Pseudomonas aeruginosa exoenzyme S ADP-ribosylates p21ras and several related proteins. ADP-ribosylation of p21ras does not alter interactions with guanine nucleotides. The ras-related GTP-binding proteins, including Rab3, Rab4, Ral, Rap1A, and Rap2, are also substrates; given these results, we propose a model for the role of exoenzyme S in pathogenesis.
