Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 9027) releases four periplasm-located enzymes, i.e., ribonuclease (EC 3.1.4.22; EC 3.1.4.23), alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1), cyclic-2', 3'-phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.d), and 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) into the medium during growth. Ribonuclease and alkaline phosphatase are classed as enzymes which are readily extracted by osmotic shock and spheroplast formation whereas cyclic-2',3'-phosphodiesterase and 5'-nucleotidase are classed as enzymes which are not readily extracted by these procedures. In view of the relative ease of extraction of the former enzymes it is suggested that the lattter enzymes, cyclic-2',3'-phosphodiesterase and 5'-nucleotidase, are bound and located in the periplasm in a manner different to ribonuclease and alkaline phosphatase.

A survey of Salmonella typhimurium enzymes possessing phosphatase or phosphodiesterase activity was made using several different growth conditions. These studies revealed the presence of three major enzymes, all of which were subsequently purified: a cyclic 2' ,3'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.d), an acid hexose phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2), and a nonspecific acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2). A fourth enzyme hydrolyzed bis-(p-nitrophenyl)phosphate but none of the other substrates tested. No evidence was found for the existence of an alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) or a specific 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) in S. typhimurium LT2. All three phosphatases could be measured efficiently in intact cells, which suggested a periplasmic location; however, they were not readily released by osmotic shock procedures. The nonspecific acid phosphatase, which was purified to apparent homogeneity, yielded a single polypeptide band on both sodium dodecyl sulfate and acidic urea gel electrophoretic systems.

The regulation of three Salmonella typhimurium phosphatases in reponse to different nutritional limitations has been studied. Two enzymes, an acid hexose phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) and a cyclic phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.d), appear to be regulated by the cyclic adenosine 3' ,5'-monophosphate (AMP) catabolite repression system. Levels of these enzymes increased in cells grown on poor carbon sources but not in cells grown on poor nitrogen or phosphorus sources. Mutants lacking adenyl cyclase did not produce elevated levels of these enzymes in response to carbon limitation unless cyclic AMP was supplied. Mutants lacking the cyclic AMP receptor protein did not produce elevated levels of these enzymes in response to carbon limitation regardless of the presence of cyclic AMP. Since no specific induction of either enzyme could be demonstrated, these enzymes appear to be controlled solely by the cyclic AMP system. Nonspecific acid phsphatase activity (EC 3.1.3.2) increased in response to carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, or sulfur limitation. The extent of the increase depended on growth rate, with slower growth rates favoring greater increases, and on the type of limitation. Limitation for either carbon or phosphorus resulted in maximum increases, whereas severe limitation of Mg2+ caused only a slight increase. The increase in nonspecific acid phosphatase during carbon limitation was apparently not mediated by the catabolite repression system since mutants lacking adenyl cyclase or the cyclic AMP receptor protein still produced elevated levels of this enzyme during carbon starvation. Nor did the increase during phosphorus limitation appear to be mediated by the alkaline phosphatase regulatory system. A strain of Salmonella bearing a chromosomal mutation, which caused constitutive production of alkaline phosphatase (introduced by an episome from Escherichia coli), did not have constitutive levels of nonspecific acid phosphatase.

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.

Haemoglobin-free human erythrocyte ghosts that were prepared in the presence of EDTA and were then exposed to Ca2+ showed a substantial loss of phosphatidylinositol phosphate and phosphatidylinositol diphosphate, measured either chemically or by loss of 32P from the lipids of prelabelled membranes. At the same time there was, as reported previously (Allan, D. and Michell, R.H., (1976) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 455, 824--830), and approximately equivalent rise in the diacylglycerol content of the membranes. Analysis of the 32P-labelled water-soluble material released during this process showed that the major products were inositol diphosphate and inositol triphosphate. No change was seen in the phosphatidylinositol or phosphatidate content of the membranes, and there was no Ca2+-activated loss of 32P from the phosphatidate of prelabelled membranes: this suggests that Ca2+ did not activate phosphoinositide phosphomonoesterases or phosphatidate phosphomonoesterase in human erythrocyte membranes. It is concluded that human erythrocyte membranes contain at their cytoplasmic surface a Ca2+-activated phosphodiesterase that is active against both phosphatidylinositol phosphate and phosphatidylinositol diphosphate. Rabbit erythrocytes also contained this enzyme, but in these cells there was also evidence for the presence of a Ca2+-activated phosphatidate phosphomonoesterase.

Aqueous solutions of DNA were gamma-irradiated in the presence and absence of oxygen and enzymatically hydrolysed by the combined action of pancreatic deoxyribonuclease (DNase I), snake-venom phosphodiesterase (PDE I), spleen phosphodiesterase (PDE II) and alkaline phosphatase. In contrast to unirradiated DNA, which is fully hydrolysed to nucleosides by these enzymes, gamma-irradiated DNA yields a series of oligonucleotides. Their isolation might enalbe the future identification of the chemical nature of DNA lesions.

The rabbit iris smooth muscle has been shown to contain triphosphoinositide phosphomonoesterase (phosphatidyl-myo-inositol-4,5-bisphosphate phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.36) and phosphodiesterase (triphosphoinositide inositoltrisphosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.4.11) activities. Under our experimental conditions about 77% of the phosphomonoesterase and 61% of the phosphodiesterase activities were localized in the particulate fraction. The kinetic properties of the enzymes in the microsomal fraction were examined. The enzyme preparation was specific to polyphosphoinositides; it did not attack phosphatidylinositol under the present assay condition. The effects of Ca2+ and Mg2+ were also studied. Although the microsomal enzymes did not require added divalent cations for their activities, both the phosphomonoesterase and phosphodiesterase were appreciably inhibited by 1 mM EDTA. Phosphodiesterase and phosphomonoesterase were stimulated by Ca2+ and Mg2+, respectively. The demonstration of triphosphoinositide phosphodiesterase in the iris muscle, coupled with the findings that this enzyme is activated by Ca2+ and is not influenced by acetylcholine add further support to our previous conclusion (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. (1978) 204, 655--668; J. Neurochem. (1978) 30, 517--525) that an increased Ca2+ influx, following the interaction between the neurotransmitter and its receptor, could act to stimulate the phosphodiesterase, thus leading to increased triphosphoinositide breakdown and increased phosphatidic acid via increased diacylglycerol.

Isoenzyme V of 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase (5'-NPD-V) is present in the peripheral sera of patients with hepatic metastases. A total of 122 patients underwent prospective serologic analysis followed by operation for primary tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and careful evaluation of the liver. A positive 5'-NPD-V assay was found in fifty-nine of sixty patients with liver metastases. A negative 5'-NPD-V assay was found in forty-three of sixty-two patients with no evidence of hepatic metastases. The accuracy of the test was 84 per cent, and the predictive value was 75 per cent. Serum 5'-NPD-V was abnormal significantly more frequently in patients with metastatic liver disease than were liver scans or carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), alpha fetoprotein, serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (SGOT), and total serum bilirubin or serum alkaline phosphatase levels.

Purified phosphodiesterase-phosphomonoesterase was found to be composed of four isozymes with different isoelectric points. These isozymes, phosphodiesterase-phosphomonoesterases 1-4, were separated from one another by repeated isoelectric focusing. Very little difference in amino acid composition, enzymic properties or circular dichroism spectra was detected among the isozymes. Far-ultraviolet circular dichroism spectra showed that the enzyme contained about 10% alpha-helix and 40% beta-structure. Phosphodiesterase-phosphomonesterase is a glycoprotein, because it was adsorbed on concanavalin A-Sepharose 4B and gave a band of carbohydrate coincident with that of protein or enzymic activity on polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. Carbohydrate analyses revealed that the enzyme contained 37 micron of N-acetylglucosamine and 358 micron of mannose per mg of protein. The carbohydrate contents of the four isozymes were almost the same.

We have previously shown that bone cells possess glucocorticoid receptors and that, in addition to being inhibitory to cell growth, glucocorticoid treatment potentiates the ability of parathyroid hormone (PTH) to stimulate cyclic AMP (cAMP) formation. This study extends those observations to specific subpopulations of bone cells and explores the mechanism of the cAMP augmentation. Subpopulations of cultured bone cells derived from 20-d-old fetal rat calvaria were enriched for "osteoblast-like" (OB) and "osteoclast-like" (OC) cells by sequential collagenase digestion. OC cells released during the first 30 min of collagenase digestion were characterized by low alkaline phosphatase activity, a cAMP response to salmon calcitonin (CT), but only a small cAMP response to bovine PTH. In contrast, OB cells released between 30 and 120 min of collagenase digestion, possessed high alkaline phosphatase activity, responded with a large cAMP rise to PTH, but exhibited no response to CT. Glucocorticoid receptors, with similar properties, were demonstrated in both populations (K(d) congruent with 5 nM, N(maximum) congruent with 400 fmol/mg cytosol protein). Dexamethasone equivalently inhibited cell growth and alkaline phosphatase activity in both populations. Dexamethasone potentiation of cAMP generation occurred after PTH but not CT stimulation. A greater enhancement of cAMP generation observed in OB cells appears to result from two glucocorticoid actions: (a) stimulation of adenylate cyclase and (b) inhibition of phosphodiesterase. Only the latter mechanism was found in OC cells. Dexamethasone-treated cells showed an increase in both sensitivity and maximal response of cAMP to PTH. The possible relationship of these actions to the mechanism of glucocorticoid-induced osteopenia is discussed.
