5'-Nucleotidase, assayed as 5'-AMPase, has been extensively characterized and established as a stable, quantitative plasma membrane marker in HeLa S3 cells. The membrane 5'-AMPase has a Km of 7.0 microM. Relative affinities of the other 5'-mononucleotides for the enzyme are 5'-GMP > 5'-TMP > 5'-UMP > 5'-CMP. There are activity optima at pH7 and 10; the latter is Mg(2+)-dependent. The membrane preparations have a small amount of acid phosphatase activity that is distinct from 5'-AMPase activity but no alkaline phosphatase. AOPCP, ADP, and ATP are strongly inhibitory. Mg2+, Ca2+, or Co2+ additions do not affect the pH 7.0 activity; Mn2+ activates slightly, whereas Zn2+, Cu2+, and Ni2+ are inhibitory. EDTA slowly inactivates, but removal of the EDTA without the addition of divalent cations restores activity. The inactivation is also substantially reversed by Co2+ or Mn2+, but reactivability by divalent cations decreases with time in EDTA. ConA strongly inhibits, and alpha-methyl-D-mannoside or glucose (the latter much less efficiently) relieves the inhibition, indicating that the 5'-AMPase is a glycoprotein. Histidine is also inhibitory. Ouabain, phloretin, cytochalasin B, cysteine, phenyl-alanine, MalNEt, and IAA are without effect. 5'-AMPase activity codistributes with pulse-bound [3H]ouabain when either of two cell fractionation procedures are used. The 5'-AMPase activity per cell is constant at different cell densities in exponentially growing cells, and activity per unit cell volume remains constant throughout the cell cycle. These properties, together with its absence in other organelles, its stability to storage, its insensitivity to certain experimental manipulations, and its general insensitivity to inhibitors of specific transport systems, make 5'-AMPase a useful quantitative marker in studies on the regulation of HeLa membrane transport systems. Key Words: HeLa, 5'-nucleotidase, plasma membrane marker, non-specific phosphatases, divalent ions, ConA, AOPCP, cell cycle, mitochondria, transport inhibitors.

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.

5'-Nucleotidase I (N-I) from rabbit heart was purified to homogeneity. After ammonium sulfate precipitation, the purification involved chromatography on phosphocellulose, DEAE-Sepharose, AMP-agarose, and ADP-agarose. The pure enzyme has a specific activity of 318 mumol (mg of protein)-1 min-1. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate yields a subunit molecular weight of 40,000. N-I is activated by ADP but not by ATP, in contrast to the 5'-nucleotidase (N-II) purified by Itoh et al. (1986), which is activated by ATP and, less well, by ADP. N-I displays sigmoidal saturation kinetics in the absence of ADP and hyperbolic kinetics in the presence of ADP. Partially purified N-I was previously shown to prefer AMP over IMP as substrate (Truong et al., 1988); this has been confirmed for pure N-I. Comparison of AMP and ADP concentrations reported to occur in heart with the kinetic behavior of N-I implicates N-I as the enzyme responsible for producing adenosine under conditions leading to a rise in ADP and AMP, such as hypoxia or increased workload. N-I is not activated by the ADP analogue adenosine 5'-methylenediphosphonate (AOPCP) and is only weakly inhibited by relatively high concentrations of AOPCP, in contrast to 5'-nucleotidase from plasma membrane, which is powerfully inhibited by this analogue. N-I shows an absolute dependence on Mg2+ ions. Mn2+ and Co2+ ions can replace Mg2+ ions as activator; Ni2+ and Fe2+ are much less effective, while Ca2+, Ba2+, Zn2+, and Cu2+ fail to activate the enzyme.

A (H+ + K+)-ATPase-enriched membrane fraction derived from the fundic portion of hog gastric mucosa was obtained by a combination of differential and repeated 7% Ficoll gradient centrifugation. The microsomal membrane fraction isolated by repeated 7% Ficoll gradient centrifugation was free of ouabain-sensitive (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase and succinate dehydrogenase; and it was highly enriched in (H+ + K+)-ATPase and K(+)-stimulated p-nitrophenylphosphatase (p-NPPase). The (H+ + K+)-ATPase had a pH optimum of 7.4 and was stimulated by Tl+, K+, Rb+ and NH4+ with Ka values of 0.0667, 0.526, 0.667 and 3.03 mM, respectively, at this pH. On the other hand, monovalent cations such as Na+, Li+ and (CH3)4N+ as well as divalent cations such as Cu2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Sr2+ and Cd2+ inhibited this enzyme activity concentration-dependently. Ouabain and oligomycin had no effect, whereas omeprazole, a specific (H+ + K+)-ATPase inhibitor, inhibited this enzyme activity in a pH-dependent manner. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed a major band (greater than or equal to 90% of protein) at 97,400 daltons, which was phosphorylated in the presence of Mg2+ and [gamma-32P]-ATP and dephosphorylated in the presence of K+. The present method was very simple, and the (H+ + K+)-ATPase activity of the microsomal fraction obtained by this method was much higher compared with those obtained by other methods such as free-flow electrophoresis.

Using flame atomic absorption spectrometry the tight association of zinc to three different purified 5'-nucleotidases at a molar ratio of 2 could be proven. These 5'-nucleotidases purified from bull seminal plasma (BSP), chicken gizzard (CG) and snake venom (SV) are thus zinc metalloproteins. Removal of zinc results in the loss of their AMPase activity, which could be fully restored after readdition of zinc at a molar ratio of 2, for BSP and CG, and 1.5, for SV 5'-nucleotidase. Reactivation of their AMPase activity after the removal of zinc could also be obtained by addition of cobalt and copper ions, which were found to also bind with a molar ratio of 2 to the three 5'-nucleotidases tested.

Because adenosine plays a role in the regulation of glomerular filtration rate and of the release of renin, we examined the possibility of a local source for this mediator. We found that rat cultured glomerular mesangial cells converted 5'-AMP into adenosine. The properties of the enzyme involved in the reaction were those of an ecto-5' nucleotidase: (1) the products of the reaction were generated in the extracellular fluid although no 5'-nucleotidase was released by the cells into the medium; (2) identical activities were found for cultured cells in situ and sonicated cells; (3) the diazonium salt of sulfanilic acid which is a nonpenetrating reagent inhibited up to 75% of the enzyme activity. Ecto-5'-nucleotidase activity of intact cells obeyed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Apparent Km for 5'-AMP was 0.32 mM. 5'-UMP was a strictly competitive inhibitor. ADP exerted a very powerful inhibitory effect and behaved also as a competitive inhibitor. ATP was inhibitory both by increasing Km and by decreasing Vmax. Ecto-5'-nucleotidase was active in the absence of divalent cations. However, Mg2+, Ca2+, Co2+ and Mn2+ were stimulatory. Zn2+ and Cu2+ suppressed the activity. Concanavalin A, a plant lectin, was markedly inhibitory, suggesting that a glycoprotein moiety was necessary to express enzyme activity. Ecto-5'-nucleotidase activity was not modified during phagocytosis of serum-treated zymosan by mesangial cells. Rat cultured glomerular epithelial cells exhibited a 5'-nucleotidase activity which was 4 times lower than that of the mesangial cells in primary culture.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Specific binding of [67Cu]ceruloplasmin to plasma membrane containing preparations from rat tissues was shown in the presence of an excess of nonradioactive Cu(II) or ceruloplasmin. With Cu(II) there was positive cooperativity and an apparent KD of 10(-7) M. The effects of both "cold" ligands was partly additive. No "specific" binding was shown with Zn(II), unrelated proteins and after boiling the membranes. Total and specific binding of [67Cu]ceruloplasmin were 2-7 fold greater for heart and brain than for liver preparations, per g tissue or per mg protein, +/- correction for yield of 5'-nucleotidase. Cu(II) also inhibited uptake of [67Cu] from ceruloplasmin by CHO cells, but monensin did not, suggesting uptake of ceruloplasmin Cu occurs at the cell surface.

The effects of zinc on the enzymes of femoral tissue were investigated in weanling rats that had been given zinc sulfate (1.0 mg Zn2+/100 g body wt) p.o. for 3 days. Administration of zinc caused a marked elevation of alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase activities, whereas it did not cause significant changes in succinate dehydrogenase, 5'-nucleotidase, ATPase, pyrophosphatase and beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase activities. The effect of zinc was greater on alkaline phosphatase of the femoral diaphysis. Zinc content of the femoral diaphysis was raised significantly by administration of zinc. The addition of zinc in concentrations of 10(-2)-10(2) microM did not produce a significant increase in alkaline phosphatase activity in the femoral diaphysis, indicating that zinc could not activate the enzyme. Administration of cycloheximide or actinomycin D completely inhibited the increase in alkaline phosphatase activity produced by administration of zinc. DNA content of the femoral diaphysis, but not epiphysis, was increased markedly by administration of zinc. The increases in both alkaline phosphatase activity and DNA content of the femoral diaphysis were not caused by administration of copper, manganese, cobalt, nickel and chromium(III). The present investigation suggests that zinc may induce the increase in alkaline phosphatase related to DNA synthesis and, as a result, stimulate bone growth.

The 5'-nucleotidase activity of the purified cytoplasmic fraction preparation of bovine brain does not depend on the presence of the divalent metal ions Mg2+, Ca2+, and Cu2+ in the incubation medium. The Zn2+ ion (0.5 mM) causes total enzyme inhibition. Although EDTA and 8-hydroxyquinoline inhibit the 5'-nucleotidase from this source, it has not been possible to show the existence of metal ions in the enzyme molecule. The inhibition of 5'nucleotidase by EDTA is progressive and irreversible; when the enzyme is not preincubated with EDTA, the inhibition is overridden by metal ions. The purines (except xanthine, 0.3 mM), pyrimidines, and their nucleosides do not affect the 5'-nucleotidase activity. The nucleoside di- and triphosphates are competitive enzyme inhibitors against 5'-AMP as substrate. The Ki values of the diphosphates are lower than those determined for the corresponding triphosphates. The inhibition caused by the above nucleotides is reversed, partly or wholly, by Mg2+, depending on the molar ratio between the effectors. The inhibitory action of the -SH group reagents on the 5'-nucleotidase activity is weak and reversible.

(1) Chemiluminenscence of rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes was stimulated by a phagocytic stimulus, latex beads (diameter = 1.01 micrometer). The maximum chemiluminescent intensity increased with bead concentration in the range 0.2--20 x 10(9) beads/ml. This response was abolished in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ (1 mM EGTA). (2) Chemiluminescence could also be stimulated by the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 in the presence of extra-cellular calcium. (3) Addition of human serum, as a source of complement, to rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes preincubated with anti-5'-nucleotidase serum resulted in a rapid stimulation of chemiluminescence, after a lag of about 40 s. (4) The stimulation of chemiluminescence by antibody plus complement was not the result of cell lysis because (i) no significant release of lactate dehydrogenase was detected at the time of the chemiluminescent response (ii) chemiluminescence was associated with the cells and not the surrounding media (iii) cell lysis did not produce chemiluminescence. (5) Chemiluminescence stimulated by antibody plus complement or by beads was inhibited by the 'calmodulin-blocker', trifluoperazine (50% inhibiton with approximately 20--30 microM). (6) Cu2+ (10(-4) M), which can inhibit C9 action, inhibited the rapid rise in chemiluminescence induced by antibody plus complement, but not the bead-induced chemiluminescence. (7) Depletion of C9 from human serum markedly inhibited the complement induced chemiluminescence response. Addition of purified C9 restored the response. (8) It was concluded that formation of the terminal complement attack complex at the surface of rat polymorphonuclear leucocytes induces a Ca2+-dependent chemiluminescence in the cells, in the absence of cell lysis.
