3-Phosphono-2-imino-1-methyl-4-oxoimidazolidine (PIMOI), AMP and p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) were dephosphorylated in the presence of rat heart cytosol at 37 degrees C pH 6.3 at the rates of 0.71, 0.45 and 1.07 mumol/mg X h, respectively. When mixed together, these compounds inhibited the hydrolysis of each other, which points to the participation of common enzyme(s) in this process. The inhibitor of 5'-nucleotidase (alpha,beta-methylene)-ADP, did not affect PIMOI cleavage and moderately inhibited AMP hydrolysis (by ADP, did not affect PIMOI cleavage and moderately inhibited AMP hydrolysis (by 30-50%), thus suggesting that acidic phosphatases are responsible for PIMOI and AMP hydrolysis under these conditions (pH 6.3). Phosphocreatine (PCr) and phosphocyclocreatine (PcCr) were stable to hydrolysis by the cytosolic fraction. However, addition of AMP to the medium containing PCr or PcCr resulted in AMP phosphorylation down to ATP due to the effects of these phosphagens and, probably, of microcontaminations of ATP. This was followed by gradual disappearance of PCr or PcCr and by accumulation of Pi as a result of the "ATPase" activity in the cytosol. The hydrolysis of AMP, PIMOI and p-NPP was sensitive to sulfhydryl reagents [5,5'-dithio-bis-(2-nitrobenzoate) and, in part, 2,4-dinitro-fluorobenzene] and fluoride ion. Thus, PIMOI is a competitive substrate of acidic phosphatases in heart cytosol with respect to AMP and p-NPP. This may partly explain the protective effect of PIMOI on ischemic myocardium.

Enzyme activities of purine catabolism and salvage, the concentrations of high-energy phosphates and the reutilisation of purine bases and purine nucleosides were studied in rat heart myoblasts and myocytes. Rat heart myoblasts H9c2(2-1) were grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's minimum essential medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum. Reduction of fetal calf serum to 2% for 1 week resulted in a differentiation into myocytes with respect to their morphological features and their enzyme pattern. In differentiated myocytes, activity of 5'-nucleotidase was increased more than 2-fold, and AMP deaminase and creatine kinase activities were more than 10-fold elevated. The concentration of creatine phosphate in differentiated myocytes was doubled compared to that in myoblasts. The uptake into myoblasts and myocytes and the incorporation into adenine nucleotides was highest using adenosine, inosine and adenine uptake rates were intermediate, and hypoxanthine was utilised least. Differentiation of myoblasts into myocytes resulted in a slightly lower overall uptake of adenosine and adenine, whereas about 40% more inosine and hypoxanthine were utilised by myocytes. Increasing the phosphate concentration in the incubation medium up to 50 mmol/l resulted in a stimulation of uptake of all purine compounds tested. This stimulation was more pronounced in myoblasts.

The 5'-nucleotidase of Escherichia coli was shown to be located at the cell wall surface by histochemical techniques utilizing the deposition of inorganic phosphate. Penetration of the 5'-nucleotidase in the periplasmic space was seen only in cells treated with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris). The 3'-nucleotidase of E. coli was also found to have a surface location, and periplasmic precipitation of inorganic phosphate was seen only after EDTA-Tris-sucrose exposure.

The relationship between net tubular reabsorption of sodium and renal microsomal sodium- and potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase) was evaluated in hypothyroid and hyperthyroid rats and in age-matched euthyroid controls. Tubular sodium reabsorption per gram of kidney was lower in thyroidectomized rats than in controls (186+/-14 vs. 246+/-12 mueq/min; P < 0.005) and was accompanied by a quantitatively similar reduction in Na-K-ATPase specific activity (49.4+/-2.4 vs. 65.8+/-2.3 mumol inorganic phosphate (P(t))/mg protein per h; P < 0.001). This decrement was present in both cortex and outer medulla, and was limited to Na-K-ATPase since other representative enzymes not involved in sodium transport (magnesium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase [Mg-ATPase], glucose-6-phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase) remained unchanged or increased in the hypothyroid animals. Conversely, Na-K-ATPase rose when sodium reabsorption increased in euthyroid rats treated with triiodothyronine. Subsequent experiments were performed to determine to what extent the decrease in Na-K-ATPase is due to lack of thyroid hormone per se or to an adaptive response to decreased reabsorptive sodium load. Triiodothyronine in concentrations of 10(-12) to 10(-5) M had no effect in vitro on microsomal Na-K-ATPase of either thyroidectomized or euthyroid rats. When hypothyroid rats were uninephrectomized or treated with methylprednisolone, sodium reabsorption per gram kidney increased markedly and was similar to that of intact controls. Despite persistence of the hypothyroid state, Na-K-ATPase specific activity also increased to levels not significantly different from euthyroid animals. These data suggest that decreased tubular sodium transport is a major determinant of the reduction in renal Na-K-ATPase in thyroid deficiency since the latter can be reversed by increasing sodium reabsorption during continuing hypothyroidism. Furthermore, the modest sodium leak of hypothyroid animals does not appear to be due to decreased Na-K-ATPase since it was not corrected by uninephrectomy despite restoration of both cortical and medullary Na-K-ATPase activity to normal by this maneuver. The close correlation between net sodium reabsorption and Na-K-ATPase in all the experimental situations described here demonstrates that renal Na-K-ATPase changes adaptively in hyper- or hypothyroidism as it does in numerous situations in the normal animal, in accord with its postulated role in the active transport of sodium across the renal tubule.

All members of the Enterobacteriaceae possess distinct 5'-nucleotidases and cyclic phosphodiesterases (3'-nucleotidases) that can be differentiated from the acid and alkaline phosphatases and the acid sugar hydrolases. The nucleotidases and cyclic phosphodiesterases of the various Enterobacteriaceae are remarkably similar in properties. All of the 5'-nucleotidases hydrolyze 5'-nucleotides, adenosine triphosphate, and uridine diphosphoglucose. Their pH optimum is from 5.7 to 6.1. The cyclic phosphodiesterases hydrolyze 3'-nucleotides, cyclic phosphonucleotides, bis-(p-nitrophenyl)phosphate, and p-nitrophenylphosphate. Their pH optimum is from 7.2 to 7.8. For both enzymes, cobalt showed optimal metal stimulation. An intracellular protein inhibitor for the 5'-nucleotidase is present in all of the Enterobacteriaceae. No inhibitor of cyclic phosphodiesterase activity exists, although hydrolysis of both cyclic phosphonucleotides and 3'-nucleotides is inhibited by ribonucleic acid. Neither of the enzymes is subject to control by phosphate level or by catabolite repression. Of the other bacteria studied, only Haemophilus and Bacillus subtilis contained significant 3'- or 5'-nucleotidase activity.

A procedure has been developed for the cytochemical localization of 5'-nucleotidase in isolated, unfixed, rat liver microsomes. Membranes were incubated with adenosine 5'-phosphate (5'-AMP) and Pb(NO(3))(2) and then isolated on sucrose density gradients: all the phosphate released was recovered with the membranes by this procedure. Adenosine 2'-phosphate (2'-AMP) and adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic phosphate (3',5'-AMP) were shown to be competitive inhibitors, but not substrates, for purified 5'-nucleotidase and were employed to determine the specificity of the cytochemical reaction. It was found that the incubation conditions for the cytochemical assay did not affect the specificity of 5'-nucleotidase. Microsomes incubated as controls with Pb(2+), or Pb(2+) and 2'-AMP or 3',5'-AMP were of the same density, although slightly denser than microsomes incubated without Pb(2+), and were unassociated with lead precipitate when examined by electron microscopy; microsomes incubated with Pb(2+) and 5'-AMP were much denser and were stained heterogeneously with lead phosphate when examined by electron microscopy. Precipitates formed artificially from Pb(2+) and inorganic phosphate did not resemble the reaction product. Microsomes were, therefore, separated on sucrose gradients and the subfractions were examined cytochemically. Lead precipitates were associated with the majority of rough-surfaced vesicles, and the reaction product was distributed heterogeneously in all fractions. Vesicles which stained like the membranes of the bile canaliculi in isolated plasma membranes were observed in the lightest subfraction. The reaction product was localized on the outside surface of the microsomal membranes, and was solubilized by low concentrations of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. It is concluded that 5'-nucleotidase is present in the endoplasmic reticulum and that the microsome fraction contains, in addition, vesicles derived from the plasma membrane.

Matrix vesicles, associated with initial calcification in cartilage, have been isolated from bovine fetal epiphyseal cartilage. Cartilage was digested with collagenase, then partitioned into seven fractions by differential centrifugation. The cellular fractions contained over 80% of the DNA in the digest. The extracellular fraction that contained matrix vesicles, in which apatite crystals were often seen on electron microscopy, also displayed the highest specific activity for alkaline phosphatase, pyrophosphatase, ATPase, and 5'-AMPase (EC 3.1.3.1., 3.6.1.1, 3.6.1.3, and 3.1.3.5, respectively). Most of the acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) activity, on the other hand, was found in the cellular fractions, indicating that matrix vesicles are quite distinct from lysosomes. This appears to be the first instance of isolation of membrane-bounded extracellular particles from any normal tissue. The matrix vesicles possess enzymes that can increase the local concentration of orthophosphate and thus could lead to the formation of hydroxyapatite. The membrane-bounded matrix vesicles may also provide a mechanism for ATP-dependent transport of calcium or phosphate into the lumen of the vesicles with resultant mineralization.

In the previous paper we presented findings which indicated that enzyme heterogeneity exists among PMN leukocyte granules. From histochemical staining of bone marrow smears, we obtained evidence that azurophil and specific granules differ in their enzyme content. Moreover, a given enzyme appeared to be restricted to one of the two types. Clear results were obtained with alkaline phosphatase, but those with a number of other enzymes were suggestive rather than conclusive. Since the approach used previously was indirect, it was of interest to localize the enzymes directly in the granules. Toward this end, we carried out cytochemical procedures for five enzymes on normal rabbit bone marrow cells which had been fixed and incubated in suspension. The localization of reaction product in the granules was determined by electron microscopy. In accordance with the results obtained on smears, azurophil granules were found to contain peroxidase and three lysosomal enzymes: acid phosphatase, arylsulfatase, and 5'-nucleotidase; specific granules were found to contain alkaline phosphate. Specific granules also contained small amounts of phosphatasic activity at acid pH. Another finding was that enzyme activity could not be demonstrated in mature granules with metal salt methods (all except peroxidase); reaction product was seen only in immature granules. The findings confirm and extend those obtained previously, indicating that azurophil granules correspond to lysosomes whereas specific granules represent a different secretory product.

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 purpose of this study was to determine if there is a difference in the biochemical composition of the edge of a tumor and the center of a tumor. There was a greater concentration of histamine in the edge (mean +/- SEM, 9.3 +/- 1.2 pmole/mg of wet weight) than in the center (3.6 +/- 0.4 pmole/mg of wet weight) of a transplantable golden hamster insulinoma. There was, however, no difference in the concentration of norepinephrine, protein, DNA, or phosphate, or in the activity of the enzymes, monoamine oxidase, catechol-O-methyltransferase, L-dopa decarboxylase, or 5'-nucleotidase in the edge or in the center of the tumor. Using chemical analysis and autoradiography, there was a comparable incorporation of tritiated thymidine in the edge and in the center of the tumor.
