Abstract
ADP-ribosylation of the P2X7k splice variant on mouse T cells by Ecto-ADP-ribosyltransferase ARTC2.2 in response to its substrate extracellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) triggers cell death. Since NAD+ is released as a danger signal during tissue damage, this NAD+-induced cell death (NICD) may impact the survival of other cell populations co-expressing P2X7 and of one of the ARTC2 isoforms (ARTC2.1, ARTC2.2). NICD of brain-resident, non-T cell populations has only been rudimentarily investigated. In this study, we evaluated the susceptibility of two glia cell populations, astrocytes and microglia, towards NICD. We found that astrocytes and microglia strongly upregulate cell surface levels of ARTC2.1 and ADP-ribosylation of cell surface proteins in response to treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) 1 and 2 inhibitor U0126, but do not respond to extracellular NAD+ with P2X7 activation and induction of cell death. Furthermore, we found that astrocytes and microglia preferentially express the ADP-ribosylation-insensitive P2X7a splice variant, likely accounting for the resistance of these cells to NICD.

Abstract
Mammalian ecto-ADP-ribosyltransferases (ecto-ARTs or also ARTCs) catalyze the ADP-ribosylation of cell surface proteins using extracellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) as substrate. By this post-translational protein modification, ecto-ARTs modulate the function of various target proteins. A functional role of ARTC2 has been demonstrated for peripheral immune cells such as T cells and macrophages. Yet, little is known about the role of ecto-ARTs in the central nervous system and on microglia. Here, we identified ARTC2.1 as the major ecto-ART expressed on murine microglia. ARTC2.1 expression was strongly upregulated on microglia upon co-stimulation with LPS and an ERK1/2 inhibitor or upon IFNβ stimulation. We identified several target proteins modified by ARTC2.1 on microglia with a recently developed mass spectrometry approach, including two receptors for immunoglobulin G (IgG), FcγR1 and FcγR2B. Both proteins were verified as targets of ARTC2.1 in vitro using a radiolabeling assay with 32P-NAD+ as substrate. Moreover, ADP-ribosylation of both targets strongly inhibited their capacity to bind IgG. In concordance, ARTC2.1 induction in WT microglia and subsequent cell surface ADP-ribosylation significantly reduced the phagocytosis of IgG-coated latex beads, which was unimpaired in NAD+/DTT treated microglia from ARTC2.1-/- mice. Hence, induction of ARTC2.1 expression under inflammatory conditions, and subsequent ADP-ribosylation of cell surface target proteins could represent a hitherto unnoticed mechanism to regulate the immune response of murine microglia.

Abstract
Protein action in nature is largely controlled by the level of expression and by post-translational modifications. Post-translational modifications result in a proteome that is at least two orders of magnitude more diverse than the genome. There are three basic types of post-translational modifications: covalent modification of an amino acid side chain, hydrolytic cleavage or isomerization of a peptide bond, and reductive cleavage of a disulfide bond. This review addresses the modification of disulfide bonds. Protein disulfide bonds perform either a structural or a functional role, and there are two types of functional disulfide: the catalytic and allosteric bonds. The allosteric disulfide bonds control the function of the mature protein in which they reside by triggering a change when they are cleaved. The change can be in ligand binding, substrate hydrolysis, proteolysis, or oligomer formation. The allosteric disulfides are cleaved by oxidoreductases or by thiol/disulfide exchange, and the configurations of the disulfides and the secondary structures that they link share some recurring features. How these bonds are being identified using bioinformatics and experimental screens and what the future holds for this field of research are also discussed.

Abstract
P2X7 is a homotrimeric ion channel with two transmembrane domains and a large extracellular ATP-binding domain. It plays a key role in the response of immune cells to danger signals released from cells at sites of inflammation. Gating of murine P2X7 can be induced by the soluble ligand ATP, as well as by NAD+-dependent ADP-ribosylation of arginine 125, a posttranslational protein modification catalyzed by the toxin-related ecto-enzymes ART2.1 and ART2.2. R125 is located at the edge of the ligand-binding crevice. Recently, an alternative splice variant of P2X7, designated P2X7(k), was discovered that differs from the previously described variant P2X7(a) in the N-terminal 42 amino acid residues composing the first cytosolic domain and most of the Tm1 domain. Here we compare the two splice variants of murine P2X7 with respect to their sensitivities to gating by ADP-ribosylation in transfected HEK cells. Our results show that the P2X7(k) variant is sensitive to activation by ADP-ribosylation whereas the P2X7(a) variant is insensitive, despite higher cell surface expression levels. Interestingly, a single point mutation (R276K) renders the P2X7(a) variant sensitive to activation by ADP-ribosylation. Residue 276 is located at the interface of neighboring subunits approximately halfway between the ADP-ribosylation site and the transmembrane domains. Moreover, we show that naive and regulatory T cells preferentially express the more sensitive P2X7(k) variant, while macrophages preferentially express the P2X7(a) variant. Our results indicate that differential splicing of alternative exons encoding the N-terminal cytosolic and transmembrane domains of P2X7 control the sensitivity of different immune cells to extracellular NAD+ and ATP.

Basal and inducible expression of the thiol-sensitive ART2.1 ecto-ADP-ribosyltransferase in myeloid and lymphoid leukocytes. Purinergic Signal 2009; 5:369-83.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation of cell surface proteins in mammalian cells is a post-translational modification by which ecto-ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs) transfer ADP-ribose from extracellular NAD to protein targets. The ART2 locus at murine chromosome 7 encompasses the tandem Art2a and Art2b genes that encode the distinct ART2.1 and ART2.2 proteins. Although both ecto-enzymes share 80% sequence identity, ART2.1 activity is uniquely regulated by an allosteric disulfide bond that is reducible in the presence of extracellular thiols, such as cysteine and glutathione, that accumulate in hypoxic and ischemic tissues. Previous studies have characterized the expression of ART2.1 and ART2.2 in murine T lymphocytes but not in other major classes of lymphoid and myeloid leukocytes. Here, we describe the expression of ART2.1 activity in a wide range of freshly isolated or tissue-cultured murine myeloid and lymphoid leukocytes. Spleen-derived macrophages, dendritic cells (DC), and B cells constitutively express ART2.1 as their predominant ART while spleen T cells express both ART2.1 and the thiol-independent ART2.2 isoform. Although bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) and dendritic cells (BMDC) constitutively express ART2.1 at low levels, it is markedly up-regulated when these cells are stimulated in vitro with IFNbeta or IFNgamma. ART2.1 expression and activity in splenic B cells is modestly up-regulated during incubation in vitro for 24 h, a condition that promotes B cell apoptosis. This increase in ART2.1 is attenuated by IL-4 (a B cell survival factor), but is not affected by IFNbeta/gamma, suggesting a possible induction of ART2.1 as an ancillary response to B cell apoptosis. In contrast, ART2.1 and ART2.2, which are highly expressed in freshly isolated splenic T cells, are markedly down-regulated when purified T cells are incubated in vitro for 12-24 h. Studies with the BW5147 mouse thymocyte line verified basal expression of ART2.1 and ART2.2, as in primary spleen T cells, and demonstrated that both isoforms can be up-regulated when T cells are maintained in the presence of IFNs. Comparison of the surface proteins which are ADP-ribosylated by ART2.1 in the different leukocyte subtypes indicated both shared and cell-specific proteins as ART2.1 substrates. The LFA-1 integrin, a major target for ART2.2 in T cells, is also ADP-ribosylated by the ART2.1 expressed in macrophages. Thus, ART2.1, in contrast to ART2.2, is expressed in a broad range of myeloid and lymphoid leukocytes. The thiol redox-sensitive nature of this ecto-enzyme suggests an involvement in purinergic signaling that occurs in the combined context of inflammation and hypoxia/ischemia.

Abstract
ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs) are a family of enzymes that catalyze the covalent transfer of an ADP-ribose moiety, derived from NAD, to an amino acid of an acceptor protein, thereby altering its function. To date, little information is available on the protein target specificity of different ART family members. ART2 is a T-cell-specific transferase, attached to the cell surface by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor, and also found in serum. Here we investigated the role of ART2 localization in serum or on the cell surface, or solubilized with detergents or enzymes, on its target protein specificity. We found that detergent solubilization of cell membranes, or release of ART2 by phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C treatment, altered the ability of ART2 to ADP-ribosylate high or low molecular weight histone proteins. Similarly, soluble recombinant ART2 (lacking the GPI anchor) showed a different histone specificity than did cell-bound ART2. When soluble ART2 was incubated with serum proteins in the presence of [32P]-labeled NAD, several serum proteins were ADP-ribosylated in a thiol-specific manner. Mass spectrometry of labeled proteins identified albumin and transferrin as ADP-ribosylated proteins in serum. Collectively, these studies reveal that the membrane or solution environment of ART2 plays a pivotal role in determining its substrate specificity.

Abstract
Many bacterial toxins kill animal cells by adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribosylating intracellular target proteins. Mammalian cells express toxin-related cell surface ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs) that transfer ADP-ribose from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) onto arginine residues of other membrane proteins. The association of these glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored ectoenzymes with glycolipid rafts focuses them onto components of the signal transduction machinery. Exposing murine T cells to NAD, the ART substrate, induces a cascade of reactions that culminates in cell death by apoptosis. This mechanism, dubbed 'NAD-induced cell death' or NICD, is initiated when ART2 ADP-ribosylates the cytolytic P2X7 purinergic receptor, inducing formation of a cation channel, opening of a nonselective pore, shedding of CD62L from the cell surface, exposure of phosphatidylserine on the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane, breakdown of the mitochondrial membrane potential, and DNA-fragmentation. The ART substrate NAD is produced in large amounts inside the cell and can be released from damaged cells during inflammation and tissue injury. In the extracellular environment, the signaling function of NAD is terminated by NAD-degrading ectoenzymes such as CD38. We propose that ART2-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of P2X7 represents the paradigm of a regulatory mechanism by which ART-expressing cells can sense and respond to the release of NAD from damaged cells.

Abstract
The mammalian extracellular ADP-ribosyl transferases ART1 through ART5 are sequence-related to each other. Among them ART2 is involved in immuno regulation. The variant ART2.2 was expressed in the periplasm of Escherichia coli and crystallized. Its structure was determined by X-ray diffraction at 1.7A resolution in one crystal form and at slightly lower resolutions in two others. The active center was indicated by a ligated nicotinamide analogue, which also revealed a small induced-fit. The centerpiece of the chainfold of ART2.2 agrees with those of all bacterial ADP-ribosyl transferases. This correspondence and the nicotinamide position were used to model the binding structure of the whole substrate NAD(+) at ART2.2. Two of the bacterial enzymes are structurally more closely related to ART2.2 while the others are more closely related to the eukaryotic poly(ADP-ribosyl)polymerase. This splits the ADP-ribosyl transferases into two distinct subfamilies. A special feature of ART2.2 is its long N-terminal extension and two disulfide bridges that are far away from the active center. They stabilize the protein against denaturation and presumably also against shearing forces parallel with the membrane where ART2.2 is anchored.

Abstract
Lymphocytes express a number of NAD-metabolizing ectoenzymes, including mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferases (ART) and ADP ribosylcyclases. These enzymes may regulate lymphocyte functions following the release of NAD in injured or inflammatory tissues We report here that extracellular NAD induces apoptosis in BALB/c splenic T cells with an IC(50) of 3-5 microM. Annexin V staining of cells was observed already 10 min after treatment with NAD in the absence of any additional signal. Removal of GPI-anchored cell surface proteins by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C treatment rendered cells resistant to NAD-mediated apoptosis. RT-PCR analyses revealed that resting BALB/c T cells expressed the genes for GPI-anchored ART2.1 and ART2.2 but not ART1. ART2-specific antisera blocked radiolabeling of cell surface proteins with both [(32)P]NAD and NAD-mediated apoptosis. Further analyses revealed that natural knockout mice for Art2.a (C57BL/6) or Art2.b (NZW) were resistant to NAD-mediated apoptosis. Labeling with [(32)P]NAD revealed strong cell surface ART activity on T cells of C57BL/6 and little if any activity on cells of NZW mice. T cells of (C57BL/6 x NZW)F(1) animals showed strong cell surface ART activity and were very sensitive to NAD-induced apoptosis. As in BALB/c T cells, ART2-specific antisera blocked cell surface ART activity and apoptosis in (C57BL/6 x NZW)F(1) T cells. The fact that T cells of F(1) animals are sensitive to rapid NAD-induced apoptosis suggests that this effect requires the complementation of (at least) two genetic components. We propose that one of these is cell surface ART2.2 activity (defective in the NZW parent), the other a downstream effector of ADP-ribosylation (defective in the C57BL/6 parent).
