Abstract

A preparation of poly(adenosine diphosphoribose) synthase obtained from pigeon liver nuclei has been used to make poly(adenosine diphosphoribose) with an average chain length of 20. Digestion of the purified poly(adenosine diphosphoribose) with snake venom phosphodiesterase (oligonucleate 5'-nucleotidohydrolase; EC 3.1.4.1) gave the monomer, 2'-(5"-phosphoribosyl)-5-AMP. After purification of the monomer on a Dowex-1 column, further digestion with alkaline phosphatase [orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase (alkaline optimum); EC 3.1.3.1] yielded the dephosphorylated product, 2'-ribosyl adenosine. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra at 360 MHz of the 2'-ribosyl adenosine were obtained in [2H6]dimethylsulfoxide, which allows direct observation of the hydroxyl protons. These spectra show the absence of the adenosine 2'-hydroxyl proton, thus confirming the 2' position as the site of attachment of the ribose to the adenosine moiety. Comparison of the coupling constants and the chemical shifts of the ribose hydroxyl protons of 2'-ribosyl adenosine with the model compounds alpha- and beta-methylribofuranoside establishes an alpha (1" leads to 2') glycosidic linkage in the monomer. No evidence was found for heterogeneity in either the site of attachment or configuration of the linkage in the 2'-(5"-phosphoribosyl)-5'-AMP.
