Ligand interactions of diphtheria toxin. I. Binding and hydrolysis of NAD

S Lory, SF Carroll, PD Bernard and RJ Collier

Prior studies showed that diphtheria toxin could be separated into ATP- binding and nonbinding fractions (Fractions II and I, respectively) by affinity chromatography on ATP-Sepharose (Lory, S., and Collier, R. J. (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 77, 267-271). Here we show that the two fractions also differ in their interactions with NAD. Fraction II bound a single molecule of NAD (Kd about 9 microM) as assayed by flow dialysis or fluorescence quenching and catalyzed both NAD- glycohydrolase and auto-ADP-ribosylation reactions. Fraction I was deficient in NAD-binding and NAD-related reactions. The ratio of the two fractions vried widely among toxin preparations and was independent of the proportion of toxin in the nicked state. Properties of th NAD site on Fraction II were similar to, but not identical with, those of the corresponding site on free Fragment A.
