A repressible alkaline phosphatase has been isolated from the extreme bacterial thermophile. Thermus aquaticus, and has been purified to homogeneity as judged by disc acrylamide electrophoresis and sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis. Upon investigation, the purified enzyme was shown to hydrolyze certain phosphodiesters in addition to a wide variety of phosphomonoesters. The diesters included bis-p-nitro-phenyl phosphate and thymidine 3'-monophospho-p-nitro-phenyl ester. The temperature optimum for the diesterase activity was 80--85 degrees at pH 7.2. Orthophosphate competitively inhibited both activities. Nucleotides such as AMP, ADP, and ATP also inhibited both esterase activities as did alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate and alpha-sodium glycerol phosphate. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was determined to be 8.4.

Activities of the enzymes glutamine synthetase (EC 6.3.1.2.), glucosamine 6-phosphate acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.4.), uridine 5'-diphosphate (UDP)-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase (EC 2.7.23.), UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 4-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.7.), fructose 1,6-diphosphate phosphatase (EC 3.13.11.), L-glutamine-fructose 6-phosphate transamidase (EC 5.3.1.19.), alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1.), and malic dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37) were assayed in partially purified extracts prepared at different stages of myxospore formation and germination in liquid cultures of Myxococcus xanthus. The specific activities of the first six of these enzymes increased 4.5- to 7.5-fold after 2 h of induction with 0.5 M glycerol or 0.2 M dimethyl sulfoxide. The increase in specific activities of these six enzymes was not observed in a mutant unable to be induced with glycerol. During the first 2 to 4 h of induction and during the first hour of germination, the level of these enzymes decreased to the level characteristic of vegetative cells. It is suggested that the six enzymes are responsible for the increased conversion of fructose 1,6-diphosphate to UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine, the major precursor of the myxospore coat.

The extent and dynamics of changes by short (1 min) or prolonged (6 min) tourniquet application while obtaining venous blood samples were analysed with respect ot 33 frequently measured constituents of blood and serum. After 6-minute tourniquet application the values for red cells, haemoglobin, packed cell volume, total protein, albumen, gamma-glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, creatinekinase, bilirubin, cholesterol, total glycerol and calcium increased by an average of 4-9%. One-minute tourniquet application did not have a significant effect. Levels of sodium, potassium, carbon dioxide, creatinine, uric acid, ratio of electrophoretic fractions and the MCV, MCH and MCHC indices were not affected even by 6-minute tourniquet applications. The introduction of blood sampling under standardised conditions is proposed.

An alkaline phosphatase mutant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibiting both regulatory and catalytic changes was isolated. Under repression conditions (i.e. high inorganic phosphate (Pi)) the mutant culture produced an alkaline phosphatase (APase) displaying significant activity against both beta-glycerol phosphate (betaGP) and p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP), while the wild type displayed no activity directed towards these substrates under the same conditions. In vivo, the mutant enzyme's ratio of specific activities was 45:1 in favour of betaGP versus pNPP, whereas this ratio was reversed to 1:9 betaGP versus pNPP for the same enzyme isolated from mutant cells. In addition, the kinetic parameters and stability requirements for the mutant-derived enzyme was altered in comparison with those of the wild type. A study of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) preparations from both the mutant and wild type indicated the mutant to be deficient in the core region of its LPS. The authors propose that the modifications in the catalytic activity of the mutant enzyme, demonstrated in vivo, are due to a change in the enzyme's microenvironment.

It is suggested that ABRM, smooth muscle of Mytilus edulis L. and Mytilus galloprovincialis Lmk. (Mollusca Pelecypoda), is composed of one histochemical fibre type. The fibres are characterized by a low myofibrillar ATPase activity. Succinic and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidoreductase activities are distributed in a reverse pattern than that of the ATPase activity. Glycogen phosphorylase is richly represented in ABRM fibres and this detection is in opposition with the negative detection of alkaline phosphatase activity. These preliminary histochemical observations are similar to those found in some vertebrate smooth muscles. Mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate, 6-phosphogluconate, lactate and octopine dehydrogenases are not detected in muscle fibres whereas glio-interstitial tissues show weak but distinct reactivity. These last results especially characterize Mytilus catch fibres and are briefly discussed in relationship with previous physiological, biochemical and morphological observations.

Phosphodiesterase I from the venom of Bothrops atrox has been purified by successive chromatography on phosphocellulose P-11, hydroxyapatite, and DEAE-cellulose DE 52. The final product gave a single band on sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gels and was free of endonuclease, 5' -nucleotidase, and unspecific alkaline phosphatase activity. It was concentrated in an Amicon ultrafiltrator without loss of activity and could be stored in 10 mM magnesium acetate and 10% glycerol at 4 degrees C for at least a year. Under optimal conditions, the enzyme reaction required 15 mM Mg2+ and a pH of 9.2. Phosphodiesterase I is relatively thermostable and, in the presence of a macromolecular substrate, was not denatured after 4 h at 55 degrees C. The pure enzyme offers new possibilities for sequence studies on highly structured nucleic acids at elevated temperatures.

We report the synthesis of adenosine [gamma-(S)-16O,17O,18O]triphosphate, an isotopically labeled species of ATP that is chiral at the gamma-phosphoryl group, the configuration of which has been confirmed by independent stereochemical analysis. This molecule has been used as a substrate in the reactions catalyzed by glycerol kinase and by acetate kinase. The resulting samples of isotopically labeled sn-glycerol 3-phosphate and of acetyl phosphate have been used as substrates in the alkaline phosphatase mediated transfer of the chiral phosphoryl groups to (S)-propane-1,2-diol, whence the configuration at phosphorus has been determined [Abbott, S. J., Jones, S. R., Weinman, S. A., & Knowles, J. R. (1978) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 100, 2558]. It is shown that glycerol kinase and acetate kinase (and, by virtue of an earlier correlation, pyruvate kinase and hexokinase) proceed by pathways that result in inversion of the configuration at phosphorus. The sterochemical approach provides an access to the otherwise cryptic events that are involved in phosphoryl-group transfer within the ternary complexes of these kinases and their substrates.

The effects of liposomes prepared from the E. coli lipids on the activity of soluble alkaline phosphatase and on the complementation reaction between its subunits were studied. It was shown that the liposomes nonspecifically catalyze the dimerization of the enzyme subunits without changing the dimer activity. The effects of phospholipases A2 and C on the activity of membrane-bound alkaline phosphatase were studied. An interrelationship was found between the level of hydrolysis of membrane phosphatidyl glycerol (PG) by these enzymes and the changes in the activity of membrane-bound alkaline phosphatase. It was also shown that PG is less accessible to the effects of phospholipases in the cells with derepressed biosynthesis of alkaline phosphatase. It is assumed that the membrane PG interacts with the membrane-bound alkaline phosphatase during its translocation into the periplasm.

The molecular weight of a partially purified alkaline phosphatase (orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.1) from the halotolerant yeast Debaryomyces hansenii was estimated to 110,000 by gel filtration. The isoelectric point determined by electrofocusing was at approximately pH 4.4. The enzyme had a broad specificity against phosphomonoesters and also attacked some acid anhydrides. Arsenate, molybdate, and orthophosphate acted as competitive inhibitors. Various metal-binding agents inhibited enzyme activity. A zinc addition almost completely reversed the EDTA inhibition. Magnesium stimulated enzyme activity and was required for maintenance of activity at high concentrations of Na+. Increasing glycerol concentration increased the value of the Michaelis constant (Km) and decreased the maximum velocity (V). Solutions equimolar in KCl and NaCl stimulated enzyme activity by increasing V, whereas the Km was almost unaffected by salt concentration. Enzyme extracted from cells cultured at low salinity was indistinguishable from that of cells grown in the presence of 2.7 M NaCl with respect to several criteria.

De novo synthesis of two periplasmic enzymes in Escherichia coli, alkaline phosphatase and acid hexose phosphatase, have been studied in the presence and absence of new phospholipid synthesis. Alkaline phosphatase synthesis was initiated by a temperature shift in a strain carrying a phoA amber mutation and a temperature-sensitive suppressor mutation; acid hexose phosphatase was studied after relief of catabolite repression. Glycerol auxotrophs (gpsA) were used to control phospholipid synthesis. Synthesis of both enzymes proceeded at a normal rate for 0.5 to 1.0 generation of growth, although it was then curtailed. It is concluded that secretion of these enzymes is not obligatorily coupled to new net phospholipid synthesis.
