Arginine-specific ADP-ribosylation is one of the posttranslational modifications of proteins by transferring one ADP-ribose moiety of NAD to arginine residues of target proteins. This modification, catalyzed by ADP-ribosyltransferase (Art), is reversed by ADP-ribosylarginine hydrolase (AAH). In this study, we describe a new method combining an anti-ADP-ribosylarginine antibody (alphaADP-R-Arg Ab) and AAH for detection of the target protein of ADP-ribosylation. We have raised alphaADP-R-Arg Ab with ADP-ribosylated histone and examined the reactivity of the antibody with proteins treated by Art and/or AAH, as well as in situ ADP-ribosylation system with mouse T cells. Our results indicate that the detection of ADP-ribosylated protein with alphaADP-R-Arg Ab and AAH is a useful tool to explore the target proteins of ADP-ribosylation. We applied the method to search endogenously ADP-ribosylated protein in the rat, and detected possible target proteins in the skeletal muscle, which has high Art activity.
精氨酸特异性 ADP-核糖基化是蛋白质翻译后修饰之一,通过将 NAD 的一个 ADP-核糖部分转移到靶蛋白的精氨酸残基上实现。这种修饰由 ADP-核糖基转移酶(Art)催化,并由 ADP-核糖基精氨酸水解酶(AAH)逆转。在本研究中,我们描述了一种将抗 ADP-核糖基精氨酸抗体(αADP-R-Arg Ab)和 AAH 相结合用于检测 ADP-核糖基化靶蛋白的新方法。我们用 ADP-核糖基化组蛋白制备了 αADP-R-Arg Ab,并检测了该抗体与经 Art 和/或 AAH 处理的蛋白质以及小鼠 T 细胞原位 ADP-核糖基化系统中蛋白质的反应性。我们的结果表明,用 αADP-R-Arg Ab 和 AAH 检测 ADP-核糖基化蛋白是探索 ADP-核糖基化靶蛋白的有用工具。我们应用该方法在大鼠中寻找内源性 ADP-核糖基化蛋白,并在具有高 Art 活性的骨骼肌中检测到了可能的靶蛋白。
