Fluoride acts as a noncompetitive, strong inhibitor of (asymmetrical) Ap4A hydrolases (EC 3.6.1.17). The Ki values estimated for the enzymes isolated from seeds of some higher plants (yellow lupin, sunflower and marrow) are in the range of 2-3 microM and I50 for the hydrolase from a mammalian tissue (beef liver) is 20 microM. The anion, up to 25 mM, does not affect the following other enzymes which are able to degrade the bis(5'-nucleosidyl)-oligophosphates: Escherichia coli (symmetrical) Ap4A hydrolase (EC 3.6.1.41), yeast Ap4A phosphorylase (EC 2.7.7.53), yellow lupin Ap3A hydrolase (EC 3.6.1.29) and phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.1). None of halogenic anions but fluoride affects the activity of (asymmetrical) Ap4A hydrolases. Usefulness of the fluoride effect for the in vivo studies on the Ap4A metabolism is shortly discussed.

The substrate specificity of procaryotic and eucaryotic AppppA-degrading enzymes was investigated with phosphonate analogues of diadenosine 5',5'''-P1,P4-tetraphosphate (AppppA). App(CH2)ppA (I), App(CHBr)ppA (II), and Appp(CH2)pA (III), but not Ap(CH2)pp(CH2)pA (IV), are substrates for lupin AppppA hydrolase (EC 3.6.1.17) and phosphodiesterase I (EC 3.1.4.1). None of the four analogues is hydrolyzed by bacterial AppppA hydrolase (EC 3.6.1.41), and only analogue III is degraded by yeast AppppA phosphorylase (EC 2.7.7.53). The analogues are competitive inhibitors of all four enzymes. The affinity of analogue IV is 3-40-fold lower than that of analogues I-III for all four enzymes. Introduction of one methylene (as in I and III) [or bromomethylene (as in II)] group into AppppA results in a 3-15-fold increase of its affinity for lupin and Escherichia coli AppppA hydrolases. The same modifications only negligibly (10-30%) affect its affinity for yeast AppppA phosphorylase and decrease its affinity for lupin phosphodiesterase I about 2.5-fold. The data provide further evidence for the heterogeneity among catalytic sites of all four AppppA-degrading enzymes.
