title: ADP-ribosylation of the bovine brain rho protein by botulinum toxin type C1.
abstract: We have separated at least six GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) with Mr values between 20,000 and 25,000 from bovine brain crude membranes (Kikuchi, A., Yamashita, T., Kawata, M., Yamamoto, K., Ideda, K., Tanimoto, T., and Takai, Y. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 2897-2904). Three of these G proteins were copurified with the proteins ADP-ribosylated by botulinum toxin type C1. One G protein ADP-ribosylated by this toxin was identified to be the bovine brain rho protein (rho p20) which was purified to near homogeneity (Yamamoto, K., Kondo, J., Hishida, T., Teranishi, Y., and Takai, Y. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 9926-9932). rho p20 was ADP-ribosylated by botulinum toxin type C1 in time- and dose-dependent manners. About 0.4 mol of ADP-ribose was maximally incorporated into 1 mol of rho p20. The ADP-ribosylation of rho p20 was dependent on the presence of Mg2+. GTP enhanced the ADP-ribosylation in the presence of a low concentration (50 nM) of Mg2+ but not in the presence of a high concentration (0.5 mM) of Mg2+. The high concentration of Mg2+ fully stimulated the ADP-ribosylation even in the absence of GTP. The ADP-ribosylation of rho p20 did not affect its GTP gamma S-binding and GTPase activities. These results indicate that there are at least three G proteins ADP-ribosylated by botulinum toxin type C1 in bovine brain crude membranes and that one of them is rho p20. Two other G proteins have not yet been identified, but neither the c-ras protein, ADP-ribosylation factor for Gs, nor a G protein with a Mr of 24,000 was ADP-ribosylated by this toxin.
