The examination of alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes by means of isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gel rods using the apparatus and focusing method of Righetti and Drysdale is discussed. A simultaneous coupling procedure using alpha-naphthyl phosphate and fast blue salt R in 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol buffer, pH 9.68, containing MgCl2 and ZnSO4 proved sensitive for developing the enzyme bands. Also discussed are the effects seen with the incorporation of Triton X100 into the gel and sample mixtures. Enzyme, which remained at the top of the gel without using this detergent, entered the gel easily with the addition of Triton X-100 into the application solution. Incorporation of Triton into the gel matrix resulted in some enzyme band patterns that showed distinct differences from gels containing no Triton.

Purified isoenzymes of human alkaline phosphatase from placenta, intestine and liver were investigated as catalysts for phosphotransferase activity, using the phosphoacceptors Tris, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, diethanolamine, 2-(ethylamino)ethanol, ethanolamine, and N-methyl-D-glucamine. All of the compounds supported phosphotransferase catalysis, conforming to saturation kinetics. There was little difference among the isoenzymes with respect to Km values of the acceptors, but the liver form was the most efficient (highest Vmax/Km) in forming phosphoacceptors; it was also the most efficient (highest Vamax/Ka) when the phosphoacceptors were considered as activators. At Vmax the isoenzymes differed little in their support of phosphotransferase activity relative to phosphohydrolysis, although the intestinal enzyme tended to be the poorest. The two best acceptors were diethanolamine, providing the highest phosphotransferase velocity, and 2-(ethylamino)ethanol, having the lowest Km. The phosphoaceptors that bound Zn2+ tightly did not function well in the phosphotransferase reaction, and vice versa. However, temporal assessment of the phosphohydrolytic and phosphotransferase activities during removal of Zn2+ from the enzyme with 1,10-phenanthroline revealed no evidence of a special role for Zn2+ in the latter activity.

Nine different isoenzymes and (or) isoforms of alkaline phosphatase (ALP; EC 3.1.3.1) from human tissue were studied with respect to Km and Vmax values for p-nitrophenyl phosphate (p-NPP) in seven different potential phosphoacceptors/buffers. Generally, the phosphoacceptors/buffers with the lowest affinity for p-NPP (highest Km values) gave the highest Vmax values; for the nine enzyme forms in this study, the mean Km and Vmax values were greatest in 2-(ethylamino) (EAE). The two amino-propanol buffers gave the lowest Km and Vmax values. The phosphoacceptors/buffers N-methyl-D-glucamine (MEG), diethanolamine, and Tris had intermediate Km and Vmax values. Hydrophilic liver ALP retained > 90% of its activity after 24 h at 30 degrees C in both 1.0 and 0.3 mol/L Tris and 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol and in 0.3 mol/L MEG. This isoenzyme showed greatest inactivation upon prolonged exposure to 1.0 and 0.3 mol/L EAE, the activity at 24 h being approximately 50-66% of that at zero time. p-NPP underwent the greatest spontaneous degradation, approximately 2.5 times that of baseline levels, in 1 mol/L MEG. There was little degradation in all of the buffers tested at 0.3 mol/L or in Tris, EAE, and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol at 1.0 mol/L.
