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.

Ecto-enzymes are catalytic membrane proteins with their active sites outside the cell. They include cholinesterase, which inactivates acetylcholine, and angiotensin-converting enzyme, which converts angiotensin I to biologically active angiotensin II, and numerous other peptidases, transpeptidases, nucleotidases, phosphodiesterases, and phosphatases. Many CD antigens of leukocytes are ecto-enzymes; some CD antigens for which no function is currently known are probably ectoenzymes. Expression is highly regulated and correlated with differentiation and activation. Some are highly restricted in distribution; others are ubiquitous. Many are shared between leukocytes and non-hematogenous cells. Biological functions appear to depend on the type and location of the cell in which expression occurs, and include recycling of nutrients, local control of response to cytokines and hormones, bone formation, cell mobility, invasion, and metastasis. Many novel regulatory functions of ecto-enzymes remain to be discovered, and may reveal new mechanisms of local extracellular control of cellular function.
