that TSH induces in thyroid tissue a redistribution of 40 kDa polypeptides changing their availability to PT.

Adenosine Ri receptors and inhibitory guanine-nucleotide-regulatory components were solubilized from rat cerebral-cortical membranes with sodium cholate. (-)-N6-Phenylisopropyl[2,8-3H]adenosine [( 3H]PIA) binds with high affinity to the soluble receptors, which retain the pharmacological specificity of adenosine Ri receptors observed in membranes. The binding is regulated by bivalent cations and guanine nucleotides. Bivalent cations increase [3H]PIA binding by increasing both the affinity and the apparent number of receptors. Guanine nucleotides decrease agonist binding by increasing the dissociation of the ligand-receptor complex. Adenosine agonists stabilize the high-affinity form of the soluble receptor. The hydrodynamic properties of the adenosine receptor were determined with cholate extracts of membranes that were treated with [3H]PIA. Sucrose-gradient-centrifugation analysis indicates that the receptor has a sedimentation coefficient of 7.7 S. The receptor is eluted from Sepharose 6B columns with an apparent Stokes radius of 7.2 nm. Labelling of either sucrose-gradient or gel-filtration-column fractions with pertussis toxin and [32P]-NAD+ reveals that both the 41,000- and 39,000-Mr substrates overlap with the receptor activity. These studies suggest that the high-affinity adenosine-receptor-binding activity in the cholate extract represents a stable R1-N complex.

The modified method for the isolation and purification of B. pertussis toxin has been proposed. Chromatography with the use of hydroxylapatite and lentil lectin--Sepharose 4B has permitted the isolation of the preparation purified 600 times. Its molecular weight is about 90,000. The preparation has been found to possess leukocytosis-stimulating, histamine-sensitising and hemagglutinating activity. Electrophoretic analysis has revealed that the isolated substance consists of four subunits with molecular weights 28,400, 24,300, 21,800 and 15,200. This substance has proved to be capable of hydrolyzing NAD+, as well as of suppressing the GTPase activity of transducin, which is indicative of the covalent modification (ADP-ribosylyzing) of GTP-binding protein under the action of B. pertussis toxin. Two methods for the isolation of B. pertussis toxin (from liquid and solid growth media), as well as the isolation of the toxin from different B. pertussis strains, are evaluated.

Two peptides (Mr = 40,000 and 41,000) in membranes of rabbit heart are radiolabeled when the membranes are incubated in the presence of activated pertussis toxin and [32P]NAD+. The 41,000-Mr peptide appears to be the alpha subunit of the inhibitory regulatory protein of adenylate cyclase, Ni. The 40,000-Mr substrate for pertussis toxin in the heart was investigated. Purification of the stimulatory regulatory protein of adenylate cyclase, Ns, results in the co-purification of the alpha subunits of both Ns and Ni, the putative beta- (Mr = 35,000) and gamma- (Mr approximately equal to 15,000) subunits of Ns and Ni, and the additional 40,000-Mr peptide that is ADP-ribosylated by pertussis toxin. This 40,000-Mr substrate for pertussis toxin action appears to be a major N-protein of mammalian heart.

We compared the effects of guanine nucleotides and Mg2+ on ADP-ribosylation of rat brain and liver membrane proteins catalysed by Bordetella pertussis toxin (IAP) and cholera toxin (CT). Labelling of proteins in the presence of [alpha-32P]NAD+, ATP and CT required GTP or guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP [S]). In contrast, labelling of one (liver) or two (brain) polypeptides by IAP was enhanced by guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP[S]) or GTP, but was blocked by GTP[S] or guanosine 5'-[beta, gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG). The order of labelling intensity was GDP[S] greater than GTP greater than no addition greater than GTP[S] = p [NH]ppG. Mg2+ increased labelling by CT, but decreased labelling by IAP. In addition, Mg2+ potentiated the effects of the guanine nucleotides, increasing the inhibitory effects of GTP[S] and the activatory effects of GDP[S] or GTP. Preincubating liver membranes at 30 degrees C in the presence of 10 mm-MgCl2 inhibited labelling by IAP irreversibly. Pretreatment of liver membranes with 4.95 mM-N-ethylmaleimide decreased labelling by CT by approximately 15%, but almost completely blocked labelling by IAP. These results suggest that the undissociated, GDP-bound, conformation of Ni, the inhibitory GTP-binding protein of adenylate cyclase, is the preferred substrate for ADP-ribosylation by IAP. This conformation, which is prevalent in native membranes, is sensitive to temperature, Mg2+ ions and alkylating agents such as N-ethylmaleimide. At 30 degrees C, Mg2+ may cause dissociation and denaturation of Ni in native membranes.
