Portions of closed jejunal biopsies from the dog were homogenised and their organelles separated by isopycnic centrifugation on continuous sucrose density gradients. The distributions of marker enzymes for the principal organelles were determined using highly sensitive assay procedures. The following organelles, with assayed marker enzymes and modal densities between brackets were characterised: peroxisomes (catalase, 1.21); brush borders (zinc-resistant alpha-glucosidase, leucyl-beta-naphthyl-amidase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase, 1.20); lysosomes (N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, alpha-mannosidase, 1.19); mitochondria (malate dehydrogenase, 1.18); endoplasmic reticulum (Tris-resistant alpha-glucosidase, 1.16); basal-lateral membranes (5'-nucleotidase, 1.11) and cytosol (lactate dehydrogenase). Homogenisation in isotonic sucrose containing digitonin (0.12 mmol/litre) selectively disrupted lysosomes and increased the equilibrium density of brush border and basal-lateral membranes. This procedure will be used to study the subcellular pathology of naturally occurring intestinal disease in the dog.

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.

The regenerating forelimb of the adult newt, Notophthalmus viridescens was investigated for 5'-nucleotidase (5' ribonucleotide phosphohydrolase, 3.1.3.5) acitivity. The newt's humeri were surgically removed, and after a twenty-one-day recovery period, the forelimbs amputated above the elbows. Regenerates were sampled at predetermined times for specific phases in the progress of regeneration, frozen, sectioned in a cryostat, and the sections fixed in 10% cold formol calcium. The Wachstein and Meisel [25] lead procedure at neutral pH was used predominately in these experiments, although tests were also conducted with Gomori's [14] calcium, Allen's [21] highly alkaline procedures. The substrates used to obtain specific enzyme reactions were adenine, cytosine, guanine, uracil and inosine 5'-monophosphate nucleotides. Sodium beta-glycerophosphate served as a non-specific phosphomonoesterase substrate, distilled water replaced substrate, and inhibitors such as zinc and cyanide ions were used as control measures to assist in increasing the precision in interpreting the results obtained. The most reactive 5'-nucleotidase (5'-Nase) loci were in the walls of the blood vascular system, mysial and neural sheaths, dermis, and periosteum: the principal cells involved were macrophages, endothelium of blood vessels, and fibrocytes of connective tissues. A moderate enzyme response was elicited from secretory cells of some of the subcutaneous glands, hypertrophied chondrocytes and osteogenic centers, chondrocytes in the articular regions and within red blood cells and leucocytes. Normal, injured and degenerating, or regenerating striated muscle and nerve fibers were judged unreactive for 5'-Nase. The epidermis and wound epithelium displayed negative responses for 5'-Nase. Cells forming the regeneration blastema were 5'-Nase reactive during the early formative phase, but with growth and development of the blastema into bulb and conic forms, these cells did not respond for this enzyme-activity. One suggestion offered is that the absence of 5'-Nase in cells of the blastema may be related to the lack of an adequate blood-vascular supply. Several functions of 5'-Nase in normal and regenerating tissues are discussed. A basic conclusion reached is that 5'-nucleotidase hydrolyses may be more involved in fundamental anabolic than in catabolic metabolism.

The characteristics of 5'-nucleotidase in a clonal line (C6) of rat glioma cells has been examined in detail. The cells liberated 6.80 +/- 0.33 mumol of inorganic phosphate/mg of cell protein/hour, producing nearly equimolar amounts of adenosine and inorganic phosphate from AMP in the extracellular fluid. No 5'-nucleotidase was released by the cells into the medium. Most of the 5'-nucleotidase activity was found to be located in the outer surface of the plasma membrane of C6 cells and rapidly accessible to exogenous AMP, by experiments based upon differential labeling of extracellular and intracellular compartments with 32P and 33P. The ecto-enzyme was active in the absence of divalent cations. However, Mn2+ or Co2+ were somewhat stimulatory. Zn2+ suppressed activity very markedly. The relationship of enzymatic reaction velocity to pH was complex, with an optimum at pH 7.4 for all substrates tested. The ecto-5'-nucleotidase readily hydrolyzed 5'-AMP and 5'-UMP. Other 5'-nucleoside monophosphates, including 5'-deoxy-AMP, were also hydrolyzed, but more slowly; 2'- or 3'-nucleoside monophosphates were not attacked. The ecto-5'-nucleotidase in the intact cell obeyed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Apparent Km for AMP was 0.22 mM; apparent Km values for other substrates were similar and ranged from 0.16 to 0.18 mM. ADP exerted a very powerful inhibitory effect, behaving as a competitive inhibitor, and 5'-UMP behaved as a strictly competitive substrate for 5'-AMP. ATP and ITP were inhibitory. Of these, ITP served to increase Km for AMP. ATP did likewise, but also greatly lowered Vmax. These findings indicate that the intact cell is capable of rapid hydrolysis of exogenous 5'-AMP, to produce adenosine at the cell surface at a rate which responds directly to extracellular AMP concentration but which can be suppressed by extracellular ADP or ATP.

Lectin inactivation of the cell surface enzyme 5'-nucleotidase has been studied in intact 13762 mammary ascites cells, cell membrane envelopes, membrane vesicles, and solubilized membranes as a means of understanding the effects of lectins on biochemical processes and the behavior of the enzyme in the membranes. The properties of the enzyme are essentially the same in the intact cells and in membrane envelopes prepared after zinc treatment of the cells. The enzyme has a Km of 25 muM and is inhibited by concanavalin A (Con A) by an apparent noncompetitive process, which is reversed by alpha-methylmannoside. Half-maximal inhibition requires about 50 mug of Con A per mg of membrane protein. The inhibition for the intact cells and membrane envelopes does not exhibit significant cooperativity. Membrane vesicles, prepared by EDTA extraction, and solubilized membranes show differences in the behavior of the nucleotidase toward Con A even though the Km of the enzyme (25 muM) and inactivation (noncompetitive) are essentially unchanged. The Hill coefficient for the inactivation process in solubilized membranes and membrane vesicles is shifted to near 2, indicating significant cooperativity in the Con A-enzyme interaction. It is suggested that this change in cooperativity may reflect a different mode of interaction with the membrane and increased enzyme mobility, although an alteration in enzyme subunit interactions cannot be ruled out at present.

5'-Nucleotidase has been purified from rat glioblastoma cells (Rugli cells). The enzyme has been solubilized from plasma membranes by using Triton X-100 and CHAPS. Two affinity chromatographies on concanavalin A and 5'-AMP-Sepharose render the purified enzyme with a high specific activity (76.36 mumol AMP.min-1.mg-1). The purified enzyme gives a single polypeptide band on SDS-PAGE with an apparent molecular mass of 74 kDa. Active forms with an apparent molecular mass of 135 kDa and 268 kDa are observed when the purified enzyme is analyzed by gel filtration in the presence of either 0.6% sodium deoxycholate or 0.1% Triton X-100, respectively. The purified 5'-nucleotidase presents optimum activity at pH 7.8-8.1 either in the presence or in the absence of Mg2+. A linear Arrhenius plot is observed in the 25-46 degrees C temperature range and an activation energy of 33.7 KJ/mol is calculated. The enzyme is inhibited by EDTA; the activity is partially restored by different divalent cations as Zn2+, Mn2+, and Co2+. The hydrolysis of nucleosides 5'-monophosphate shows Michaelis kinetic. The enzyme is inhibited by nucleosides di- and triphosphate. 5'-Nucleotidase is a glycoprotein, being its activity inhibited at different extent by various lectins.

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to investigate the secondary structure of 5'-nucleotidase from bull seminal plasma (BSP). Spectra of protein in both D2O and H2O were analyzed by deconvolution and second derivative methods in order to observe the overlapping components of the amide I band. The protein, which is made up of two apparently identical subunits and which contains two zinc atoms, was studied in its native form, in the presence of dithiotreitol (DTT) and after removal of the two zinc atoms by means of nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA). Deconvolved and second derivative spectra of amide I band showed that the native protein contains mostly beta-sheet structure with a minor content of alpha-helix. The quantitative analysis of the amide I components was performed by a curve-fitting procedure which revealed 54% beta-sheet, 18% alpha-helix, 22% beta-turns and 6% unordered structure. The second derivative and deconvolved spectra of amide I band showed that no remarkable changes in the secondary structure of 5'-nucleotidase were induced by either DTT or NTA. These results were confirmed by the curve-fitting analysis where little or no changes occurred in the relative content of amide I components when the protein was treated with DTT or with NTA. Major changes, however, were observed in the thermal denaturation behavior of the protein. The native protein showed denaturation at temperatures between 70 and 75 degrees C, while the maximum of denaturation was observed between 65 and 70 degrees C and between 55 and 60 degrees C in the presence of NTA and DTT, respectively. The results obtained indicate that the two separate subunits of the protein have essentially the same secondary structure as that of the native enzyme.

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.

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.
