Arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase on the surface of gizzard smooth muscle cells and the involvement of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase in maintaining the activity of this transferase.
An arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase activity was detected in chicken gizzard smooth muscle, and the specific activity is highest in the membrane fraction. This transferase is released from the membrane fraction by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), suggesting that it is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein. When primary cultured gizzard smooth muscle cells (SMCs) were incubated with [adenylate-(32)P]NAD, several proteins were labeled. The labeling was inhibited by preincubation of the cells with PI-PLC, or by the addition of L-arginine to the reaction, and was sensitive to hydroxylamine treatment. The activity of the transferase was maintained in differentiated SMCs cultured with insulin, but was dramatically decreased concomitantly with cell dedifferentiation induced by serum or a specific PI3-kinase inhibitor, LY294002. These results indicate that the GPI-anchored arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase is expressed on the surface of differentiated SMCs and can modify several cell surface proteins. Our results also suggest that PI3-kinase is involved in the regulation of transferase activity during differentiation.
