Amastigotes and log-phase promastigotes of Leishmania mexicana mexicana contained distinct acid phosphatase, 3'-nucleotidase and 5'-nucleotidase activities, distinguishable by their response to pH and inhibitors. Both tartrate-sensitive and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase were present in the two forms, amastigotes possessed less tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase than promastigotes. A tartrate-sensitive acid phosphatase was secreted into the medium in large amounts during the growth in vitro of L. m. mexicana promastigotes. The 5'-nucleotidase activity of both parasite forms was inhibited by ammonium molybdate, sodium tartrate and, to less extent, by sodium fluoride whereas 3'-nucleotidase was inhibited by EDTA. All three activities were shown to be present on the external surface of both amastigotes and promastigotes. The three phosphomonoesterase activities were also detected in extracts of L. m. amazonensis, L. donovani, L. tarentolae, Crithidia fasciculata, Herpetomonas muscarum muscarum, H.m. ingenoplastis and Trichomitus batrachorum whereas 5'-nucleotidase was not detected in Trypanosoma brucei brucei extract and 3'-nucleotidase was absent from extracts of Trichomonas vaginalis and Tritrichomonas foetus.

Reaction of NADP with 3-propiolactone at pH 6 gave new NADP derivatives carboxyethylated at the 2'-phosphate or 6-amino group, or both: 2'-O-(2-carboxyethyl)phosphono-NAD (I), N6-(2-carboxyethyl)-NADP (II), and 2'-O-(2-carboxyethyl)phosphono-N6-(2-carboxyethyl)-NAD (III). Their structures were assigned on the basis of ultraviolet, 1H-NMR and 31P-NMR spectra, and also treatment with nucleotide pyrophosphatase or alkaline phosphatase. Carbodiimide-promoted reaction of derivative I with 1,2-diaminoethane gave 2'-O-[N-(2-aminoethyl)carbamoylethyl]phosphono-NAD (IV); derivative III gave 2'-O-[N-(2-aminoethyl)carbamoylethyl]phosphono-N6-[N-(2-aminoethyl ) carbamoylethyl]-NAD (IV). The same reaction of derivative II, on the other hand, gave a mixture of N6-[N-(2-aminoethyl)carbamoylethyl]-NADP (Va) and its 3'-phosphate isomer (Vb). The mixture was converted to Va via the 2',3'-cyclic derivative (Vc). Their structures were assigned on the basis of ultraviolet and 1H-NMR spectra, and also treatment with alkaline phosphatase or 3'-nucleotidase. All the NADP derivatives obtained in this work could be reduced with yeast glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.

Mutants of Escherichia coli have been selected for the absence of 5'-nucleotidase (uridine diphosphate-sugar hydrolase) and 3'-nucleotidase (2',3'-cyclic phophodiesterase). Mutants selected for the absence of 5'-nucleotidase are of two kinds: those that lack detectable activity for the enzyme (Ush(-)), and those that possess activity when cell extracts are assayed, but not when intact cells are assayed (cryptic; Crp(-)). The latter class is probably identical to a type of mutant previously reported by Ward and Glaser. When mutants are selected for the absence of 3'-nucleotidase, Crp(-)mutants are also obtained. Thus far, however, mutants totally lacking this enzyme have not been found. The location on the genetic map of one ush mutation is at position 11 min and that of one crp mutation at approximately 67 min. In the crp mutant, 5'-nucleotidase and 3'-nucleotidase remain located in the periplasm. This mutant is also cryptic for alkaline phosphatase but not for acid hexose phosphatase. Treatment of cells with ethylenediamine-tetraacetate substantially alleviated crypticity. These data are discussed in terms of the organization of periplasmic enzymes and of the outer membrane as a permeability barrier.

gamma-Irradiation of DNA in vitro produces two types of single strand breaks. Both types of strand breaks contain 5'-phosphate DNA termini. Some strand breaks contain 3'-phosphate termini, some contain 3'-phosphoglycolate termini (Henner, W.D., Rodriguez, L.O., Hecht, S. M., and Haseltine, W. A. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 711-713). We have studied the ability of prokaryotic enzymes of DNA metabolism to act at each of these types of gamma-ray-induced 3' termini in DNA. Neither strand breaks that terminate with 3'-phosphate nor 3'-phosphoglycolate are substrates for direct ligation by T4 DNA ligase. Neither type of gamma-ray-induced 3' terminus can be used as a primer for DNA synthesis by either Escherichia coli DNA polymerase or T4 DNA polymerase. The 3'-phosphatase activity of T4 polynucleotide kinase can convert gamma-ray-induced 3'-phosphate but not 3'-phosphoglycolate termini to 3'-hydroxyl termini that can then serve as primers for DNA polymerase. E. coli alkaline phosphatase is also unable to hydrolyze 3'-phosphoglycolate groups. The 3'-5' exonuclease actions of E. coli DNA polymerase I and T4 DNA polymerase do not degrade DNA strands that have either type of gamma-ray-induced 3' terminus. E. coli exonuclease III can hydrolyze DNA with gamma-ray-induced 3'-phosphate or 3'-phosphoglycolate termini or with DNase I-induced 3'-hydroxyl termini. The initial action of exonuclease III at 3' termini of ionizing radiation-induced DNA fragments is to remove the 3' terminal phosphate or phosphoglycolate to yield a fragment of the same nucleotide length that has a 3'-hydroxyl terminus. These results suggest that repair of ionizing radiation-induced strand breaks may proceed via the sequential action of exonuclease, DNA polymerase, and DNA ligase. The possible role of exonuclease III in repair of gamma-radiation-induced strand breaks is discussed.

DNA ligase D (LigD) catalyzes end-healing and end-sealing steps during nonhomologous end joining in bacteria. Pseudomonas aeruginosa LigD consists of a central ATP-dependent ligase domain fused to a C-terminal polymerase domain and an N-terminal 3'-phosphoesterase (PE) module. The PE domain catalyzes manganese-dependent phosphodiesterase and phosphomonoesterase reactions at a duplex primer-template with a short 3'-ribonucleotide tract. The phosphodiesterase, which cleaves a 3'-terminal diribonucleotide to yield a primer strand with a ribonucleoside 3'-PO4 terminus, requires the vicinal 2'-OH of the penultimate ribose. The phosphomonoesterase converts the terminal ribonucleoside 3'-PO4 to a 3'-OH. Here we show that the PE domain has a 3'-phosphatase activity on an all-DNA primer-template, signifying that the phosphomonoesterase reaction does not depend on a 2'-OH. The distinctions between the phosphodiesterase and phosphomonoesterase activities are underscored by the results of alanine-scanning, limited proteolysis, and deletion analysis, which show that the two reactions depend on overlapping but nonidentical ensembles of protein functional groups, including: (i) side chains essential for both ribonuclease and phosphatase activity (His-42, His-48, Asp-50, Arg-52, His-84, and Tyr-88); (ii) side chains important for 3'-phosphatase activity but not for 3' ribonucleoside removal (Arg-14, Asp-15, Glu-21, Gln-40, and Glu-82); and (iii) side chains required selectively for the 3'-ribonuclease (Lys-66 and Arg-76). These constellations of critical residues are unique to LigD-like proteins, which we propose comprise a new bifunctional phosphoesterase family.

DNA ligase D (LigD) performs end remodeling and end sealing reactions during nonhomologous end joining in bacteria. Pseudomonas aeruginosa LigD consists of a central ATP-dependent ligase domain fused to a C-terminal polymerase domain and an N-terminal phosphoesterase (PE) module. The PE domain catalyzes manganese-dependent phosphodiesterase and phosphomonoesterase reactions at the 3' end of the primer strand of a primer-template. The phosphodiesterase cleaves a 3'-terminal diribonucleotide to yield a primer strand with a ribonucleoside 3'-PO4 terminus. The phosphomonoesterase converts a terminal ribonucleoside 3'-PO4 or deoxyribonucleoside 3'-PO4 of a primer-template to a 3'-OH. Here we report that the phosphodiesterase and phosphomonoesterase activities are both dependent on the presence and length of the 5' single-strand tail of the primer-template substrate. Although the phosphodiesterase activity is strictly dependent on the 2'-OH of the penultimate ribose, it is indifferent to a 2'-OH versus a2'-H on the terminal nucleoside. Incision at the ribonucleotide linkage is suppressed when the 2'-OH is moved by 1 nucleotide in the 5' direction, suggesting that LigD is an exoribonuclease that cleaves the 3'-terminal phosphodiester. We report the effects of conservative amino acid substitutions at residues: (i) His42, His48, Asp50, Arg52, His84, and Tyr88, which are essential for both the ribonuclease and 3'-phosphatase activities; (ii) Arg14, Asp15, Glu21, and Glu82, which are critical for 3'-phosphatase activity but not 3'-ribonucleoside removal; and (iii) at Lys66 and Arg76, which participate selectively in the 3'-ribonuclease reaction. The results suggest roles for individual functional groups in metal binding and/or phosphoesterase chemistry.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens encodes a single NAD+-dependent DNA ligase and six putative ATP-dependent ligases. Two of the ligases are homologs of LigD, a bacterial enzyme that catalyzes end-healing and end-sealing steps during nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ). Agrobacterium LigD1 and AtuLigD2 are composed of a central ligase domain fused to a C-terminal polymerase-like (POL) domain and an N-terminal 3'-phosphoesterase (PE) module. Both LigD proteins seal DNA nicks, albeit inefficiently. The LigD2 POL domain adds ribonucleotides or deoxyribonucleotides to a DNA primer-template, with rNTPs being the preferred substrates. The LigD1 POL domain has no detectable polymerase activity. The PE domains catalyze metal-dependent phosphodiesterase and phosphomonoesterase reactions at a primer-template with a 3'-terminal diribonucleotide to yield a primer-template with a monoribonucleotide 3'-OH end. The PE domains also have a 3'-phosphatase activity on an all-DNA primer-template that yields a 3'-OH DNA end. Agrobacterium ligases C2 and C3 are composed of a minimal ligase core domain, analogous to Mycobacterium LigC (another NHEJ ligase), and they display feeble nick-sealing activity. Ligation at DNA double-strand breaks in vitro by LigD2, LigC2 and LigC3 is stimulated by bacterial Ku, consistent with their proposed function in NHEJ.
