Activation of a Cytosolic ADP-ribosyltransferase by Nitric Oxide-generating Agents

Abstract

Sodium nitroprusside is a vasodilator and an inhibitor of platelet activation. It is thought that these effects are mediated by the spontaneous release of nitric oxide and stimulation of cytosolic guanylate cyclase. We have found that sodium nitroprusside (5-200 microM) greatly increased a cytosolic ADP-ribosyltransferase that ADP-ribosylates a soluble 39-kDa protein. This activity causes the mono-ADP-ribosylation of the 39-kDa protein, since digestion with snake venom phosphodiesterase releases 5'-AMP. This enzyme is present in platelets, brain, heart, intestine, liver, and lung. The effect of sodium nitroprusside is not related to stimulation of soluble guanylate cyclase and the production of cyclic GMP because cyclic GMP, dibutyryl cyclic GMP, and 8-bromo-cyclic GMP are ineffective. 3-Morpholinosydnonimine (commonly known as SIN-1) (20-1000 micrograms/ml), another compound that acts through the spontaneous formation of nitric oxide as does sodium nitroprusside, also stimulates ADP-ribosylation of the 39-kDa protein. Hemoglobin, which binds nitric oxide, inhibits sodium nitroprusside's activation of the cytosolic ADP-ribosyltransferase. These studies demonstrate a novel action of nitric oxide related to the activation of an endogenous ADP-ribosyltransferase. The physiological role of this ADP-ribosylation needs further exploration.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
