Abstract
Shortening of airway smooth muscle and bronchoconstriction are pathognomonic for asthma. Airway shortening occurs through calcium-dependent activation of myosin light chain kinase, and RhoA-dependent calcium sensitization, which inhibits myosin light chain phosphatase. The mechanism through which pro-contractile stimuli activate calcium sensitization is poorly understood. Our review of the literature suggests that pro-contractile G protein coupled receptors likely signal through G12/13 to activate RhoA and mediate calcium sensitization. This hypothesis is consistent with the effects of pro-contractile agonists on RhoA and Rho kinase activation, actin polymerization and myosin light chain phosphorylation. Recognizing the likely role of G12/13 signaling in the pathophysiology of asthma rationalizes the effects of pro-contractile stimuli on airway hyperresponsiveness, immune activation and airway remodeling, and suggests new approaches for asthma treatment.

ARH1 in Health and Disease. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12020479.

Abstract
Arginine-specific mono-adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribosylation is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)+-dependent, reversible post-translational modification involving the transfer of an ADP-ribose from NAD+ by bacterial toxins and eukaryotic ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs) to arginine on an acceptor protein or peptide. ADP-ribosylarginine hydrolase 1 (ARH1) catalyzes the cleavage of the ADP-ribose-arginine bond, regenerating (arginine)protein. Arginine-specific mono-ADP-ribosylation catalyzed by bacterial toxins was first identified as a mechanism of disease pathogenesis. Cholera toxin ADP-ribosylates and activates the α subunit of Gαs, a guanine nucleotide-binding protein that stimulates adenylyl cyclase activity, increasing cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), and resulting in fluid and electrolyte loss. Arginine-specific mono-ADP-ribosylation in mammalian cells has potential roles in membrane repair, immunity, and cancer. In mammalian tissues, ARH1 is a cytosolic protein that is ubiquitously expressed. ARH1 deficiency increased tumorigenesis in a gender-specific manner. In the myocardium, in response to cellular injury, an arginine-specific mono-ADP-ribosylation cycle, involving ART1 and ARH1, regulated the level and cellular distribution of ADP-ribosylated tripartite motif-containing protein 72 (TRIM72). Confirmed substrates of ARH1 in vivo are Gαs and TRIM72, however, more than a thousand proteins, ADP-ribosylated on arginine, have been identified by proteomic analysis. This review summarizes the current understanding of the properties of ARH1, e.g., bacterial toxin action, myocardial membrane repair following injury, and tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Clinically, injuries of C5-C7 of the brachial plexus cause falling of the wrist and fingers in infants but not in adults unless 4 consecutive spinal nerves are injured. The purpose of this study was to compare the constituent difference of spinal nerves in the radial nerve between pup and adult rats.A group of 16 pup rats and a group of 16 adult rats were each divided into 2 groups of 8 (P1 and A1 groups, C5-C6 were divided; P2 and A2 groups, C5-C7 were divided]). A nerve conduction study and histological examination were performed to evaluate radial nerve innervation to the extensor digitorum communis muscle after dividing the spinal nerves. Retrograde tracing with 5% cholera toxin B for anterior horn motoneurons of the spinal cord innervating the radial nerve was performed in 8 pup rats and 8 adult rats. Results showed that the division of C5-C7 caused more significant damage to radial nerve innervation to the extensor digitorum communis in pups than in adults, although the division of C5-C6 did not. In pups, the percentages (median with interquartile) of anterior horn motoneurons of the spinal cord innervating the radial nerve were 36.4 (28.3-38.5) in C5-C6, 28.1 (24.5-32.5) in C7, and 37.5 (36.5-39.3) in C8-T1. In adults, they were 24.2 (23.6-27.8) in C5-C6, 21.8 (19.5-26.3) in C7, and 50.7 (48.7-55.5) C8-T1.This study implies that C7 innervation in the radial nerve in humans may be more critical to the function of this nerve in infants than in adults.

Abstract
Streptococcus pyogenes, the aetiological agent of both respiratory and skin infections, produces numerous exotoxins to establish infection. This report identifies a new exotoxin produced by this organism, termed SpyA, for S. pyogenesADP-ribosylating toxin. SpyA, MW 24.9, has amino acid identity with the ADP-riboslytransferases (ADPRTs) Staphylococcus aureus EDIN and Clostridium botulinum C3. Recombinant SpyA was able to hydrolyse beta-NAD(+), and this activity was dependent on a glutamate at position 187. SpyA has a putative biglutamate active site, and similar to most biglutamate ADPRTs, was able to ADP-ribosylate poly-l-arginine. SpyA modified numerous proteins in both CHO and HeLa cell lysates. Two-dimesional gel analysis and MALDI-TOF MS analysis of modified proteins indicated that vimentin, tropomyosin and actin, all cytoskeletal proteins, are targets. Expression of spyA in HeLa cells resulted in loss of actin microfilaments. We hypothesize that SpyA is produced by S. pyogenes to disrupt cytoskeletal structures and promote colonization of the host.

Abstract
Bacterial pathogens utilize several strategies to modulate the organization of the actin cytoskeleton. Some bacterial toxins catalyze the covalent modification of actin or the Rho GTPases, which are involved in the control of the actin cytoskeleton. Other bacteria produce toxins that act as guanine nucleotide exchange factors or GTPase-activating proteins to modulate the nucleotide state of the Rho GTPases. This latter group of toxins provides a temporal modulation of the actin cytoskeleton. A third group of bacterial toxins act as adenylate cyclases, which directly elevate intracellular cAMP to supra-physiological levels. Each class of toxins gives the bacterial pathogen a selective advantage in modulating host cell resistance to infection.

Abstract
Previous studies revealed that human fat cell plasma membranes contain a multireceptor-linked H(2)O(2)-generating system that is under antagonistic control by hormones and cytokines and is stimulated by insulin via Galpha(i2). In this report, it is shown that the inhibitory action of the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol is mediated by G protein betagamma-subunits, based on observations that its action was specifically reversed by anti-Gbeta antibodies or a C-terminal beta-adrenergic receptor kinase-1 fragment containing the Gbetagamma-binding site of the enzyme, and was mimicked by exogenously supplied G protein betagamma-subunits. Isoproterenol signals through a prototypical G(s)-coupled receptor. Consistent with these results, direct activation of G(s) by cholera toxin or by an anti-Galpha(s) antibody exhibiting beta-adrenergic receptor-mimetic properties (K-20) resulted in an isoproterenol-like inhibition of NADPH-dependent H(2)O(2) generation. In addition, a peptide corresponding to the target sequence of K-20 blocked the action of the catecholamine, apparently by competition between the peptide and G(s) for activated beta-adrenergic receptors, indicating that the G protein betagamma-subunits mediating the inhibitory effects of the catecholamine were in fact derived from G(s).

Abstract
Type IIb heat-labile enterotoxin (LT-IIb) is produced by Escherichia coli 41. Restriction fragments of total cell DNA from strain 41 were cloned into a cosmid vector, and one cosmid clone that encoded LT-IIb was identified. The genes for LT-IIb were subcloned into a variety of plasmids, expressed in minicells, sequenced, and compared with the structural genes for other members of the Vibrio cholerae-E. coli enterotoxin family. The A subunits of these toxins all have similar ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. The A genes of LT-IIa and LT-IIb exhibited 71% DNA sequence homology with each other and 55 to 57% homology with the A genes of cholera toxin (CT) and the type I enterotoxins of E. coli (LTh-I and LTp-I). The A subunits of the heat-labile enterotoxins also have limited homology with other ADP-ribosylating toxins, including pertussis toxin, diphtheria toxin, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A. The B subunits of LT-IIa and LT-IIb differ from each other and from type I enterotoxins in their carbohydrate-binding specificities. The B genes of LT-IIa and LT-IIb were 66% homologous, but neither had significant homology with the B genes of CT, LTh-I, and LTp-I. The A subunit genes for the type I and type II enterotoxins represent distinct branches of an evolutionary tree, and the divergence between the A subunit genes of LT-IIa and LT-IIb is greater than that between CT and LT-I. In contrast, it has not yet been possible to demonstrate an evolutionary relationship between the B subunits of type I and type II heat-labile enterotoxins. Hybridization studies with DNA from independently isolated LT-II producing strains of E. coli also suggested that additional variants of LT-II exist.

Abstract
Treatment of intact hepatocytes with cholera toxin at 37 degrees C caused a stable activation of adenylate cyclase activity after a lag period of around 10 min. The presence of either insulin (10 nM) or glucagon (10 nM) in the incubation medium had little effect on this lag period; however, these hormones markedly attenuated the maximal activation of adenylate cyclase activity that could be achieved by treatment with cholera toxin. Such actions of insulin and glucagon were dose-dependent, with EC50 values (concn. giving 50% inhibition) of 0.20 nM for insulin and 0.49 nM for glucagon, and were not additive. Treatment of intact hepatocytes with either glucagon or insulin did not affect the ability of cholera toxin to cause the ADP-ribosylation of the 45 kDa alpha-subunit of the stimulatory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein, Gs, in intact hepatocytes. It is suggested that treatment of intact hepatocytes with either insulin or glucagon attenuates the stimulatory action of ADP-ribosylated Gs on adenylate cyclase.

Abstract
Operon fusions for the Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin type IIa (LT-IIa) operon were isolated and characterized. The LT-IIa genes are organized in a transcriptional unit similar to those of cholera toxin (CT) and the closely related E. coli heat-labile toxin type I (LT-I, with subtypes LTh-I and LTp-I). The nucleotide sequence of the LT-IIa genes was determined and compared with the sequences of LTh-I and CT. The A subunit gene of LT-IIa was found to be 57% homologous with the A subunit gene of LTh-I and 55% homologous with the A gene of CT. Most of the homology derived from the region of the A gene which encodes the A1 fragment. The B gene of LT-IIa was not homologous with the B gene of LTh-I or CT. DNA probes containing various portions of the LT-IIa genes and adjacent sequences were used for hybridization studies with restriction endonuclease fragments of DNA from a collection of LT-II-producing strains. These studies showed that a probe containing much of the A subunit gene hybridized well to DNA from the various strains, but a probe for the B subunit gene did not.

Abstract
Type II heat-labile enterotoxin (LT-II) of Escherichia coli has several biologic activities similar to cholera toxin (CT) and E. coli type I heat-labile enterotoxin (LT-I), but it is not neutralized by antiserum prepared against CT or LT-I. LT-II was purified from E. coli SA53 and from E. coli HB101(pCP3837), a strain that contains the cloned LT-II genes in a hybrid plasmid and produces up to 600 times more LT-II than does SA53. Purification involved sonic disruption of bacterial cells, ammonium sulfate fractionation, chromatography on Affi-Gel Blue, chromatofocusing, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The LT-II purified to apparent homogeneity from HB101(pCP3837) had an isoelectric point of 6.8, induced increased vascular permeability in rabbit intracutaneous tests, caused rounding of cultured Y1 adrenal cells accompanied by increased intracellular cyclic AMP, and was 25 to 50 times more potent than CT or LT-I in the Y1 adrenal-cell assay. In contrast, purified LT-II did not cause secretion in ligated rabbit ileal segments at doses corresponding to CT controls that gave strongly positive reactions. LT-II was composed of two different polypeptides with MrS of 28,000 (A) and 11,800 (B); treatment of LT-II with trypsin cleaved the A polypeptide to fragments A1 (Mr, 21,000) and A2 (Mr, 7,000). The activity of LT-II was not blocked by ganglioside GM1 at concentrations that inactivated LT-I or CT. Antiserum against the LT-II from E. coli HB101(pCP3837) completely neutralized purified LT-II and the LT-II in crude extracts of SA53, but it did not neutralize purified LT-I or CT.

Abstract
Treatment of intact hepatocytes with islet-activating protein, from Bordatella pertussis, led to a pronounced increase in the ability of glucagon to raise intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations. Islet-activating protein, however, caused no apparent increase in the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP under basal conditions. These effects were attributed to an enhanced ability of adenylate cyclase, in membranes from hepatocytes treated with islet-activating protein, to be stimulated by glucagon. When forskolin was used to amplify the basal adenylate cyclase activity, elevated GTP concentrations were shown to inhibit adenylate cyclase activity in membranes from control hepatocytes. This inhibitory effect of GTP was abolished if the hepatocytes had been pre-treated with islet activating protein. In isolated liver plasma membranes, islet-activating protein caused the NAD-dependent ribosylation of a Mr-40000 protein, the putative inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein, Ni. This effect was inhibited if guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate rather than GTP was present in the ribosylation incubations. The ability of glucagon to uncouple or desensitize the activity of adenylate cyclase in intact hepatocytes was also blocked by pre-treating hepatocytes with islet-activating protein. Islet-activating protein thus heightens the response of hepatocytes to the stimulatory hormone glucagon. It achieves this by both inhibiting the expression of desensitization and also removing a residual inhibitory input expressed in the presence of glucagon.

Abstract
The human leukemia cell line HL60 which resembles promyelocytes can be induced to differentiate to cells displaying features of the mature myeloid phenotype by a variety of agents including retinoic acid (RA) and agents that elevate intracellular adenosine 3:5 cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) levels, e.g., 8-bromo-cyclic adenosine 3:5 monophosphate (8-Br-cyclic AMP), cholera toxin. Since most, if not all the effects of cyclic AMP, are mediated by adenosine 3:5 cyclic monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (cyclic AMP-dPK), we investigated the role of cyclic AMP-dPK and adenosine 3:5 cyclic monophosphate-independent protein kinase (cyclic AMP-iPK) in the induced differentiation of HL60 cells. Marked stimulation of cyclic AMP-dPK and cyclic AMP-iPK appears to be intimately involved with and specific for HL60 myeloid differentiation as evidenced by: (1) Stimulation of cyclic AMP-dPK and cyclic AMP-iPK early during HL60 myeloid differentiation and prior to phenotypic changes. (2) RA and dimethylformamide (DMF), agents that induce differentiation along the myeloid pathway, cause a marked increase in the type l cytosolic cyclic AMP-dPK and cyclic AMP-iPK (protamine kinase) while no such increases are noted in cells treated with 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) which induces differentiation along the monocyte/macrophage pathway. (3) Both native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as well as photoaffinity labeling with 8-azido-cyclic AMP demonstrate marked increases in type l cyclic AMP-dPK in the cytosols of cells exposed to agents that induce myeloid differentiation but no increase in TPA-differentiated cells. (4) The appearance and disappearance of specific cyclic AMP-dependent and -independent protein phosphorylations are associated with the induced myeloid differentiated state.

Abstract
The effect of lodoxamide tromethamine, a calcium antagonist, on intestinal fluid accumulation induced by Escherichia coli heat-stable (ST) and Vibrio cholerae (CT) enterotoxins in infant mice was investigated. The simultaneous administration of lodoxamide with ST or CT enterotoxin resulted in a significant (P less than 0.01) inhibition of the intestinal fluid response. A minimum concentration of 10(-7) or 10(-8)M lodoxamide caused an inhibition (P less than 0.01) of the ST- or CT-mediated fluid response, respectively. Treatment of infant mice with buffer or drug alone did not result in fluid accumulation. A significant inhibition of ST and CT enterotoxic activities was also observed when lodoxamide was administered 30 min before (P less than 0.02) or 30 min after (P less than 0.01) toxin challenge. These data suggest that calcium may be important in the ST- or CT-mediated induction of fluid accumulation. Further studies on the potential use of lodoxamide tromethamine in both the prophylaxis and treatment of diarrheal disease appear warranted.

Cholera enterotoxin (CT), at an optimal concentration of 2.38 X 10(-10) M, stimulated calcium uptake (P less than 0.01) and cyclic AMP accumulation (P less than 0.02) in cultured rat basophilic leukemia cells. No significant effect of CT on calcium release or cyclic GMP accumulation was detected. Pharmacologic and chemical agents which block calcium uptake or prostaglandin synthesis antagonized the effect of CT.

Abstract
We compared the time course of saturated phosphatidylcholine secretion and cellular cyclic AMP concentrations in isolated rat alveolar type II cells following stimulation by cholera toxin, terbutaline, and 12-0-tetradecanoyl-13-phorbol acetate. Secretion of saturated phosphatidylcholine was stimulated by cholera toxin at concentrations from 1.2 X 10(-11) M to 5.0 X 10(-7) M. In time course experiments there was no significant stimulation with cholera toxin before 1 hr; all subsequent points between 90 and 180 min were significantly different from controls. Secretion stimulated by 10 microM terbutaline was similar in magnitude to stimulation by 1.2 X 10(-9) M cholera toxin; stimulation following either of these agonists was higher than control secretion and lower than secretion stimulated by 10 nM 12-0-tetradecanoyl-13-phorbol acetate. Terbutaline caused an early rise in cellular cyclic AMP that peaked within 5 min and then returned to basal level by 60 min. In contrast, cholera toxin did not increase cellular cAMP levels until 60 min after addition, but then produced a sustained increase in cyclic AMP levels for up to 3 hr. In conclusion, we have presented evidence that more than one mechanism exists by which secretion can be stimulated in type II cells. It is likely that both terbutaline and cholera toxin act by stimulating cellular cyclic AMP and that 12-0-tetradecanoyl-13-phorbol acetate acts by a mechanism different from terbutaline or cholera toxin.

Abstract
Insulin failed to exert an effect on the basal and glucagon- and guanosine 5'-[beta, gamma-imido]-triphosphate-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities of hepatocyte membranes. In the presence of high GTP (0.1 mM) concentrations, however, insulin was shown to inhibit adenylate cyclase activity. This effect was dose-dependent, exhibiting an EC50 (median effective concentration) of 3 microM for GTP. Elevated glucagon concentrations blocked the inhibitory effect of insulin in a dose-dependent fashion, with an EC50 of 1 nM. The insulin inhibition was dose-dependent (EC50 = 90 pM). The inhibitory effects of insulin were abolished using membranes from either glucagon-desensitized hepatocytes or cholera-toxin-treated hepatocytes. If either Mn2+ replaced Mg2+ in adenylate cyclase assays or Na+ was removed from the assay mixtures then insulin failed to exert any inhibitory effect. It is suggested that insulin exerts its action on adenylate cyclase through an inhibitory guanine nucleotide protein. This is integrated with the proposal [Heyworth, Rawal & Houslay (1983) FEBS Lett. 154, 87-91; Heyworth, Wallace & Houslay (1983) Biochem. J. in the press] that insulin mediates a variety of cellular effects through a specific guanine nucleotide regulatory protein and associated protein kinase(s).

Abstract
The content of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate in human mononuclear leukocytes was enhanced 3-5-times by venoms obtained from African toad (Bufo africanus), American toad (Bufo americanus), Colorado river toad (Bufo arenarum) and Marine toad (Bufo marinus) at 25 micrograms/ml for 5 min of incubation at 37 degrees C. The maximum stimulation was observed after 1-5 min of incubation. The half-maximal stimulation was observed at 0.1 micrograms/ml venom obtained from Colorado river toad (Bufo arenarum). The increased content of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate in the mononuclear leukocytes persisted without significant change for at least 30 min of incubation at 37 degrees C.

Abstract
The influence of cholera toxin on hormonal inhibition of adenylate cyclase and concomitant stimulation of low Km GTPase was studied in adipocyte membrane preparations. In hamster adipocyte ghosts, cholera toxin caused an about 8-fold activation of the adenylate cyclase. The antilipolytic hormonal factors, prostaglandin E1 (1 micro M), N6-phenylisopropyladenosine (1 micro M) and nicotinic acid (30 micro M) reduced both basal and cholera toxin-stimulated enzyme activities. Similar data with regard to inhibition of cholera toxin-stimulated adenylate cyclase were obtained in mouse and rat adipocyte ghosts. As studied in hamster adipocyte ghosts, prostaglandin E1 (1 micro M) increased GTP hydrolysis by a low Km GTPase by about 3-4 fold. Pretreatment of the membrane preparation with cholera toxin did not impair prostaglandin E1-induced GTPase stimulation. The data suggest that cholera toxin does not directly affect the GTPase enzyme stimulated by adenylate cyclase inhibitory hormones.

Abstract
Depsite the high incidence of cystic fibrosis there is no clear cut direction to research into the basic defect responsible for this disorder. This is, at least in part, due to the exceptional amount of irreproducibility surrounding the disease. The defective ion reabsorption in CF sweat glands may be a prototype of a generalized failure to correctly process exocrine gland primary secretions. Such a physiological defect could account for many of the clinical symptoms of CF. It is hypothesised that one or more secreted proteinase(s) may mediate the events of secretion processing. A mutation in the structural gene for such a proteinase or a regulating anti-proteinase or some enzyme carrying out a functionally important post translational modification of the proteinase would then account for the disease.

Abstract
The role of the cellular cytoskeletal system of microtubules and microfilaments on gonadotropin-stimulated progesterone production by isolated rat luteal cells has been investigated. Exposure of luteal cells to human choriogonadotropin resulted in a stimulation of cyclic AMP (4-7-fold) and progesterone (3-4-fold) responses.l Incubation of cells with the microfilament modifier cytochalasin B inhibited the gonadotropin-induced steroidogenesis in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The effect of cytochalasin B on basal production of steroid was less pronounced. Cytochalasin B also inhibited the accumulation of progesterone in response to lutropin, cholera enterotoxin, dibutyryl cyclic AMP and 8-bromo cyclic AMP. The inhibition of steroidogenesis by cytochalasin B was not due to (a) inhibition of 125I-labelled human choriogonadotropin binding to luteal cells, (b) inhibition of gonadotropin-stimulated cyclic AMP formation or (c) a general cytotoxic effect and/or inhibition of protein biosynthesis. Cytochalasin D, like cytochalasin B, inhibited gonadotropin- and 8-bromo cyclic AMP-stimulated steroidogenesis. Although cytochalasin B also blocked the transport of 3-O-methyl-glucose into luteal cells, cytochalasin D was without such an effect. Increasing glucose concentration in the medium, or using pyruvate as an alternative energy source, failed to reverse the inhibitory effect of cytochalasin B. The anti-microtubular agent colchicine failed to modulate synthesis and release of progesterone by luteal cells in response to human choriogonadotropin. These studies suggest that the cellular microfilaments may be involved in the regulation of gonadotropin-induced steroidogenesis. In contrast, microtubules appear to be not directly involved in this process.

Abstract
In organ cultures of mammary glands from mice in midpregnancy, addition of both insulin and prolactin induces a marked accumulation of alpha-lactalbumin, whereas the augmentation of casein synthesis requires the presence of insulin, prolactin, and cortisol. Addition of 0.5 mM dibutyryl cyclic AMP resulted in complete inhibition of alpha-lactalbumin accumulation and partial inhibition of casein synthesis. Furthermore, either cholera toxin at 0.1-1.0 microgram/ml (a stimulator of adenylate cyclase) or 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase) in combination with 2 mM cyclic AMP, produced a similar pattern of inhibition of alpha-lactalbumin and casein synthesis in cultured tissue. During culture of mammary explants in medium containing no hormone, or insulin alone, or insulin, prolactin, and cortisol, the tissue content of cyclic AMP decreased rapidly, reaching half the initial level in 24-48 hr. These results indicate that cyclic AMP plays "negative" regulatory function in hormonal induction of milk protein synthesis during the development of the mammary gland.

Abstract
Regulation of the immune system is accomplished, in part, by numerous soluble factors and small molecules. One such class of regulatory substances may be the polyamines which are present in a variety of tissues. Stimulation of the immune response often occurs by crosslinking of lymphocyte surface proteins, followed by the production of some transmembrane signal. The activation pathway may be interrupted if certain necessary steps are blocked. It is proposed that polyamines exert regulatory influences by modulating crosslink formation; a step catalyzed by the enzyme transglutaminase. A model is outlined which describes the events initiating lymphocyte activation and the role of polyamines in this process. Certain drugs which might mimic the actions of polyamines are also discussed. During evolution of the control of growth processes in cells, relatively simple molecules (the polyamines) may have assumed a pivotal role in initiating and terminating the proliferative response. This idea has been applied to regulation of the immune system.
