5'-Nucleotidases play an important role in the metabolism of nucleosides; for example, the hydrolysis of AMP generates adenosine, which can modulate a variety of cellular functions. We have used the membrane-bound AMPase from chicken gizzard and a secreted form of these enzymes to analyse their modification by the substrate analogue 5'-p-fluorosulphonylbenzoyladenosine (5'-FSBA). 5'-FSBA irreversibly inactivates 5'-nucleotidases by means of covalent modification of the proteins. ATP, a competitive inhibitor of chicken gizzard and snake-venom 5'-nucleotidase, abolished the inactivation by 5'-FSBA, demonstrating that the inactivation was due to the modification of amino acid residues essential for AMPase activity. We have synthesized radioactive 5'-FSBA, which was employed for the radiolabelling of chicken gizzard 5'-nucleotidase. Incorporation of radioactivity was completely abolished in the presence of ATP, which showed that 5'-FSBA acted by the selective modification of amino acid residues at the active site whereas other potential reactive residues of the protein were not attacked. Limited proteolysis of affinity-labelled chicken gizzard 5'-nucleotidase permitted the identification of digestion products containing the catalytic centre. Pseudo-first-order kinetics indicate that modification of a minimum of one amino acid side chain at the active centre is sufficient to result in inactivation of both chicken gizzard and snake-venom 5'-nucleotidases. Incorporation of the radioactive p-sulphonylbenzoyladenosine moiety parallels the inactivation of 5'-nucleotidase by 5'-FSBA and further substantiated the idea that modification of one amino acid residue at the active centre results in loss of the AMPase activity.

KT5926, (8R*,9S*,11S*)-(-)-9-hydroxy-9-methoxycarbonyl-8-methyl-14-n-propoxy-2,3 ,9, 10-tetrahydro-8,11-epoxy, 1H,8H, 11H-2,7b,11a-triazadibenzo[a,g]cycloocta[cde] trinden-1-one, was found to be a potent and selective inhibitor of myosin light chain kinase. The compound inhibited both Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent and -independent smooth muscle myosin light chain kinases to a similar extent. The inhibition was not affected by the concentration of calmodulin. Kinetic analyses showed that the mode of inhibition was of the competitive type with respect to ATP (Ki, 18 nM) and of the noncompetitive type with respect to myosin light chain (Ki, 12 nM). These results indicated that KT5926 directly interacted with the enzyme at the catalytic site. KT5926 also inhibited other protein kinases, but with relatively high Ki values; the values for protein kinase C, cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and cGMP-dependent protein kinase were 723, 1200, and 158 nM, respectively. Ca2(+)-ATPase, Na+/K(+)-ATPase, hexokinase, and 5'-nucleotidase were not inhibited by KT5926 at less than 10 microM. The effect of KT5926 on serotonin secretion and protein phosphorylation induced by platelet-activating factor or phorbol ester was examined in rabbit platelets. KT5926 inhibited the phosphorylation of a 20-kDa protein but had no effect on the phosphorylation of a 40-kDa protein, thereby indicating that the compound exerts its selective inhibition of myosin light chain kinase in intact cells. The compound inhibited serotonin secretion induced by platelet-activating factor, but its potency was significantly less than that of K-252a, (8R*,9S*,11S*)-(-)-9-hydroxy-9-methoxycarbonyl-8-methyl-2,3,9, 10-tetrahydro-8,11-epoxy-1H,8H,11H-2,7b, 11a-triazadibenzo[a,g]cycloocta [cde]trinden-1-one, which inhibited the phosphorylation of both the 20-kDa protein and the 40-kDa protein. Phorbol ester-induced secretion was not suppressed by KT5926. These results provide the evidence that both the 20-kDa protein phosphorylation by myosin light chain kinase and the 40-kDa protein phosphorylation by protein kinase C substantially contribute to the secretion response in platelets.

Acetylcholine and ATP are costored and coreleased during synaptic activity at the electric organ of Torpedo. It has been suggested that released ATP is converted to adenosine at the synaptic cleft, and in turn this nucleoside would depress the evoked release of acetylcholine. In the present communication we have used a chemiluminescent reaction that let us to monitor continuously the presence of adenosine in this preparation. The chemiluminescent reaction is based on the conversion of adenosine into uric acid and H2O2 by adenosine deaminase, nucleoside phosphorylase, and xanthine oxidase enzymes. The hydrogen peroxide has been detected by peroxidase-luminol mixture. The reaction has a sensitivity on the picomol range and discerned between Adenosine, AMP, ADP, and ATP. We have developed this technique in the hope of understanding whether adenosine is released during synaptic activity or it comes from the released ATP. We have studied the release or formation of adenosine in fragments of the electric organ and in isolated cholinergic nerve terminals obtained from it. In both conditions we have followed the effect of potassium stimulation upon the detection of adenosine. Potassium stimulation increased the extracellular adenosine either in slices or the synaptosomal fraction of Torpedo electric organ. The presence of alpha, beta-methylene ADP, an inhibitor of 5'-nucleotidase, inhibits the detection of adenosine, suggesting that extracellular adenosine is a consequence of ectocellular dephosphorylation of released ATP.

A soluble 5'-nucleotidase was purified 200-fold from pigeon heart. The enzyme (1) had an apparent molecular mass close to 150 kDa, (2) had a neutral pH optimum and hydrolysed a wide range of nucleoside 5'-monophosphates with a 15-fold preference for AMP over IMP, (3) at near-physiological concentrations of AMP was activated by ADP but not by ATP, (4) was inhibited by high Mg2+ concentration and high ionic strength, (5) was weakly inhibited by p-nitrophenol phosphate and Pi, and (6) was non-competitively inhibited more potently by 5'-deoxy-5'-isobutylthioinosine than by 5'-deoxy-5'-isobutylthioadenosine, but not by [alpha,beta-methylene]ADP. The data show that the enzyme is distinct from the ecto-5'-nucleotidase and from the previously purified IMP-specific 5'-nucleotidase. They also predict that the enzyme is activated during ATP catabolism and hence will generate a more-than-linear increase in the adenosine-formation rate in response to an increase in cytosolic AMP concentration.

Intracellular adenosine formation and release to extracellular space was studied in WI-L2-B and SupT1-T lymphoblasts under conditions which induce or do not induce ATP catabolism. Under induced conditions, B lymphoblasts but not T lymphoblasts, release significant amounts of adenosine, which are markedly elevated by adenosine deaminase inhibitors. In T lymphoblasts, under induced conditions, only simultaneous inhibition of both adenosine deaminase activity and adenosine kinase activities resulted in small amounts of adenosine release. Under noninduced conditions, neither B nor T lymphoblasts release adenosine, even in the presence of both adenosine deaminase or adenosine kinase inhibitors. Comparison of B and T cell's enzyme activities involved in adenosine metabolism showed similar activity of AMP deaminase, but the activities of AMP-5'-nucleotidase, adenosine kinase and adenosine deaminase differ significantly. B lymphoblasts release adenosine because of their combination of enzyme activities which produce or utilize adenosine (high AMP-5'-nucleotidase and relatively low adenosine kinase and adenosine deaminase activities). Accelerated ATP degradation in B lymphoblasts proceeds not only via AMP deamination, but also via AMP dephosphorylation into adenosine but its less efficient intracellular utilization results in the release of adenosine from these cells. In contrast, T lymphoblasts release far less adenosine, because they contain relatively low AMP-5'-nucleotidase and high adenosine kinase and adenosine deaminase activities. In T lymphoblasts, AMP formed during ATP degradation is not readily dephosphorylated to adenosine but mainly deaminated to IMP by AMP deaminase. Any adenosine formed intracellularly in T lymphoblasts is likely to be efficiently salvaged back to AMP by an active adenosine kinase. In general, these results may suggest that adenosine can be produced only by selective cells (adenosine producers) whereas other cells with enzyme combination similar to SupT1-T lymphoblasts can not produce significant amounts of adenosine even in stress conditions.

A novel 5'-nucleotidase previously described in halophilic Vibrio costicola was detected in marine Vibrio and Photobacterium strains. The enzyme of marine bacteria was similar in its properties to the 5'-nucleotidase of Vibrio costicola; it was outwardly oriented in the cytoplasmic membrane and dephosphorylated nucleoside 5'-tri-, di-, and mono-phosphates to respective nucleosides before uptake. The enzyme in marine strains was immunologically cross-reactive with the antibody raised against the purified 5'-nucleotidase of Vibrio costicola. The uptake of the products of ATP hydrolysis was studied in Vibrio harveyi, and it was shown that both adenosine and inorganic phosphate released upon the action of 5'-nucleotidase were rapidly taken up by the cell.

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3], arising from hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2], is proposed as the link between membrane-receptor activation and mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular sites in hormone-secreting cells. The location of Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive membranes was investigated in cultured neonatal beta-cells. Membranes were obtained after lysis of cells attached to positively charged Sephadex. After lysis the presence of the enzyme markers 5'-nucleotidase, glucose-6-phosphatase, NADH-cytochrome c reductase, UDP-galactosyltransferase and succinate dehydrogenase indicated the mixed nature of the preparation. After sonication, however, UDP-galactosyltransferase and succinate dehydrogenase activities were undetectable, but 4.8% of total cellular glucose-6-phosphatase and 3.4% of total cellular NADH-cytochrome c reductase remained with 5'-nucleotidase in the preparation, indicating endoplasmic-reticulum association. ATP-dependent 45Ca2+ accumulation was shown in this preparation (410 +/- 24 pmol/mg of protein at 150 nM free Ca2+) and was inhibited by vanadate (100 microM). Ca2+ release was effected by Ins(1,4,5)P3, with half-maximal release at 0.5 +/- 0.14 microM-Ins(1,4,5)P3, t1/2 11.2 +/- 1.1 s. GTP- and guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG)-promoted release of 45Ca2+ was demonstrated in this preparation, but the kinetics of release (half-maximal Ca2+ release at 5.4 +/- 0.7 microM, with t1/2 77.3 +/- 6.9 s, and at 51.1 +/- 4.2 microM, with t1/2 19.0 +/- 2.2 s, for GTP and p[NH]ppG respectively), and the ability of neomycin sulphate to block p[NH]ppG-induced release only, are indicative of separate release mechanisms after treatment with these agents. A close association between plasma membrane and elements of the endoplasmic reticulum is indicated in this model, providing a possible mechanism for local alterations in free Ca2+ in the sub-plasma-membrane region.

The dnaK protein of Escherichia coli has been shown to possess both autophosphorylating and 5'-nucleotidase activities. The dnaK protein has been shown to bind avidly to ATP, but hydrolyzing it slowly. In vitro autophosphorylation occurs at a threonine residue when either ATP or GTP are used as phosphate donors. The extent of autophosphorylation is low; only a few percent of the molecules are phosphorylated. This activity is stimulated at least tenfold in the presence of Ca2+ ions with either ATP or GTP as the donor. The autophosphorylating activity of the mutant dnaK756 protein in the presence or absence of Ca2+ is reduced compared to that of the wild type.

We have evaluated the impact of inhibiting adenine nucleotide dephosphorylation on the metabolic and functional consequences of renal ischemia. Intramuscular injection of the ADP-analogue adenosine alpha, beta-methylene diphosphate (AMP-CP) achieved a 70% reduction in 5'-nucleotidase activity, as measured in crude extracts of rat kidney. AMPCP-treated animals had an increased residual nucleotide pool at the end of 45 min of ischemia compared with untreated rats. Assessment of renal ATP by 31P-nuclear magnetic resonance (31P-NMR) in vivo during reflow demonstrates the following: 1) higher rapid initial recovery of ATP (69.3 +/- 1.2 vs. 50.0 +/- 0.5% control value, P less than 0.005), 2) accelerated rate of ATP restoration (0.20 +/- 0.02 vs. 0.11 +/- 0.01% control/min, P less than 0.005), and 3) significantly enhanced renal ATP content after 120 min (93.6 +/- 2.0 vs. 63.1 +/- 0.7% control, P less than 0.005). Kidney function, as measured by the rate of inulin clearance 24 h after the insult, was also significantly improved in AMPCP-treated rats (725 +/- 50 vs. 313 +/- 28 microliters.min-1.100 g body wt-1). Thus inhibition of 5'-nucleotidase results in enhanced metabolic and functional recovery from a renal ischemic insult.

Evidence has been obtained for the metabolic formation of small amounts (1-2% of the ATP pool) of 3-deazaadenosine 5'-triphosphate (c3ATP) from 3-deazaadenosine (c3Ado) in mouse cytolytic lymphocytes and mouse resident peritoneal macrophages. With intact leukocytes, pharmacological evidence was obtained that adenosine kinase was not the enzyme chiefly responsible for the phosphorylation of c3Ado. Moreover, in the presence of MgCl2, NaCl and IMP, purified rat liver 5'-nucleotidase catalyzed the phosphorylation of c3Ado to 3-deazaadenosine 5'-monophosphate (c3AMP). Two lines of evidence suggest that the metabolic formation of c3ATP is not involved in the inhibition of leukocyte function caused by c3Ado. First, the inhibitory action of c3Ado on antibody-dependent phagocytosis and lymphocyte-mediated cytolysis was reversed markedly upon removal of the drug from the medium. However, the intracellular content of c3ATP remained constant in lymphocytes and macrophages after removal of c3Ado. Second, in macrophages and in lymphocytes, similar intracellular amounts of c3ATP were formed from both c3Ado and 3-deazaadenine under conditions in which the former was biologically active and the latter was essentially inactive. Thus, it appears unlikely that the novel c3ATP metabolite is of relevance for the mechanism of action of c3Ado in mouse leukocytes.
