A membrane fraction from calf thymocytes was used to investigate molecular and catalytic properties of membrane-bound alkaline phosphatase (ortho-phosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase EC 3.1.3.1). The principal findings were: 1. Solubilization of membranes with the non-ionic detergent Triton X-100 increases alkaline phosphatase activity by 30-40%. The enzyme activity elutes in a single peak (Stokes' radius = 7.7 nm) after chromatography in Sepharose 6B in the presence of Triton X-100. The activity also sediments as a single component of approx. 6.4 S during centrifugation in sucrose gradients containing Triton X-100. 2. Ion-exchange chromatography and isoelectric focusing in the presence of Triton X-100 indicate substantial charge heterogeneity. Two overlapping bands, a peak at pH 5.92 with a pronounced shoulder at pH 5.29, are apparent by isoelectric focusing. 3. The pH optimum for hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPhP) by the undissolved enzyme(s) is 9.57. Half-maximal activity occurs at pH 8.65 and ph 10.45. Triton X-100 has no effect on the pH profile. 4. Catalytic activity is affected by amines, especially analogues of ethanolamine. Diethanolamine exerts a unique stimulatory effect, but does not change the pH dependency. Increasing the concentration of diethanolamine from 0 to 1 M causes a 6-fold increase in Km and a 10-fold increase in the rate of hydrolysis of pNPhP. Glycine is inhibitory. 5. EDTA causes an irreversible loss of activity with t1/2 (1 mM EDTA, pH 8.2, 23 degrees C) = 3.5 h. Optimal activity is achieved in 0.1--1.0 mM Mg2+, although this does not cause the degree of activation reported to occur with the purified enzymes. Other divalent ions are inhibitory. Concentrations required to reduce activity to 50% of control are: Zn2+, 4.0 muM (no added Mg2+) and 30 muM (in the presence of 1 mM Mg2+); Mn2+, 0.25 mM (+/- Mg2+); Ca2+, 20 mM (+/- Mg2+). 6. Monovalent cations have little effect on activity. In the absence of added Mg2+, 50--150 mM Na+ is partially inhibitory, but markedly less so in the presence of 1 mM Mg2+. K+ has no significant effect. 7. Of the substrates tested, pNPhP (Km = 44 muM) was most rapidly hydrolyzed. Other substrates (rate relative to pNPhP) were alpha-naphthylphosphate (0.79), 2'-AMP (0.80), 5'-AMP (0.70), 3'-AMP (0.63), alpha-glycerophosphate (0.47) and glucose 6-phosphate (0.35). Phosphodiesterase activity was less than or equal to 10% of the phosphomonoesterase activity (for pNPhP) as evidenced by the lack of hydrolysis of bis(p-nitrophenyl)-phosphate and cyclic 3',5'-AMP. The ability of these substances to inhibit hydrolysis of pNPhP reflected their capacity as substrates, i.e. the most inhibitory were the most rapidly hydrolyzed.

1. Plasma membranes were isolated from ascites hepatoma AH-130 and rat livers with or without partial hepatectomy or bile duct ligation. Reciprocal manifestations of two marker enzymes for plasma membranes were observed in these membrane preparations; alkaline phosphatase activity was found much higher in the hepatoma membrane than in any preparations of the liver membranes, whereas 5'-nucleotidase activity was much lower in the former than in the latter. 2. Effects of lectins and anti-plasma membrane antiserum on these two marker enzymes were examined. The results showed that about 50% of apparent activity of 5'-nucleotidase found in the hepatoma membrane was exhibited by alkaline phosphatase. 3. Localizations of alkaline phosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase in polyacrylamide gels after electrophoresis were demonstrated using 5'-AMP and 5-Br, 4-Cl-indoxylphosphate as substrate. There was a difference in electrophoretic mobility between the alkaline phosphatase of the hepatoma and that of the liver.

Alkaline phosphatase was purified from plasma membranes of rat ascites hepatoma AH-130, the homogenate of which had 50-fold higher specific activity than that found in the liver homogenate. The presence of Triton X-100, 0.5%, was essential to avoid its aggregation and to stabilize its activity. The purified enzyme, a glycoprotien, was homogeneous in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate indicated a protein molecular weight of 140,000. The addition of beta-mercaptoethanol caused the dissociation of the alkaline phosphatase into two subunits of identical molecular weight, 72,000. Isoelectric focusing revealed that the pI of this enzyme is 4.7. The pH optimum for the purified enzyme was 10.5 or higher with p-nitrophenylphosphate, and slightly lower pH values (pH 9.5--10.2) were obtained when other substrates were used. Of the substrates tested, p-nitrophenylphosphate (Km-0.3 mM) was most rapidly hydrolyzed. Vmax values of other substrates relative to that of p-nitrophenylphosphate were as follows; beta-glycerophosphate, 76%; 5'-TMP, 82%; 5'-AMP, 62%; 5'-IMP, 43%; glucose-6-phosphate, 39%; ADP, 36% and ATP, 15%. More than 90% of the activity of the purified enzyme was irreversibly lost when it was heated at 55 degrees C for 30 min, or exposed either to 10 mM beta-mercaptoethanol for 10 min to 3 M urea for 30 min, or to an acidic pH below pH 5.0 for 2 h. Of the effects by divalent cations, Mg2+ activated the enzyme by 20% whereas Zn2+ strongly inhibited it by 95% at 0.5 mM. EDTA at higher than 1 mM inactivated the enzyme irreversibly, although the effect of EDTA at lower than 0.1 mM was reversible by the addition of divalent cations, particularly by Mg2+. The enzyme was most strongly inhibited by L-histidine among the amino acids tested, and also strongly inhibited by imidazole. These results suggest that alkaline phosphatase of rat hepatoma AH-130 is very similar to that of rat liver in most of the properties reported so far.

The sum of the amounts of NAD + NADH was determined from the same acid tissue extract with the aid of a highly specific radioimmunoassay for 5'-AMP. NAD was converted to 5'-AMP via ADP-ribose by alkaline treatment while NADH was converted first to ADP-ribose by incubation of the acid extract at 25 degrees C followed by alkaline conversion to 5'-AMP. Removal of phosphate groups in NADP and NADPH by treatment of the extracts with alkaline phosphatase extended the procedure to the quantification of NADP(H). When combined with enzymic analyses of the oxidized coenzyme forms, NAD/NADH and NADP/NADPH ratios could also be obtained from the same extracts. The sensitivity of the test allows quantification of pyridine nucleotides in the range of 0.1--10 pmol.

Group A streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin (SPE) type C, produced by strain T18P grown in the presence of 32P, was separated from culture supernatant fluids by using alcohol precipitation. The resulting toxin (EtOH-1) contained 3 X 10(6) to 5 X 10(6) cpm of 32P per milligram of protein. The radiolabel migrated with SPE C during isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gels (pI 6.7) and double immunodiffusion, in which the toxin formed a line of identity with highly purified SPE C when reacted with hyperimmune antisera raised against SPE C. The EtOH-1 radiolabeled toxin was pyrogenic and had the capacity to enhance host susceptibility to lethal endotoxin shock. EtOH-1 toxin lost both radiolabel and biological activity after being treated with alkaline phosphatase. The nonspecific lymphocyte mitogenicity of purified unlabeled SPE C was stimulated by adenosine monophosphate but not adenosine, adenosine diphosphate, or adenosine triphosphate. Adenosine monophosphate may function as a cofactor of SPE C and contribute the phosphate group required for biological activity.

4-Nitrophenyl and 2-napthyl monoesters of phenylphosphonic acid have been synthesized, and an enzyme catalyzing their hydrolysis was resolved from alkaline phosphatase of a commerical calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase preparation by extensive ion-exchange chromatography, chromatography on L-phenylalanyl-Sepharose with a decreasing gradient of (NH4) 2SO4, and gel filtration. Detergent-solubilized enzyme from fresh bovine intestine was purified after (NH4)2SO4 fractionation by the same technique. The purified enzyme is homogeneous by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and sedimentation equilibrium centrifugation. It has a molecular weight of 108,000, contains approximately 21% carbohydrate, and has an amino acid composition considerably different from that reported from alkaline phosphatase from the same tissue. The homogeneous intestinal enzyme, an efficient catalyst of phosphonate ester hydoolysis but not of phosphate monoester hydrolysis, was identified as a 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase by its ability to hydrolyze 4-nitrophenyl esters of 5'-TMP but not of 3'-TMP. Also consistent with this identification was the ability of the enzyme to hydrolyze 5'-ATP to 5'-AMP and PPi, NAD+ to 5'-AMP and NMN, TpT to 5'-TMP and thymidine, pApApApA to 5'-AMP, and only the single-stranded portion of tRNA from the 3'-OH end. Snake venom 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase also hydrolyzes phosphonate esters, but 3'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase of spleen and cyclic 3',5'-AMP phosphodiesterase do not. Thus, types of phosphodiesterases can be conveniently distinguished by their ability to hydrolyze phosphonate esters. As substrates for 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterases, phosphonate esters are preferable to the more conventional esters of nucleotides and bis(4-nitrophenyl) phosphate because of their superior stability and ease of synthesis. Furthermore, the rate of hydrolysis of phosphonate esters under saturating conditions is greater than that of the conventional substrates. At substrate concentrations of 1 mM the rates of hydrolysis of phosphonate esters and of nucleotide esters are comparable and both superior to that of bis(4-nitrophenyl) phosphate.

Rat spermatozoa from the cauda epididymidis, freed from their cytoplasmic droplets and acrosomes, were found to have a lower lipid content and to incorporate [14C]glucose into their glycerides and glycerophosphatides at a lower rate than spermatozoa from the caput epididymidis. Against the background of the activities of some glycolytic enzymes which remained constant the activity of alkaline phosphatase decreased in spermatozoa migrating through the epididymis, whereas the activity of monoglyceride lipase increased. The corresponding enzyme activities of non-flagellate germ cells of the testis were measured for comparison. The triglyceride lipase of non-flagellate germ cells and of spermatozoa from both caput and cauda epididymidis was activated by cyclic 3':5'-AMP.

Soluble adenylate cyclase [EC 4.6.1.1] accumulates in the culture medium of exponentially growing Bordetella pertussis (300-900 pmol of cAMP formed/min per ml of 24 hr culture supernatant). In addition, there is an extracytoplasmic adenylate cyclase which enables the intact organisms to form [32P] cAMP (adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate) from exogenous [alpha-32P] ATP (200-1200 nmol of cAMP formed/min per g wet weight of cells) and which comprises 20-45% of the total adenylate cyclase activity. In contrast, only 1.7 and 2.4% of the total cell malate dehydrogenase [EC 1.1.1.37] and alkaline phosphatase [EC 3.1.3.1], respectively, are detectable in the intact cell. Trypsin treatment of intact organisms destroys 96% of the extracytoplasmic adenylate cyclase, but does not reduce the total cell malate dehydrogenase or a small pool of intracellular adenylate cyclase. Four compartments of adenylate cyclase in B. pertussis are proposed; (A) soluble enzyme in the culture supernatant (up to 20% of the total activity); (B) enzyme associated with intact cells and measurable without cell disruption (20-45%); (C) extracytoplasmic enzyme sensitive to trypsin, but not measurable in intact cells at standard substrate concentrations (40-60%); and (D) intracellular enzyme (7-9%). In comparison with previously studied bacterial adenylate cyclases, the extracytoplasmic location appears to be unique to the B. pertussis enzyme.

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.

An attempt has been made to show that the increase in enzyme activities in sera of pregnant women found with glucose-6-phosphate and adenosine 5'-monophosphate as substrates (described as glucose-6-phosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase) was due to the increase in alkaline phosphatase. The three enzyme activities has pH optima and heat stability characteristics of alkaline phosphatase. The response to the action of inhibitors and activators was typical for alkaline phosphatase. There was an identical increase in all three enzyme activities during pregnancy. As a control similar investigations were made with liver and placental tissue extracts.
