Selective decrease in the affinity of D2 dopamine receptor for agonist induced by islet-activating protein, pertussis toxin, associated with ADP-ribosylation of the specific membrane protein of bovine striatum.

Abstract

When the crude synaptic membrane preparations from bovine striatum were treated with islet-activating protein (IAP), one of the pertussis toxins, a protein with a molecular weight of about 40,000 was ADP-ribosylated. In parallel with this ADP-ribosylation, there was a decrease in D2 dopamine receptor affinity for agonist, while the affinity for antagonist remained unaltered. Addition of GTP to nontreated membranes also resulted in a decrease in the affinity of D2 receptor for agonist, and there was no further reduction of affinity for agonist with addition of GTP to the IAP-treated membranes. As IAP specifically acts on the guanine nucleotide regulatory protein which mediates the inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity (Ni), our findings indicate a possible molecular interaction between the brain D2 dopamine receptor and Ni.

Transmembrane signaling changes with aging.

Altered immune response and transmembrane signaling with aging has previously been demonstrated. The aim of the present study was to characterize PMNLs and lymphocyte G proteins and to determine whether their relative amounts are altered with aging. First we studied the effects of FMLP on PMNLs IP3 formation. It was found that in any group of elderly the PMNLs IP3 formation was significantly decreased compared to that of young subjects. In FMLP receptor binding affinity no measurable difference exists in either low- or high-affinity FMLP receptors. The autoradiogram of 32P-ADP-ribosylated proteins by CT in lymphocytes of young individuals showed a major polypeptide of 40 kDa, and two much less prevalent components of 52 and 45 kDa. In contrast, in lymphocytes of elderly subjects the major polypeptide was 45 kDa, and the two others were very weakly labeled. In PMNLs, CT labeled the 45-kDa band quite strongly, mainly in the elderly, and the 52- and 40-kDa bands were very weakly labeled, mainly in young subjects. When PT was used, no age-related pattern changes could be demonstrated, while differences could be observed between the two types of cells.

Nitric oxide-induced S-nitrosylation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase inhibits enzymatic activity and increases endogenous ADP-ribosylation.

Using conditions that produced chronic inflammation in rat liver, we were able to find a correlation between induction of nitric oxide production and inhibition of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH; EC 1.2.1.12). This enzyme is a tetramer composed of identical M(r) 37,000 subunits. The tetramer contains 16 thiol groups, four of which are essential for enzymatic activity. Our information indicates that four thiol groups are S-nitrosylated by exposure to authentic nitric oxide (NO) gas. Furthermore, NO decreased GAPDH activity while increasing its auto-ADP-ribosylation. Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and dithiothreitol are required for the S-nitrosylation of GAPDH caused by the NO-generating compound sodium nitroprusside. Our results suggests that a new and important action of nitric oxide on cells is the S-nitrosylation and inactivation of GAPDH. S-Nitrosylation of GAPDH may be a key covalent modification of multiple regulatory consequences in chronic liver inflammation.

Amino acid-specific ADP-ribosylation: structural characterization and chemical differentiation of ADP-ribose-cysteine adducts formed nonenzymatically and in a pertussis toxin-catalyzed reaction.

ADP-ribosylation is a posttranslational modification of proteins by amino acid-specific ADP-ribosyltransferases. Both pertussis toxin and eukaryotic enzymes ADP-ribosylate cysteine residues in proteins and also, it has been suggested, free cysteine. Analysis of the reaction mechanisms of cysteine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferases revealed that free ADP-ribose combined nonenzymatically with cysteine. L- and D-cysteine, L-cysteine methyl ester, and cysteamine reacted with ADP-ribose, but alanine, serine, lysine, arginine, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, 2-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol, and glutathione did not. The 1H NMR spectrum of the product, along with the requirement for both free sulfhydryl and amino groups of cysteine, suggested that the reaction produced a thiazolidine linkage. ADP-ribosylthiazolidine was labile to hydroxylamine and mercuric ion, unlike the ADP-ribosylcysteine formed by pertussis toxin and NAD in guanine nucleotide-binding (G-) proteins, which is labile to mercuric ion but stable in hydroxylamine. In the absence of G-proteins but in the presence of NAD and cysteine, pertussis toxin generated a hydroxylamine-sensitive product, suggesting that a free ADP-ribose intermediate, expected to be formed by the NADase activity of the toxin, reacted with cysteine. Chemical analysis, or the use of alternative thiol acceptors lacking a free amine, is necessary to distinguish the enzymatic formation of ADP-ribosylcysteine from nonenzymatic formation of ADP-ribosylthiazolidine, thereby differentiating putative NAD:cysteine ADP-ribosyltransferases from NAD glycohydrolases.
