A human placental soluble "high Km" 5'-nucleotidase has been separated from "low Km" 5'-nucleotidase and nonspecific phosphatase by AMP-Sepharose affinity chromatography. The enzyme was purified 8000-fold to a specific activity of 25.6 mumol/min/mg. The subunit molecular mass is 53 kDa, and the native molecular mass is 210 kDa, suggesting a tetrameric structure. Soluble high Km 5'-nucleotidase is most active with IMP and GMP and their deoxy derivatives. IMP is hydrolyzed 15 times faster than AMP. The enzyme has a virtually absolute requirement for magnesium ions and is regulated by them. Purine nucleoside 5'-triphosphates strongly activate the enzyme with the potency order dATP greater than ATP greater than GTP. 2,3-Diphosphoglycerate activates the enzyme as potently as ATP. Three millimolar ATP decreased the Km for IMP from 0.33 to 0.09 mM and increased the Vmax 12-fold. ATP activation was modified by the IMP concentration. At 20 microM IMP the ATP-dependent activation curve was sigmoidal, while at 2 mM IMP it was hyperbolic. The A0.5 values for ATP were 2.26 and 0.70 mM, and the relative maximal velocities were 32.9 and 126.0 nmol/min, respectively. Inorganic phosphate shifts the hyperbolic substrate velocity relationship for IMP to a sigmoidal one. With physiological concentrations of cofactors (3 mM ATP, 1-4 mM Pi, 150 mM KCl) at pH 7.4, the enzyme is 25-35 times more active toward 100 microM IMP than 100 microM AMP. These data show that: (a) soluble human placental high Km 5'-nucleotidase coexists in human placenta with the low Km enzyme; (b) under physiological conditions the enzyme favors the hydrolysis of IMP and is critically regulated by IMP, ATP, and Pi levels; and (c) kinetic properties of ATP and IMP are each modified by the other compound suggesting complex interaction of the associated binding sites.

Of the various species of cellular 5'-nucleotidases, membranous, lysosomal and cytosolic, only the latter are likely to play a role in the physiologic dephosphorylation of the 5'-nucleoside monophosphates present in the cytoplasm. The necessity to preserve cellular ATP renders a strict control of the dephosphorylation as well as of the deamination of AMP mandatory, because both nucleotides are maintained in equilibrium by adenylate kinase. Our studies of cytosolic purine 5'-nucleotidases purified from rat liver and from human erythrocytes, reviewed in this presentation, have shown that both display complex kinetic properties. Both enzymes have markedly higher affinities for IMP and for GMP than for AMP. In addition, they are stimulated by nucleoside triphosphates, among them ATP and GTP, and inhibited by Pi. The erythrocytic purine 5'-nucleotidase is also stimulated by glycerate 2,3-bisphosphate. It could thus be expected that under conditions of ATP and GTP breakdown, particularly when accompanied by an increase in Pi, the dephosphorylation of AMP would be curtailed. To verify this hypothesis, experiments were performed with isolated rat hepatocytes and with human red blood cells. The rate of dephosphorylation of AMP was measured by following time-wise the production of adenosine in the presence of coformycin (or deoxycoformycin) and 5-iodotubercidin. The coformycins inhibit the deamination of adenosine into inosine by adenosine deaminase, and 5-iodotubercidin inhibits the recycling of adenosine into AMP by adenosine kinase. Upon induction of ATP catabolism by the addition of fructose to isolated rat hepatocytes, the dephosphorylation of AMP was nearly completely suppressed. In accordance with these results, the activity of the rat liver cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase, assayed in the presence of concentrations of substrate and effectors mimicking those measured in intact cells following the addition of fructose, was decreased as compared to control conditions. In hepatocytes in which ATP catabolism was induced by suppression of oxygen, the rate of dephosphorylation of AMP increased about 3-fold. However, in contradiction with these data, the activity of the cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase, measured under conditions mimicking anoxia, decreased markedly. In human erythrocytes, dephosphorylation of AMP did not occur under physiologic conditions, but proceeded when ATP catabolism was induced by glucose lack or by alkalinization. The rate of dephosphorylation of AMP was 3-fold higher during glucose deprivation than under alkaline conditions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The kinetic properties of highly purified human placental cytoplasmic 5'-nucleotidase were investigated. Initial velocity studies gave Michaelis constants for AMP, IMP, and CMP of 18, 30, and 2.2 microM, respectively. The enzyme shows the following relative Vmax values: CMP greater than UMP greater than dUMP greater than GMP greater than AMP greater than dCMP greater than IMP. The activity was magnesium-dependent, and this cation binds sequentially with a Km of 14 microM for AMP and an apparent Km of 6 mM for magnesium. A large variety of purine, pyrimidine, and pyridine compounds exert an inhibitory effect on enzyme activity. IMP, GMP, and NADH produce almost 100% inhibition at 1.0 mM. Nucleoside di- and triphosphates are potent inhibitors. ATP and ADP are competitive inhibitors with respect to AMP and IMP as substrates with Ki values of 100 and 15 microM, respectively. Inorganic phosphate is a noncompetitive inhibitor with Ki values of 19 and 43 mM. Nucleosides and other compounds studied produce only a modest decrease of enzyme activity at 1 mM. Our findings suggest that the enzyme is regulated under physiological conditions by the concentrations of magnesium, nucleoside 5'-monophosphates, and nucleoside di- and triphosphates. The nucleotide pool concentration regulates the enzyme possibly by a mechanism of heterogeneous metabolic pool inhibition. These properties of human placental cytoplasmic 5'-nucleotidase may be related to the control of nucleotide degradation in vivo.

The adenine nucleotides AMP, ADP and ATP (3 X 10(-7) M and above) inhibited contractile responses to transmural nerve stimulation in guinea-pig ileum longitudinal muscle via a prejunctional action. Nucleotides assumed to inhibit the degradation of adenine nucleotides were employed to determine whether inhibition of contractile responses was elicited by adenine nucleotides per se, or required breakdown to adenosine. The IMP or 2'-deoxy AMP enhanced the prejunctional inhibitory effect elicited by AMP. A similar enhancement of the inhibitory effect of ADP and ATP was seen after administration of IDP and ITP, respectively. The inhibitory effect of adenosine was not enhanced by inosine, IMP or IDP. The 5'-nucleotidase inhibitor, TDP enhanced inhibition elicited by ADP. In contrast, alpha, beta-meADP did not influence the prejunctional inhibitory effect elicited by the adenine nucleotides. However, the combination of alpha, beta-meADP and IMP enhanced the inhibitory effect of ATP. The postjunctional contractile effect elicited by ADP and ATP was enhanced by pretreatment with inosine nucleotides, alpha, beta-meADP or TDP, indicating decreased inactivation of ADP and ATP during concurrent nucleotide administration. The fact that the prejunctional effect of adenine nucleotides can be enhanced by forms of pretreatment known to antagonize the breakdown of adenine nucleotides, constitutes strong evidence for prejunctional action per se by adenine nucleotides.

Intact synaptosomes isolated from the electric organ of the electric ray Torpedo marmorata contain, at their surface, enzyme activities for the hydrolysis of externally applied nucleoside phosphates. The diazonium salt of sulfanilic acid, as a low-molecular-weight, slowly permeating, covalent inhibitory agent, selectively blocks these enzyme activities and leaves intracellular lactate dehydrogenase intact. The ectoenzymes comprise both a nucleoside triphosphate and diphosphate phosphohydrolase, as well as a 5'-nucleotidase. Activity of nonspecific ectophosphatases is absent. The nucleoside triphosphatase hydrolyzes almost equally well ATP, GTP, CTP, UTP, and ITP and is activated to a similar degree by Mg2+ or Ca2+. It has a high affinity for ATP (Km for ATP in the presence of Mg2+, 75 microM; in the presence of Ca2+, 66 microM). Maximal rates in the presence of Mg2+ and Ca2+ were very similar (34.8 and 32.5 nmol of Pi/min/mg of synaptosomal protein, respectively). Either Mg-ATP or Ca-ATP can act as a true substrate. ADP inhibits hydrolysis of ATP, but AMP is without effect. The nucleoside triphosphatase is not inhibited significantly by a number of inhibitors of mitochondrial Mg2+-ATPase or of Ca2+ + Mg2+-ATPases. It is, however, considerably inhibited by filipin and quercitin. The capacity of intact synaptosomes to hydrolyze also extracellular ADP, GDP, AMP, GMP, and IMP suggests that the nucleoside triphosphatase is part of an enzyme chain that causes complete hydrolysis of the respective nucleoside triphosphate to the nucleoside. We conclude that the cholinergic nerve terminals of the Torpedo electric organ can hydrolyze ATP released on coexocytosis with acetylcholine via an ectonucleoside triphosphatase activity that is different from known endogenous nerve terminal ATPases. The final product of the hydrolysis, adenosine, can then be salvaged by the nerve terminal for resynthesis of ATP. Other possible physiological functions of the ectonucleotidases are discussed.

The rate of hydrolysis of IMP (0.5 mM) by cytosol 5'-nucleotidase from Artemia embryos was increased up to 7-fold by concentrations of around 10 microM diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap4A). Half maximal activation of the enzyme was accomplished with 5 microM Ap4A. The Km (S 0.5) values of the nucleotidase for IMP, GMP, AMP, XMP and CMP decreased about 10 fold in the presence of 10 microM Ap4A. Maximum velocity of the enzyme was not affected by Ap4A. ATP had been previously described as an activator of the enzyme. However, comparatively with Ap4A, concentrations of ATP two orders of magnitude higher are needed to elicit similar effects on the enzyme. Preliminary results indicate that Ap4A is also an activator of the cytosol 5'-nucleotidase from rat liver.

A 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) was highly purified from the soluble fraction of rat heart. The preparation appeared homogeneous by the criterion of polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was activated by ATP and ADP, and inhibited by Pi. When AMP was used as substrate, the velocity/substrate-concentration plot was sigmoidal. ATP or ADP changed the plot to hyperbolic and decreased S0.5. Pi increased both the sigmoidicity of the plot and S0.5. When IMP was used as substrate, the velocity/substrate plot was hyperbolic. ATP or ADP decreased Km and increased V. Pi changed the plot to sigmoidal and increased S0.5. Within the range of adenylate energy charge observed in surviving mammalian cells (0.7-0.9), the rate of AMP-hydrolysing activity catalysed by the 5'-nucleotidase increased sharply with decreasing energy charge. The highest activity was observed at an energy-charge value of about 0.6. The response was also observed in the presence of Pi. No change in IMP-hydrolysing activity was observed in the physiological range of adenylate energy charge, but in the presence of Pi the activity gradually increased with increasing energy charge. These results suggest the possibility that this enzyme participates in production of adenosine, a vasodilator, during hypoxia and in removal of IMP, which accumulates during the hypoxia, in the heart.

5'-Nucleotidase which was found first in chicken liver and found to be located in cytosol was purified and characterized. This enzyme is termed cytosol 5'-nucleotidase for convenience. Some properties of this enzyme are summarized in Table 7. (Table: see text) The specific activity of cytosol 5'-nucleotidase in chicken liver cytosol is higher than that in rat liver cytosol. In response to a high protein diet the activity of cytosol 5'-nucleotidase in chicken liver increased, concurrently with those of purine nucleoside phosphorylase and xanthine dehydrogenase. Of the three enzymes, the activity of cytosol 5'-nucleotidase reached a maximum most rapidly. In rat liver, the activities of these three enzymes did not increase on administration of a high protein diet. From these results the principal physiological function of the cytosol 5'-nucleotidase is assumed to be dephosphorylation of IMP as the first step in the pathway of uric acid formation from IMP, which is important in the elimination of nitrogen of amino acids and proteins in a uricotelic animal. An allosteric property of this enzyme is considered to be important for control of adenine and guanine nucleotide pools, especially in connection with the biosynthetic activity of the purine nucleotides in uricotelic animals.

Activities of adenylate-degrading enzymes in muscles of vertebrates and invertebrates were determined. Mammalian and fish muscles showed a markedly higher activity of AMP deaminase with a lower level of adenosine deaminase and 5'-nucleotidase. Cephalopods showed an active adenosine deaminase and a 5'-nucleotidase which preferred AMP as the substrate. Negligible deamination of AMP and adenosine and little phosphohydrolase activity toward AMP and IMP were observed in the shellfish muscles. Adenine nucleotides can be degraded to form IMP via the AMP deaminase reaction in vertebrate muscles, while dephosphorylation of AMP to adenosine, which is then converted to inosine, appears to proceed in cephalopods. Adenylates can be hardly degraded in shellfish muscles.

Cytosol 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) has been purified near homogeneity from Artemia embryos. The enzyme cleaves preferentially IMP and GMP, and to a lesser extent other 5'-mononucleotides. The substrate-velocity plot was hyperbolic with GMP and sigmoidal with AMP. The hydrolysis of GMP is stimulated both by ATP and beta, gamma-methyleneadenosine 5'-triphosphate with the same activation constant of around 0.6 mM. Both nucleotides decreased S0.5 without affecting V. The molecular mass of the native purified enzyme was 165 kDa, and one major band of 42 kDa was detected after sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
