Three distinct 5'-phosphomonoesterase activities were isolated from soluble fractions of human placenta, cultured human T and B lymphoblasts, and rat liver using 5'-AMP-sepharose 4B affinity chromatography. We define these activities as "low-Km" 5'-nucleotidase, "high-Km" 5'-nucleotidase, and nonspecific phosphatase. High-Km 5'-nucleotidase was eluted with 0.5 M NaCl, low-Km 5'-nucleotidase was eluted with 10 mM ADP, and nonspecific phosphatase was not retained on the column. We have found significant variability in the relative content of high- to low-Km activities in the tissues studied with the ratios ranging from 5.5 to 264. The properties were studied after further purification. The molecular mass of the low-Km enzymes ranged from 72.5 to 209 kDa, optimum pH ranged from 7.4 to 9.0, Km for AMP ranged from 7 to 15 microM, and Km for IMP ranged from 10 to 26 microM. The molecular mass of the high-Km enzymes ranged from 182 to 210 kDa, pH optimum was at 6.5, Km for AMP ranged from 3.0 to 9.4 mM, and the Km for IMP ranged from 0.3 to 0.5 mM. The data indicate that the soluble low- and high-Km 5'-nucleotidase coexist in the mammalian cells and tissues studied. These observations suggest a complex system for the regulation of nucleoside 5'-monophosphate dephosphorylation.

Biologically active concentrations of potently vasoactive and platelet-active adenine nucleotides are generated in plasma by a variety of pathophysiological mechanisms. Although there is evidence that ATP and ADP are inactivated by endothelial ectonucleotidases, there has been little attempt to study the metabolic routes of their catabolism in blood or to assess the contribution of this process to their clearance in vivo. Therefore, we have studied the rates and patterns of catabolism of ATP, ADP, and AMP in whole blood, plasma, and isolated blood cells. Rates of degradation of each nucleotide in cell-free plasma ranged from 0.07-0.32 nmol/min/ml with 1 microM substrates to 1.1-3.6 nmol/min/ml with 100 microM substrates. The pattern of catabolism indicated that sequential dephosphorylation from ATP----ADP----AMP----adenosine occurs. In whole blood, the pattern was similar although ATP and ADP (but not AMP) breakdown was more rapid. This was due to leukocyte ectonucleotidase activity. The use of selective inhibitors demonstrated that catabolism was not due to nonspecific phosphatase activity and that plasma 5'-nucleotidase is distinct from ATPase or ADPase. In leukocytes, ATPase and ADPase activities were distinguishable, and each contributed substantially to the rates of catabolism in whole blood. Leukocyte 5'-nucleotidase did not measurably contribute to AMP dephosphorylation in blood. By comparison, ecto-ATPase and ecto-ADPase activities on cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells were similar to those on leukocytes while endothelial 5'-nucleotidase per 10(6) cells was equivalent to the soluble activity in 1 ml of blood or plasma.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

New 5'-nucleotidase-inhibitory polyphenols named NPF-86IA, NPF-86IB, NPF-86IIA and NPF-86IIB were isolated from the seeds of Areca catechu L. The ability of the inhibitors to precipitate gelatin was investigated by microturbidimetry. These inhibitors produced weak turbidity. As 5'-nucleotidase is a kind of phosphatase, we examined the effects of these inhibitors on alkaline and acidic phosphatases. While they showed moderate inhibitory effects on the activity of acidic phosphatases, they did not have any significant effect on the activity of alkaline phosphatase. Therefore, they showed a higher inhibitory effect on the 5'-nucleotidase than the other phosphatases, Murine macrophages were directly stimulated by the 5'-nucleotidase inhibitors.

AMP-sepharose 4B has been widely used as a general ligand affinity chromatography for purification of AMP deaminase, 5'-nucleotidase, adenosine kinase and other adenine nucleotide metabolizing enzymes. Since these enzymes generally differ in their kinetic properties related to the values of Km for AMP and analogous compounds, it was assumed that there may be a specific elution pattern of some of the enzymes which would enable sequential elution from the column during a single run. Using 0.5 M NaCl, 10 mM ATP and 5 mM adenosine as eluting agents, it was possible to separate on AMP-sepharose column AMP deaminase "high Km" and "low Km" 5'-nucleotidase and adenosine kinase. Adenylate kinase, adenosine deaminase and nonspecific phosphatase did not bind to the column. Using human placental extract, AMP deaminase, "high Km" and "low Km" 5'-nucleotidase and adenosine kinase were purified 2.8, 2.9, 105 and 1240 fold, respectively. AMP deaminase and "high Km" 5'-nucleotidase were further separated using phosphocellulose column chromatography and the final purification was 227 and 143 fold, respectively. The specific activities of purified enzyme preparations were 9.1, 1.0, 0.4 and 0.5 mumols/min/mg protein of AMP deaminase, "high Km" 5'-nucleotidase and adenosine kinase, respectively. This approach provides a rapid method for initial purification of these enzymes from crude soluble extracts.

Recently cytochemical evidence has been presented for a novel enzyme activity, i.e. 'manganese-dependent pyrimidine 5'-nucleotidase (MDPNase)' activity in the rod outer segments (ROS) of rat retinas in situ and in isolated rat ROS. The present biochemical study was undertaken to seek further evidence for this enzyme activity using an independent method. A series of enzyme assays was carried out to test for MDPNase activity in Triton extracts of rat ROS isolated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Hydrolysis of the substrate, cytidine-5'-monophosphate, was measured spectrophotometrically and expressed as microgram of released inorganic phosphorus hr-1 mg-1 protein in the sample. The results showed that the ROS extracts contained enzyme activity (18.1 +/- 3.8) that was increased 5-6-fold (102.3 +/- 10.6) in the presence of 7.4 mM MnCl2. The enzyme activity was not enhanced by Mg2+ ions (19.0 +/- 7.7) and was strongly inhibited by 10-20 mM NaF (11.8 +/- 2.9). Assays for substrate specificity revealed that the Mn2+-stimulated phosphatase activity was specific for 5'-nucleotides. Pyrimidine nucleotides (5'-CMP and 5'-UMP) were the preferred substrates. Comparison of enzymatic hydrolysis of 5'-CMP and 5'-AMP over a pH range from 4.5 to 8.0 revealed that at acid pH, the majority of the observed 5'-nucleotidase activity (82% at pH 5.0, 58% at pH 5.5) was manganese dependent, whereas at neutral pH and above, most of the enzyme activity was unaffected by the presence of Mn2+ ions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Hydrolysis of 5'-AMP by 5'-nucleotidase is a possible source of adenosine in the kidney. A renal membrane-bound ecto-5'-nucleotidase has been previously described. The present study deals with the catalytic properties of a 5'-AMP phosphohydrolase partially purified from high-speed supernatants of rat kidney homogenates. It exhibits phosphatase activity toward 5'-AMP, 5'-IMP, and 5'-GMP, but not toward 2'- and 3'-AMP and corresponds therefore to a 5'-nucleotidase. The hydrolysis of 5'-AMP by the soluble 5'-nucleotidase requires divalent cations. Maximal activity is reached with 10 microM of either Mn2+ or Co2+, whereas half-maximal activity is obtained with approximately 400 microM Mg2+. The soluble 5'-nucleotidase exhibits Michaelis-Menten kinetics with a Km of 9.5 microM for 5'-AMP. In the presence of 1 mM of free Mg2+, physiological concentrations of ATP provoke an increase of the Km for 5'-AMP and a decrease of Vmax. An increase of the pH of 0.4 units in the pH range 6.4-7.4 roughly doubles the rate of hydrolysis of 5'-AMP. The effects of ATP and of the pH are compatible with a role of the renal soluble 5'-nucleotidase in the hydrolysis of 5'-AMP and in the production of adenosine during hypoxia.

An enzyme with FAD pyrophosphatase activity was extracted from human placental syncytiotrophoblast microvilli and purified to near-homogeneity. The enzyme has been identified as 5'-nucleotidase by several criteria. Throughout purification, parallel increases in the specific activities of FAD pyrophosphatase and AMP phosphatase were observed. The enzyme was a glycoprotein with a subunit molecular weight of 74,000. EDTA treatment resulted in a marked decline in both activities, and restoration of FAD pyrophosphatase activity but not 5'-nucleotidase activity was accomplished by the addition of Co2+ or, to a lesser extent, Mn2+. The substrate specificity of the 5'-nucleotidase activity that we observed agreed closely with the results of others. The pyrophosphatase activity was relatively specific for FAD. ADP, ATP, NAD(H), and FMN were not hydrolyzed, and ADP strongly inhibited both activities. For FAD pyrophosphatase activity, a Km of 1.2 x 10(-5) M and a Vmax of 1.1 mumol/min/mg protein were determined in assays performed in the presence of Co2+. In the absence of added Co2+, the Vmax declined but the Km was unchanged. For 5'-nucleotidase (AMP as substrate) the Km was 4.1 x 10(-5) M and the Vmax 109 mumol/min/mg protein. Hydrolysis of FMN to riboflavin was observed in partially purified detergent extracts of microvilli that contained alkaline phosphatase activity and lacked FAD pyrophosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase activity. The presence of both FAD pyrophosphatase and FMN phosphatase activities in syncytiotrophoblast microvilli supports the view that the placental uptake of vitamin B2 involves the hydrolysis of FAD and FMN to riboflavin which is then absorbed, a sequence postulated for intestinal absorption and liver uptake.

A human placental soluble "high Km" 5'-nucleotidase has been separated from "low Km" 5'-nucleotidase and nonspecific phosphatase by AMP-Sepharose affinity chromatography. The enzyme was purified 8000-fold to a specific activity of 25.6 mumol/min/mg. The subunit molecular mass is 53 kDa, and the native molecular mass is 210 kDa, suggesting a tetrameric structure. Soluble high Km 5'-nucleotidase is most active with IMP and GMP and their deoxy derivatives. IMP is hydrolyzed 15 times faster than AMP. The enzyme has a virtually absolute requirement for magnesium ions and is regulated by them. Purine nucleoside 5'-triphosphates strongly activate the enzyme with the potency order dATP greater than ATP greater than GTP. 2,3-Diphosphoglycerate activates the enzyme as potently as ATP. Three millimolar ATP decreased the Km for IMP from 0.33 to 0.09 mM and increased the Vmax 12-fold. ATP activation was modified by the IMP concentration. At 20 microM IMP the ATP-dependent activation curve was sigmoidal, while at 2 mM IMP it was hyperbolic. The A0.5 values for ATP were 2.26 and 0.70 mM, and the relative maximal velocities were 32.9 and 126.0 nmol/min, respectively. Inorganic phosphate shifts the hyperbolic substrate velocity relationship for IMP to a sigmoidal one. With physiological concentrations of cofactors (3 mM ATP, 1-4 mM Pi, 150 mM KCl) at pH 7.4, the enzyme is 25-35 times more active toward 100 microM IMP than 100 microM AMP. These data show that: (a) soluble human placental high Km 5'-nucleotidase coexists in human placenta with the low Km enzyme; (b) under physiological conditions the enzyme favors the hydrolysis of IMP and is critically regulated by IMP, ATP, and Pi levels; and (c) kinetic properties of ATP and IMP are each modified by the other compound suggesting complex interaction of the associated binding sites.

New light microscopic visualization methods were developed for the histochemical detection of non-specific alkaline and acid phosphatase, Mg-, Ca- and Na, K-dependent adenosine triphosphatase, myosin adenosine triphosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase and thiamine pyrophosphatase with cerium ions as trapping agents in cryostat and plastic sections. The techniques are based on the conversion of cerium phosphate into cerium perhydroxide by H2O2 which decomposes at 55 degrees-60 degrees C into cerium hydroxide and oxygen radicals. These radicals are able to oxidize diaminobenzidine (DAB) to DAB brown. Addition of nickel ions to the DAB-H2O2 mixture generates bluish-black stained nickel-DAB complexes. Compared with the classical metal precipitation, azo, azoindoxyl and tetrazolium procedures the H2O2-DAB and especially the H2O2-DAB-nickel methods provided identical or superior results in catalytic phosphatase histochemistry and immunohistochemistry when using non-specific alkaline phosphatase as the enzyme label.

Ectoenzyme release from rat liver and kidney by phosphatidylinositol (PI)-specific phospholipase C of Bacillus thuringiensis was studied. Alkaline phosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase were released from rat kidney slices to extents of up to 60% and 30%, respectively. Release of alkaline phosphatase was observed at lower amounts of PI-specific phospholipase C than that of 5'-nucleotidase. Both enzymes were more easily released from microsomal fractions or free cells. From kidney cells, alkaline phosphatase was released without cell lysis, and more than 80% release of alkaline phosphatase was observed at 3.8% hydrolysis of PI. Isoelectric focusing profiles of alkaline phosphatase released by PI-specific phospholipase C were significantly different from the control in the cases of both rat liver and kidney. Lubrol-solubilized alkaline phosphatase was eluted at the void volume of a Toyopearl HW-55 column, while the enzyme obtained by further treatment with PI-specific phospholipase C was eluted in the lower-molecular-weight region corresponding to 100,000-110,000 daltons. Furthermore, Lubrol-solubilized phosphatase became more thermostable on treatment with PI-specific phospholipase C.
