In bull seminal plasma 5'-nucleotidase is present in heterogeneous forms. The heterogeneity is abolished by treatment of bull seminal plasma with the detergent sodium cholate. The purified enzyme, which is a glycoprotein, shows an apparent molecular mass of 160 kDa on gel filtration in the presence of 50 mmol sodium cholate and an apparent molecular mass of 72 kDa upon SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The 5'-nucleotidase of bull seminal plasma is a metalloprotein containing 2 zinc ions per molecule of dimeric protein. The removal of the two zinc ions from the protein results in a completely inactive apoenzyme. The substitution of the endogenous zinc with Co(II) Cu(II) produces a holoenzyme which is slightly activated in the case of Co(II), whereas, in the case of Cu(II) only 65% of the initial activity is recovered. The enzyme has a covalently attached glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol moiety which can be removed by treatment with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. ESR studies have indicated a radius of 35 A for the protein and that Cu(II) binds to the metal-free enzyme to a site in which sulphur donors can be excluded.

The plasma membrane fraction of chicken osteoclasts was purified utilizing 20% continuous Percoll gradients. Biochemical marker enzyme analysis (ouabain-sensitive Na+,K(+)-ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase) indicated that plasma membrane enrichment was 11.87-fold and 7.25-fold, respectively, and contamination with mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and lysosomes was low as determined by succinic dehydrogenase, NADH dehydrogenase, and N-acetylglucosaminidase activities, respectively. SDS latency of Na+,K(+)-ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase activities of the isolated plasma membranes revealed that 43-50% of vesicles were sealed, with 10-16% in the inside-out orientation, depending on the membrane fraction used. Electron microscopy confirmed the vesicular nature of the plasma membrane fraction. The plasma membrane Ca2(+)-ATPase had a high-affinity (KCa = 0.22 microM; Vmax = 0.16 mumol/mg per min) and a low-affinity (KCa = 148 microM; Vmax = 0.37 mumol/mg per min) component. Calmodulin (0.12 microM) had no effect on Ca2(+)-ATPase activity. However, trifluoperazine (0.1 mM), a calmodulin antagonist, strongly inhibited especially the high-affinity component of the enzyme. Vanadate and lanthanum also caused inhibition. In the presence of CDTA, a potent Ca2+ and Mg2+ chelating agent, high-affinity Ca2(+)-ATPase activity was abolished, indicating that trace Mg2+ was essential for activity. The Ca2(+)-ATPase substrate curve using ATP showed a high-affinity (Km = 12.3 microM; Vmax = 0.022 mumol/mg per min) and a low-affinity (Km = 43.8 microM; Vmax = 0.278 mumol/mg per min) component. These results demonstrate that osteoclasts have a plasma membrane Ca2(+)-ATPase with characteristics similar to the enzyme responsible for active calcium extrusion in other cells.

1. Polypeptides of liver plasma membrane fractions enriched in three surface domains of hepatocytes, blood-sinusoidal, lateral and bile canalicular, were analysed by isoelectric focusing (IEF) and non-equilibrium pH gel electrophoresis (NEPHGE) across a wide pH range, followed by SDS/PAGE. The overall Coomassie Blue-stained polypeptide patterns in the fractions were different. lateral plasma membrane fractions contained a characteristically higher number of polypeptides focusing at the basic pH range, whereas few basic polypeptides were present in sinusoidal plasma membrane fractions. The glycoproteins in these plasma membrane fractions stained by a lectin overlay technique with radio-iodinated concanavalin A, wheat-germ agglutinin and a slug lectin, were also different. 2. The polypeptides and glycoproteins of 'early' and 'late' endosome fractions were also compared by two-dimensional electrophoresis. Their composition was shown by Coomassie Blue staining, lectin overlay staining and in membranes metabolically labelled with [35S]methionine to be generally similar. The glycoproteins of sinusoidal plasma membranes and early and late endosomes were generally similar, but major differences in polypeptides of molecular mass 20-50 kDa, pI 7.5-8.5, in plasma membranes and endosomes were demonstrated, with a specific population of basic (pI 8-9) low-molecular-mass polypeptides being present at highest levels in 'late' endosomal fractions (shown by Coomassie Blue staining). 3. Analysis of the distribution of three specific membrane glycoproteins identified by using immunoblotting techniques showed that the asialoglycoprotein and the divalent-cation-sensitive mannose 6-phosphate receptors were present in sinusoidal plasma membrane and in early and late endocytic fractions: they were not detected in canalicular plasma membrane fractions. In contrast, 5'-nucleotidase was detected in all fractions examined. The role of the endocytic compartment in regulating trafficking pathways between the plasma membrane domains of the hepatocyte is discussed.

5'-Nucleotidase is a member of a recently identified class of membrane proteins that is anchored via a phosphatidylinositol-containing glycolipid. The enzyme was readily solubilized with full retention of catalytic activity by nonionic and anionic detergents such as alkylthioglucosides, deoxycholate, and 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]-1-propane-sulfonate (CHAPS), while the cationic detergent dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) caused loss of activity. 5'-Nucleotidase was released only at high detergent concentrations, suggesting that it is tightly associated with the membrane. DTAB and deoxycholate caused a loss of heat stability, while alkylthioglucosides had no effect. CHAPS produced a remarkable increase in the heat stability of the partially purified (glycoprotein fraction) and purified enzyme. Arrhenius plots of solubilized 5'-nucleotidase showed "break points" for all detergents in the temperature range 30-37 degrees C. SDS-PAGE of pure 5'-nucleotidase showed a single subunit of molecular mass 70 kilodaltons (kDa), while sucrose density gradient sedimentation gave a peak of activity corresponding to 132 kDa, indicating that the enzyme exists as a dimer. Gel filtration of the solubilized enzyme in several detergents showed apparent molecular masses between 200-630 kDa, suggesting that lymphocyte 5'-nucleotidase may be present in high molecular mass aggregates in its native state.

Evidence is presented that multiple forms of cyclic nucleotide phophodiesterase (PDE) activity chromatographically separated from the soluble fraction of bovine hypothalamus are co-eluted with multiple forms of 5'-nucleotidase (5'N) activity. The enzymes could not be resolved from each other by anion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-TSK; by affinity chromatography on phenyl-, blue-, concanavalin A-, 5' AMP-sepharose, cAMP-silica gel; or by gel filtration on sephacryl S-200. The catalytic activities were found to be associated with the tetrameric, dimeric, and monomeric forms of the enzymes. The molecular weights determined by gel filtration or by SDS-gel electrophoresis were 220, 114, and 57 kDa, respectively. Kinetic analysis revealed that the first-order rate constant for 5'AMP hydrolysis measured in the reactions: cAMP----5'AMP----adenosine was 100 times higher than that in the reaction: 5'AMP----adenosine. Thus, functional interrelation between PDE and 5'N was expressed in drastic acceleration of the consecutive reactions: cAMP----5'AMP----adenosine. The results confirm the conclusion about the existence of a multienzyme system involving PDE and 5'N or of a single bifunctional enzyme in brain tissue.

5'-Nucleotidase was found in purified rat liver tritosomes. When tritosomes were subfractionated into the membrane and soluble contents fractions, 73% of the total 5'-nucleotidase activity was found in the membrane fraction and 24% in the soluble contents fraction. Immunoblotting using specific polyclonal antibodies against the rat liver plasma membrane 5'-nucleotidase showed that the mobilities on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of both 5'-nucleotidases in the membrane and contents fractions were identical to that of the enzyme in the plasma membranes (Mr = 72,000). 5'-Nucleotidases in the membrane and contents fractions were sensitive to neuraminidase and converted into a form that was 4 kDa smaller after digestion, as observed in the case of plasma membrane enzyme. 5'-Nucleotidases, both from the membrane and contents fractions, were purified using immunoaffinity chromatography, and the isoelectric points, heat stability, and oligomeric structure of the purified enzymes were compared. Isoelectric focusing and the heat stability test indicated the resemblance of the soluble enzyme to the membrane-bound enzyme. However, the membrane-bound enzyme aggregated in the absence of Triton X-100, whereas the soluble enzyme behaved as a dimer. The topography of 5'-nucleotidase in the tritosomal membranes was studied using antibodies against 5'-nucleotidase and neuraminidase treatment. The inhibition of 5'-nucleotidase were not observed in the intact tritosomal fraction until the tritosomes had been disrupted by osmotic shock. These results show that the active sites and the oligosaccharide chains of 5'-nucleotidase are located on the inside surface of the tritosomal membranes.

A venom exonuclease 'phosphodiesterase' (E.C. 3.1.4.1) has been purified from Cerastes cerastes venom by a combination of gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 superfine and ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose. The enzyme showed a single band on PAGE and SDS-PAGE and had a molecular weight of 110,000. The final preparation was purified 28 fold. It had no carbohydrate and it did not have protease or 5'-nucleotidase activities. Optimum temperature for enzyme activity was 56 degrees C. The enzyme was rapidly inactivated when pre-incubated above 40 degrees C. Energy of activation (Ea) was calculated to be 0.913. The optimum pH was 9.0. Cysteine, glutathione, dithiothreitol, 2-mercaptoethanol, ADP and AMP inhibited the enzyme. Cysteine caused a non-competitive inhibition, while ADP showed a competitive inhibition. EDTA at a concentration of 0.5 mM caused complete inhibition of the enzyme, which could be reversed by the addition of Ca2+ or Mn2+.

Separation of the gradient-purified gastric microsome into two membrane subfractions of distinct enzymatic and phospholipid composition has been achieved by mild SDS (0.033% w/v) treatment followed by sucrose gradient centrifugation of the pig and rabbit gastric microsomes. While the high-density membranes had all of the (H+,K+)-ATPase and K+-pNPPase activities and revealed a single major 100-kDa band on SDS-PAGE, the low-density membranes contained all of the 5'-nucleotidase and nearly all of the Mg2+-ATPase. In the present study, the low-density subfraction has been characterized to be derived from the apical membranes and the high-density one from the intracellular tubulovesicular membranes of the parietal cells. Such characterization was based primarily on sole dependency of the apical plasma membranes on the endogenous activator for (H+,K+)-ATPase activity, differential sensitivity of the activator (AF)-dependent and -independent (H+,K+)-ATPase on micromolar vanadate and Ca2+, specific vitamin B12 binding ability of the apical plasmalemma, phospholipid and protein profiles of the two membrane subfractions, and other parameters. The AF, mentioned previously, has recently been implicated as a cytosolic regulator of the gastric (H+,K+)-ATPase [Bandopadhyay et al. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 5664-5670]. Two different forms (i.e., AF-dependent and -independent forms) of the (H+,K+)-ATPase are suggested to be present in the tubulovesicles on the basis of differential vanadate sensitivity while the AF-dependent form alone is present in the apical membranes. The data have been discussed in terms of stimulation-induced membrane transformation characteristic of the H+-secreting epithelia including the acid-secreting cells of the stomach.

Retinal pigment epithelium plasma membranes have been isolated by differential and density gradient centrifugation of glass-bead-bound, collagenase-treated cells. Electron microscopic evidence indicates that the glass-bead-bound cells were devoid of red blood cells, rod outer segments and other ocular cell contaminants. The plasma membranes were recovered in 4-6 micrograms/eye yields and purified 10-fold by 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphodiesterase I, and 6.5-fold by (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. Plasma membrane purity as measured by covalent labeling of the epithelial cell plasma membrane proteins with p-(diazonium) benzene[32S]sulfonic acid was 8-19-fold. In purified plasma membranes contamination by mitochondria was undetectable and lysosomal contamination reduced 100-fold, while endoplasmic reticulum was 2-fold enriched. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the plasma membrane proteins revealed 23-26 major bands by Coomassie blue staining and 12-16 major bands by radioactive labeling. The plasma membranes exhibited a 3-fold lower concentration of docosahexaenoic acid, a 3-fold higher cholesterol/phosphate ratio, and were 10-fold enriched in cholesterol per micrograms protein when compared to the whole cell fraction. Retinal epithelial plasma membranes contain an average of 1 mol cholesterol per mol of lipid phosphorus, a high palmitic acid concentration (39 mol%) and a low concentration of docosahexaenoic acid (2 mol%). The lipid profile of the retinal pigment epithelial plasma membranes indicates that they are typical of plasma membranes from many other cell types and that they appear to be less fluid than total rod outer segment membranes.

The biosynthesis of the ectoenzyme 5'-nucleotidase in the rat hepatoma cell line H4S has been studied by pulse-labeling with [35S]methionine and subsequent immunoprecipitation of the cell lysate. 5'-Nucleotidase is a membrane glycoprotein with an apparent molecular mass on SDS-gels of 72 kDa. The enzyme is initially synthesized as a 68-kDa precursor which is converted to the mature 72-kDa form in 15-60 min (t1/2 = 25 min). The molecular mass of the unglycosylated enzyme is approximately 58 kDa. Culturing the cells in the presence of varying concentrations of tunicamycin, an inhibitor of N-glycosylation, revealed six species of 5'-nucleotidase after sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide electrophoresis. This indicates the presence of five N-linked oligosaccharide chains accounting for the difference between the 58-kDa polypeptide backbone and the 68-kDa species. The 68-kDa precursor is susceptible to cleavage by endo-beta-N-acetylglycosaminidase H; the 72-kDa mature protein is converted to several bands upon this treatment. This result indicates that part of 5'-nucleotidase keeps one or two high-mannose or hybrid chains in the mature form, even after prolonged pulse-chase labeling. The newly synthesized mature enzyme reaches the cell surface after 20-30 min. The half-life of 5'-nucleotidase is about 30 h in H4S cells. No immunoprecipitable 5'-nucleosidase is released into the culture medium.
