ADP-ribosylation of proteins associated with heterogeneous nuclear RNA in rat liver nuclei. 1982

G Kostka, and A Schweiger

Purified rat liver nuclei were incubated in vitro in the presence of [adenylate-32P]nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. The label was rapidly incorporated into trichloroacetic acid-insoluble material and also detected in particles carrying heterogeneous nuclear RNA. The particles were isolated by density gradient centrifugation, and their size determined to be 30-40 S from parallel experiments using nuclei labelled with [3H]uridine 5'-triphosphate under similar conditions. Treatment of the 30-40 S-particles with enzymes of different specificities showed that the label was tightly bound to proteins, not incorporated into nuclei acids and not utilized in phosphorylation of proteins. The label was detached by phosphodiesterase I from snake venom and identified as ADP-ribose and adenosine 5'-phosphate present at a ratio of 7.5 to 1 using thin layer chromatography on poly(ethyleneimine)-cellulose. Radioactively labelled (ADP-ribosylated) proteins were visualized by autoradiography following SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. They included several major species of the ribonucleoprotein with molecular weights of 36000, 39000 and 42000, and a limited number of high molecular weight polypeptides.

D009249	NADP	Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-phosphate (NMN) coupled by pyrophosphate linkage to the 5'-phosphate adenosine 2',5'-bisphosphate. It serves as an electron carrier in a number of reactions, being alternately oxidized (NADP+) and reduced (NADPH).

D011506	Proteins	Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.

D002467	Cell Nucleus	Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed)	Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012266	Ribose	A pentose active in biological systems usually in its D-form.	D-Ribose,D Ribose
D012313	RNA	A polynucleotide consisting essentially of chains with a repeating backbone of phosphate and ribose units to which nitrogenous bases are attached. RNA is unique among biological macromolecules in that it can encode genetic information, serve as an abundant structural component of cells, and also possesses catalytic activity.
