A simple method, involving NAD+-Sepharose chromatography, was developed for the preparation of snake venom phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.1) almost free from 5'-Nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5). Using an NAD+-Sepharose 4B column, phosphodiesterase was eluted in the unadsorbed fraction, whereas 5'nucleotidase was strongly adsorbed. The latter enzyme was desorbed when 0.2 M sodium bicarbonate buffer containing 1mM beta-NADH was used as a solvent. The affinity column could be used at least four times without any decrease of potency, and the method was applicable for the preparation of phosphodiesterase from the venoms of rattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus) and Japanese mamushi (Agkistrodan halys blomhoffi).

Acute renal failure was induced in male rats by the subcutaneous injectioon of 4 mg HgC12 per kg body weight. Enzyme activities of the proximal tubule were studied histochemically at six time intervals from 15 min to 24 h. The enzyme studied were alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, acid phosphatase, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (NAD-independent), malic dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase, latic dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphatase. Decreases in activity were observed for alkaline phosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase after 15 min. Acid phosphatase was decreased after 30 min. These three enzymes returned to control levels after 3 h, but malic dehydrogenase and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase were decreased at this time interval. Succinic dehydrogenase was first decreased after 6 h. The earliest morphological changes detectable by light microscopy were observed in pars recta tubules in the medullary rays after 6 h, a time when all enzymes studied showed widespread decreased activity throughout the proximal tubule. After 24 h, the pars convoluta appeared morphologically normal but the pars recta was necrotic and exhibited calcification, whereas enzyme activity was decreased (absent in some cases) in both pars convoluta and pars recta. These results support the hypothesis that Hg++, when given in a sublethal dose, is associated with early histochemical changes in the brush border of the proximal tubule, which may be related to early changes in sodium reabsorption and to the subsequent development of acute renal failure. The observation that changes in plasma membrane-associated enzymes occur early and prior to alterations in enzymes of mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum suggests that Hg++ interacts initially with the plasma membrane.

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.

Highly purified nuclei isolated from bovine corpora lutea showed marked enrichment of NAD pyrophosphorylase, a marker for this organelle. Rough endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomal markers were undetectable, whereas plasma membrane and Golgi markers were detectable but not enriched in nuclei. These highly puridied nuclei exhibited specific binding with 125I-labeled human choriogonadotropin, [3H]prostaglandin E1 and [3H]prostaglandin F2 alpha. However, these bindings were only 15.4% (human choriogonadotropin), 7.9% (prostaglandin E1) and 8.9% (prostaglandin F2 alpha) of the plasma membrane binding observed under the same conditions. Washing of nuclei and plasma membranes twice with buffer containing 0.1% Triton X-100 resulted in gonadotropin and prostaglandin F2 alpha binding site and 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) losses from nuclei that were different from those observed for plasma membranes. More importantly, the washed nuclei exhibited 44% (human choriogonadotropin), 21--26% (prostaglandins) of original specific binding despite virtual disappearance of 5'-nucleotidase activity. The nuclear membranes isolated from nuclei, specifically bound 125I-labeled human choriogonadotropin and [3H]prostaglandin F2 alpha to the same extent or significantly more ([3H]prostaglandin E1, P less than 0.05) than nuclei themselves, despite the marked losses of chromatin. In summary, our data suggest that gonadotropin and prostaglandins bind to nuclei and that this binding was intrinsic and was primarily associated with the nuclear membrane.

A method is described for the isolation of secondary lysosomes from homogenates of rabbit liver; The uptake of Triton WR-1339 by rabbit-liver lysosomes when administered by intraperitoneal injection was used to decrease the density of secondary lysosomes. Lysosomal fractions prepared by this method contain an NAD nucleosidase (NAD glycohydrolase, EC 3;2.25), an enzyme which has previously been considered to be associated with other subcellular fractions. The enzyme has maximum activity at pH 6 and cleaves both NAD and NADP. It is inhibited by nicotinamide (Ki equals 4.5 mM) and by HgCl2. Both nucleosidase and 2'-nucleotidase show in-vitro latency typical of lysosomal acid hydrolases. Rabbit-liver plasma-membrane fractions were isolated which contained most 5'-nucleotidase but relatively little nucleosidase, whereas rabbit liver lysosomes contain both 5'-nucleotidase and nucleosidase enzymes but little adenyl cyclase.

The enzyme activity of Mg++-ATPase, Na+-K+-ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase and NAD(P)H-oxidase was cytochemically detected at the ultrastructural level in mouse peritoneal macrophages infected with untreated and with specific antibody-coated Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites. The Mg++-ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase were distributed throughout the macrophages' plasma membrane but were not observed in the membrane lining endocytic vacuoles containing ingested parasites; however, Na+-K+-ATPase activity was detected in the macrophages' plasma membrane as well as in the parasitophorous vacuoles that contained untreated or specific antibody-coated parasites. Reaction product, indicative of NAD(P)H-oxidase, was detected in the parasitophorous vacuoles that contained only specific antibody-coated parasites.

An enzyme with FAD pyrophosphatase activity was extracted from human placental syncytiotrophoblast microvilli and purified to near-homogeneity. The enzyme has been identified as 5'-nucleotidase by several criteria. Throughout purification, parallel increases in the specific activities of FAD pyrophosphatase and AMP phosphatase were observed. The enzyme was a glycoprotein with a subunit molecular weight of 74,000. EDTA treatment resulted in a marked decline in both activities, and restoration of FAD pyrophosphatase activity but not 5'-nucleotidase activity was accomplished by the addition of Co2+ or, to a lesser extent, Mn2+. The substrate specificity of the 5'-nucleotidase activity that we observed agreed closely with the results of others. The pyrophosphatase activity was relatively specific for FAD. ADP, ATP, NAD(H), and FMN were not hydrolyzed, and ADP strongly inhibited both activities. For FAD pyrophosphatase activity, a Km of 1.2 x 10(-5) M and a Vmax of 1.1 mumol/min/mg protein were determined in assays performed in the presence of Co2+. In the absence of added Co2+, the Vmax declined but the Km was unchanged. For 5'-nucleotidase (AMP as substrate) the Km was 4.1 x 10(-5) M and the Vmax 109 mumol/min/mg protein. Hydrolysis of FMN to riboflavin was observed in partially purified detergent extracts of microvilli that contained alkaline phosphatase activity and lacked FAD pyrophosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase activity. The presence of both FAD pyrophosphatase and FMN phosphatase activities in syncytiotrophoblast microvilli supports the view that the placental uptake of vitamin B2 involves the hydrolysis of FAD and FMN to riboflavin which is then absorbed, a sequence postulated for intestinal absorption and liver uptake.

The human monocytic leukemia cell line, THP-1, is induced to differentiate into more functionally mature monocyte (macrophage)-like cells by incubation with retinoic acid at concentrations of 10nM or higher. There is no apparent morphological change accompanying this functional maturation. These induced cells show increases in nitroblue tetrazolium reduction, immunoerythrophagocytosis, hexose monophosphate shunt activity, and 5'-nucleotidase and NAD+-glycohydrolase activities. Prostaglandin E2, dibutyryl cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate, or T-lymphocyte-derived differentiation-inducing activity, all inactive or less active alone, increase the extent of differentiation of THP-1 in combination with 10nM retinoic acid. THP-1 is also induced to differentiate by 0.1nM or higher concentrations of cholera toxin. Furthermore, 24,24-difluoro-1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 induces less differentiation of THP-1 compared to retinoic acid. Dimethyl sulfoxide and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate show no induction of functional differentiation. THP-1 thus joins the list of leukemic myelomonocytic cell lines (e.g., the promyelocytic HL-60 and the monoblast-like U-937) that are blocked at a relatively late stage of maturation and which differentiate in response to retinoic acid.

Addition of NADH, but not NAD+ or NADPH, to rat liver plasma membranes resulted in the increase of their 5'-nucleotidase activity. NADH-dependent activation of 5'-nucleotidase was significantly suppressed by atebrine, an inhibitor of NADH dehydrogenase of plasma membranes, and completely abolished by 2,4-dinitrophenol (2 X 10(-4)M) and Triton X-100 (2%). Inhibitors of electron transfer in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, rotenone and potassium cyanide, failed to affect 5'-nucleotidase activity in both the presence and absence of NADH. The data obtained give reasons to suggest a redox-dependent mechanism of 5'-nucleotidase activation in rat liver plasma membranes.

Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is not only an intermediate for the biosynthesis but also a degradation product of pyridine cofactors in animal tissues. Among the animal tissues tested, the highest NMN catabolizing activity was detected in beef liver (5.6 mumol/min/g tissue). This activity was 16 times higher than the NAD hydrolysis catalyzed by the liver NAD glycohydrolase. As a result of enzymatic analysis of the NMN splitting process, two types of enzyme responsible for this catabolism were partially purified and identified as a membrane-bound 5'-nucleotidase and a cytoplasmic nicotinamide riboside (NR) phosphorylase. No specific NMN glycohydrolase could be found in contrast to results observed in bacterial systems. The 5'-nucleotidase and NR phosphorylase constitute an obligatory process of the pyridine nucleotide cycle. The dephosphorylation and phosphorolysis catalyzed suggest that these enzymes could serve as an important mechanism for salvaging the ribose and nicotinamide moieties of NMN and pyridine nucleotides in the cell and a process that could be regulated at the mononucleotide level by this "NMN cycle" rather than by a NAD glycohydrolase cycle. In addition to the enzymatic properties of these enzymes, a regulatory mechanism by nucleotides such as ATP was also demonstrated.
