Adenosine diphosphate ribosylated histones.

ABSTRACT: 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].

Project description:1. The effect of elongation factor 2 (EF 2) and of adenosine diphosphate-ribosylated elongation factor 2 (ADP-ribosyl-EF 2) on the shift of endogenous peptidyl-tRNA from the A to the P site of rat liver ribosomes (measured by the peptidyl-puromycin reaction) and on the release of deacylated tRNA (measured by aminoacylation) was investigated. 2. Limiting amounts of EF2, pre-bound or added to ribosomes, catalyse the shift of peptidyl-tRNA in the presence of GPT; when the enzyme is added in substrate amounts GMP-P(CH2)P [guanosine (beta, gamma-methylene)triphosphate] can partially replace GTP. ADP-ribosyl-EF 2 has no effect on the shift of peptidyl-tRNA when present in catalytic amounts, but becomes almost as effective as EF 2 when added in substrate amounts together with GTP; GMP-P(CH2)P cannot replace GTP. 3. The release of deacylated tRNA is induced only by substrate amounts of added EF 2 and also occurs in the absence of guanine nucleotides. In this reaction ADP-ribosyl-EF 2 is only 25% as effective as EF 2 in the absence of added nucleotide, but becomes 60-80% as effective in the presence of GTP or GMP-P(CH2)P. 4. The results obtained on protein-synthesizing systems are consistent with the hypothesis that ADP-ribosyl-EF 2 can operate a single round of translocation followed by binding of aminoacyl-tRNA and peptide-bond formation. 5. From the data obtained with the native enzyme it is concluded that the two moments of translocation require different conditions of interaction of EF 2 with ribosomes; it is suggested that the shift of peptidyl-tRNA is catalysed by EF 2 pre-bound to ribosomes, and that the release of tRNA is induced by a second molecule of interacting EF 2. The hydrolysis of GTP would be required for the release of pre-bound EF 2 from ribosomes. 5. The inhibition of the utilization of limiting amounts of EF 2 on ADP-ribosylation is very likely the consequence of a concomitant decrease in the rate of association and dissociation of the enzyme from ribosomes.
