[ADP-ribosylation of proteins in nuclei and mitochondria from tissues rats of various age exposed gamma-radiation].
Constitutive and gamma-induced ADP-ribosylation of nuclei and mitochondrial proteins in 2- and 29-month-old rats was studied. ADP-ribosylation was determined by binding of [3H]-adenin with the proteins after incubation of cellular organells in reaction mixture supplemented with [adenin-2,8-3H]-NAD. It was detected that the level of total protein ADP-ribosylation in the nuclei is 4.5-6.2 times higher than in the mitochondria. By inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) with 3-aminobenzamidine and treatment of ADP-ribosylated proteins with phosphodiesterase I, it was demonstrated that about 90% of [3H]-adenin bound by proteins in the nuclei and 70% in the mitochondria was the result of PARP activity. The level of total ADP-ribosylation of nuclear and mitochondrial proteins in the tissues of old rats was reliably lower than in young animals. This reduction of ADP-ribosylation in old animals is the result of the lower activity of PARP, not of mono(ADP-ribosyl) transferase (MART). The level of ADP-ribosylation of proteins in the nuclei of brain and spleen cells of 2-month-old rats irradiated with of 5 and 10 Gy was by 49-109% higher than in the control. At the same doses of radiation, the level of ADP-ribosylation of nuclear proteins in brain and spleen of old rats increased only by 29-65% compared to the control. Unlike cell nuclei, the radiation-induced activation of ADP-ribosylation in mitochondria was less expressed: the level of ADP-ribosylation increased by 34-37% in young rats and by 11-27% in old animals. This increased binding of ADP-ribose residues by the proteins of nuclei and mitochondria from tissues of gamma-irradiated rats is exceptionally conditioned by activation of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation because the level of mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation remains constant. The results of this study enable the suggestion that poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation also occurs in the mitochondria of brain and spleen cells of the gamma-irradiated rats, though less pronounced than in cell the cell nuclei of these tissues. Thus, one of the probable causes of the less efficient repair of radiation-induced DNA damage in old organisms is a decline of both constitutive and induced poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of proteins in cell nucleus and mitochondria.
