Glutamyl Ribose 5-Phosphate Storage Disease (GRPSD) has been suggested to result from a defect in the metabolism of ADP-ribosylated proteins. The authors have compared the response to N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) of cells from a patient with GRPSD to age-matched control cells. GRPSD cells exhibited a normal cytotoxic response to a single challenge of MNNG. The NAD pools of confluent cultures were prelabelled with /sup 3/H-adenine and time courses of NAD and poly(ADP-ribose) content were determined following varying doses of MNNG using newly developed methodologies. GRPSD cells showed a greatly reduced accumulation of poly(ADP-ribose) relative to controls. Likewise, the rate of depletion of NAD was also decreased several fold following MNNG treatment. GRSPD cells should prove valuable in the study of the role of poly(ADP-ribose) in cellular recovery from DNA damage.
