The incorporation of [14C]glucosamine into brush border glycoproteins by human small intestinal mucosa in organ culture has been investigated. The experiments were based on the observations that (1) isolated brush border membrane fragments from cultured explants showed an unchanged pattern of protein bands and brush border enzyme activities on sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gels after electrophoresis and (2) the rate of overall [14C]glucosamine incorporation measured in the tissue homogenate remained constant up to 48 h. After 24 h of culture, the radioactivity peaks on gels due to incorporation of [14C]glucosamine were found exclusively in the high molecular weight region and corresponded to protein bands identified as maltase-glucoamylase, lactase, sucrase-isomaltase, enterokinase and alkaline phosphatase. Enzymatic activity could not be assigned to the three remaining labelled bands. Most of these glycoproteins were already labelled after 5 h. Newly glycosylated brush border enzymes remained predominantly associated with the brush border membrane of intact cells with little release into the medium up to 24 h.

Diethyistibestrol was administered orally to 11 boys with Duchene muscular dystrophy (DMD). Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities, characteristically high in DMD, and presumably of muscle origin, were reduced significantly (P LESS THAN .05). On ther other hand, the activity of alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme not of muscle origin, increased. These enzyme changes were reversible when diethyistibestrol was discontinued. Despite appreciable alterations in totoal serum enzyme activity, no important change was found in the isozyme patterns. Piperazine estrone sulfate was administered to another patient with DMD. The effects of this physiologic hormone were, in part, similar to those of diethyistibestrol. Experimentally, diethylstilbestrol reduced the efflux of CPK and LDH from mouse skeletal muscle. This may be the manner by which diethylstilbesterol reduced the serum enzyme levels in DMD, but this has not been proved directly. These studies are the first step in an effort to identify various agents that in combinations may normalize serum enzyme levels.

1. Alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) from human liver was solubilized from the homogenate using 0.2% Triton X-100 containing 0.2 M lithium 3,5-diiodosalicylate, and the pellet obtained was resolubilized with 20% n-butanol. The procedure resulting in 3842-fold purification included acetone fractionation, ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, Sephadex G-200 gel filtration, hydroxyapatite gel chromatography and further concanavalin A/Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography. 2. The highly purified enzyme showed one major protein band on acrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 8.6, and exhibited one-seventh of the alkaline p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity in the hepatic enzyme preparation contains of the alkaline pyrophosphatase activity. 3. The highly purified enzyme was a sialic-acid containing glycoprotein. 4. Sialidase-treated hepatic enzyme clearly presented the phenomenon of delayed mobility, and the delayed enzyme fraction stained more strongly than that of non-treated hepatic alkaline phosphatase. 5. In order to investigate the role of the carbohydrate region(s) of the hepatic alkaline phosphatase molecule on substrate binding, the effect of sialidase treatment on the rate of substrate inhibition of alkaline phosphatase was studied. In the case of hepatic enzyme without sialidase, substrate inhibition of alkaline phosphatase activity was clearly shown, while in the case of the hepatic enzyme with sialidase, there was hardly any substrate inhibition in the range of 1-8 mM p-nitrophenylphosphate.

Caseins of mouse milk are phosphoproteins which precipitate at pH 4.6, stain blue with "Stains-all," and stain red with "Stains-all" following alkaline phosphatase digestion. Four caseins were separated electrophoretically in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels varying from 8.5 to 15% acrylamide. Molecular weights for three of these proteins were 43,200, 27,700, and 25,900. The molecular weights determined for bovine alphas1 and beta caseins by this method were similar to those previously obtained by other methods. A fourth mouse casein contained carbohydrate, phosphorus, and sialic acid. This protein was rennin-sensitive and behaved anomalously on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels, as did bovine kappa-casein. Because of similarities with bovine kappa-casein, it was designated with "kappa-casein" of mouse milk.

Human liver alkaline phosphatase [ortho-phosphoric monoester phosphohydrolase (alkaline optimum), EC 3.1.3.1] was purified, and some of its physical and chemical properties were examined and compared to those of human placental alkaline phosphatase. The results indicated a different peptide structure for each, based upon HB2-terminal residue sequence, two-dimensional tryptic peptide maps, and different amino acid compositions. These data are interpreted to indicate that the enzymes are synthesized by different structural genes. Other molecular properties differentiating the two enzymes were a higher apparent molecular weight for the liver enzyme from sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis, a higher S20,w value, different carbohydrate content, and a different isoelectric point. The immunochemical specificity of each enzyme was not affected by removal of sialic acid groups. Both enzymes are similar in that they are dimers of equal molecular weight subunits, and are probably homodimers.

The therapeutic effect of orally administered zinc was evaluated in an adult woman with acrodermatitis enteropathica. When she was off therapy and in clinical relapse the plasma zinc concentration (10 mug per 100 ml), serum alkaline phosphatase (3 1U per liter) and urine zinc excretion rate (39 mug per 24 hours) were extremely low. Di-iodohydroxyquin therapy was accompanied by a modest increase in plasma zinc concentrations. Oral zinc sulfate (220 mg three times a day or 50 mg twice a day) resulted in rapid and complete clinical remission, and in a return of plasma zinc, serum alkaline phosphatase and urinary zinc excretion to normal. These data are compatible with a severe zinc deficiency state and indicate that the inherited defect in this disease is either in or closely related to zinc metabolism. The beneficial effects of zinc therapy in this patient provide further confirmation of the efficacy of oral zinc in the treatment of acrodermatitis enteropathica.

Lameness in a group of 5- to 12-month-old calves was found to be clinically, radiographically, and pathologically associated with abnormal bone development of the distal growth plates of the metacarpus and metatarsus. Copper concentrations in serum and liver were low. Serum calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase values were normal. In pasture forage samples, sulfate, zinc, and molybdenum concentrations were high, whereas copper, calcium, and phosphorus concentrations were normal. Red blood cell (RBC) counts and hemoglobin values were within normal limits. Radiographic findings included a widened zone of cartilage and lipping of the medial and lateral areas of the physeal plate. Histologic findings included focal widenings of the growth plate consisting of tongues of uncalcified cartilage.

Kidney alkaline phosphatase was purified to homogeneity. It is a glycoprotein of about 172,000 molecular weight. Analyses of the subunit structure by sedimentation equilibrium in 6 M guanidine hydrochloride and by gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate indicate that the alkaline phosphatase is a dimer comprising two very similar or identical subunits of about 87,000 molecular weight. The native enzyme contains 4.5 +/- 0.2 g atoms of zinc per mol of protein. Reconstitution experiments from the apophosphatase show that binding of 4 Zn2+ per mol of dimer is essential for full activity. The kinetic data of Zn2+ binding to the apoprotein require at least a two-step mechanism, in which one of the steps corresponds to a conformational change within the enzyme. This paper also presents data concerning amino acid composition, sugar content, enzyme stability, absorbance index, and sedimentation velocity.

A bile canalicular membrane fraction was isolated from 24-hour regenerating rat livers, and its properties were compared to those of homologous fractions prepared from the livers of sham-operated and unoperated controls. These canalicular membrane fractions were found to be closely related in terms of their morphology, their purity, their yield, and their qualitative protein banding profiles on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. However, when a rigorous examination of plasma membrane enzyme marker activities was made, the regenerating liver membranes were shown to possess an increased specific activity of alkaline phosphatase and lower levels of Mg2+ ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase in comparison with control specific activity values.
