A note on the ADP-ribose-protein linkages in rat-liver nuclei: a possible approach to assessing megavitamin therapy with niacin.
Nuclei isolated from rat liver were incubated with NAD whose two ribose moieties were respectively labeled with 3H or 14C. By enzymatic (phosphodiesterase) and/or chemical (hydroxylamine) attack on doubly labeled ADP-ribosylated nuclear residues, AMP was found after hydroxylaminolysis as well as iso-ADP-ribose after phosphodiesterase plus hydroxylamine, in the absence of detectable amounts of ribose-5-phosphate. This is taken to indicate the existence of additional ribose-protein binding sites in in vitro ADP-ribosylated nuclear proteins: Besides C-1" (Hayaishi et al., Stocken et al.) C-2' and/or C-3' (purine-near) as well as C-2" and/or C-3" (pyrimidine-near), not only at the end but also within the chain of oligo-ADPR.
