Choleragen selectively incorporates 3H from [3H]NAD labeled on the adenosine moiety and not 14C from [14C]NAD labeled on the nicotinamide moiety. This reaction does not require protein in addition to choleragen. Incorporation of isotope does not proceed at 4 degrees, requires dithiothreitol, is stable after extensive washing with cold trichloroacetic acid, and is decreased 80% by boiling in trichloroacetic acid. Studies with the A and B subunits of choleragen show that the A subunit catalyzes ADP-ribosylation and serves as an acceptor protein. The B subunit does not show catalytic or acceptor activity. We conclude that choleragen and its A subunit catalyze the hydrolysis of NAD and the enzymatic transfer of ADP-ribose to the A subunit.
霍乱毒素选择性地结合来自腺苷部分标记有[³H]NAD的³H,而不结合来自烟酰胺部分标记有[¹⁴C]NAD的¹⁴C。除霍乱毒素外,该反应不需要蛋白质。同位素的掺入在4℃下不进行,需要二硫苏糖醇,在用冷三氯乙酸大量洗涤后稳定,并且在三氯乙酸中煮沸会降低80%。对霍乱毒素A和B亚基的研究表明,A亚基催化ADP-核糖基化并作为受体蛋白。B亚基不显示催化或受体活性。我们得出结论,霍乱毒素及其A亚基催化NAD的水解以及ADP-核糖向A亚基的酶促转移。
