title: Endogenous ADP-ribosylation of a G(alpha i) protein in bovine ciliary body is stimulated by nitric oxide.
abstract: Five ciliary body membrane proteins were labeled when incubated with (adenylate-32P)NAD. Nitric oxide donors stimulated the labeling of 64, 40, and 29-30 kDa proteins and inhibited that of 58 and 56 kDa proteins. The greatest influence of nitric oxide was on the 40 kDa protein: a 17-fold stimulation. Western blotting and immunoprecipitation with specific antibodies identified this protein as the alpha-subunit of G(i-1). Studies with inhibitors showed that the protein was mono-ADP-ribosylated. Treatment of (32P)NAD-labeled G(i-1) with Hg and analysis of the released radioactive material showed that the protein was ADP-ribosylated on a cysteine residue.
