ADP-ribosylation is an important post-translational protein modification; however, endogenous substrates are poorly characterized. In these studies we examined the effects of nitric oxide on the ADP-ribosylation of neutrophil proteins. Purified cytosol and plasma membrane were incubated with 32P-NAD (5 microM, 1 microCi, 30 min) in the presence or absence of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide induced the ADP-ribosylation of the 37 kD substrate present only in cytosol. Nitric oxide treatment of plasma membrane plus cytosol revealed the ADP-ribosylation of an additional 43 kD protein. This 43 kD substrate was identified as actin by both phalloidin precipitation and immunoblot (2-D) gel using specific anti-actin antibodies. The data indicate that nitric oxide stimulates the ADP-ribosylation of two discrete substrates in fractionated PMN, one of which can be identified as actin. NO-induced ADP-ribosylation may contribute to the modulatory effect of nitric oxide on neutrophil functions, including F-actin assembly.

D009569	Nitric Oxide	A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.

D000199	Actins	Filamentous proteins that are the main constituent of the thin filaments of muscle fibers. The filaments (known also as filamentous or F-actin) can be dissociated into their globular subunits; each subunit is composed of a single polypeptide 375 amino acids long. This is known as globular or G-actin. In conjunction with MYOSINS, actin is responsible for the contraction and relaxation of muscle.
