Abstract
Cells must be able to cope with the challenge of folding newly synthesized proteins and refolding those that have become misfolded in the context of a crowded cytosol. One such coping mechanism that has appeared during evolution is the expression of well-conserved molecular chaperones, such as those that are part of the heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) family of proteins that bind and fold a large proportion of the proteome. Although Hsp70 family chaperones have been extensively examined for the last 50 years, most studies have focused on regulation of Hsp70 activities by altered transcription, co-chaperone "helper" proteins, and ATP binding and hydrolysis. The rise of modern proteomics has uncovered a vast array of post-translational modifications (PTMs) on Hsp70 family proteins that include phosphorylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, AMPylation, and ADP-ribosylation. Similarly to the pattern of histone modifications, the histone code, this complex pattern of chaperone PTMs is now known as the "chaperone code." In this review, we discuss the history of the Hsp70 chaperone code, its currently understood regulation and functions, and thoughts on what the future of research into the chaperone code may entail.

ARTC1-mediated ADP-ribosylation of GRP78/BiP: a new player in endoplasmic-reticulum stress responses. Cell Mol Life Sci 2015; 72:1209-25.

Abstract
Protein mono-ADP-ribosylation is a reversible post-translational modification of cellular proteins. This scheme of amino-acid modification is used not only by bacterial toxins to attack host cells, but also by endogenous ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs) in mammalian cells. These latter ARTs include members of three different families of proteins: the well characterised arginine-specific ecto-enzymes (ARTCs), two sirtuins, and some members of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP/ARTD) family. In the present study, we demonstrate that human ARTC1 is localised to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), in contrast to the previously characterised ARTC proteins, which are typical GPI-anchored ecto-enzymes. Moreover, using the "macro domain" cognitive binding module to identify ADP-ribosylated proteins, we show here that the ER luminal chaperone GRP78/BiP (glucose-regulated protein of 78 kDa/immunoglobulin heavy-chain-binding protein) is a cellular target of human ARTC1 and hamster ARTC2. We further developed a procedure to visualise ADP-ribosylated proteins using immunofluorescence. With this approach, in cells overexpressing ARTC1, we detected staining of the ER that co-localises with GRP78/BiP, thus confirming that this modification occurs in living cells. In line with the key role of GRP78/BiP in the ER stress response system, we provide evidence here that ARTC1 is activated during the ER stress response, which results in acute ADP-ribosylation of GRP78/BiP paralleling translational inhibition. Thus, this identification of ARTC1 as a regulator of GRP78/BiP defines a novel, previously unsuspected, player in GRP78-mediated ER stress responses.

Abstract
The mitogenic dermonecrotic toxin from Pasteurella multocida (PMT) is a 1285-residue multipartite protein that belongs to the A-B family of bacterial protein toxins. Through its G-protein-deamidating activity on the α subunits of heterotrimeric G(q)-, G(i)- and G(12/13)-proteins, PMT potently stimulates downstream mitogenic, calcium, and cytoskeletal signaling pathways. These activities lead to pleiotropic effects in different cell types, which ultimately result in cellular proliferation, while inhibiting cellular differentiation, and account for the myriad of physiological outcomes observed during infection with toxinogenic strains of P. multocida.

Abstract
The mitogenic toxin from Pasteurella multocida (PMT) is a member of the dermonecrotic toxin family, which includes toxins from Bordetella, Escherichia coli and Yersinia. Members of the dermonecrotic toxin family modulate G-protein targets in host cells through selective deamidation and/or transglutamination of a critical active site Gln residue in the G-protein target, which results in the activation of intrinsic GTPase activity. Structural and biochemical data point to the uniqueness of PMT among these toxins in its structure and action. Whereas the other dermonecrotic toxins act on small Rho GTPases, PMT acts on the α subunits of heterotrimeric G(q) -, G(i) - and G(12/13) -protein families. To date, experimental evidence supports a model in which PMT potently stimulates various mitogenic and survival pathways through the activation of G(q) and G(12/13) signaling, ultimately leading to cellular proliferation, whilst strongly inhibiting pathways involved in cellular differentiation through the activation of G(i) signaling. The resulting cellular outcomes account for the global physiological effects observed during infection with toxinogenic P. multocida, and hint at potential long-term sequelae that may result from PMT exposure.

Abstract
The mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation reaction is a post-translational modification that is catalysed by both bacterial toxins and eukaryotic enzymes, and that results in the transfer of ADP-ribose from betaNAD+ to various acceptor proteins. In mammals, both intracellular and extracellular reactions have been described; the latter are due to glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored or secreted enzymes that are able to modify their targets, which include the purinergic receptor P2X7, the defensins and the integrins. Intracellular mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation modifies proteins that have roles in cell signalling and metabolism, such as the chaperone GRP78/BiP, the beta-subunit of heterotrimeric G-proteins and glutamate dehydrogenase. The molecular identification of the intracellular enzymes, however, is still missing. A better molecular understanding of this reaction will help in the full definition of its role in cell physiology and pathology.

Abstract
Mono-ADP-ribosylation is a post-translational modification of cellular proteins that has been implicated in the regulation of signal transduction, muscle cell differentiation, protein trafficking, and secretion. In several cell systems we have observed that the major substrate of endogenous mono-ADP-ribosylation is a 36-kDa protein. This ADP-ribosylated protein was both recognized in Western blotting experiments and selectively immunoprecipitated by a G protein beta subunit-specific polyclonal antibody, indicating that this protein is the G protein beta subunit. The ADP-ribosylation of the beta subunit was due to a plasma membrane-associated enzyme, was sensitive to treatment with hydroxylamine, and was inhibited by meta-iodobenzylguanidine, indicating that the involved enzyme is an arginine-specific mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase. By mutational analysis, the target arginine was located in position 129. The ADP-ribosylated beta subunit was also deribosylated by a cytosolic hydrolase. This ADP-ribosylation/deribosylation cycle might be an in vivo modulator of the interaction of betagamma with specific effectors. Indeed, we found that the ADP-ribosylated betagamma subunit is unable to inhibit calmodulin-stimulated type 1 adenylyl cyclase in cell membranes and that the endogenous ADP-ribosylation of the beta subunit occurs in intact Chinese hamster ovary cells, where the NAD(+) pool was labeled with [(3)H]adenine. These results show that the ADP-ribosylation of the betagamma subunit could represent a novel cellular mechanism in the regulation of G protein-mediated signal transduction.

Abstract
We are studying endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) with the use of a truncated variant of the type I ER transmembrane glycoprotein ribophorin I (RI). The mutant protein, RI(332), containing only the N-terminal 332 amino acids of the luminal domain of RI, has been shown to interact with calnexin and to be a substrate for the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. When RI(332) was expressed in HeLa cells, it was degraded with biphasic kinetics; an initial, slow phase of approximately 45 min was followed by a second phase of threefold accelerated degradation. On the other hand, the kinetics of degradation of a form of RI(332) in which the single used N-glycosylation consensus site had been removed (RI(332)-Thr) was monophasic and rapid, implying a role of the N-linked glycan in the first proteolytic phase. RI(332) degradation was enhanced when the binding of glycoproteins to calnexin was prevented. Moreover, the truncated glycoprotein interacted with calnexin preferentially during the first proteolytic phase, which strongly suggests that binding of RI(332) to the lectin-like protein may result in the slow, initial phase of degradation. Additionally, mannose trimming appears to be required for efficient proteolysis of RI(332). After treatment of cells with the inhibitor of N-glycosylation, tunicamycin, destruction of the truncated RI variants was severely inhibited; likewise, in cells preincubated with the calcium ionophore A23187, both RI(332) and RI(332)-Thr were stabilized, despite the presence or absence of the N-linked glycan. On the other hand, both drugs are known to trigger the unfolded protein response (UPR), resulting in the induction of BiP and other ER-resident proteins. Indeed, only in drug-treated cells could an interaction between BiP and RI(332) and RI(332)-Thr be detected. Induction of BiP was also evident after overexpression of murine Ire1, an ER transmembrane kinase known to play a central role in the UPR pathway; at the same time, stabilization of RI(332) was observed. Together, these results suggest that binding of the substrate proteins to UPR-induced chaperones affects their half lives.

Abstract
We have shown that Pasteurella multocida toxin (PMT) directly causes transient activation of Gqalpha protein that is coupled to phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase Cbeta1 in Xenopus oocytes (B. A. Wilson, X. Zhu, M. Ho, and L. Lu, J. Biol. Chem. 272:1268-1275, 1997). We found that antibodies directed against an N-terminal peptide of PMT inhibited the toxin-induced response in Xenopus oocytes, but antibodies against a C-terminal peptide did not. To test whether the intracellular activity domain of PMT is localized to the N terminus, we conducted a deletion mutational analysis of the PMT protein, using the Xenopus oocyte system as a means of screening for toxin activity. Using PCR and conventional cloning techniques, we cloned from a toxinogenic strain of P. multocida the entire toxA gene, encoding the 1,285-amino-acid PMT protein, and expressed the recombinant toxin as a His-tagged fusion protein in Escherichia coli. We subsequently generated a series of N-terminal and C-terminal deletion mutants and expressed the His-tagged PMT fragments in E. coli. These proteins were screened for cytotoxic activity on cultured Vero cells and for intracellular activity in the Xenopus oocyte system. Only the full-length protein without the His tag exhibited activity on Vero cells. The full-length PMT and N-terminal fragments containing the first 500 residues elicited responses in oocytes, but the C-terminal 780 amino acid fragment did not. Our results confirm that the intracellular activity domain of PMT is localized to the N-terminal 500 amino acids of the protein and that the C terminus is required for entry into cells.

Abstract
The role of GRP78/BiP in coordinating endoplasmic reticular (ER) protein processing with mRNA translation was examined in GH3 pituitary cells. ADP-ribosylation of GRP78 and eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF)-2alpha phosphorylation were assessed, respectively, as indices of chaperone inactivation and the inhibition of translational initiation. Inhibition of protein processing by ER stress (ionomycin and dithiothreitol) resulted in GRP78 deribosylation and eIF-2 phosphorylation. Suppression of translation relative to ER protein processing (cycloheximide) produced approximately 50% ADP-ribosylation of GRP78 within 90 min without eIF-2 phosphorylation. ADP-ribosylation was reversed in 90 min by cycloheximide removal in a manner accelerated by ER stressors. Cycloheximide sharply reduced eIF-2 phosphorylation in response to ER stressors for about 30 min; sensitivity returned as GRP78 became increasingly ADP-ribosylated. Reduced sensitivity of eIF-2 to phosphorylation appeared to derive from the accumulation of free, unmodified chaperone as proteins completed processing without replacements. Prolonged (24 h) incubations with cycloheximide resulted in the selective loss of the ADP-ribosylated form of GRP78 and increased sensitivity of eIF-2 phosphorylation in response to ER stressors. Brefeldin A decreased ADP-ribosylation of GRP78 in parallel with increased eIF-2 phosphorylation. The cytoplasmic stressor, arsenite, which inhibits translational initiation through eIF-2 phosphorylation without affecting the ER, also produced ADP-ribosylation of GRP78.

Abstract
Of 15 athymic nude mice that received subcutaneous implants of a rat osteosarcoma cell line, two groups of four subsequently received either a short (group 1) or a more prolonged (group 2) course of subcutaneous injections of the dermonecrotic toxin (DNT) of Pasteurella multocida type D. The remaining seven mice (controls) received no DNT. Both groups of DNT-treated mice lost body weight as compared with controls. Tumour weight, expressed as a percentage of body weight, increased in the four group 1 mice. Tumours in this group 1 were consistently larger than those in appropriate controls, indicating that this percentage was not simply a function of decreased body weight. The immunohistochemical labelling of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and morphometric analysis of intratumoral necrosis suggested that the DNT had a mitogenic effect and contributed to the neoplastic growth. The presence of foci of neoplastic osteoblasts in the lungs of some DNT-treated mice suggested that the enhanced tumour growth led to an increased incidence of metastasis.

Abstract
Chemicals and conditions that damage proteins, promote protein misfolding, or inhibit protein processing trigger the onset of protective homeostatic mechanisms resulting in "stress responses" in mammalian cells. Included in these responses are an acute inhibition of mRNA translation at the initiation step, a subsequent induction of various protein chaperones, and the recovery of mRNA translation. Separate, but closely related, stress response systems exist for the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), relating to the induction of specific "glucose-regulated proteins" (GRPs), and for the cytoplasm, pertaining to the induction of the "heat shock proteins" (HSPs). Activators of the ER stress response system, including Ca(2+)-mobilizing and thiol-reducing agents, are discussed and compared to activators of the cytoplasmic stress system, such as arsenite, heavy metal cations, and oxidants. An emerging integrative literature is reviewed that relates protein chaperones associated with cellular stress response systems to the coordinate regulation of translational initiation and protein processing. Background information is presented describing the roles of protein chaperones in the ER and cytoplasmic stress response systems and the relationships of chaperones and protein processing to the regulation of mRNA translation. The role of chaperones in regulating eIF-2 alpha kinase activities, eIF-2 cycling, and ribosomal loading on mRNA is emphasized. The putative role of GRP78 in coupling rates of translation to processing is modeled, and functional relationships between the HSP and GRP chaperone systems are discussed.

Abstract
Pasteurella multocida toxin (PMT) has been hypothesized to cause activation of a GTP-binding protein (G-protein)-coupled phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PLC) in intact cells. We used voltage-clamped Xenopus oocytes to test for direct PMT-mediated stimulation of PLC by monitoring the endogenous Ca2+-dependent C1- current. Injection of PMT induced an inward, two-component Cl- current, similar to that evoked by injection of IP3 through intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and Ca2+ influx through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. These PMT-induced currents were blocked by specific inhibitors of Ca2+ and Cl- channels, removal of extracellular Ca2+, or chelation of intracellular Ca2+. Specific antibodies directed against an N-terminal, but not a C-terminal, peptide of PMT inhibited the toxin-induced currents, implicating that the N terminus of PMT is important for toxin activity. Injection with specific antibodies against PLCbeta1, PLCbeta2, PLCbeta3, or PLCgamma1 identified PLCbeta1 as the primary mediator of the PMT-induced Cl- currents. Injection with guanosine 5'-O-(2-(thio)diphosphate), antibodies to the common GTP-binding region of G-protein alpha subunits, or antibodies to different regions of G-protein beta subunits established the involvement of a G-protein alpha subunit in PMT-activation of PLCbeta1. Injection with specific antibodies against the alpha-subunits of G(q/11), G(s/olf), G(i/o/t/z), or G(i-1/i-2/i-3) isoforms confirmed the involvement of Gq/11alpha. Preinjection of oocytes with pertussis toxin enhanced the PMT response. Overexpression of G(q)alpha in oocytes could enhance the PMT response by 30-fold to more than 300-fold, whereas introduction of antisense G(q)alpha cRNA reduced the response by 7-fold. The effects of various specific antibodies on the PMT response were reproduced in oocytes overexpressing G(q)alpha.

Abstract
When the heterologous proteins thaumatin and bovine prochymosin are produced in yeast cells as a fusion with the yeast invertase secretory signal peptide, less than 2% of the product is secreted in a biologically active form into the medium. The remainder accumulates intracellularly in a misfolded conformation. We investigated whether this poor secretion can be improved by overexpression of binding protein (BiP) one of the major chaperones in eukaryotic cells. Indeed, a tenfold increase in the level of binding protein, as a result of the introduction of extra copies of the kar2 gene into yeast cells containing a single, integrated copy of the invertase/prochymosin fusion gene, caused more than a 20-fold increase in the amount of extracellular prochymosin. By additional disruption of the PMR1 gene of these cells we were able to obtain secretion of virtually all of the prochymosin produced. Export of thaumatin, on the other hand, was not significantly stimulated by binding protein overexpression.

Abstract
BiP is a constitutively-expressed resident protein of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of all eucaryotic cells, and belongs to the highly conserved hsp70 protein family. In the ER, BiP is involved in polypeptide translocation, protein folding and presumably protein degradation as well. These functions are essential to cell viability, as has been shown for yeast. In this review, I will summarize the structural features of hsp70 proteins and focus on those experiments which revealed the biological function of BiP.

Abstract
Starvation of mouse hepatoma cells for essential amino acids or glucose results in the ADP-ribosylation of the molecular chaperone BiP/GRP78. Addition of the missing nutrient to the medium reverses the reaction. The signal mediating the response to environmental nutrients involves the translational efficiency. An inhibitor of proteins synthesis, cycloheximide, or reduced temperature, both of which reduce translational efficiency, stimulate the ADP-ribosylation of BiP/GRP78. Inhibition of N-linked glycosylation of proteins results in the overproduction of BiP/GRP78. The over produced protein is not ADP-ribosylated suggesting that this is the functional form of BiP/GRP78. The over produced BiP/GRP78 can, however, be ADP-ribosylated if the cells are starved for an essential amino acid. BiP/GRP78 resides in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum where it participates in the assembly of secretory and integral membrane proteins. ADP-ribosylation of BiP/GRP78 during starvation is probably part of a nutritional stress response which conserves limited nutrients by slowing flow through the secretory pathway.

Abstract
Mono-ADP-ribosylation appears to be a reversible modification of proteins, which occurs in many eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. Multiple forms of arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferases have been purified and characterized from avian erythrocytes, chicken polymorphonuclear leukocytes and mammalian skeletal muscle. The avian transferases have similar molecular weights of approximately 28 kDa, but differ in physical, regulatory and kinetic properties and subcellular localization. Recently, a 38-kDa rabbit skeletal muscle ADP-ribosyltransferase was purified and cloned. The deduced amino acid sequence contained hydrophobic amino and carboxy termini, consistent with known signal sequences of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins. This arginine-specific transferase was present on the surface of mouse myotubes and of NMU cells transfected with the cDNA and was released with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. Arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferases thus appear to exhibit considerable diversity in their structure, cellular localization, regulation and physiological role.

Abstract
The role of the lumenal contents (reticuloplasm) of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in protein translocation was determined by in vitro analysis. Depletion of the reticuloplasm from mammalian rough microsomes revealed two distinct stages of the translocation reaction. The first stage, translocation up to and including signal peptide cleavage, was insensitive to the loss of the reticuloplasm, whereas the second stage, net transfer of the nascent chain into the ER lumen, was reticuloplasm dependent. In reticuloplasm-depleted membranes, signal-cleaved and glycosylated translocation intermediates were observed to transit free from the translocation channel to the cis, or cytoplasmic, side of the membrane. This translocation defect was complemented by reconstitution of lumenal proteins into depleted membranes. We propose that lumenal proteins are necessary for unidirectional protein translocation in mammalian ER.
