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.

5'-Nucleotidase was purified greater than 1000-fold from human placenta by treatment of plasma membranes with S. aureus phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C and affinity chromatography on Con A Sepharose and AMP-Sepharose. The resulting enzyme had a specific activity of greater than 5000 mumol/hr/mg protein and a subunit molecular weight of 73,000. Goat antibodies against 5'-nucleotidase inhibited enzyme activity and detected 5'-nucleotidase after Western blotting. These antibodies also recognized a soluble form of 5'-nucleotidase and residual membrane-bound 5'-nucleotidase which could not be released by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C treatment, suggesting that the three forms of the enzyme are structurally related. The soluble 5'-nucleotidase may be derived from the membrane-bound form by the action of an endogenous phospholipase C. The structural basis for the inability of some of the membrane-bound 5'-nucleotidase to be released by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C is unknown.

A simple method is described for achieving a good recovery and a partial purification of the membrane-bound 5'-nucleotidase (5'-N) from mouse lymphocytes. The experimental procedure is based upon plasma membrane isolation on polycationic beads and selective solubilization of the enzyme activity from bead-bound plasma membranes. With this method, more than 95% of the 5'-N activity detectable in the whole cell homogenates can be routinely recovered in a single fraction showing a 5'-N specific activity which is at least 60 times higher than that found in the crude homogenate. This method also provides a complete separation of 5'-N from the membrane-bound alkaline phosphatase (AP), as well as from any other interfering non-specific phosphatase. Since this method is rapid and highly reproducible even when small amounts of lymphocytes are available, it may be useful for detecting changes in 5'-N activity in the different T- and B-lymphocyte subpopulations.

The distribution of plasma membrane markers, the sodium pump [evaluated as ouabain-sensitive, potassium-stimulated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase (K+-pNPPase)], [3H]saxitoxin binding, and 5'-AMPase, was studied in the subcellular fractions prepared from the homogenates of the longitudinal smooth muscle/myenteric plexus of dog ileum. The K+-pNPPase activity and [3H]-saxitoxin binding were found to be predominantly associated with the synaptosomal fraction as indicated by the high level of these activities in the crude synaptosomal fraction and by the copurification of K+-pNPPase and [3H]saxitoxin binding, but not 5'-AMPase, with several synaptosomal markers during the fractionation of the crude synaptosomal fraction on density gradients. In contrast to the K+-pNPPase activity and [3H]saxitoxin binding, the 5'-AMPase activity was found to be concentrated in the microsomal pellet. Further fractionation of microsomes on density gradient resulted in copurification of 5'-AMPase but not K+-pNPPase or [3H]saxitoxin binding, with other smooth muscle plasma membrane-bound enzymes, such as high-affinity Ca2+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase, and Ca2+-ATPase. It was concluded that in the longitudinal smooth muscle/myenteric plexus, the sodium pump activity is present in higher density in the neuronal plasma membranes whereas 5'-AMPase activity is concentrated in the smooth muscle plasma membranes.

The effect upon human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) binding of a 90-min incubation of plasma membranes prepared from the corpora lutea of control and prostaglandin F2 alpha injected rats was studied. After incubation for 90 min with 1 mM CaCl2 at 40 degrees C, single point hCG binding assays at room temperature revealed a significant decrease in the degree of binding of approximately 50% in membrane samples prepared from regressed corpora lutea. The binding decrease in regressed samples did not occur if the incubation temperature was reduced to 35 degrees C or if calcium ion was replaced with magnesium. Scatchard analyses indicated that the decrease in binding capacity was the result of a loss of gonadotropin receptors rather than an affinity shift. Specific activities of two membrane-bound enzymes (Na+-K+ ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase) did not change in a correlative fashion during the incubation. In previous studies the same in vitro conditions caused a substantial and significant decrease in membrane fluidity, as determined by fluorescence polarization. Thus it appears that the membrane rigidification is of a specific nature and interferes with gonadotropin binding during luteolysis.

Two plasma membrane fractions from ascites tumour cells with differences in vesicle size were isolated by gel-exclusion chromatography on Sephacryl S-1000. Fraction 1 appeared in the void volume and had a vesicle diameter in the range 300-400 nm. Fraction 3, with an equilibrium constant (Kd) of 0.58, consisted of vesicles between 100 and 200 nm in diameter as measured by routine size analysis with the electron microscope and by calibration of the column with latex beads. The appearance of two plasma membrane fractions could also be confirmed by iodination of the surface membrane prior to fractionation. This gel chromatographic procedure represents a rapid and convenient method for the isolation of membrane material, which was enriched between five- and fourteen-fold based on the specific activity of the membrane-bound marker enzymes. Fraction 1 contained small amounts of lysosomal and Golgi membranes, and fraction 3 some material of the Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum. The major portion of the contaminating membraneous material remained on the column and could be eluted with high salt buffer. The two plasma membrane fractions revealed some differences in 5'-nucleotidase specific activity and in the protein pattern, especially in the higher molecular weight range, as shown by sodium dodecyl sulphate gel electrophoresis.

The isolation of plasma membrane from human peripheral blood monocytes is described. Monocytes were isolated by centrifugal elutriation, to eliminate an adherence step, thus minimizing functional and surface antigenic alterations to the cells. Monocytes were surface-labelled with a radiolabelled monoclonal antibody, 125I-WVH-1, and then disrupted by nitrogen cavitation. Membranes were separated according to equilibrium buoyant density by isopycnic centrifugation on a sucrose gradient. The subcellular membranes were localized using marker enzymes for the plasma membrane, 5'-nucleotidase and leucine 2-naphthylamidase (leucine aminopeptidase), and for intracellular membranes: galactosyltransferase (Golgi), arylsulfatase C (endoplasmic reticulum), monoamine oxidase (mitochondria), catalase (peroxisomes), beta-hexosaminidase and beta-glucuronidase (lysosomal vesicles) and lactate dehydrogenase (cytosol). The monoclonal antibody 125I-WVH-1 was shown to label the plasma membrane, as judged by known markers, and represents a highly specific trace label, applicable to the use of plasma membrane as an immunogen for monoclonal antibody production. The NAD-splitting enzyme, NAD+ nucleosidase, was detected and its presence on the plasma membrane was demonstrated. The subcellular localization of non-specific esterase in human mononuclear phagocytes is controversial. No evidence was found for alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase activity on the plasma membrane or in lysosomal vesicles. However, a membrane-bound esterase in fractions with properties similar to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum was detected.

Rat liver microsomal fractions have been equilibrated in various types of linear density gradients. 15 fractions were collected and assayed for 27 constituents. As a result of this analysis microsomal constituents have been classified, in the order of increasing median density, into four groups labeled a, b, c, and d. Group a includes: monoamine oxidase, galactosyltransferase, 5'-nucleotidase, alkaline phosphodiesterase I, alkaline phosphatase, and cholesterol; group b: NADH cytochrome c reductase, NADPH cytochrome c reductase, aminopyrine demethylase, cytochrome b(5), and cytochrome P 450; group c: glucose 6-phosphatase, nucleoside diphosphatase, esterase, beta-glucuronidase, and glucuronyltransferase; group d: RNA, membrane-bound ribosomes, and some enzymes probably adsorbed on ribosomes: fumarase, aldolase, and glutamine synthetase. Analysis of the microsomal fraction by differential centrifugation in density gradient has further dissociated group a into constituents which sediment more slowly (monoamine oxidase and galactosyltransferase) than those of groups b and c, and 5'-nucleotidase, alkaline phosphodiesterase I, alkaline phosphatase, and the bulk of cholesterol which sediment more rapidly (group a2). The microsomal monoamine oxidase is attributed, at least partially, to detached fragments of external mitochondrial membrane. Galactosyltransferase belongs to the Golgi complex. Group a2 constituents are related to plasma membranes. Constituents of groups b and c and RNA belong to microsomal vesicles derived from the endoplasmic reticulum. These latter exhibit a noticeable biochemical heterogeneity and represent at the most 80% of microsomal protein, the rest being accounted for by particles bearing the constituents of groups a and some contaminating mitochondria, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Attention is called to the operational meaning of microsomal subfractions and to their cytological complexity.

Some properties and subcellular localization of adenosine diphosphatase (ADPase) activity from rat heart have been investigated. The pH optimum was 7.4, maximal activity was found with 5 mM MgCl2, and the apparent Km was 20 microM. ADPase activity was strongly inhibited by NaF and AppNHp, and to a lesser extent by AMP and GppNHp. The enzyme was not inhibited by p-nitrophenylphosphate, beta-glycerophosphate, or pyridoxal phosphate. The distribution of ADPase activity in subcellular fractions obtained by differential centrifugation parallel ouabain-sensitive (Na+-K+)ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase activities, suggesting a plasma membrane-bound localization. The functional significance of ADPase in adenosine production and hemostasis is discussed.

The release of plasma-membrane-bound enzymes by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C obtained from Bacillus thuringiensis was investigated. Among the ectoenzymes of plasma membrane tested, alkaline phosphodiesterase I was released markedly from rat kidney cortex slices, in addition to alkaline phosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase. Other membrane-bound enzymes; alanine aminopeptidase, leucine aminopeptidase, dipeptidyl peptidase, leucine aminopeptidase, dipeptidyl peptidase IV, esterase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase could not be liberated from the treated slices. Alkaline phosphodiesterase I was released linearly from rat kidney slices with the concentration of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, but little enzyme was released from rat liver slices. Alkaline phosphodiesterase I separated from kidney tissue with n-butanol still retained phosphatidylinositol and was transformed into a lower molecular weight form by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. This suggests an important function for phosphatidylinositol in the binding of alkaline phosphodiesterase I to the plasma membrane of rat kidney cells. The alkaline phosphodiesterase I released from rat kidney had a molecular weight of about 240,000 and an isoelectric point (pI) of 5.4. The enzyme hydrolyzed the phosphodiester linkage of p-nitrophenyl-thymidine 5'-monophosphate at pH 8.9 and had a Km value of 0.3 mM. The enzyme was activated by Mg2+ and Ca2+, but was inhibited by EDTA. Strong inhibition took place on the addition of adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate or the nucleotide pyrophosphates, i.e., UDP-galactose and alpha, beta-methylene ATP.
