Several enzymes associated with the hepatocyte cell surface, alkaline phosphatase (AP), 5'-nucleotidase (5'N), Mg++- and total Na+K+Mg++-ATpase, were assayed and localized cytochemically in order to gain insight into alterations of the plasma membrane components during reassociation of hepatocytes in primary monolayer culture. During a period of 4 days the activities of 5'nucleotidase and alkaline phosphatase increased spontaneously up to three- and four-fold, respectively. Dexamethasone reinforce the rise of alkaline phosphatase activity but retarded the increase of that of 5'nucleotidase. However, after the third day the level of 5'nucleotidase activity converged with the untreated controls. The activities of Mg++- and Na+K+Mg++-ATPase, which closely paralleled each other, remained essentially unchanged throughout cultivation and were not affected by dexamethasone. Cytochemical demonstration of alkaline phosphatase, 5'nucleotidase and Mg++-ATPase, using the lead salt method, revealed the potential presence of reaction product on the whole cell surface. However, the cells did not react uniformly, particularly on bile canalicular membranes. This heterogeneity seems to be due to different stages of canalicular development and to different functional states of the cultured hepatocytes.

5'-Nucleotidase (5'-ribonucleotide phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.5) of bovine milk fat globules can be solubilized by deoxycholate from either isolated globule membranes or washed cream. The solubilized and membrane-bound enzymes exhibit similar Km values and are inhibited by concanavalin A by an apparent noncompetitive process. The soluble enzyme shows positive cooperativity for the inhibition (Hill coefficient of 2) at 37 degrees C, but the membrane enzyme exhibits essentially no cooperation effect. At lower temperatures (5 or 20 degrees C) the cooperative effect in the inhibition of the soluble enzyme is lost. Colchicine and cytochalasin D failed to induce cooperativity of the concanavalin A inhibition of the membrane enzyme, but induction cooperativity occurred when membranes were extracted with glycine/EDTA/mercaptoethanol, releasing a major protein component with a polypeptide molecular weight of 155 000. We suggest that the interaction of this component with the membrane imposes restraints on the behavior of the nucleotidase which are reflected in the cooperativity of the inhibition of the enzyme by concanavalin A.

The lipid composition and fluidity of plasma membranes have been studied at different stages of liver regeneration (4, 15 and 24 h after surgery). The phospholipid and fatty acid composition is not modified, whereas the cholesterol/phospholipid ratio is lower with respect to control membranes. The modification of the physical properties of the membranes has been studied directly by EPR analysis and indirectly by temperature dependence and cooperativity of some membrane-bound enzymes (Mg2+-ATPase, (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and 5'nucleotidase). Surgical operation or anaesthesia alone causes an early increase in fluidity; such an effect appears to be markedly reduced at a later stage. There seems to be a marked effect of regeneration on plasma membrane fluidity 15 h after partial hepatectomy when several parameters--surface fluidity, cholesterol/phospholipid ratio, and 5'-nucleotidase activity in the presence of concanavalin A -- are modified and indicate an increase in membrane fluidity. It is suggested that this modification of membrane properties could be related to the proliferative process.

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 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 5'-nucleotidase located in the cytoplasmic fraction of bovine brain cortex was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. The molecular weight was 134,000 daltons in the presence of sodium deoxycholate, whereas the enzyme formed high molecular weight aggregates in the absence of detergent. The purified enzyme showed the same kinetic and electrophoretic behaviour as the enzyme present in the original cytoplasmic fraction, and the presence of surfactants did not change the Km and Vm values. The nucleotidase from this source was a phosphohydrolase of 5'-mononucleotides acting on the deoxyribonucleotides and ribonucleotides of purines and pyrimidines. 5'-IMP was the preferred substrate; the optimum pH was 7.5. The study of the influence of the temperature on the initial reaction rates allowed calculation of the delta Ea and delta H degrees values. The variation of Vm and Km with a change in pH suggests the existence of a sulfhydryl group and an imidazole group in the enzyme-substrate complex.

The contribution of plasma membrane 5'-nucleotidase (E.C. 3.1.3.5) to intracellular purine degradation and release was evaluated in cultured human lymphoblasts. B-lymphoblasts and T-lymphoblasts are characterized by high and low levels of plasma membrane 5'-nucleotidase activity, respectively. After radiolabeling of the cellular adenine nucleotide pools with [8-14C]adenine, deoxyglucose-induced purine nucleotide degradation resulted in a 2-2.5 times greater release of cellular radioactivity from the B-lymphoblasts than from the T-lymphoblasts. Specific inhibition of plasma membrane 5'-nucleotidase with 50 microM alpha, beta-methylene adenosine diphosphate (AMPCP) did not decrease purine release during deoxyglucose-induced nucleotide degradation. Similarly, the inhibition of B-lymphoblast membrane 5-nucleotidase did not alter the incorporation of [8-14C]adenine into the nucleotide pool. Therefore, to explain the relatively high release of purine nucleotide degradation products in B-lymphoblasts when compared with T-lymphoblasts, cytoplasmic 5'-nucleotidase activity was investigated in these cell lines. B-lymphoblasts have seven times more cytoplasmic 5'-nucleotidase activity for dAMP and two to three times more activity for other purine nucleoside 5'-monophosphates than do T-lymphoblasts at pH 7.4. Membrane and cytoplasmic nucleotidase activities are produced by different enzymes that can be distinguished by differences in pH optima, Michaelis constants for purine substrates, divalent cation requirements, and susceptibilities to AMPCP inhibition. The data suggest that plasma membrane 5'-nucleotidase hydrolyzes extracellular nucleoside 5'-monophosphates only. Cytoplasmic 5'-nucleotidase most likely regulates the degradation of intracellular nucleoside 5'-monophosphates and may be responsible for the increased purine release observed in B-lymphoblasts.

The interaction of 5'-deoxy-5'-thioadenosine 5'-monophosphate (A(S)MP) and 5'-deoxy-5'-thioinosine 5'-monophosphate (I(S)MP) with snake venom, 5'nucleotidase, and calf intestinal mucosa alkaline phosphatase has been characterized. The substrates, A(S)MP and I(S)MP, are analogs of adenosine 5'-monophosphate and inosine 5'-monophosphate in which sulfur replaces oxygen as the bridge between the 5'-carbon of the ribose and the phosphorous. The P-S bond of both A(S)MP and I(S)MP was hydrolyzed by alkaline phosphatase producing the corresponding thionucleoside as a reaction product. The Km for A(S)MP was 270 microM and the V for alkaline phosphatase was 110 nmol/min/mg (8% of the V for AMP), whereas the corresponding values for I(S)MP were 300 microM and 530 nmol/min/mg protein, respectively. In contrast, 5'-nucleotidase did not catalyze hydrolysis of either A(S)MP or I(S)MP. A(S)MP and I(S)MP were competitive inhibitors of the 5'-nucleotidase hydrolysis of AMP and IMP, respectively, with Ki values of 975 and 13 microM. Decreasing the pH of the reaction from 8.1 to 7.1 lowered the Ki for I(S)MP by 100-fold, to a value of 0.15 microM.

The 5'-nucleotidase activity of the purified cytoplasmic fraction preparation of bovine brain does not depend on the presence of the divalent metal ions Mg2+, Ca2+, and Cu2+ in the incubation medium. The Zn2+ ion (0.5 mM) causes total enzyme inhibition. Although EDTA and 8-hydroxyquinoline inhibit the 5'-nucleotidase from this source, it has not been possible to show the existence of metal ions in the enzyme molecule. The inhibition of 5'nucleotidase by EDTA is progressive and irreversible; when the enzyme is not preincubated with EDTA, the inhibition is overridden by metal ions. The purines (except xanthine, 0.3 mM), pyrimidines, and their nucleosides do not affect the 5'-nucleotidase activity. The nucleoside di- and triphosphates are competitive enzyme inhibitors against 5'-AMP as substrate. The Ki values of the diphosphates are lower than those determined for the corresponding triphosphates. The inhibition caused by the above nucleotides is reversed, partly or wholly, by Mg2+, depending on the molar ratio between the effectors. The inhibitory action of the -SH group reagents on the 5'-nucleotidase activity is weak and reversible.

By means of DEAE-Sephadex A-50 column chromatography and gel filtrations on Sephadex G-75, Sephacryl S-300 and Sephadex G-100, successively, a potent 5'-nucleotidase was purified from Trimeresurus gramineus venom. The venom 5'-nucleotidase is a single polypeptide chain and homogeneous as judged by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It is a thermostable glycoprotein consisting of 589 amino acid residues. Its molecular weight was estimated to be 74,000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It possessed nucleotidase activities toward adenosine monophosphate and adenosine diphosphate. The specific activities toward AMP and ADP were 504 +/- 28 and 101 +/- 8 micrograms Pi/min per mg, respectively. Pre-incubation of this venom's 5'-nucleotidase with ADP resulted in the cleavage of ADP and formation of adenosine. The 5'-nucleotidase activity was inhibited by EDTA. Both Zn2+ and Co2+/- reversed the inhibitory effect of EDTA. In rabbit platelet-rich plasma, it inhibited completely the ADP (2 x 10(-5) g/ml)-induced platelet aggregation. It also inhibited the platelet aggregations induced by sodium arachidonate (100 microM), collagen (20 micrograms/ml) and ionophore A-23187 (5 microM)-induced platelet aggregations were not affected significantly by this venom 5'-nucleotidase. In ADP-refractory platelet-rich plasma, the venom 5'-nucleotidase inhibited the platelet aggregations induced by collagen (20 micrograms/ml) or sodium arachidonate (100 microM). The venom 5'-nucleotidase showed a more pronounced inhibitory effect on sodium arachidonate-induced platelet aggregation than creatine phosphate/creatine phosphokinase and apyrase did. No lactate dehydrogenase was released by this venom 5'-nucleotidase, indicating that no platelet lysis occurred. It is concluded that removal of ADP, which is released by these platelet aggregation inducers, and the subsequent accumulation of adenosine are responsible for the inhibitory effect of the venom 5'-nucleotidase on platelet aggregations.
