Cholera toxin was shown to require the presence of GTP to activate rat liver plasma-membrane adenylate cyclase. ATP did not affect the activation process. 2. Cholera toxin catalysed the incorporation of 32P from NAD labelled in the alpha-phosphate group of the ADP moiety into a rat liver plasma-membrane protein with a subunit mol.wt. of 42 500. This is taken to demonstrate ADP-ribosylation. The ADP-ribosylation of this protein also required GTP and was unaffected by ATP. 3. Nicotinamide inhibited both the activation of adenylate cyclase by cholera toxin and the ADP-ribosylation of the protein of 42 500 subunit mol wt. Neither the activation nor the ADP-ribosylation could be reversed by treatment with nicotinamide in the presence of cholera toxin.
