title: Endogenous arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferases and target proteins.
abstract: We investigated vertebrate arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferases and target proteins for the enzyme. ADP-ribosyltransferase found in each organelle ADP-ribosylated preferentially an endogenous acceptor protein co-localized with the enzyme. We propose that the ADP-ribosylation of tissue-specific target protein by the endogenous ADP-ribosyltransferase may participate in the regulation of cellular processes, including signal transduction.
