ADP-ribosylation of the GTP-binding protein Rho by Clostridium limosum exoenzyme affects basal, but not N-formyl-peptide-stimulated, actin polymerization in human myeloid leukaemic (HL60) cells.


ABSTRACT: Treatment of human myeloid leukaemic (HL60) cells with Clostridium limosum exoenzyme, which inactivates the small GTP-binding protein Rho by ADP-ribosylation, decreased the basal F-actin content. Inhibition of F-actin occurred after long-term treatment (24 h) of intact HL60 cells or after introduction of the toxin by electropermeabilization in a toxin-concentration-dependent manner. Concomitantly with the decrease in the basal F-actin content, the GTP-binding protein Rho was ADP-ribosylated in intact cells. However, Clostridium limosum toxin had no inhibitory effect on N-formyl-peptide-induced actin polymerization. Moreover, the relative N-formyl-peptide-stimulated polymerization was substantially enhanced in cells treated with Clostridium limosum transferase. In contrast with Clostridium limosum exoenzyme, component C21 of the Clostridium botulinum C2 toxin, which ADP-ribosylates G-actin, depolymerized basal F-actin and inhibited N-formyl-peptide-induced actin polymerization in electropermeabilized HL60 cells. These findings indicate that Rho proteins are involved in the basal, but not the ligand-evoked, actin polymerization in HL60 cells.
