The protein responsible for both nucleotide pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6.1.9) and alkaline phosphodiesterase I (EC 3.1.4.1) activities was purified from MOPC 315 plasmacytoma cells. A single SDS/PAGE-purified 115-kDa protein band was used to produce a rabbit polyclonal antiserum. This antibody preparation precipitated alkaline phosphodiesterase I activity, indicating that the SDS/PAGE-purified protein was nucleotide pyrophosphatase/alkaline phosphodiesterase I. When used for Western blot analysis, the antiserum detected a 115-kDa protein as well as a 220-kDa protein band. Multiple overlapping cDNA clones were isolated from a cDNA expression library screened with this anti-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/alkaline phosphodiesterase I antiserum. Sequence analysis indicated that the isolated cDNA clones encoded PC-1, a murine plasma cell differentiation antigen. To confirm the suspected enzymatic identity of PC-1, a recombinant PC-1 fusion protein was expressed in bacteria, purified, and used to produce another rabbit polyclonal antiserum. This antiserum likewise immunoprecipitated alkaline phosphodiesterase I activity and recognized the 115-kDa and 220-kDa proteins in Western blot analyses of cell extracts. Furthermore, expression of nucleotide pyrophosphatase/alkaline phosphodiesterase I corresponded directly with mRNA and protein levels of PC-1 in cells known to express different levels of nucleotide pyrophosphatase/alkaline phosphodiesterase I activity. Finally, steroid induction of enzymatic activity was mirrored by levels of PC-1 mRNA and protein expression. Together, these data indicate that the plasma cell differentiation antigen PC-1 is a membrane-bound enzyme, nucleotide pyrophosphatase/alkaline phosphodiesterase I.

A 32P-labeled protein that co-purified with acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) receptor from bovine liver proved to be a distinct membrane protein, which itself has kinase activity that is stimulated by aFGF. The protein was designated MAFP for major aFGF-stimulated phosphoprotein. MAFP was purified from bovine liver using immunoaffinity chromatography with monoclonal antibody to MAFP following Triton X-100 extraction of plasma membranes and wheat germ lectin-Sepharose 4B column chromatography. The purified MAFP showed molecular masses of 130 kDa and 260 kDa on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing and nonreducing conditions, respectively. Purified MAFP elicited aFGF-stimulated Thr-specific autophosphorylation activity and phosphorylation activity toward protein substrates (myelin basic protein and histone). Amino acid sequence analyses of 16 peptide fragments of MAFP, produced by endoproteinase Lys-C digestion followed by reduction and S-pyridylethylation, showed approximately 80-100% homology with the cDNA-deduced amino acid sequences of human and mouse plasma cell membrane glycoprotein, PC-1 (Buckley, M. F., Loveland, K. A., McKinstry, W. J., Garson, O. M., and Goding, J. W. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 17506-17511), suggesting that MAFP is the bovine version of PC-1. The amino acid sequences of bovine MAFP, human and mouse PC-1 reveal a putative ATP binding site in their extracellular domains. These results suggest that MAFP(PC-1) is an ectoprotein kinase. In addition to the kinase activity, MAFP(PC-1) was also found to possess alkaline nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity. It is now clear that several of the unique properties previously attributed to the aFGF receptor kinase are actually properties of this novel Thr-specific ectoprotein kinase, which co-purifies with the aFGF receptor and is responsive to stimulation by aFGF.

The plasma cell differentiation antigen PC-1 was purified to homogeneity from rat liver membranes. Denaturing electrophoresis revealed polypeptides of 118 and 128 kDa, which were both recognized by antibodies against recombinant murine PC-1. During gel filtration PC-1 migrated as a protein of about 500 kDa, suggesting a tetrameric structure. Purified PC-1 displayed a phosphodiesterase-I/nucleotide pyrophosphatase activity that could be completely blocked by EDTA, dithiothreitol and acidic fibroblast growth factor (extrapolated Ki = 1.3 nM). Purified PC-1 was also capable of threonine autophosphorylation and of phosphorylation of histone IIa. The autophosphorylation of PC-1 was inhibited by addition of histone IIa, and it was blocked by phosphodiesterase-I inhibitors (acidic fibroblast growth factor, dithiothreitol), by nucleotides (ATP, ADP, AMP), and by vanadate. When added to autophosphorylated PC-1, these compounds caused a prompt dephosphorylation. However, the same agents did not affect the (de)phosphorylation of histone IIa, which is not a substrate for the PC-1 phosphatase. These data indicate that phosphodiesterase-I inhibitors, nucleotides and vanadate affect the (de)phosphorylation of PC-1 by stimulating the PC-1 phosphatase and/or by shielding the autophosphorylation site from the PC-1 kinase. The rate of dephosphorylation of PC-1 was independent of the dilution, suggesting an autocatalytic intramolecular process. We propose that the autophosphorylation of PC-1 serves to block its nucleotide pyrophosphatase activity when extracellular ATP becomes scarce.

Individuals with insulin resistance show increased levels of PC-1 expression in skeletal muscle and fibroblasts, and in transfected cell lines that overexpress PC-1 there is a reduction in the insulin-stimulated insulin receptor tyrosine phosphorylation. As PC-1 is a type II transmembrane protein with extracellular phosphodiesterase and pyrophosphatase activity, increased expression of PC-1 at the cell surface will decrease extracellular adenosine triphosphate levels and increase extracellular adenosine levels. Consequently it is possible that PC-1-mediated insulin resistance could be caused either by a decrease in adenosine triphosphate or an indirect increase in adenosine levels. We have tested this hypothesis and find that the PC-1-mediated inhibition of insulin-stimulated insulin receptor autophosphorylation is not altered by agents that alter the level or action of adenosine. Further, a mutated PC-1 with a single amino acid change that abolishes the phosphodiesterase and pyrophosphatase activities is still able to inhibit insulin-stimulated insulin receptor phosphorylation. The results of these experiments indicate that the phosphodiesterase activity of PC-1 is not involved in the inhibition of insulin receptor autophosphorylation.

Nucleotide pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6.1.9) is a membrane enzyme purified from a number of mammalian sources that may have alkaline phosphodiesterase I (EC 3.1.4.1) activity as well. The mol. wt and subunit structure of this membrane glycoprotein are similar to that of the murine plasma cell alloantigen, PC-1. The PC-1 protein is a disulfide-bonded dimer of identical 115 kDa polypeptides that is selectively expressed on B lineage cells that have reached the degree of maturation associated with immunoglobulin secretion. It also has restricted expression in certain non-lymphoid tissues. In this report, we show that alkaline phosphodiesterase I activity parallels PC-1 mRNA expression in a number of B lineage cell lines at different stages of differentiation. Furthermore, we demonstrate increases in both nucleotide pyrophosphatase and alkaline phosphodiesterase I enzymatic activities in transiently transfected COS-7 cells expressing a cloned PC-1 cDNA construction. These results extend our previous immunological and correlative studies and directly ascribe an enzymatic activity to this cell surface differentiation antigen. These experiments also demonstrate that a single protein is responsible for both alkaline phosphodiesterase I and nucleotide pyrophosphatase activities.

Monoclonal antibody RB13-6 recognizes a subset of rat brain glial precursor cells that are highly susceptible to malignant conversion by the carcinogen N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea. The corresponding cell surface antigen was identified as a membrane glycoprotein (gp130RB13-6) and purified by immunoaffinity chromatography from the tumorigenic neuroectodermal rat cell line BT4Ca. Sequencing of 5 endoproteinase-generated peptides of the purified antigen permitted the specific amplification of a cDNA fragment by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and subsequent isolation of the complete coding sequence from a fetal rat brain cDNA library. The derived amino acid sequence indicates that the RB13-6 antigen is related to the human and murine plasma cell membrane protein PC-1, a nucleotide pyrophosphatase/alkaline phosphodiesterase and ectoprotein kinase. Similarly, purified gp130RB13-6 possesses 5'-nucleotidase activity that can be inhibited with EDTA. Different from PC-1, gp130RB13-6 isolated from BT4Ca cells is not a disulfide-linked dimer and contains an RGD-tripeptide sequence which, together with other structural features, suggests a possible function in cell adhesion and its subversion in malignant phenotypes.

PC-1 is an ecto-enzyme possessing alkaline phosphodiesterase I (EC 3.1.4.1) and nucleotide pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6.1.9) activities. It has also been proposed to be an ecto-protein kinase capable of phosphorylating itself as well as exogenous proteins. We have investigated the phosphorylation capability of PC-1 and have developed a novel method for its detection and characterization based on autophosphorylation, which allows detection without the use of antibodies. When cells expressing membrane PC-1 were held on ice with [gamma-32P]ATP, SDS/PAGE of whole cell lysates showed a single band which was PC-1; this band was absent in cells not expressing PC-1. Immunoprecipitates of soluble PC-1 isolated from culture supernatants of cells expressing PC-1 were also capable of autophosphorylation, and the size of the labeled protein was the same as previously reported for soluble PC-1. PC-1 was also labeled with [alpha-32P]ATP and [35S]dATP[alpha S]. We found no evidence that PC-1 was capable of phosphorylating proteins other than itself, and conclude that it is not a true kinase, and that the observed labeling with [gamma-32P]ATP, [alpha-32P]ATP and [35S]dATP[alpha S] reflect transient covalent adducts that are part of the catalytic cycle of phosphodiesterase/pyrophosphatase activity rather than intrinsic kinase activity. Mutation of the active-site threonine to tyrosine, serine or alanine reduced the 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity of PC-1 and its ability to autophosphorylate to undetectable levels. Together, these data suggest that both activities depend on the same site.

A human cDNA clone encoding autotaxin, a tumor cell motility-stimulating protein, reveals that this protein is an ecto/exo-enzyme with significant homology to the plasma cell membrane differentiation antigen PC-1. ATX is a 125-kDa glycoprotein, previously isolated from a human melanoma cell line (A2058), which elicits chemotactic and chemokinetic responses at picomolar to nanomolar concentrations. Affinity-purified antipeptide antibodies to the ATX peptide, ATX-102, were employed to screen an A2058 cDNA expression library made in lambda gt11. The partial cDNA sequence which was obtained was then extended by utilizing reverse transcriptase on total cellular RNA followed by polymerase chain reaction amplification. The isolated cDNA clone contained 3251 base pairs, and the mRNA message size was approximately 3.3 kilobases. The deduced amino acid sequence of autotaxin matched 30 previously sequenced peptides and comprised a protein of 915 amino acids. Data base analysis of the ATX sequence revealed a 45% amino acid identity (including 30 out of 33 cysteines) with PC-1, a pyrophosphatase/type I phosphodiesterase expressed on the surface of activated B cells and plasma cells. ATX, like PC-1, was found to hydrolyze the type I phosphodiesterase substrate p-nitrophenyl thymidine-5'-monophosphate. Autotaxin now defines a novel motility-regulating function for this class of ecto/exo-enzymes.

The plasma cell-membrane glycoprotein PC-1 is an ectoenzyme with alkaline phosphodiesterase I/5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.1) and nucleotide pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6.1.9) activities. It contains sequence motifs which closely match the consensus EF-hand (helix-loop-helix) Ca(2+)-binding regions of parvalbumin, troponin-C and calmodulin, and its enzymic activity is increased in the presence of divalent cations and decreased in the presence of chelating agents. We have undertaken experiments to determine whether divalent cations affect the conformation of the PC-1 protein, as assessed by their effect on thermal stability, resistance to proteolysis and binding of polyclonal antibodies to the whole native protein and monoclonal antibodies to a putative Ca(2+)-binding region. Divalent cations were found to protect solubilized PC-1 against thermal denaturation and proteolysis. They also stabilized PC-1 on intact cells; this form was much more resistant to proteolysis than Triton X-100 solubilized PC-1. Ca2+, Mg2+ and Zn2+ ions were equally effective. Monoclonal antibodies to the bacterially expressed C-terminal EF-hand homology region only bound to mammalian PC-1 in the absence of Ca2+. In contrast, the great majority of polyclonal antibodies to native PC-1 bound regardless of whether Ca2+ was present or not, but with increased binding when Ca2+ was present. These results provide evidence that divalent cations bind to PC-1 and stabilize its conformation.

A bone and cartilage enzyme with both 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase I and nucleotide pyrophosphohydrolase (NTPPPH) activity modulates physiologic mineralization and pathologic chondrocalcinosis by generating inorganic pyrophosphate. We hypothesized that, as for alkaline phosphatase, expression of an NTPPPH gene can be shared by cells from bone, cartilage, and liver and by certain leukocytes. Recently, we demonstrated the hepatocyte and murine plasma cell membrane glycoprotein PC-1 to have both 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase I and NTPPPH activity. We detected polypeptides cross-reactive with PC-1 in human U20S osteosarcoma cells, articular chondrocytes, homogenized human knee cartilages, human knee synovial fluids, hepatoma cells, and murine plasmacytoma cells. Constitutive low abundance PC-1 mRNA expression was detected in U20S cells and chondrocytes by a nested RNA-PCR assay and by Northern blotting. TGF beta is known to substantially increase NTPPPH activity in primary osteoblast cultures. We demonstrated that TGF beta 1 increased NTPPPH activity and the level of PC-1 mRNA and immunoprecipitable [35S]-methionine-labeled PC-1 polypeptides in U20S cells. The identification of PC-1 as an NTPPPH expressed in cells derived from bone and cartilage may prove useful in furthering the understanding of the role of NTPPPH i n physiologic and pathologic mineralization.
