Proteins ADP-ribosylated in Nuclei and Plasma Membrane Vesicles Isolated from Sea Urchin Embryos at Various Stages of Early Development: (ADP-ribosylation/sea urchin/development/nucleus/plasma membrane).

The ADP-ribosylations of proteins in nuclei, plasma membrane vesicles, mitochondria, microsome vesicles and the soluble fraction of sea urchin embryos isolated at various stages of development were examined by measuring the radioactivities of proteins after exposure of these subcellular fractions to [adenosine-14 C]NAD or [adenylate-32 P]NAD. ADP-ribosylation of proteins was detected only in the nuclear and plasma membrane fractions. In the nuclear fraction, the rate of ADP-ribosylation of the histone fraction did not change appreciably during early development. In the TCA-insoluble protein fraction of the nuclei, the rate of ADP-ribosylation increased from fertilization to the morula stage, then decreased and again increased from the mesenchyme blastula to the late gastrula stage. After exposure of the nuclear fraction to [adenylate-32 P]NAD, a protein band with a molecular weight of 90 kDa was detected by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and radioautography at all stages examined. Its labeling intensity indicated that its ADP-ribosylation is higher at the morula and late gastrula stages than at other stages. In the plasma membrane fraction, proteins with molecular weights of 22 and 68 kDa were ADP-ribosylated and their rates of ADP-ribosylation hardly changed during early development.
