Meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is a guanidine analogue of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine. Radioiodinated [131I]MIBG is clinically used as a tumor-targeted radiopharmaceutical in the diagnosis and treatment of adrenergic tumors. Moreover, non-radiolabelled MIBG exerts several cell-biological effects, tentatively ascribed to interference with cellular mono(ADP-ribosyl) transferases (Smets, L.A., Bout, B. and Wisse, J. (1988) Cancer Chemother. Pharmacol. 21, 9-13; Smets, L.A., Metwally, E.A.G., Knol, E. and Martens, M. (1988) Leukemia Res. 12, 737-743). In the present study it was investigated whether MIBG could serve as an acceptor for the ribosyl transferase activity of cholera toxin and of erythrocyte membranes. MIBG appeared a substrate for the cholera toxin-catalyzed transfer of the ADP-ribose moiety of NAD to arginine-like residues with the highest affinity for this enzyme reported as yet (Km = 6.5 microM). MIBG was also ADP-ribosylated by the mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferase(s) of turkey erythrocyte membranes. Moreover, the drug appeared a potent affector of the ADP-ribose linkage to membrane proteins by these enzymes. Interference by MIBG was stronger than by related guanyltyramine, the monoamine precursors of MIBG, meta-iodobenzylamine had no effect at all. In contrast, the drug failed to affect endogenous, O-linked poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, induced in nuclei of S49-leukemia cells by deoxyribonuclease. Since MIBG is the first described drug that specifically interferes with the cellular N-linked mono(ADP-ribosyl) transferase reactions, it may be an important tool to elucidate the physiological role of this posttranscriptional protein modification.
