Alkaline phosphatase (AP), 5'-nucleotidase (5'N), Mg2+-activated ATPase (Mg-ATPase) and Ca2+-activated ATPase (Ca-ATPase) were studied in sychronized HeLa S3 cells with cytochemical methods and electron microscopy. It was found that AP activity, as determined by the deposition of lead phosphate reaction product (r.p.) was most active in mitotic (M), early and middle G1 cells, less active in late G1 and almost undetectable in S phase cells. Most AP enzyme activity was found to be associated with undulations (mainly microvilli) of the plasma membrane. Fluctuations and the redistribution of 5'N were also observed; the reaction for 5'N was positive in all phases of the cell cycle studied, it was strongest in M cells and in the majority of middle G1 cells. Mg-ATPase activity was present in the plasma membranes of cells throughout the cell cycle, but did not show noticeable fluctuations in activity and distribution. Ca-ATPase activity appeared in plasma membranes and in limited areas of cell nuclei but was evident only in S phase cells. The results of the present study confirm and extend previous biochemical observations and indicate that changes in membrane phosphate activities are associated with enzyme activity redistributions within the plasma membrane during the HeLa S3 cell cycle.

Enzyme distribution profiles of clarified bovine mammary homogenates separated by equilibrium centrifugation on linear sucrose gradients suggested that several of the commonly utilized marker enzymes for rat liver are also valid markers for mammary cellular components. These marker enzymes include: Succinate dehydrogenase (mitochondria), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate cytochrome c reductase and, to a lesser extent, retenone insensitive nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide cytochrome c reductase (endoplasmic reticulum), galactosyl transferase (Golgi apparatus), 5'-nucleotidase (plasma membranes), uric acid oxidase (microbodies), and acid phosphatase (lysosomes). Rotenone sensitive nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide cytochrome c reductase and sodium, potassium, magnesium-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase were widely distributed among subcellular fractions and are not valid marker enzymes. The boyant densities determined for the above fractions should aid in design of methods to obtain enriched sources of these components for analysis.

Plasma membranes were isolated from rat liver mainly under isotonic conditions. As marker enzymes for the plasma membrane, 5'-nucleotidase and (Na+ + K+)-ATPase were used. The yield of plasma membrane was 0.6-0.9 mg protein per g wet weight of liver. The recovery of 5'-nucleotidase and (Na+ +K+)-ATPase activity was 18 and 48% of the total activity of the whole-liver homogenate, respectively. Judged from the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase and succinate dehydrogenase in the plasma membrane, and from the electron microscopic observation of it, the contamination by microsomes and mitochondria was very low. A further homogenization of the plasma membrane yielded two fractions, the light and heavy fractions, in a discontinuous sucrose gradient centrifugation. The light fraction showed higher specific activities of 5'-nucleotidase, alkaline phosphatase, (Na+ +K+)-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase, whereas the heavy one showed a higher specific activity of adenylate cyclase. Ligation of the bile duct for 48 h decreased the specific activities of (Na2+ +K+)-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase in the light fraction, whereas it had no significant influence on the activities of these enzymes in the heavy fraction. The specific activity of alkaline phosphate was elevated in both fractions by the obstruction of the bile flow. Electron microscopy on sections of the plasma membrane subfractions showed that the light fraction consisted of vesicles of various sizes and that the heavy fractions contained membrane sheets and paired membrane strips connected by junctional complexes, as well as vesicles. The origin of these two fractions is discussed and it is suggested that the light fraction was derived from the bile front of the liver cell surface and the heavy one contained the blood front and the lateral surface of it.

A survey of Salmonella typhimurium enzymes possessing phosphatase or phosphodiesterase activity was made using several different growth conditions. These studies revealed the presence of three major enzymes, all of which were subsequently purified: a cyclic 2' ,3'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.d), an acid hexose phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2), and a nonspecific acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2). A fourth enzyme hydrolyzed bis-(p-nitrophenyl)phosphate but none of the other substrates tested. No evidence was found for the existence of an alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) or a specific 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) in S. typhimurium LT2. All three phosphatases could be measured efficiently in intact cells, which suggested a periplasmic location; however, they were not readily released by osmotic shock procedures. The nonspecific acid phosphatase, which was purified to apparent homogeneity, yielded a single polypeptide band on both sodium dodecyl sulfate and acidic urea gel electrophoretic systems.

The abilities of purine- and pyrimidine-requiring mutants to produce six orthophosphate repressible extracellular enzymes, alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, acid phosphatase, two nucleases and ribonuclease N1 were examined by culturing these mutants in low and high phosphate media containing nucleotide or nucleoside. All the purine requiring mutants produced significantly reduced amounts of alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, acid phosphatase, alkaline nuclease and acid nuclease ranging 0.5-4.2, 5.0-17.4, 25.0-100, 20.3-67.5 and 6.2-48.5%, respectively. Production of ribonuclease N1 was found to be rather stimulated (150-564%) in these mutants. Essentially the same results were obtained for pyrimidine requiring mutants. Among those mutants ad-2 and ad-9 showed relatively high enzyme producing activity. Especially the production of ribonuclease N1 in ad-2 and ad-9 ranged to 4.9- and 5.6-fold that in the wild type. Though nuc-1 mutant (A1) has no ability to produce all these six repressible enzymes, double mutants A1ad-2 and A1ad-9 produced a significant amount of ribonuclease N1 in low and high phosphate media and acid phosphatase in low phosphate media.

Cell-free extracts of a strain of Proteus vulgaris degrade NADH to reduced nicotinamide riboside, adenosine and two molecules of phosphate. The system is weakly active in fresh cell extracts, but activity is increased about 10-fold on rapid heating to 70-100 degrees C. On returning to room temperature, the activity returns rapidly to its initial low value but can be re-activated by again heating to 70-100 degrees C. Reversible activation can also be effected by extremes of pH or by teatment with 8M-urea. Activation appears to be due to reversible changes in conformation of the protein of the enzyme rather than to combination of the enzyme with a heat-labile inhibitor. The active form can be stabilized by addition of PPi. The system, which also possesses 5'-nucleotidase activity not separable from the NADH pyrophosphatase, requires Co2+ (0.4mM) for maximum activity. Although activated at relatively high temperatures, it is not enzymically active until cooled to 50-60 degrees C. It may be purified by affinity chromatography (with NAD+ as ligand) to an activity over 400 times that of the crude cell extract, and yields only one major band on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis.

During intraperiplasmic growth of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109J on Escherichia coli some 30 to 60% of the initial E. coli RNA-ribose disappeared as cell-associated orcinol-positive material. The levels of RNA-ribose in the suspending buffer after growth together with the RNA-ribose used for bdellovibrio DNA synthesis accounted for 50% or less of the missing RNA-ribose. With intraperiplasmic growth in the presence of added U-14C-labeled CMP, GMP, or UMP, radioactivity was found both in the respired CO2 and incorporated into the bdellovibrio cell components. The addition of exogenous unlabeled ribonucleotides markedly reduced the amounts of both the 14CO2 and 14C incorporated into the progeny bdellovibrios. During intraperiplasmic growth of B. bacteriovorus on [U-14C]ribose-labeled E. coli BJ565, ca. 74% and ca. 19% of the initial 14C was incorporated into the progeny bdellovibrios and respired CO2, respectively. Under similar growth conditions, the addition of glutamate substantially reduced only the 14CO2; however, added ribonucleotides reduced both the 14CO2 and the 14C incorporated into the progeny bdellovibrios. No similar effects were found with added ribose-5-phosphate. The distribution of 14C in the major cell components was similar in progeny bdellovibrios whether obtained from growth on [U-14C]ribose-labeled E. coli BJ565 or from E. coli plus added U-14C-labeled ribonucleotides. After intraperiplasmic growth of B. bacteriovorus on [5,6-3H-]uracil-[U-14C]ribose-labeled E. coli BJ565 (normal or heat treated), the whole-cell 14C/3H ratio of the progeny bdellovibrios was some 50% greater and reflected the higher 14C/3H ratios found in the cell fractions. B. bacteriovorus and E. coli cell extracts both contained 5'-nucleotidase, uridine phosphorylase, purine phosphorylase, deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase, transketolase, thymidine phosphorylase, phosphodeoxyribomutase, and transaldolase enzyme activities. The latter three enzyme activities were either absent or very low in cell extracts prepared from heat-treated E. coli cells. It is concluded that during intraperiplasmic growth B. bacteriovorus degrades some 20 to 40% of the ribonucleotides derived from the initial E. coli RNA into the base and ribose-1-phosphate moieties. The ribose-1-phosphate is further metabolized by B. bacteriovorus both for energy production and for biosynthesis, of non-nucleic acid cell material. In addition, the data indicate that during intraperiplasmic growth B. bacteriovorus can metabolize ribose only if this compound is available to it as the ribonucleoside monophosphate.

An exocellular pyrophosphatase, active on the nucleotide precursors of peptidoglycans, has been found in the culture medium of Streptomyces mediterranei ME/R 17. This enzyme was separated from the DD-carboxypeptidase by batchwise adsorption on DEAE cellulose. The pyrophosphatase had no strict substrate requirements, it hydrolyzed various UDP-sugar substrates: UDP-GlcNAc, UDP-Mur NAc and UDP-MurNAc peptides, giving rise to the corresponding sugar phosphate and to UMP. The enzyme preparation also contained a 5'-nucleotidase activity and UMP was further split to give uridine. This nucleotidase activity was inhibited by potassium tetraborate. Both cytoplasmic and particulate preparations from cells of S. mediterranei also contained a pyrophosphatase activity while only the particulate fractions showed the DD-carboxypeptidase activity. The pyrophosphatase excretion was tested during the grwoth cycle. The activity of the enzyme showed a constant increase throughout the exponential growth and a stronger increase in the late exponential phase. Such a result could be correlated with a consumption of the nutrients in the culture medium, in fact a relatively poor culture medium had a strong positive effect upon the production of the exocellular pyrophosphatase.

The activity of 5'-nucleotidase in L 1210 leukaemia cells fixed in situ by glutaraldehyde was established by electron microscopic cytochemistry and biochemical assays. The enzyme activity is localized uniquely on the cell surface. In biochemical assays the time course of phosphate liberation by the suspension of glutaraldehyde fixed cells was linear up to 15 min incubation. The activity was proportional to the number of cells in the suspension, amounting of 0.019 units activity per 10(8) cells.

Mitochondrial and microsomal fractions were isolated from guinea pig myocardium by differential pelleting. The mitochondrial fraction was subjected to analytical subfractionation by sucrose density gradient centrifugation and the gradient fractions assayed for marker enzymes for the various mitochondrial compartments, viz outer membrane (monoamine oxidase), intermembranous space (adenylate kinase), inner membrane (Mg2+-dependent ATPase and cytochrome c oxidase) and mitochondrial matrix (malate dehydrogenase), and for creatine kinase. Both creatine kinase and adenylate kinase were released by suspending the mitochondria in 50 mmol . litre-1 sodium phosphate buffer. Sonication or disruption with the detergent, digitonin released the adenylate kinase but the creatine kinase remained associated with the inner membranes. Subsequent salt treatment desorbed the creatine kinase from these membranes. It is concluded that creatine kinase is located to the outer aspect of the inner mitochondrial membrane. Analytical subfractionation of the microsomal fraction clearly resolved markers for the sarcolemma (5'-nucleotidase), outer mitochondrial membrane (monoamine oxidase) and endoplasmic reticulum (neutral alpha-glucosidase and RNA). Creatine kinase was localised in the endoplasmic reticulum particularly the smooth membranes.
