A 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) was highly purified from the soluble fraction of rat heart. The preparation appeared homogeneous by the criterion of polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was activated by ATP and ADP, and inhibited by Pi. When AMP was used as substrate, the velocity/substrate-concentration plot was sigmoidal. ATP or ADP changed the plot to hyperbolic and decreased S0.5. Pi increased both the sigmoidicity of the plot and S0.5. When IMP was used as substrate, the velocity/substrate plot was hyperbolic. ATP or ADP decreased Km and increased V. Pi changed the plot to sigmoidal and increased S0.5. Within the range of adenylate energy charge observed in surviving mammalian cells (0.7-0.9), the rate of AMP-hydrolysing activity catalysed by the 5'-nucleotidase increased sharply with decreasing energy charge. The highest activity was observed at an energy-charge value of about 0.6. The response was also observed in the presence of Pi. No change in IMP-hydrolysing activity was observed in the physiological range of adenylate energy charge, but in the presence of Pi the activity gradually increased with increasing energy charge. These results suggest the possibility that this enzyme participates in production of adenosine, a vasodilator, during hypoxia and in removal of IMP, which accumulates during the hypoxia, in the heart.

The time course of the extracellular reaction sequence ATP----ADP----AMP----adenosine has been examined during recirculation of substrate solutions over cultured pig aortic endothelial cells attached to polystyrene beads. This permits the study of reactions at volume to cell surface ratios approaching those of small blood vessels. When endothelial cells were presented with an initial bolus of ATP, high concentrations of the intermediates ADP and AMP developed before significant conversion of AMP to adenosine occurred. Further, the higher the initial ATP concentration, the slower the conversion of AMP to adenosine. Kinetic constants for each reaction were estimated by fitting simulated reaction curves to observed time courses. Apparent Km values estimated in this way agreed well with those reported for initial velocity measurements (ATPase = 300 microM; ADPase = 240 microM; and 5'-nucleotidase = 26 microM). The ratio of maximum velocities was ATPase:ADPase:AMPase = 6:1.5:1, with absolute values varying among cell batches. The data could only be fitted if the model incorporated inhibition of 5'-nucleotidase by ATP or ADP, and satisfactory fitting was achieved with a Ki value for ADP of 5 microM. These kinetic properties maximize the time separation of the intermediate pools. In vivo, at sites of platelet degranulation, they would create a time gap proportional to the size of the initial release between release of ADP (a proaggregatory milieu) and the appearance of adenosine (an anti-aggregatory milieu).

Among all the purified components from A. acutus venom, including ADPase, 5'-nucleotidase, phospholipase A2 and fibrinogenases, only the venom ADPase (50-100 micrograms/ml) shows marked inhibitory action on ADP (10 microM)-, collagen (10 micrograms/ml)- and sodium arachidonate (100 microM)-induced platelet aggregations of rabbit platelet-rich plasma. The venom 5'-nucleotidase (100 micrograms/ml) inhibited ADP-induced platelet aggregation by 31 +/- 4% (n = 4, P less than 0.05). Fibrinogenolytic enzymes (fractions I and IX, 100 micrograms/ml) did not significantly inhibit platelet aggregation induced by ADP (10 microM), collagen (10 micrograms/ml) or sodium arachidonate (100 microM). However, when the fibrinogenase (fraction IX, 100 micrograms/ml) was preincubated with platelet-rich plasma for 30 min it inhibited collagen (20 micrograms/ml)- and ADP (10 microM)-induced platelet aggregations by 34 +/- 9% (n = 4, P less than 0.05) and 35 +/- 6% (n = 4, P less than 0.05), respectively. The phospholipase A2 (100 micrograms/ml) did not affect platelet aggregation. The venom ADPase is a single chain polypeptide with a molecular weight of 94,000. The specific ADPase activity is estimated to be 4.3 mu moles Pi/min/mg of protein. It also possesses phosphodiesterase and weak 5'-nucleotidase activities.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus could grow with AMP, ADP or ATP as the sole source of carbon. In the presence of Cl-, a membrane-bound Cl(-)-dependent 5'-nucleotidase seemed to hydrolyze the nucleotides extracellularly, and then the cells took up the resulting adenosine. In the absence of Cl-, although no significant dephosphorylation of the nucleotides occurred, the cells could still grow with AMP, but not with ADP or ATP. Moreover, in the presence of Cl-, Zn2+ inhibited the 5'-nucleotidase, and inhibited growth of the cells with ADP or ATP, but not with AMP, as the carbon source. V. parahaemolyticus was unable to grow with adenine or ribose 5-phosphate. These results suggested that the cells might have an AMP transport system. In fact, Na+ uptake was observed on addition of AMP to a cell suspension in the absence of Cl-, indicating Na+-AMP cotransport.

The loss of the catabolic products of adenosine triphosphate in the form of purine nucleosides and oxypurines during ischemia and subsequent reperfusion may limit adenine nucleotide regeneration. This study compared the effects of infusion of inhibitors of the major reactions involved in the degradation of adenosine triphosphate to inosine on the postischemic recovery of high energy phosphate and myocardial function. Isolated rat hearts were made totally ischemic after a 5-min infusion of p1,p5-diadenosine pentaphosphate, alpha, beta-methylene adenosine diphosphate, nitrobenzyl-6-thioinosine, or erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl) adenine, which are inhibitors of adenylate kinase, 5'-nucleotidase, adenosine translocase, and adenosine deaminase, respectively. Following 30 min of ischemia, only hearts infused with alpha, beta-methylene adenosine diphosphate recovered significantly better ventricular function than did the control (P less than 0.05), but all hearts had increased adenosine triphosphate and creatine phosphate regeneration (P less than 0.05). The formation and washout of greater than 30% of the total adenine pool metabolites were not prevented by any drug. Nevertheless all manipulations of adenine metabolism resulted in recruitment of high energy phosphate during preischemic infusion which may have potential benefits in elective ischemic arrest.

A membrane fraction enriched in plasma membrane marker enzymes K+-dependent p-nitrophenyl phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphatase was prepared from rat parotid glands using Percoll self-forming gradient. This fraction contained an ATP-dependent CA2+ transport system which was distinct from those located on the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria of parotid glands. The Km for ATP was 0.57 +/- 0.07 mM (n = 3). Nucleotides other than ATP such as ADP, AMP, GTP, CTP, UTP or ITP were unable to support significant Ca2+ uptake. ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake displayed sigmoidal kinetics with respect to free Ca2+ concentration with a Hill coefficient of 2.02. The K0.5 for Ca2+ was 44 +/- 3.1 nM (n = 3) and the average Vmax was 13.5 +/- 1.1 nmol/min per mg of protein. The pH optimum was 7.2. Trifluorperazine inhibited Ca2+ transport with half maximal inhibition observed at 30.8 microM. Complete inhibition was observed at 70 microM trifluorperazine. Exogenous calmodulin however had no effect on the rate of transport. Na+ and K+ ions activated Ca2+ transport at 20 to 30 mM ion concentrations. Higher concentrations of Na+ or K+ were inhibitory.

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.

The adenine nucleotide pool of rabbit retina was labeled by an intravitreal injection in vivo of [3H]adenosine. Practically all the radioactivity was retained in the form of adenine nucleotides. The relative proportion of [3H]adenine nucleotides was the same as that of endogenous nucleotides. Potassium depolarization (43.6 mM) in vitro caused a rapid increase in the rate of release of radioactive purines. The radioactive material was composed of hypoxanthine, xanthine, inosine and trace amounts of adenine, adenosine and adenine nucleotides. The release of radioactive purines was delayed and reduced by the addition of the nucleoside inhibitor dipyridamole suggesting that the purines may be released in the form of nucleosides. Similarly, the addition of the ecto 5'-nucleotidase inhibitor alpha, beta-methylene ADP (AOPCP) did not alter the release of radioactivity or the composition of the released purines. Endogenous hypoxanthine, xanthine and inosine could be detected in the effluents, but there was only a very modest increase following potassium depolarization. There was a slight, but significant, decrease in the release of endogenous adenosine and increase in AMP after AOPCP. It is concluded that there is an intensive uptake and phosphorylation of adenosine in the rabbit retina. Depolarization induces release of radioactive purine nucleosides and bases. Most of these compounds appear to be released as such, but in addition there may be a small (maximally a few per cent of the total) fraction of the purines that are released as nucleotides.

1. A mouse liver plasma-membrane preparation was solubilized in an N-dodecylsarcosinate-Tris buffer, pH7.8, and the proteins and glycoproteins were separated by a rate-zonal centrifugation in sucrose-detergent gradients. 2. A peak of alkaline phosphodiesterase activity which sedimented ahead of the 5'-nucleotidase peak was associated with a major glycoprotein component of the plasma membrane. 3. The phosphodiesterase activity was then purified further by gel filtration and gave a single glycoprotein band after electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels. The apparent molecular weight of the polypeptide at pH7.4 and 8.9 was 128000-130000 and was independent of the polyacrylamide concentration. Electrophoresis in gels containing deoxycholate showed that the protein band was coincident with phosphodiesterase activity. 4. After two-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis, with agarose containing rabbit anti-(mouse plasma-membrane) antiserum as second dimension, the enzyme showed one component which was also coincident with the phosphodiesterase activity. 5. An amino acid composition of the glycoprotein is presented. Carbohydrate analysis indicated the presence of glucosamine, neutral sugars and sialic acid. 6. The enzyme was also a nucleotide pyrophosphatase, as shown by a similar enrichment during purification of activity towards ATP, NAD(+), UDP-galactose and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine. The phosphodiesterase activity, measured by using dTMP p-nitrophenyl ester as substrate, was competitively inhibited by nucleotide pyrophosphate substrates. The enzyme showed little or no activity towards RNA, cyclic AMP, AMP, ADP and glycerylphosphorylcholine. 7. The significance of this enzyme activity in the plasma membrane is discussed.

1. Extraction of a mouse liver plasma-membrane fraction with a detergent buffer, N-dodecylsarcosinate-Tris buffer (sarcosyl-Tris buffer), solubilized 90% of the protein and 70% of the 5'-nucleotidase activity. 2. The proteins of the sarcosyl-Tris buffer extract were fractionated by a rate-zonal centrifugation in a sucrose-detergent gradient. The major protein peak sedimented ahead of phospholipids, which mainly remained in the overlay. Glycoproteins were separated ahead of the protein peak. 3. The 5'-nucleotidase activity peak was associated with 5% of the protein applied to the gradient, and contained relatively few protein bands. 4. The 5'-nucleotidase was purified further by gel filtration on Sepharose and Sephadex columns equilibrated with sarcosyl-Tris buffer, to give a single glycoprotein band on sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The purified enzyme was lipid-free. 5. Electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels in sarcosyl-Tris buffers showed that the enzymic activity was coincident with the protein band. 6. The molecular weight suggested for the enzyme activity by gel filtration or centrifugation in sucrose gradients was 140000-150000. Sometimes, a minor enzyme peak of lower molecular weight was obtained. 7. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate indicated that as the polyacrylamide concentration was increased from 5 to 15%, the apparent molecular weight of the enzyme decreased from 130000 to 90000. 8. The evidence that 5'-nucleotidase is composed of two active and similar, if not identical, glycoprotein subunits and the role of detergent in effecting the separation of membrane proteins and glycoproteins are discussed. 9. Substrate requirements, pH optima and the nature of inhibition by an analogue of adenosine diphosphate are reported.
