NAD+-protein-arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase activity

Definition

Target type: molecularfunction

Catalysis of the reaction: L-arginyl-[protein] + NAD+ = H+ + (ADP-D-ribosyl)-L-arginyl-[protein] + nicotinamide. [RHEA:19149]

NAD+-protein-arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase activity catalyzes the transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD+ to an arginine residue on a target protein. This process, known as ADP-ribosylation, is a post-translational modification that can significantly alter the function of the target protein.

ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs) play a crucial role in diverse cellular processes, including signal transduction, DNA repair, and apoptosis. They can act as both enzymes and regulatory proteins, mediating a wide range of cellular functions.

The enzymatic activity of ARTs involves the following steps:

1. **NAD+ Binding:** The enzyme binds to NAD+, the donor molecule containing the ADP-ribose moiety.
2. **Substrate Recognition:** The ART specifically recognizes the target protein and its arginine residue.
3. **ADP-Ribose Transfer:** The enzyme catalyzes the transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD+ to the arginine residue on the target protein. This reaction forms a new covalent bond between the ADP-ribose and the arginine side chain.
4. **Product Release:** The enzyme releases the modified target protein and the nicotinamide byproduct of the reaction.

ADP-ribosylation can have various effects on target proteins, including:

* **Altering protein activity:** ADP-ribosylation can activate or inhibit the activity of the target protein, depending on the specific protein and the site of modification.
* **Changing protein interactions:** Modification can alter the binding properties of the target protein, affecting its interactions with other proteins or molecules.
* **Regulating protein localization:** ADP-ribosylation can influence the subcellular localization of the target protein.
* **Modulating protein stability:** The modification can affect the stability of the target protein, leading to its degradation or protection from degradation.

The specific effects of ADP-ribosylation depend on the identity of the target protein and the site of modification. This complex post-translational modification plays a critical role in regulating cellular processes, and its dysregulation has been linked to various diseases.'
