Membrane vesicles can be prepared from murine lymphoid cells by nitrogen cavitation and fractionated by sedimentation through nonlinear sucrose density gradients. Two subpopulations of membrane vesicles, PMI and PMII, can be distinguished on the basis of sedimentation rate. The subcellular distribution of adenylate and guanylate cyclases in these membrane subpopulations have been compared with the distribution of a number of marker enzymes. Approximately 20-30% of the total adenylate and guanylate cyclase activity is located at the top of the sucrose gradient (soluble enzyme), the remainder of the activity being distributed in the PMI and PMII fractions (membrane-bound enzyme). More than 90% of the 5'-nucleotidase and NADH oxidase activities detected in lymphoid cell homogenates are located in PMI and PMII fractions, whereas succinate cytochrome c reductase activity is detected only in the PMII fractions. In addition, beta-galactosidase activity is distributed in the soluble and PMII fractions of the sucrose density gradients. On the basis of the fractionation patterns of these various enzyme activities, it appears that PMI fractions contain vesicles of plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum, whereas PMII fractions contain mitochondria, lysomes, and plasma membrane vesicles. Approximately 30-40% of the adenylate and guanylate cyclase activities in PMII can be converted to a PMI-like form following dialysis and resedimentation through a second nonlinear sucrose gradient. Adenylate and guanulate cyclases can be distinguished on the basis of sensitivity to nonionic detergents.

Human placental microsomal 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) was prepared free of alkaline phosphatase by isoelectric focusing. A total of seven electrophoretic variants were isolated during the preparation of six placentas. Only three to six variants were found in a single placenta. The isoelectric pH's were 6.70, 6.44, 6.23, 6.02, 5.76, 5.63 and 5.44. These were found to be composed of variable quantities of a large, medium and low molecular weight form. The apparent molecular weights of the medium and light form of the enzyme were 86 500 and 43 500, respectively, as estimated from Stokes radius and sedimentation velocity determinations. The electrophoretic variants were not distinguishable with respect to specific activity and Michaelis constants for AMP, GMP or CMP or inhibition by ATP, CTP or adenosine. These electrophoretic variants appeared to be pseudoisozymes based upon different states of aggregation of a common primary sequence. There was a wide range of substrate specificity among nucleoside 5'-monophosphates which included 2-deoxyribose compounds. With AMP as 100, substrate activity was: CMP, 122; NMN, 74; GMP, 68: IMP, 63; XMP, 28 and UDP-glucose, 68. The Michaelis constants for AMP, GMP and CMP ranged from 12-18 muM, from 33-67 muM and from 170-250 muM, respectively. Although 5'-nucleotidase was active in the absence of divalent cation, 5 mM MgCl2 stimulated the enzyme activity to 234% of control and shifted the pH optimum of 9.8 to a plateau from pH 7.4-9.8.

1. The kinetic properties of the 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) present in the cytosol of rat liver were investigated in relation to the conversion of adenine nucleotides into uric acid, with particular reference to the stimulation of this process by fructose. The enzyme was assayed by the release of Pi and by a new and more sensitive radiochemical procedure. 2. When IMP was used as substrate, the partially purified enzyme displayed almost hyperbolic kinetics (h = 1.1) with S0.5 = 1.2 mM. Similar kinetics were observed with GMP and other nucleoside 5'-monophosphates, except AMP. 3. Vmax. of the enzyme for AMP was about the same as for IMP, but the kinetics were sigmoidal (h = 1.6) with S 0.5 = 10 mM. 4. The hydrolysis of IMP was inhibited competitively by GMP. IMP, at concentrations up to 0.5 mM, had a paradoxical stimulatory action on the hydrolysis of 2-5 mM-AMP and was inhibitory at higher concentrations. 5. The activity of the enzyme towards AMP and IMP was stimulated by ATP and GTP, and inhibited by Pi. Activators and inhibitor approximately cancelled each others' effects. At pH 7.4, the enzymic activity with 0.2 mM-AMP was undetectable under physiological conditions. 6. It is concluded that, in the liver cell, AMP is not hydrolysed by the soluble 5'-nucleotidase, but that its degradation requires prior deamination to IMP.

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.

Inactivation of hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase caused by periodate-oxidized GMP is irreversible, even under the conditions of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and during affinity chromatography on GMP-Sepharose. Partial binding of the inhibitor to the enzyme protein can be demonstrated on dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis: The substrate, phosphoribosyl diphosphate in the presence of Mg2, and the product GMP protect the enzyme against inactivation. Periodate-oxidized GMP, AMP and oxidized purine nucleosides do not influence ribosephosphate pyrophosphokinase, 5'-nucleotidase, purine-nucleoside phosphorylase and guanylate kinase. A variety of other purine nucleosides and nucleotides, tested in their periodateoxidized form, do not lead to a compound comparable or superior to oxidized GMP in its effect on hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase. In an erythrocyte system it is clearly demonstrated that oxidized GMP cannot act across an intact cell membrane.

A procedure is presented for the rapid purification of a 5'-nucleotidase (5'-ribonucleotide phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.5) from potato tubers, involving ammonium sulphate fractionation and chromatography on phosphocellulose, DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-75. Application of this procedure results in a 6000-fold purification of the 5'-nucleotidase and the final preparations are virtually homogeneous, yielding only one protein band on electrophorsis in polyacrylamide gels in non-dissociating or dissociating conditions. The 5'-nucleotidase has a molecular weight of 50 000 from gel filtration experiments. Sodium dodecylsulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified 5'-nucleotidase reveals one major band of molecular weight 25 000. The 5'-nucleotidase is competitively inhibited by cyclic nucleotides, having micromolar Ki values for cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP at pH 5.0 and pH 8.0. The enzyme has a pH optimum of 5.0 with 5'-GMP as substrate. While 5'-AMP and 3'-AMP are hydrolyzed at comparable rates at pH 5.0, at pH 8.0 the rate of hydrolysis of 3'-AMP is only 4% of that with 5'-AMP. ADP, ATP and 2'-AMP are very poor substrates for the enzyme. The nucleotidase has micromolar Km values for nucleoside 5'-monophosphates other than 5'-NMP. A wide variety of divalent cations activate the 5'-nucleotidase.

During intraperiplasmic growth of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109J on Escherichia coli some 30 to 60% of the initial E. coli RNA-ribose disappeared as cell-associated orcinol-positive material. The levels of RNA-ribose in the suspending buffer after growth together with the RNA-ribose used for bdellovibrio DNA synthesis accounted for 50% or less of the missing RNA-ribose. With intraperiplasmic growth in the presence of added U-14C-labeled CMP, GMP, or UMP, radioactivity was found both in the respired CO2 and incorporated into the bdellovibrio cell components. The addition of exogenous unlabeled ribonucleotides markedly reduced the amounts of both the 14CO2 and 14C incorporated into the progeny bdellovibrios. During intraperiplasmic growth of B. bacteriovorus on [U-14C]ribose-labeled E. coli BJ565, ca. 74% and ca. 19% of the initial 14C was incorporated into the progeny bdellovibrios and respired CO2, respectively. Under similar growth conditions, the addition of glutamate substantially reduced only the 14CO2; however, added ribonucleotides reduced both the 14CO2 and the 14C incorporated into the progeny bdellovibrios. No similar effects were found with added ribose-5-phosphate. The distribution of 14C in the major cell components was similar in progeny bdellovibrios whether obtained from growth on [U-14C]ribose-labeled E. coli BJ565 or from E. coli plus added U-14C-labeled ribonucleotides. After intraperiplasmic growth of B. bacteriovorus on [5,6-3H-]uracil-[U-14C]ribose-labeled E. coli BJ565 (normal or heat treated), the whole-cell 14C/3H ratio of the progeny bdellovibrios was some 50% greater and reflected the higher 14C/3H ratios found in the cell fractions. B. bacteriovorus and E. coli cell extracts both contained 5'-nucleotidase, uridine phosphorylase, purine phosphorylase, deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase, transketolase, thymidine phosphorylase, phosphodeoxyribomutase, and transaldolase enzyme activities. The latter three enzyme activities were either absent or very low in cell extracts prepared from heat-treated E. coli cells. It is concluded that during intraperiplasmic growth B. bacteriovorus degrades some 20 to 40% of the ribonucleotides derived from the initial E. coli RNA into the base and ribose-1-phosphate moieties. The ribose-1-phosphate is further metabolized by B. bacteriovorus both for energy production and for biosynthesis, of non-nucleic acid cell material. In addition, the data indicate that during intraperiplasmic growth B. bacteriovorus can metabolize ribose only if this compound is available to it as the ribonucleoside monophosphate.

1. Activity of a cytoplasmic 5'-nucleotidase which preferentially hydrolyzes IMP and GMP (IMP-GMP 5'-nucleotidase) was determined by a specific immunochemical method in two species of birds and two species of mammals. 2. The activity was markedly high in avian liver, and it increased two-fold in response to a high protein diet in chicken liver. 3. In mammals, the activity was high in testis and spleen. In the rat, the activities in liver, kidney and heart extracts increased by about 30% in response to the high protein diet, while they increased three-fold in regenerating liver. 4. Low activities were detected in skeletal muscles and in erythrocytes of all the species studied.

Cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase has been implicated in the phosphorylation of certain nucleosides of therapeutic interest. In vitro, IMP and GMP serve as the optimal phosphate donors for this nucleoside phosphotransferase reaction. Existing assays for nucleoside phosphorylation effected by 5'-nucleotidase require a radiolabeled nucleoside as the phosphate acceptor and separation of the substrate-nucleoside from product-nucleotide has been accomplished either by a filter binding method or HPLC. However, detection of the phosphorylation of unlabeled nucleoside by HPLC is difficult since the ultraviolet absorbance of the phosphate donor, IMP, frequently obscures the absorbance of newly formed nucleotide. The use of ribavirin 5'-phosphate (RMP, 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide riboside 5-monophosphate) as the phosphate donor obviates this difficulty since this triazole heterocycle does not significantly absorb at the wavelengths used to detect most nucleoside analogs. Using this procedure, a 5'-nucleotidase activity from the 100,000 x g supernatant fraction of human T-lymphoblasts deficient in adenosine kinase, hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase, and deoxycytidine kinase, was characterized with regard to structure-activity relationships for certain inosine and guanosine analogs.

A cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase, acting preferentially on IMP and GMP, has been isolated from human colon carcinoma extracts. This enzyme activity catalyzes also the transfer of the phosphate group of 5'-nucleoside monophosphates (mainly, 5'-IMP, 5'-GMP, and their deoxycounterparts) to nucleosides (preferentially inosine and deoxyinosine, but also nucleoside analogs, such as 8-azaguanosine and 2',3'-dideoxyinosine). It has been proposed that the enzyme mechanism involves the formation of a phosphorylated enzyme as an intermediate which can transfer the phosphate group either to water or to the nucleoside. The enzyme is activated by some effectors, such as ATP and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate. Results indicate that the effect of these activators is mainly to favor the transfer of the phosphate of the phosphorylated intermediate to the nucleoside (i.e., the nucleoside phosphotransferase activity). This finding is in accordance with previous suggestions that cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase cannot be considered a pure catabolic enzyme.
