After the repeated injection of sea urchin sperm guanylate cyclase into rabbits, antibodies to the enzyme were formed. These antibodies inhibited the particulate or the Triton-dispersed forms of the sperm enzyme by greater than 97%. The sperm adenylate cyclase, cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase, adenosine triphosphatase, guanosine triphosphatase, and 5'-nucleotidase enzymes were not affected by the antiserum. The antiserum inhibited the Triton-dispersed guanylate cyclase from rat heart, liver, lung, spleen, and kidney but did not inhibit the soluble form of the enzyme from any of these tissues. The inhibition of the Triton-dispersed enzyme in these tissues was partial, however, ranging from 30% (liver) to 70% (heart). These results provide evidence that adenylate cyclase is antigenically different from guanylate cyclase, and that the soluble form of guanylate cyclase is antigenically different from a particulate form of the enzyme in various rat tissues.

The histochemical distribution of 14 enzymes in the human amnion at term are described. Adenosine triphosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, acid phosphatase and nonspecific esterase show continuous gradations of enzyme activity. Cells with intense activity are prominent in acid phosphatase and nonspecific esterase preparations. A distinct subpopulation of amniotic cells can be defined by their alkaline phosphatase activity. The possible correlations with morphological studies are discussed.

Cardiac tissue obtained by left-ventricular endomyocardial biopsy from patients with valvular heart-disease was assayed for marker enzyme activities of subcellular organelles and these were correlated with left ventricular function as assessed by haemodynamic studies. In patients with poor left ventricular function, calcium-dependent adenosine-triphosphatase (A.T.P.ase) activity, predominantly localised to the myofibrils, was strikingly reduced. Activity of lactate dehydrongenase, a cytosol enzyme, was significantly increased in tissue from patients with poor left ventricular function. The activity of enzymes associated with sarcolemma (5'-nucleotidase), mitochondria (glutamate dehydrogenase and monoamine oxidase), microsomes (neutral alpha-glucosidase), and lysosomes (acid phosphatase, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase) was no different in patients with good or poor left ventricular function. It is suggested that reduced myofibrillary A.T.P.ase concentration is the biochemical basis for the impaired ventricular function.

Three parts were distinguished by electron microscopy and by enzyme histochemistry at the boundary zone between the white and red pulp of the human spleen. The first was the inner layer of the perifollicular region, composed of medium-sized lymphocytes with abundant free ribosomes in their cytoplasm. A small number of reticulum cells intervened among these lymphocytes. This inner layer was considered to correspond to the "Follikelaussenzone" (Strasser). The second was the outer layer of the perifollicular region, composed of a meshwork of reticulum cells with reticular fibers, and sheathed and non-sheathed arteries. Small and medium-sized lymphocytes, granulocytes, erythrocytes, platelets, and a small number of plasma cells were observed in the mesh spaces. This outer layer was considered to correspond to the "marginal zone" (Snook). At the outermost part of this layer, the venous sinus appeared. There was no distinct border between this layer and the red pulp. The third was the neighboring region of the periarterial lymphoid sheath, showeing similar structure and cellular components to the outer layer of the perifollicular region. It was characteristic feature for the lymphocytes and some of the reticulum cells of this region to have a strong activity for alkaline phosphatase reaction, while the lymphocytes of the outer layer showed only a weak activity. Adenosine triphosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase activities were demonstrated on the lymphocytes of these three parts of the boundary zone as well as the lymph follicle. Different activities for these enzyme reactions may indicate the functional properties of the B-cell system.

The present study deals with the distribution of adenosine triphosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase in the various constituents of thoracic ganglia and associated nerve of Periplaneta americana. The localization of both the enzymes in the thoracic ganglia is identical. The neural lamella is devoid of any activity for both the enzymes. The ganglion cells are intensely positive at their borders. The neuronal cell surface and/or glial cell processes which envelope the neurons show intense activity for these enzymes. Adenosine triphosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase are present around "giant fibres" and small axons. The activity appears to confine itself in the sheaths. The cytoplasm and the nuclei of the neurons are devoid of enzymatic activity, whereas the nucleoli are slightly active. The nerves are positive for both the enzymes. The role of these enzymes at different sites has also been discussed.

A rat liver nuclear envelope fraction isolated essentially by the technique of Monneron et al. (J. Cell Biol. 55, 104-125 (1972) is characterized by high levels of glucose-6-phosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase. A broadly specific nucleoside triphosphatase activity is present. Cytochromes b5 and P-450 as well as NADPH- and NADH-cytochrome c reductase activities are present but at lower levels than found in microsomes. Cytochrome c oxidase activity is low. RNA polymerase activity is absent from the nuclear envelope fraction. Cytochemistry shows that glucose-6-phosphatase activity is strong and restricted to the nuclear envelope of nuclei. 5'-Nucleotidase shows weak reaction deposit in whole nuclei but in contrast gives clear reaction deposit in isolated nuclear envelopes. Cytochemical reaction deposit due to nucleoside triphosphatase activity is not restricted to the nuclear envelope but is found to a larger extent within the nucleus.

Two enzymatic activities that split diadenosine triphosphate have been reported in Escherichia coli: a specific Mg-dependent bis(5'-adenosyl) triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.29) and the bis(5'-adenosyl) tetraphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.41). In addition to the activities of these two enzymes, a different enzyme activity that hydrolyzes dinucleoside polyphosphates is described. After purification and study of its molecular and kinetic properties, we concluded that it corresponded to the 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) that has been described in E. coli. The enzyme was purified from sonic extracts and osmotic shock fluid. From sonic extracts, two isoforms were isolated by chromatography on ion-exchange Mono Q columns; they had a molecular mass of about 100 kilodaltons (kDa). From the osmotic shock fluid, a unique form of 52 kDa was recovered. Mild heating transformed the 100-kDa isoform to a 52-kDa form, with an increase in activity of about threefold. The existence of a 5'-nucleotidase inhibitor described previously, which associates with the enzyme and is not liberated in the osmotic shock fluid, may have been responsible for these results. The kinetic properties and substrate specificities of both forms (52 and 100 kDa) were almost identical. The enzyme, which is known to hydrolyze AMP and uridine-(5')-diphospho-(1)-alpha-D-glucose, but not adenosine-(5')-diphospho-(1)-alpha-D-glucose, was also able to split adenosine-(5')-diphospho-(5)-beta-D-ribose, ribose-5-phosphate, and dinucleoside polyphosphates [diadenosine 5',5'''-P1,P2-diphosphate,diadenosine 5',5'''-P1,P3-triphosphate, diadenosine 5',5'''-P1,P4-tetraphosphate, and bis(5'-guanosyl) triphosphate]. The effects of divalent cations and pH on the rate of the reaction with different substrates were studied.

Ultrastructural localization of nucleozidphosphatases (5'-nucleotidase, adenosin triphosphatase (ATPase) and beta-glicerophosphatase) in antral follicles of the guinea-pig ovary has been studied. Certain heterogeneity has been found in distribution of the enzymes: the cells in the follicular tunic possess the greatest 5'-nucleotidase and ATPase activity. When 5'-adenosin monophosphate (5'-AMP) is used as a substrate, the lead phosphate residue is mainly revealed in the external surface of plasmolemma and as "caps" in the margical zone of nucleoplasm. ATPase activity is chiefly observed in nucleoli of granular cells and in those of the external follicular tunic cells. Histochemical reaction with 5'-AMP proceeds most intensively in the lucid tunic and in processes of the granular cells contacting with the oocyte. A possibility is discussed on participation of the metabolic enzymes, that localize in these structures, in the mechanisms controlling the oocyte maturation.

Purified brush border membrane of Cotugnia digonopora showed the presence of a number of phosphohydrolases. Among these, alkaline phosphatase was extremely active. Other enzymes such as glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, cAMP-phosphodiesterase, 5'-nucleotidase and adenosine-triphosphatase were also active. Observations were made on the activities of various ATPases; whereas the enzyme was activated by Ca++ and Mg++ in an additive manner, its sensitivity to ouabain was negligible. Furthermore, in the presence of EDTA the enzyme activity was quite significant. The treatment of isolated brush border membrane with mebendazole, niclosamide and praziquantel in vitro did not alter the activity of these enzymes. However, treatment of intact worms drastically affected the integrity of the membrane.

We compared the properties of the ectonucleotidases (nucleoside triphosphatase, EC 3.6.1.15; nucleoside diphosphatase, EC 3.6.1.6; 5'-nucleotidase, EC 3.1.3.5) in intact pig aortic smooth-muscle cells in culture with the properties that we previously investigated for ectonucleotidases of aortic endothelial cells [Cusack, Pearson & Gordon (1983) Biochem. J. 214, 975-981]. In experiments with nucleotide phosphorothioate diastereoisomers, stereoselective catabolism of adenosine 5'-[beta-thio]triphosphate, but not of adenosine 5'-[alpha-thio]triphosphate, by the triphosphatase and stereoselective catabolism of adenosine 5'-[alpha-thio]diphosphate by the diphosphatase were found, as occurs in endothelial cells. In contrast with endothelial ecto-5'-nucleotidase, the smooth-muscle-cell enzyme catabolized adenosine 5'-monophosphorothioate (AMPS) to adenosine: the affinity of the enzyme for AMPS was greater than for AMP, and Vmax for AMPS was about one-sixth that for AMP. In both cell types AMPS was an apparently competitive inhibitor of AMP catabolism by 5'-nucleotidase. The relative rates of catabolism of nucleotide enantiomers in which the natural D-ribofuranosyl moiety is replaced by an L-ribofuranosyl moiety were similar to those in endothelial cells. No ectopyrophosphatase activity was detected in smooth-muscle cells, in contrast with endothelial cells, where modest activity is present.
