Cell-free extracts of rat brain catalyze the reactions of the purine nucleotide cycle. Ammonia is formed during the deamination but not the amination phase of the cycle. The activity of adenylate deaminase in brain is sufficient to account for the maximum rates of ammonia production that have been reported. The activity of glutamate dehydrogenase is not sufficient to account for these rates of ammonia production. The activities of adenylosuccinate synthetase and adenylosuccinase are nearly sufficient to account for the steady state rates of ammonia production observed in brain. Demonstration of the cycle in extracts of brain is complicated by the occurrence of side reactions, in particular those catalyzed by phosphomonoesterase, nucleoside phosphorylase, and guanase.

The transformation of inosine into 5'-inosine acid by Pseudomonas trifolii cells was studied. The synthesis of 5'-inosine acid can be performed by both live intact and dry cells. The effectiveness of inosine phosphorylation depends on the ratio of the inosine and phosphate donor concentrations and the amount of cells. The temperature and pH effect on activity of nucleoside phosphotransferase, phosphomonoesterase and 5'-nucleotidase has been studied. The influence of surface active substances and metal ions on the synthesis of 5'-inosine acid has been investigated. Optimal conditions for the inosine transformation by the above culture have been established.

A stable deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) polymerase (EC 2.7.7.7) with a temperature optimum of 80 degrees C has been purified from the extreme thermophile Thermus aquaticus. The enzyme is free from phosphomonoesterase, phosphodiesterase and single-stranded exonuclease activities. Maximal activity of the enzyme requires all four deoxyribonucleotides and activated calf thymus DNA. An absolute requirement for divalent cation cofactor was satisfied by Mg2+ or to a lesser extent by Mn2+. Monovalent cations at concentrations as high as 0.1 M did not show a significant inhibitory effect. The pH optimum was 8.0 in tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane-hydrochloride buffer. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated by sucrose gradient centrifugation and gel filtrations on Sephadex G-100 to be approximately 63,000 to 68,000. The elevated temperature requirement, small size, and lack of nuclease activity distinguish this polymerase from the DNA polymerase of Escherichia coli.

Acid phosphatase II (AP II) was isolated from the cell-free extract of Pichia guilliermondii Wickerham ATCC 9058 and partially purified. The enzyme is a non-specific phosphomonoesterase. It hydrolyzes p-nitrohenyl-phophate (NPP), beta-glycerophosphate, glucose-6-phosphate, guanosine-5'-monophosphate, adenosine-5'-monophosphate, cytidine-5'-monophosphate, uridine-5'-monophosphate, alpha-naphtylphosphate, FMN. The order of the substrates corresponds to the degree of their hydrolysis decrease. The Michaelis constant of the enzyme was 1.4-10-3 M for NPP as a substrate, pH optimum was 5.5 and temperature optimum-40C. AP II was strongly inhibited by MoO4-2, F-, inorganic phosphate, Cu2+ and Be2+. The activity of the enzyme in the yeast cells does not change noticeably during growth on media with low and high iron content.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate phosphomonoesterase was isolated and partially purified from wheat (Triticum aestivum L. var. Selkirk) leaves. The enzyme had KNADP value of 1.4 X 10(-4) M and a pH optimum of 5.9. In vitro activity of this enzyme was unaffected by precursors of NAD (nicotinamide and nicotinic acid) or cytokinins (kinetin and benzimidazole). However, when detached wheat leaves were treated with solutions of these compounds, the precursors lowered the specific activity while the cytokinins enhanced the activity. It is suggested that spatial separation and compartmentation of the enzyme and its substrate NADP account for the similar effect of benzimidazole on both.

1. On subcellular fractionation of rat brain homogenate, polyphosphoinositide phosphomonoesterase activity was greater in the cytosol than the membranous fractions. 2. The enzyme was purified from the cytosol by column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, calcium phosphate gel and Sephadex G-100. 3. The final preparation of the enzyme showed a 430-fold purification over the whole homogenate and appeared to be homogeneous since it gave a single band on sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and on isoelectric focusing. The enzyme has a relatively low molecular weight and an isoelectric point of 6.8. 4. The phosphatase showed a high affinity for triphosphoinositide. Without added Mg2+, the Km was 25 muM and V was 33 mumol Pi released/min/mg protein. 5. The enzyme hydrolysed diphosphoinositide at a slower rate than triphosphoinositide. In the presence of 10 mM Mg2+, the Km values for triphosphoinositide and diphosphoinositide were 5 muM and 25 muM respectively and V was the same for each substrate. 6. Both Mg2+ and Ca2+ activated the enzyme. While Ca2+ produced maximum activation at 100 muM, a much higher concentration of Mg2+ (10 mM) was required to elicit comparable activation. The enzyme did not show an absolute requirement for Mg2+ or Ca2+ as it exhibited low activity in the presence of 0.5 mM EDTA or EGTA. 7. The phosphatase showed maximum activity between 7.4 and 7.6. A drop in pH to 7.0 activated it almost completely, whereas an increase in pH to 8.0 halved the activity. 7.0 activated it almost completely, whereas an increase in pH to 8.0 halved the activity.

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.

Partially purified enzyme fraction from rat kidney possessing high uridine kinase and phosphomonoesterase activity was insolubilized by means of zinc precipitation without substantial loss of the activity. While uridine kinase in a soluble and Zn-precipitated form was inhibited by low concentrations (0.5-1.0 mM) of Zn2+-ions, phosphomonoesterase was fully active. In contrast to the soluble fraction, the two enzymes in zinc-precipitated and lyophilized preparations were stable on heating at 100 degrees C. Metal complexed proteins catalyze the dephosphorylation of 5'-UMP, 6-AzaUMP as well as of 2'(3')-UMP or 2,4-dinitrophenyl phosphate indicating thus the presence of several phosphomonoesterases in the complex.

Vicia faba root cells contain several nucleolytic activities: phosphomonoesterase and phosphodiesterase (which however were not studied in details), one nuclease and four ribonucleases. These results were obtained by separating the extracted proteins into anionic and cationic species by chromatography on CM-cellulose at pH 5.5 and analysing each kind of proteins. Anionic species were subjected to chromatography on DEAE-cellulose which lead to isolation of one nuclease (A1) and two RNAases (A2, A3), the properties of which were studied. It was shown that the RNAases pH optima are near 6; A2 is more thermolabile than A3; both are endonucleases unable to attack double-stranded structure; studies with homopolymers, i.e. poly(A), poly(I), poly(C), poly(U), showed that their base specificities were analogous to that of already known plant RNAases. The cationic proteins, analysed with CM-cellulose, contain two RNAases (C1, C2). The pH optima were near 6 and 7, respectively; C1 is much more thermolabile than C2; both were endonucleases inactive on double-stranded structures. C1 and C2 hydrolysed poly(C) and poly(U) but not poly(A) and poly(U).

Purified chondrocytic alkaline phosphatase (orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase (alkaline optimum), EC 3.1.3.1) from bovine fetal epiphyseal cartilage hydrolyzes a variety of phosphate esters as well as ATP and inorganic pyrophosphate. Optimal activities for p-nitrophenyl phosphate, ATP and inorganic pyrophosphate are found at pH 10.5, 10.0 and 8.5, respectively. The latter two substrates exhibit substrate inhibition at high concentrations. p-Nitrophenyl phosphate demonstrates decreasing pH optima with decreasng substrate concentration. Heat inactivation studies indicate that both phosphorolytic and pyrophosphorolytic cleavage occur at the same site on the enzyme. Mg2+ (0.1-10.0 mM) and Mn2+ (0.01-0.1 mM) show a small stimulation of p-nitrophenyl phosphate-splitting activity at pH 10.5. Levamisole, Pi, CN-, Zn2+ and L-phenylalanine are all reversible inhibitors of the phosphomonoesterase activity. Pi is a competitive inhibitor with a Ki of 10.0 mM. Levamisole and Zn2+ are potent non-competitive inhibitors with inhibition constants of 0.05 and 0.04 mM, respectively. The chondrocytic alkaline phosphatase is inhibited irreversibly by Be2+, EDTA, EGTA, ethane-1-hydroxydiphosphonate, dichloromethane diphosphonate, L-cysteine, phenyl-methylsulfonyl fluoride, N-ethylmaleimide and iodoacetamide. NaCL, KCL and Na2SO4 at 0.5-1.0 M inhibit the enzyme. At pH 8.5, the cleavage of inorganic pyrophosphate (pyrophosphate phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.1) by the chondrocytic enzyme is slightly enhanced by low levels of Mg2+ and depressed by concentrations higher than 1mM. Ca2+ show only inhibition. Similar effects of Mg2+ and Ca2+ on the associated ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.6.3) activity were observed. Arrhenius studies using p-nitrophenyl phosphate and AMP as substrates have accounted for the ten-fold difference in V in terms of small differences in both the enthalpies and entropies of activation which are 700 cal/mol and 2.3 cal/degree per mol, respectively.
