Partially purified enzyme fraction from rat kidney possessing high uridine kinase and phosphomonoesterase activity was insolubilized by means of zinc precipitation without substantial loss of the activity. While uridine kinase in a soluble and Zn-precipitated form was inhibited by low concentrations (0.5-1.0 mM) of Zn2+-ions, phosphomonoesterase was fully active. In contrast to the soluble fraction, the two enzymes in zinc-precipitated and lyophilized preparations were stable on heating at 100 degrees C. Metal complexed proteins catalyze the dephosphorylation of 5'-UMP, 6-AzaUMP as well as of 2'(3')-UMP or 2,4-dinitrophenyl phosphate indicating thus the presence of several phosphomonoesterases in the complex.

Some intestinal enZymes were assayed which were related to: (i) Cellular proliferation, for example, aspartate carbamoyltransferase, thymidine kinase, uridine kinase, and dihydroorotase; (ii) cellular differentiation, for example, lactase, invertase, maltase, alkaline phosphatase, and dipeptidase; and (iii) lysosomes, for example, beta-glucuronidase, acid beta-galactosidase, and acid phosphatase. These enzymatic determinations can be used to distinguish the crypt from the villus during healthy or diseased states.

There was a significant depression of the activities of intestinal lactase, invertase, and alkaline phosphatase in rats given drinking water containing 2.5 mg of colchicine per 100 ml. Activities of intestinal maltase, aspartate transcarbamylase, and dihydroorotase were not affected by the drug. Injection of colchicine (1 mg/kg) caused depression of intestinal invertase activity within 8 hr. Investigation of the effect of colchicine on the disaccharides in vitro demonstrated that invertase and maltase were not affected by concentrations up to 125 mg/100 ml. Intestinal lactase was inhibited by concentrations exceeding 5 mg/100 ml. Calculation of the concentration of colchicine present in the intestine, after a single injection, indicated that the in vivo effect of colchicine was not due to simple enzyme inhibition. Histological examination showed an increase in crypt cells but no decrease in the length of the villi. Cellular migration along the villi, as well as activity of uridine kinase in intestinal mucosa, was increased in colchicine-treated rats. It was concluded that colchicine did not depress intestinal invertase, lactase, and alkaline phosphatase by decreasing cellular renewal, but rather it exerted its effect directly on the differentiated cells of the villus.
