The pathways of adenine nucleotide catabolism were investigated in cultured beating cardiomyocytes. The activity of the enzymes involved in AMP degradation was assayed in cell extracts. Fluxes of label from ATP to the various purine derivatives were measured in intact cells. Under physiological conditions, cells degraded AMP through deamination to IMP. IMP was rapidly degraded to inosine, hypoxanthine, xanthine and uric acid, which were effluxed from the cells. This is in accord with the fact that the activity of AMP deaminase (EC 3.5.4.6) was 7-fold that of AMP 5'-Nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5). Mild ATP-degradation, induced by inhibition of glycolysis by iodoacetate, caused no alterations in the degradation pathways (more than 85% through deamination to IMP). However, fast ATP-degradation (83% of adenine nucleotides/10 min), induced by simultaneous inhibition of glycolysis and electron transport (by antimycin A), caused increased dephosphorylation of AMP to adenosine (50% of total AMP-degradation). The cardiomyocyte extracts were found to contain a significant activity of purine nucleoside phosphorylase (EC 2.4.2.1). Despite the presence of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.8), salvage of hypoxanthine to IMP, both at physiological as well as at conditions associated with ATP degradation, was slow. The salvage of adenosine appeared to be efficient at physiological conditions, but not at fast rates of ATP degradation.

1. AMP catabolism in frog liver extract was found to proceed exclusively through the formation of IMP. Further metabolism of IMP is relatively slow. 2. Among the enzymes involved in AMP catabolism, AMP deaminase is most active and adenosine deaminase and AMP 5'-nucleotidase exhibit only 20 and 10% of AMP deaminase activity respectively.

1. 5'-Nucleotidase activity was obtained in a soluble form after treatment of a particulate fraction from Ehrlich ascites-tumour cells with deoxycholate. The relative rates of hydrolysis of 6-thioinosine 5'-phosphate, UMP, AMP, CMP, GMP, IMP, xanthosine monophosphate, thymidine monophosphate and 2',3'-AMP were 180, 129, 100, 93, 83, 79, 46, 41 and 3 respectively. 2. Values found for the Michaelis constant were: AMP, 67+/-12mum; IMP, 111+/-8mum; GMP, 93mum. 3. ATP and thymidine triphosphate were competitive inhibitors of AMP hydrolysis (inhibitor constants 0.4 and 4.8mum respectively); UTP, GTP and CTP were mixed competitive and non-competitive inhibitors. Thymidine triphosphate was a competitive inhibitor of IMP hydrolysis (inhibitor constant 14.4mum) and ATP, UTP and GTP showed mixed competitive and non-competitive inhibition. 4. ATP, thymidine triphosphate, UTP, GTP and CTP did not completely inhibit hydrolysis of AMP, IMP and UMP; the concentrations of ATP required to inhibit AMP and IMP hydrolysis by 50% were 12 and 230mum respectively. 5. Non-hyperbolic curves relating activity to UMP concentration were obtained in the presence and absence of triphosphates. 6. After fractionation on Sephadex G-200 columns a single peak of 5'-nucleotidase activity (particle weight 120000-125000) was obtained with AMP, IMP and GMP as substrates. UMP hydrolysis was catalysed by enzyme in this peak and in two slower peaks corresponding to apparent particle weights of 32000 and 16000; a single component (particle weight 120000), reacting with UMP and insensitive to UTP inhibition, was obtained when the column was eluted with buffer containing 1mm-UMP. 7. The possible significance of the results in the regulation of tumour-cell 5'-nucleotidase is discussed.

The data are presented on kinetics of histochemical enzymatic reactions demonstrating two enzymes taking part in the purine metabolism--inosine-5-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPD) and 5'-nucleotidase (5'-NT). It is shown that IMPD has a very weak affinity to substrate IMP (KM = 2.5 . 10(-2) M); this fact partially explains the low rate course in cryostat sections. Cytosol and membrane forms of 5'-NT have the maximum affinity to AMP (KM for membrane and cytosol forms being 1 . 10(-3) M and 2.1 . 10(-3) M, resp.). When IMP is used as a substrate, 5'-NT localized in cytosol has much lower KM as compared to the membrane form. Cytoplasmic 5'-NT is thermostable. It is suggested that a low rate of histochemical reaction demonstrating IMPD is caused by a degradation of substrate by the membrane form of 5'-NT, the Michaelis constant of which is 5 times less than that of IMPD.

1. The role of adenosine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.4), ecto-(5'-nucleotidase) (EC 3.1.3.5) and ecto-(non-specific phosphatase) in the CN-induced catabolism of adenine nucleotides in intact rat polymorphonuclear leucocytes was investigated by inhibiting the enzymes in situ. 2. KCN (10mM for 90 min) induced a 20-30% fall in ATP concentration accompanied by an approximately equimolar increase in hypoxanthine, ADP, AMP and adenosine concentrations were unchanged, and IMP and inosine remained undetectable ( less than 0.05 nmol/10(7) cells). 3. Cells remained 98% intact, as judged by loss of the cytoplasmic enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27). 4. Pentostatin (30 microM), a specific inhibitor of adenosine deaminase, completely inhibited hypoxanthine production from exogenous adenosine (55 microM), but did not black CN-induced hypoxanthine production or cause adenosine accumulation in intact cells. This implied that IMP rather than adenosine was an intermediate in AMP breakdown in response to cyanide. 5. Antibodies raised against purified plasma-membrane 5'-nucleotidase inhibited the ecto-(5'-nucleotidase) by 95-98%. Non-specific phosphatases were blocked by 10 mM-sodium beta-glycerophosphate. 6. These two agents together blocked hypoxanthine production from exogenous AMP and IMP (200 microM) by more than 90%, but had no effect on production from endogenous substrates. 7. These data suggest that ectophosphatases do not participate in CN-induced catabolism of intracellular AMP in rat polymorphonuclear leucocytes. 8. A minor IMPase, not inhibited by antiserum, was detected in the soluble fraction of disrupted cells.

AMP-degrading pathways in Azotobacter vinelandii cells were investigated. AMP nucleosidase (EC 3.2.2.4) was rapidly synthesized and reached a maximum at 24 h, while the activity of 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) specific for AMP, which was negligible during the logarithmic phase of the growth, first appeared in 24 h-cultures, and reached a maximum after complete exhaustion of sucrose from the growth medium (70 h). Cell-free extracts of A. vinelandii of 48 h-cultures hydrolyzed AMP to ribose 5-phosphate and adenine in the presence of ATP, and adenine was deaminated to hypoxanthine. When ATP was excluded, AMP was dephosphorylated to adenosine, which was further metabolized to inosine, and finally to hypoxanthine. Hypoxanthine thus formed was reutilized for the salvage synthesis of IMP under the conditions where 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate was able to be supplied. These results suggest that the levels of ATP can determine the rate of AMP degradation by the AMP nucleosidase- and 5-'nucleotidase-pathways. The role of ATP in the AMP degradation was discussed in relation to the regulatory properties of AMP nucleosidase, inosine nucleosidase (EC. 3.2.2.2) and adenosine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.4).

A 5'-nucleotidase (5'-ribonucleotide phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.5) was highly purified from rat liver. The preparation appeared homogeneous on the criteria of disc-gel electrophoresis. A pH optimum at about 6.5 was observed for all substrates tested. The activity of this enzyme was absolutely dependent on the presence of various bivalent metal salts. The highest V value was attained with MgCl2 and the concentration at half-enzyme saturation was lowest with MnCl2. The enzyme had markedly higher affinities for IMP, dIMP, GMP and dGMP than the other 5'-mononucleotides, although V values for all the substrates tested were in the same order of magnitude. The activity of this enzyme was stimulated by various alkali metal salts, some carboxylic acids and adenine nucleotides. When AMP was used as substrate, the substrate-velocity plot was sigmoidal and NaCl, Tris-maleate and ATP stimulated the enzyme by decreasing the sigmoidicity of the plot. When IMP was used as substrate, the substrate-velocity plot was hyperbolic and these three activators stimulated the enzyme by increasing the V and decreasing the Km value. Some of these results provided consistent evidence for the identity of this enzyme and the cytosol 5'-nucleotidase, the presence of which had been reported in crude preparations from rat liver.

In the physiological range of the adenylate energy charge in liver (0.7-0.9), th rate of AMP-hydrolysis catalysed by rat liver cytosol 5'-nucleotidase (5'-ribonucleotide phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.5) increased sharply with decreasing energy charge. In addition, a decrease in the concentration of Pi caused marked acceleration of the AMP-hydrolysing activity over the physiological range of adenylate energy charge. These responses seem to serve to protect the cells against a metabolic stress which could result from sudden utilization of ATP by removal of AMP. The AMP-hydrolysing activity of this enzyme decreased sharply as the size of the adenine nucleotide pool decreased in the physiological range. This effect may be a self-limiting response to prevent excess depletion of the pool. IMP-hydrolysing activity of this enzyme increased with increasing adenylate energy charge. But no marked response to its variation within the physiological range was observed. On the basis of the data obtained in this study, the IMP-hydrolysing activity of the cytosol 5'-nucleotidase in rat liver cells seems to be comparable to that of AMP deaminase reaction, but the AMP-hydrolysing activity was estimated to be less than 10% of AMP deaminase reaction at energy charge value of about 0.7. This strongly suggests that the AMP leads to IMP leads to inosine pathway is more significant that the AMP leads to adenosine leads to inosine pathway in rat liver.

A previously unknown 5'nucleotidase (5'-ribonucleotide phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.5) (5'-Nase) specific for orotidine 5'-monophosphate (OMP) hs been discovered. This enzyme orotidine 5'-monophosphate phosphohydrolase (OMPase), was isolated from mouse liver microsomes as a separate entity from the nonspecific 5'-Nase. OMPase was partially purified and is shown to cleave OMP to orotidine and inorganic phosphate. The enzyme has negligible activity towards UMP, CMP, dTMP, AMP, IMP, GMP, XMP, 6-azauridine 5'-monophosphate, 1-beta-D-ribofuranosylbarbituric acid 5'-monophosphate (BMF), 2'-UMP, 3'-UMP, 2'-AMP, 3'-AMP, ribose 5-phosphate and beta-glycerophosphate, all of which--with the exception of the 2' or 3' monophosphates, ribose 5'-phosphate, and beta-glycerophosphate--are substrates for 5'-Nase. Both enzymes are inhibited by NaF, but only OMPase is inhibited by SF reagents. OMPase is not inhibited by orotidine, orotate, BMP, concanavalin A, or tetramisole (an alkaline phosphatase inhibitor). OMPase had a Mr 53,000, Km value of 1 mM for OMP, and Vmax value of 49 nmol/min . mg of protein at the present stage of purification. OMPase activity has also been detected in various mammalian tissues including normal human tissues, human tumor xenografts, lymphocytes, and rat liver. OMPase may be responsible, in part, for the low levels of intracellular "free" OMP and for orotidine accumulation in cells treated with 6-azauridine and patients suffering from aortic aciduria.

The inhibition of the cytoplasmic 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) by its product, inosine, was studied with a partially purified preparation of the enzyme from rat liver. Inhibition of Pi production was found to be due to exchange of the inosine moiety between inosine and IMP. Exchange was not catalysed by reversal of the hydrolytic reaction, suggesting, instead, the mediation of an enzyme-phosphate intermediate. Two models for the catalytic mechanism are proposed and rate equations for the dependence of Pi production on inosine concentration are derived. The experimentally determined dependence was consistent with a mechanism in which hydrolysis of the enzyme-phosphate intermediate occurred only when it was unoccupied by inosine. This conclusion suggests that inosine analogues that cannot participate in exchange should inhibit the enzyme. Such inhibitors might be useful in defining the enzyme's physiological role or as pharmacological agents to decrease breakdown of purine nucleotides. The possibility that nucleoside exchange provides an alternative route for the phosphorylation of mutagenic or cytotoxic nucleoside analogues should also be considered.
