title: Localization of an arginine-specific mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase in skeletal muscle sarcolemma and transverse tubules.
abstract: The precise localization of a membrane-bound, arginine-specific mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase (mADP-RT) was assessed in rabbit skeletal muscle by studying membrane fractions isolated by successive sucrose density gradient centrifugations. mADP-RT activity was 10-fold enriched in sarcolemmal and T-tubular membranes. The catalytic activity, determined in preparations with mainly right-side-out vesicles, was found to be on the cytoplasmic face. As revealed by SDS-PAGE and autoradiography endogenous mADP-RT activity labeled several proteins in the range between 15 kDa and 250 kDa. T-tubules contained the highest number of [32P]ADP-ribose-labeled proteins.
