Özet

A cellular ADP-ribosyltransferase, specific for elongation factor 2 (EF-2), is found in extracts from rat liver. Co-migrating with EF-2 throughout purification, this activity is, moreover, located in the protein bands corresponding to EF-2 after native or sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The observed activity is thus implicated to be an inherent property of EF-2. Preincubation of EF-2 with GuoPPCH2Pox inhibits endogenous, but not diphtheria toxin catalyzed ADP-ribosylation. © 1986 Academic Press, Inc.
