ADP-ribosylation of regulatory proteins is an important pathophysiological mechanism by which various bacterial toxins act on eukaryotic cell functions. Well-known members of this family of toxins are diphtheria-, cholera-, and pertussis toxins. Whereas diphtheria toxin ADP-ribosylares elongation factor 2 thereby inhibiting protein synthesis, cholera-, and pertussis toxin modify G-proteins involved in transmembrane signal transduction (see A1thaus & Richter, 1987 for a review). Recently, it has been shown that various clostridial toxins interfere with the eukaryotic organism by ADPribosylation of actin. Among these toxins are botulinum C2 toxin (Aktories et al., 1986), Clostridium perfringens iota toxin (Schering et al., 1988), Clostridium spiroforme toxin (Simpson et al., 1989) and an ADP-ribosyltransferase produced by Clostridium difficile (Popoff et al., 1988). All these toxins are binary in structure and consist of two non-linked components. The enzymatically active component possesses ADP-ribosyltransferase activity and the binding component is involved in the transfer of the toxin into the cell (Ohishi & Miyake, 1985). C. perfringens iota toxin, C. spiroforme toxin and C. di~cile ADP-ribosyltransferase are immunologically related and their binding components can substitute for each other. In contrast, botulinum C2 toxin neither cross-reacts with those toxins nor can it be inter-changed with them (Simpson et al., 1989). The substrate of ADP-ribosylating toxins is monomeric G-actin but not polymerized F-actin. Therefore, phalloidin which decreases the critical concentration of actin and induces polymerization, inhibits ADP-ribosylation of actin (Schering et aI., 1988). So far all the ADPribosylating toxins studied modify actin at arginine-I77, as shown by direct protein chemical analysis in the case of botulinum C2 toxin (Vandekerckhove et al., 1988) and perfringens iota toxin and indirectly (toxin pretreatment) in the case of the other toxins. ADP-ribosylation of different actin isoforms reveals a particular substrate specificity. Whereas, C. perfringens iota toxin modifies all actin isoforms studied so far, including skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, smooth muscle and nonmuscle actin, botulinum C2 toxin ADP-ribosylates nonmuscle fl/y-actin and smooth muscle ?-actin but apparently no other actin isoforms (Schering et al., 1988). ADP-ribosylation of actin gives rise to drastic functional consequences for the properties of actin. ADP-ribosylated actin loses its ability to polymerize (Aktories et al., 1986). Furthermore, the ADP-ribosylated actin has the property of an actin capping protein, which binds to the barbed ends of actin filaments thereby inhibiting nucleated polymerization at the fast growing end of actin filaments (Wegner & Aktories, 1988). In contrast, the modified actin does not interfere with actin polymerization at the pointed ends of filaments previously capped with gelsolin at the barbed end. Accordingly, ADPribosylated actin increased the critical concentration of monomeric actin to values typical for the polymerization at the pointed end of actin filaments. The dissociation constant for the binding of ADP-ribosylated actin to the barbed end of actin filaments is about 10 -8. ADPribosylation of actin inhibits the ATP hydrolysis catalyzed by actin (Geipel et al., 1989). This inhibitory effect is observed with G-actin below its critical concentration and with cytochalasin-stimulated G-actin ATPase indicating that inhibition of ATP hydrolysis is not simply due to the blockade of actin polymerization (Geipel et al., 1990). ADP-ribosylation of actin by the toxins is reversible at high concentrations of nicotinamide (30 mM) and results in the reconstitution of actin properties, such as an increase in actin ATPase activity (Just et al., 1989). Treatment of intact cells with botulinum C2 toxin causes rounding up of cells, an effect which is accompanied by destruction of the microfilament network and an increase in the amount of the cellular G-actin (Reuner et al., 1987). A model explaining the toxin's action includes the following steps: At first the binding component of botulinum C2 toxin (C2II, 100 000 kDa) is proteolytically cleaved to an 88 kDa fragment which binds to the cell surface of the target cell thereby exposing an attachment site for the toxin component I. The enzymatically active component I, which is transfered into the cells by an unknown mechanism, ADP-ribosylates the cellular G-
