Decreases in hepatocyte NAD+ produced by ethanol are only partially explained by the increased conversion of NAD+ to NADH and NADP+. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a mechanism for the ethanol-induced decrease in NAD+ is its increased use in ADP-ribosylation. Exposure of hepatocyt

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
ADP‐ribosylation reactions in nucleoli of exponentially growing HeLa cells were studied. Isolated nuclei or nucleoli were labeled with ^32^P‐NAD; then the nucleolar proteins were analyzed by 1‐dimensional and 2‐dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and modified proteins were detected by autoradiography. The labeled nucleolar proteins were also chromatographically fractionated on DEAE‐cellulose. Electrophoretic analysis of total nucleolar and chromatographically purified proteins revealed that besides nuclear ADP‐ribosyltransferase and histones two characteristic nucleolar phosphoproteins numatrin/B23 and nucleolin/C23 were modified by ADP‐ribosylation.
