5'-Nucleotidase is purified from lymphocyte plasma membranes by two affinity chromatographies. The first one, on Lens culinaris lectin-Sepharose 4B yields a fraction of twelve lectin-binding glycoproteins (lectin-receptor fraction). The second one on 5'-AMP-Sepharose 4B leads to pure enzyme. This enzyme is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 130 000; it gives a single band in polyacrylamide/dodecylsulfate electrophoresis and displays a very high specific activity (2500-3000 mumol Pih-1mg-1). Some properties of purified 5'-nucleotidase are similar to those of membrane-bound enzyme: substrate specificity, temperature dependence, effects of ions and SH-blocking reagents. Others are completely different for the two systems and these differences result from an interaction between the enzyme molecule and other Lens culinaris lectin binding proteins.

5'-Nucleotidase, assayed as 5'-AMPase, has been extensively characterized and established as a stable, quantitative plasma membrane marker in HeLa S3 cells. The membrane 5'-AMPase has a Km of 7.0 microM. Relative affinities of the other 5'-mononucleotides for the enzyme are 5'-GMP > 5'-TMP > 5'-UMP > 5'-CMP. There are activity optima at pH7 and 10; the latter is Mg(2+)-dependent. The membrane preparations have a small amount of acid phosphatase activity that is distinct from 5'-AMPase activity but no alkaline phosphatase. AOPCP, ADP, and ATP are strongly inhibitory. Mg2+, Ca2+, or Co2+ additions do not affect the pH 7.0 activity; Mn2+ activates slightly, whereas Zn2+, Cu2+, and Ni2+ are inhibitory. EDTA slowly inactivates, but removal of the EDTA without the addition of divalent cations restores activity. The inactivation is also substantially reversed by Co2+ or Mn2+, but reactivability by divalent cations decreases with time in EDTA. ConA strongly inhibits, and alpha-methyl-D-mannoside or glucose (the latter much less efficiently) relieves the inhibition, indicating that the 5'-AMPase is a glycoprotein. Histidine is also inhibitory. Ouabain, phloretin, cytochalasin B, cysteine, phenyl-alanine, MalNEt, and IAA are without effect. 5'-AMPase activity codistributes with pulse-bound [3H]ouabain when either of two cell fractionation procedures are used. The 5'-AMPase activity per cell is constant at different cell densities in exponentially growing cells, and activity per unit cell volume remains constant throughout the cell cycle. These properties, together with its absence in other organelles, its stability to storage, its insensitivity to certain experimental manipulations, and its general insensitivity to inhibitors of specific transport systems, make 5'-AMPase a useful quantitative marker in studies on the regulation of HeLa membrane transport systems. Key Words: HeLa, 5'-nucleotidase, plasma membrane marker, non-specific phosphatases, divalent ions, ConA, AOPCP, cell cycle, mitochondria, transport inhibitors.

Membrane glycoproteins have been studied in the normal lactating mammary gland and R3230 AC mammary tumor of the rat. Plasma membrane-enriched fractions were obtained from these tissues by discontinuous sucrose gradient centrifugation of a microsomal preparation from the tissue homogenates. The lightest membrane fractions (F-1 and F-2) have the greatest enrichment of plasma membrane markers, with a 14- to 20-fold purification of 5'-nucleotidase and Na+-K+ -adenosine triphosphatase over the homogenate values in both tumor and normal tissues for F-1. Electron microscopy shows smooth membrane vesicles for these fractions. Polypeptide analysis by acrylamide gel electrophoresis shows essentially the same patterns for F-1 and F-2 and only relatively minor differences between membrane components of tumor and normal tissues. Glycoprotein analysis of the polyacrylamide gels by periodate-Schiff staining indicates more dramatic differences. Membrane Fraction F-1 from normal tissue contains two major glycoproteins, GP-II and GP-III, while Fractions F-2 and F-3 contain an additional glycoprotein, GP-I, with a higher apparent molecular weight. In the tumor, the component corresponding to GP-III is decreased or absent and a new component GP-IV is seen at a lower apparent molecular weight.

1. Six rat liver plasma-membrane subfractions of different density and morphological, enzymic and chemical properties were prepared from homogenates by a combination of differential, rate-zonal and density-gradient centrifugation. They consisted of three vesicular 'light' subfractions of density 1.12-1.13 and three 'heavy' subfractions of density 1.16-1.18 containing membrane strips and intercellular junctions. 2. All six subfractions contained a basal adenylate cyclase activity. One of the 'light' subfractions that showed the highest glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity was identified as deriving form the blood-sinusoidal face of the hepatocyte. This subfraction, unlike the others, was contaminated by Golgi components, as indicated by its morphological properties and the presence of galactosyl- and sialyl-transferase activities. 3. All the six subfractions showed high activities of the following plasma-membrane marker enzymes: 5'-nucleotidase, alkaline phosphodiesterase (nucleotide pyrophosphatase), alkaline phosphatase, leucine naphthylamidase and Mg2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase. A 'light' subfraction that showed the highest specific activities of all the above marker enzymes, but lacked a glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity, was identified as deriving from the bile-canalicular face of the hepatocyte. 4. The 'heavy' subfractions, which showed generally the lowest activities of the above plasma-membrane enzyme markers, and were characterized by the presence of desmosomes and gap junctions, were taken to originate from the contiguous faces of the hepatocyte. 5. The protein composition of the six subfractions was generally similar, as shown by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. Differences in the amounts of various protein and glycoprotein bands among the subfractions correlated with their morphology, enzymic composition and sialic acid content. 6. Hormonal and histochemical evidence supporting the identification of a bile-canalicular subfraction, a blood-sinusoidal subfraction and contiguous-face subfractions is discussed.

1. The distributions of several enzymes and other marker components were examined after zonal centrifugations of whole homogenates from glucose-repressed Saccharomyces cerevisiae on sucrose and iso-osmotic Ficoll, and the composition and morphology of the fractions were investigated. 2. After high-speed zonal centrifugation most of the protein, acid and alkaline phosphatases, alkaline pyrophosphatase, adenosine monophosphatase, beta-fructofuranosidase, alpha-mannosidase, NADPH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and an appreciable amount of phospholipid and sterol were non-sedimentable, i.e. were at densities below 1.09 (g/cm3). Most of the RNA was at p=1.06-1.08 in Ficoll and at p=1.09-1.11 in sucrose. 3. The bulk of the Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Mg-ATPase) was coincident with the main peak of phospholipid and sterol, at median density 1.10, which was also rich in smooth-membrane vesicles. In Ficoll, a minor peak of phospholipid and sterol at p-1.12-1.15 contained a smaller part of the oligomycin-insensitive Mg-ATPase and heavy membrane fragments. In sucrose, several minor peaks of Mg-ATPase were in the mitochondrial density range, and a peak of oligomycin-insensitive Mg-ATPase coincident with a minor peak of phospholipid and sterol at around p-1.25 contained heavy membrane fragments of high carbohydrate content, especially mannose. 4. Further purification of the oligomycin-insensitive Mg-ATPase containing membrane preparations was performed on Urografin gradients. 5. It is argued that the oligomycin-insensitive Mg-ATPase containing membranes are fragments of the plasma membrane, but have different densities because they contain different amounts of glycoprotein particles.

1. Enzymes, proteins, glycoproteins and lipids of rodent bile were compared with those of a plasma-membrane subfraction originating from the hepatocyte bile-canalicular membrane. 2. Three bile-canalicular glycoprotein enzyme activities were detected in bile. Comparison of the pH optimum and immunoinhibition properties of membrane and bile 5'-nucleotidase activity indicated that they were the same enzyme. Correspondence between membrane and bile alkaline phosphodiesterases also suggested that they were the same enzymes. Activities of Mg2+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase, a lipid-dependent intrinsic membrane protein, and galactosyltransferase, a Golgi membrane marker, were not detected in bile. 3. Rodent bile contained 15 polypeptide bands that differed radically from those of bile-canalicular membranes. Bands that may correspond in molecular weight to liver plasma-membrane glycoproteins were present at low staining intensities in bile. A major protein of apparent molecular weight 49 500 was present, and albumin was detected by immunodiffusion. 4. The lipid composition of bile and bile-canalicular membrane also differed. Phosphatidylcholine accounted for 82% of rat bile phospholipids, and only trace amounts of phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine and sphingomyelin were present. 5. The results indicate that in healthy animals, the bile-canalicular membrane is refractory to the action of bile acids during the secretory process. The presence of only small amounts of bile-canalicular membrane components, especially glycoprotein enzymes located at the outer face of the membrane, suggests that these are released from the membrane by bile acids after secretion of bile into the canalicular spaces.

The enzymes from the venom of Heterometrus scaber, the indole compounds present and the toxic protein of the venom have been studied. The venom contains acid phosphatase, ribonuclease, 5'-nucleotidase, hyaluronidase, acetylcholine esterase and phospholipase. A. The indole compounds present in the venom have been identified as 5-hydroxytryptophan, tryptophan, serotonin and tryptamine, along with two unidentified indole compounds. The venom produces hyperglycaemia in sublethal doses and this has been found to be due to increased adrenaline secretion. The toxic protein of the venom has been obtained in a pure form by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation, followed by fractional precipitation with acetone and chromatography over DEAE-Sephadex. The toxic fraction has been found to be homogeneous on acrylamide gel electrophoresis. It is a glycoprotein (molecular weight 15 000) containing 1.74% glucosamine, 0.87% galactosamine, 0.313% sialic acid, 3.25% fucose and 0.45% of an unidentified neutral sugar. It did not show any enzyme activities, haemolytic activity or inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase activity but it produced hyperglycaemia in sublethal doses. The toxic level (intravenous administration in rats) was found to be 0.72 mg/kg body weight.

5'-Nucleotidase has been purified from rat glioblastoma cells (Rugli cells). The enzyme has been solubilized from plasma membranes by using Triton X-100 and CHAPS. Two affinity chromatographies on concanavalin A and 5'-AMP-Sepharose render the purified enzyme with a high specific activity (76.36 mumol AMP.min-1.mg-1). The purified enzyme gives a single polypeptide band on SDS-PAGE with an apparent molecular mass of 74 kDa. Active forms with an apparent molecular mass of 135 kDa and 268 kDa are observed when the purified enzyme is analyzed by gel filtration in the presence of either 0.6% sodium deoxycholate or 0.1% Triton X-100, respectively. The purified 5'-nucleotidase presents optimum activity at pH 7.8-8.1 either in the presence or in the absence of Mg2+. A linear Arrhenius plot is observed in the 25-46 degrees C temperature range and an activation energy of 33.7 KJ/mol is calculated. The enzyme is inhibited by EDTA; the activity is partially restored by different divalent cations as Zn2+, Mn2+, and Co2+. The hydrolysis of nucleosides 5'-monophosphate shows Michaelis kinetic. The enzyme is inhibited by nucleosides di- and triphosphate. 5'-Nucleotidase is a glycoprotein, being its activity inhibited at different extent by various lectins.

In bull seminal plasma 5'-nucleotidase is present in heterogeneous forms. The heterogeneity is abolished by treatment of bull seminal plasma with the detergent sodium cholate. The purified enzyme, which is a glycoprotein, shows an apparent molecular mass of 160 kDa on gel filtration in the presence of 50 mmol sodium cholate and an apparent molecular mass of 72 kDa upon SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The 5'-nucleotidase of bull seminal plasma is a metalloprotein containing 2 zinc ions per molecule of dimeric protein. The removal of the two zinc ions from the protein results in a completely inactive apoenzyme. The substitution of the endogenous zinc with Co(II) Cu(II) produces a holoenzyme which is slightly activated in the case of Co(II), whereas, in the case of Cu(II) only 65% of the initial activity is recovered. The enzyme has a covalently attached glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol moiety which can be removed by treatment with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. ESR studies have indicated a radius of 35 A for the protein and that Cu(II) binds to the metal-free enzyme to a site in which sulphur donors can be excluded.

5'-Nucleotidase of a human pancreatic tumor cell line (PaTu II) has been purified to homogeneity after extraction with detergent followed by two affinity chromatographic steps. Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of purified 5'-nucleotidase revealed a single polypeptide band of 67 kDa. The Western blotted enzyme can be overlaid with concanavalin A proving its glycoprotein nature. After treatment with endoglycosidase F the deglycosylated 5'-nucleotidase exhibits an apparent molecular mass of 58 kDa. The kinetic properties of the solubilized enzyme have been determined (Km (AMP) of 4.0 microM; Vmax (AMP) = 8.6 muMOL/min.mg). Adenosine 5'-[alpha,beta-methylene]diphosphate is a competitive inhibitor of 5'-nucleotidase, whereas concanavalin A inhibits the enzymatic activity in a non-competitive manner. Polyclonal antibodies against purified 5'-nucleotidase of PaTu II have been produced which inhibit its enzymatic activity. Polyclonal antibodies raised against the enzyme purified from rat liver or bull seminal plasma also recognize 5'-nucleotidase of PaTu II cells, whereas polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies against the enzyme derived from chicken gizzard show no cross-reactivity. 5'-Nucleotidase appears to be concentrated in the plasma membrane of PaTu II cells as judged by cell fractionation and indirect immunofluorescence studies.
