Pertussis toxin (PT)-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of target proteins in intact Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells was evaluated with an in vitro ADP-ribosylation assay. In this assay, a postnuclear supernatant was prepared from CHO cells and used as a source of PT-sensitive target proteins for in vitro [32P[ADP-ribosylation. The postnuclear supernatant contained three proteins that were ADP-ribosylated in vitro, with apparent molecular masses of 50, 45, and 42 kDa. The 42- and 45-kDa proteins were membrane associated, while the 50-kDa protein was soluble. Following PT treatment of CHO cells, the 42- and 45-kDa proteins were not available for in vitro ADP-ribosylation, while the soluble 50-kDa protein remained available for in vitro ADP-ribosylation. The decrease in the availability of the 42- and 45-kDa proteins to in vitro ADP-ribosylation was proportional to the PT concentration and time of incubation with CHO cells. Western immunoblot analysis showed that extracts from PT-treated CHO cells and control CHO cells possessed equivalent amounts of two proteins that were recognized by anti-Gi protein antiserum. The two proteins recognized by anti-Gi protein antiserum from PT-treated cells migrated with higher apparent molecular weights than the two proteins from control cells. This was consistent with the in vivo ADP-ribosylation of the two proteins by PT.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
