title: Separation of the 24 kDa substrate for botulinum C3 ADP-ribosyltransferase and the cholera toxin ADP-ribosylation factor.
abstract: Botulinum C3 ADP-ribosyltransferase modifies a approximately 24 kDa membrane protein believed to bind guanine nucleotides. Cholera toxin ADP-ribosylation factors are approximately 19 kDa GTP-binding proteins that directly activate the toxin. To evaluate a possible relationship between C3 ADP-ribosyltransferase substrate and ADP-ribosylation factor, they were partially purified from bovine brain. ADP-ribosylation factor, but not C3 ADP-ribosyltransferase substrate, stimulated auto-ADP-ribosylation of the choleragen A1 subunit whereas C3 ADP-ribosyltransferase substrate, but not ADP-ribosylation factor, was ADP-ribosylated by C3 ADP-ribosyltransferase. Thus, although both may be GTP-binding proteins, no functional similarity between ADP-ribosylation factor and C3 ADP-ribosyltransferase substrate was found.
