A pronounced effect of concanavalin A (Con A) upon activity of ecto-5'-nucleotidase of intact C6 glioma cells in culture has been demonstrated. A near linear rate of decrease in 5'-nucleotidase activity was observed upon treatment with concentrations of Con A up to 0.25 muM. Nonspecific phosphatase activity and Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity were not inhibited by Con A treatment of the cells. Of the total 5'-nucleotidase activity of C6 cells (Vmax = 5.0 mumol of Pi liberated/mg of cell protein/hour), approximately 20% still remained after treatment with high concentrations of Con A. The inhibitory effect of Con A operated to reduce substantially Vmax for ecto-5'-nucleotidase. Inhibition was reversed by briefly incubating the Con A-treated cells with alpha-methyl-D-glucoside, or alpha-methyl-D-mannoside, the later being more effective. These findings suggest that a relatively specific, reversible, inhibition of ecto-5'-nucleotidase results from Con A binding to the surface of the intact cultured mammalian cells.

1. The distributions of several enzymes and other marker components were examined after zonal centrifugations of whole homogenates from glucose-repressed Saccharomyces cerevisiae on sucrose and iso-osmotic Ficoll, and the composition and morphology of the fractions were investigated. 2. After high-speed zonal centrifugation most of the protein, acid and alkaline phosphatases, alkaline pyrophosphatase, adenosine monophosphatase, beta-fructofuranosidase, alpha-mannosidase, NADPH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and an appreciable amount of phospholipid and sterol were non-sedimentable, i.e. were at densities below 1.09 (g/cm3). Most of the RNA was at p=1.06-1.08 in Ficoll and at p=1.09-1.11 in sucrose. 3. The bulk of the Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Mg-ATPase) was coincident with the main peak of phospholipid and sterol, at median density 1.10, which was also rich in smooth-membrane vesicles. In Ficoll, a minor peak of phospholipid and sterol at p-1.12-1.15 contained a smaller part of the oligomycin-insensitive Mg-ATPase and heavy membrane fragments. In sucrose, several minor peaks of Mg-ATPase were in the mitochondrial density range, and a peak of oligomycin-insensitive Mg-ATPase coincident with a minor peak of phospholipid and sterol at around p-1.25 contained heavy membrane fragments of high carbohydrate content, especially mannose. 4. Further purification of the oligomycin-insensitive Mg-ATPase containing membrane preparations was performed on Urografin gradients. 5. It is argued that the oligomycin-insensitive Mg-ATPase containing membranes are fragments of the plasma membrane, but have different densities because they contain different amounts of glycoprotein particles.

In rats changes in plasma membrane enzyme activities due to Gal-N intoxication were studied by enzymehistochemical methods. The bile canalicular 5'-nucleotidase and nucleoside polyphosphatase activities decreased; the sinusoidal 5'-nucleotidase remained unchanged. The bile canalicular leucyl-beta-naphthyl-amidase showed an increase in activity; the alkaline phosphatase activity remained unchanged. In contrast to the spotty necrosis, changes in plasma membrane enzyme activities were seen in all liver cells, suggesting that changes of these activities, occurring after Gal-N treatment, do not correlate with cell death. The conclusion was drawn that the deviations of the enzyme activities might be due to changes in the lipid environment of the enzyme proteins in the membrane. With the exception of alkaline phosphatase, partial hepatectomy caused the same changes in enzyme activities as did Gal-N intoxication. Nevertheless Gal-N administration to partial hepatectomized rats did not lead to hepatic necrosis. Galactose given simultaneously or within two hours after Gal-N prevented both changes in plasma membrane enzyme activities and hepatocellular damage. This suggests an important role of galactolipids and galactoproteins in the plasma membrane alterations.

From a homogenate of rabbit colon muscle subcellular fractions were isolated by differential centrifugation. The crude microsomal fraction could be separated into subfractions, a fraction of vesicular microsomes at 35% sucrose, a fraction containing sarcolemma, mitochondrial fragments and microsomal vesicles at 35--45% sucrose and a small protein fraction at 45--55% sucrose. Their biochemical properties and their morphological characterization were investigated. The cholesterol and the phospholipid content was equally distributed between the microsomal fractions 35% and 35--45% while the RNA was localized to the mitochondria and the microsomal fraction 35%. The enzyme cytochrome c oxidase was found to be concentrated in the mitochondria while a high contamination was found in the microsomal fractions 35--45%. The NADH-oxidase activity was highest in the 35% fraction and the 5'-nucleotidase activity in the 40,000 X g supernatant. The microsomal subfractions contained the enzymes ATPase, adenylate cyclase and phosphodiesterase. In the 35% fraction Ca stimulated the hydrolysis of ATP. The binding of [3H]-ouabain and the incorporation of [3H]-leucine was most pronounced in the 35% fraction. In a K+-free Krebs Ringer medium the binding of the glucoside was stimulated in all the fractions. From these results we concluded that the fraction 35% sucrose may be mainly derived from the endoplasmic reticulum and the plasma membrane while the 35--45% originates from the plasma membrane, mitochondria and to a lesser extent the endoplasmic reticulum.

The interaction of glycoproteins of rough and smooth microsomal and Golgi membranes with Sepharose-bound lectins has been studied. One of these lectins was a crude preparation from wheat germ lipase which was found to bind primarily to N-acetyl neuraminic acid. Rough microsomes, smooth microsomes and Golgi membranes contain glycoproteins which bind to Concanavalin A (Con A specific for mannose residues) in decreasing amounts in the order indicated (rough, smooth and Golgi) and to wheat germ agglutinin (WGA, glucosamine-specific) and to the crude lipase preparation in increasing amounts in the order indicated. The small amount of binding of rough microsomes and Golgi membranes to Crotalaria (galactose-specific) increases substantially after neuraminidase treatment. Three submicrosomal particle preparations enriched either in AMPase or in NADH- or NADPH-oxidizing electron-transport enzymes contain glycoproteins which bind Con A and wheat germ agglutinin. The latter binding is sensitive to neuraminidase treatment. Two other submicrosomal particle preparations, both enriched in glucose-6-phosphatase activity, bind preferentially to WGA. This binding is, however, not sensitive to neuraminidase. Prolonged incubation with Ervilia lectin (mannose-specific) inhibits NADH-ferricyanide reductase activity, while the electron-transport chain involving cytochrome b5 is also inhibited by Crotalaria, indicating that both the flavoprotein and the cytochrome b5 are glycoproteins whose oligosaccharide chains have terminal mannose or galactose residues.

The diazonium salt of sulfanilic acid (DASA) can inactivate about 80% of the total 5'-nucleotidase of viable macrophages. The remaining 20% can be inactivated if the cells are first lysed in detergent, and presumably represents an intracellular pool of 5'-nucleotidase. The bulk of this pool may represent cytoplasmic vesicles derived from plasma membrane by endocytosis. This internal compartment is expanded up to threefold immediately after the cells have ingested a large latex load. This is consistent with previous observations on the internalization of 5'-nucleotidase in latex phagosomes. In latex-filled cells this intracellular pool of enzyme is inactivated over a few hours, and the cells then slowly increase their enzyme activity to nearly normal levels. However, 24 h after latex ingestion the metabolism of 5'-nucleotidase in these recovered cells is abnormal, as the rate of enzyme degradation is about twice the normal rate, and the DASA-insensitive enzyme pool in these cells is strikingly diminished. This may reflect effects of the accumulated indigestible particles on the fate of incoming pinocytic vesicles or on newly synthesized plasma membrane precursor. Another endocytic stimulus, concanavalin A, also reduces the total cell 5'-nucleotidase activity. This effect, which is time and temperature dependent, can be prevented by the competitive sugar alpha-methyl mannose. The concanavalin A inhibition can be reversed in the absence of new protein synthesis or in cells cultivated in serum-free conditions. It is not known whether the effect of concanavalin A on 5'-nucleotidase depends upon the interiorizaiton of plasma membrane or is strictly associated with events at the cell surface.

Galactosyltransferase and 5'-nucleotidase were assayed in the same reaction mixture, with ovalbumin as exogenous acceptor of (14-C)galactose and with (3-H)AMP as the substrate for the 5'-nucleotidase assay. The substrates and reaction products of either assay had no significant effect on the activity of the other enzyme.

A cDNA was cloned coding for human placental 5'-nucleotidase. The 3547-bp cDNA contains an open reading frame that encodes a 574-residue polypeptide with calculated size of 63 375 Da. The NH2-terminal 26 residues comprise a signal peptide, which is followed by the NH2-terminal sequence of the purified protein. four potential N-linked glycosylation sites are found in the molecule, accounting for a larger mass of the mature form (71 kDa). The predicted structure contains a hydrophobic amino acid sequence at the COOH terminus, a possible signal for the post-translational modification by glycophospholipid. To confirm this possibility, we tried to isolate and characterize the membrane-anchoring domain of 5'-nucleotidase. BrCN-cleaved fragments of the protein were extracted with hexane and subjected to HPLC, resulting in purification of a single component of 2.3 kDa. Chemical analyses revealed that the purified fragment contains the tetradecapeptide Lys-Val-Ile-Tyr-Pro-Ala-Val-Glu-Gly-Arg-Ile-Lys-Phe-Ser, ethanolamine, glucosamine, mannose, inositol, palmitic acid, and stearic acid. The peptide sequence determined is identified at positions 510-523 in the primary structure deduced from the cDNA sequence, which predicts a further extension to position 548, containing the hydrophobic amino acid sequence. Thus, it is concluded that the mature 5'-nucleotidase lacks the predicted COOH-terminal peptide extension (524-548), which has been replaced by the glycophospholipid functioning as the membrane anchor of 5'-nucleotidase.

Glycosylation and carbohydrate processing of ecto-5'-nucleotidase were studied in cultured human chorionic cells using metabolic labelling and immunoprecipitation with monoclonal antibodies. Tunicamycin blocks glycosylation altogether leading to a reduction in molecular mass of 9,500 Da. The same result is obtained by digesting the mature 72,000-Da protein with endoglycosidase F. Using various inhibitors of the carbohydrate-trimming reactions like deoxynojirimycin, deoxymannojirimycin and swainsonine smaller molecular mass reductions are observed and the oligosaccharide side chains are kept in a configuration sensitive to endoglycosidase H digestion. Digestion of mature 5'-nucleotidase with endoglycosidase H leads to a much smaller (2,000 Da) reduction in molecular mass. It is calculated that, in addition to the phosphatidylinositol-glycan anchor structure, ecto-5'-nucleotidase of human chorionic cells should carry 4 oligosaccharide side chains per subunit, 3 of which should be of the complex and one of the high mannose type. Interference with carbohydrate processing by various inhibitors does not seem to influence the distribution of ecto-5'-nucleotidase between the cell surface and intracellular membranes nor does it block the transfer of the enzyme to the phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor.

The involvement of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) in membrane anchoring of 5'-nucleotidase was investigated by chemical analyses. 5'-Nucleotidase purified from rat liver microsomes was subjected to BrCN cleavage, hexane extraction, and high-performance liquid chromatography, resulting in the purification of a single fragment with Mr 2300. Chemical analyses revealed that the purified fragment contains the tetradecapeptide Lys-Val-Ile-Tyr-Pro-Ala-Val-Glu-Gly-Arg-Ile-Lys-Phe-Ser and characteristic components of GPI including ethanolamine, glucosamine, mannose, inositol, palmitic acid, and stearic acid. In addition, it was confirmed that digestion of 5'-nucleotidase with lysyl endopeptidase yielded a fragment containing the dipeptide Phe-Ser and the same GPI components as above. The sequences of the tetradeca- and dipeptides thus determined are identified at positions 510-523 and 522-523, respectively, in the primary structure deduced from the cDNA sequence, which predicts a further extension to position 548, containing a hydrophobic amino acid sequence [Misumi, Y., Ogata, S., Hirose, S., & Ikehara, Y. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 2178-2183]. Taken together, these results indicate that the mature 5'-nucleotidase molecule lacks the predicted COOH-terminal peptide extension and is attached at serine-523 with GPI, which functions as the membrane anchor of 5'-nucleotidase.
