Abstract
The apparent NAD:protein ADP-ribosyl transferase activity of mitochondria and submitochondrial particles from beef heart and rat liver is simulated by a reaction sequence that consists of an enzymic hydrolysis of NAD to ADP-ribose (ADP-Rib) by NAD glycohydrolase(s) and a nonenzymic ADP-ribosylation of acceptor proteins by the free ADP-Rib formed. The nonenzymic ADP-ribosylation of mitochondrial proteins showed two pH optima and exhibited the same remarkable selectivity as the reaction with NAD. The predominant acceptor in beef heart mitochondria was a 30-kDa protein, whereas in mitochondrial extracts of rat liver a 50-55 kDa polypeptide served as an acceptor. No authentic ADP-Rib transferase activity could be detected even when free ADP-Rib was trapped by NH2OH. Once formed, the mitochondrial ADP-Rib conjugates were resistant to hydroxylamine. NH2OH-resistant mono(ADP-Rib)-protein conjugates as found in most cells may also be products of nonenzymic ADP-ribosylation. In mouse tissues, their amounts relate to protein and NAD contents, and they increase specifically and reversibly in the hypothyroid status. Furthermore, intact rat liver mitochondria contain a mono(ADP-Rib)-polypeptide (50-55 kDa) that appeared to be identical with the polypeptide reacting with ADP-Rib in vitro.Entities:
