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.

The effect of glucocorticoid hormones on the protein responsible for both nucleotide pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6.1.9) and alkaline phosphodiesterase I (EC 3.1.4.1) activities was examined in murine MOPC 315 plasmacytoma cells. Incubation of these cells with dexamethasone resulted in parallel increases in pyrophosphatase and phosphodiesterase specific activities. The incorporation of [3H]mannose into N-linked oligosaccharide precursors was also analyzed in cells following hormone modulation. In cells treated for 36 hours or cultured continuously with dexamethasone, the resulting increase in enzyme specific activities was accompanied by a decrease in [3H]mannose incorporation, consistent with the hypothesis that in some cell types, nucleotide pyrophosphatase activity is involved in the regulation of glycoprotein synthesis.

Ectoenzyme release from porcine intestinal brush border membranes by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C of Bacillus thuringiensis was studied. Alkaline phosphodiesterase I, alkaline phosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase were released from both slices and brush border membranes. The pattern of alkaline phosphodiesterase I release was the same as that of alkaline phosphatase. The release of alkaline phosphodiesterase I induced by phospholipase C was dependent on, or proportional to, the reaction time and the concentration of phospholipase C. The Arrhenius plot for phosphodiesterase I release showed a single break at 30 degrees C for brush border membranes. Only 40% of alkaline phosphodiesterase I present in the brush border membranes were solubilized by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C treatment. The data indicate the presence of two forms of phosphodiesterase I, which are different in their sensitivity to phospholipase C. The released alkaline phosphodiesterase I had a molecular weight of 240,000 and was activated by Mg2+ and Ca2+, but strongly inhibited by EDTA.

1. A simple new assay for glycerylphosphorylcholine phosphodiesterase is described, in which radioactive glycerylphosphorylcholine is used as substrate and the reaction products are separated by adsorption on an anion-exchange resin. 2. Rat liver subcellular fractions contained both particulate (58%) and soluble (42%) glycerylphosphorylcholine phosphodiesterase. Both activities released free choline from glycerylphosphorylcholine. 3. The particulate glycerylphosphorylcholine phosphodiesterase was recovered mainly in the nuclear and microsomal fractions and showed a distribution similar to those of 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphodiesterase I, both of which are constituents of the liver plasma membrane. 4. During purification of plasma membranes glycerylphosphorylcholine phosphodiesterase, 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphodiesterase I showed largely similar behaviour, indicating that glycerylphosphorylcholine phosphodiesterase is also localized in liver plasma membranes. Slight differences in the distributions of these three enzymes in density-gradient separations are discussed in relation to the possibility that they are unevenly distributed on different areas of the cell surface. 5. The differences between glycerylphosphorylcholine phosphodiesterase and alkaline phosphodiesterase I indicate that these two activities are not functions of a single enzyme. 6. The glycerylphosphorylcholine phosphodiesterase of liver plasma membranes has a pH optimum of 8.5 and a K(m) for glycerylphosphorylcholine of 0.95mm. It is inhibited by EDTA and fully reactivated by a variety of bivalent cations (and Fe(3+)).

In rat hepatoma cells the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone causes a 3-fold increase in the activity of the plasma membrane enzyme alkaline phosphodiesterase I (oligonucleat 5'-nucleotidohydrolase, EC 3.1.4.1). The data are consistent with an induction phenomenon mediated by the glucocorticoid receptor involved in tyrosine aminotransferase induction. The effect on alkaline phosphodiesterase I is not a reflection of a general membrane effect of dexamethasone, because the activity of three other enzymes of the plasma membrane is unaffected. On the other hand, nucleoside diphosphatase (nucleoside diphosphate phosphohydrolase acting on ADP) activity is inhibited. Thus, two more enzymes sensitive to glucocorticoids have been identified in a cell line in which these hormones influence only very few gene products. This paper describes enzymatic changes in the plasma membrane of rat hepatoma cells in which glucocorticoids normalize a number of membrane-associated processes that are considered to be characteristic of transformed cells.

The phenotype of three ectoenzymes was determined for murine resident peritoneal macrophages, macrophages elicited in vivo by treatment of mice with thioglycollate, Corynebacterium parvum or pyran, and for resident macrophages activated in vitro by treatment with lymphokine. The relationship of these biochemical markers to macrophage antiviral and anti-tumor activity was established. Thioglycollate-elicited macrophages showed a unique ectoenzyme phenotype, with increased leucine aminopeptidase and alkaline phosphodiesterase I activity and markedly reduced 5'-nucleotidase activity as compared with resident macrophages. Thioglycollate-elicited macrophages exhibited extrinsic antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus but did not show anti-tumor activity. Another ectoenzyme phenotype was shared by macrophages elicited in vivo by treatment of mice with the immunomodulators or in vitro by treatment with antigen-specific lymphokine. These macrophage populations showed increased levels of leucine aminopeptidase but reduced levels of both 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphodiesterase. This ectoenzyme phenotype was associated with the acquisition by the macrophages of selective anti-tumor activity. There appear to be clear distinctions in biochemical markers and functional properties among macrophages activated by different mechanisms.

Plasma membrane extracts from Herpes simplex virus type 1 transformed hamster embryo fibroblasts were chromatographed on Lens culinaris lectin coupled to Sepharose (LcH-Sepharose) and analysed by dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Coomassie blue-staining revealed two major protein bands with apparent molecular weights of 125 000 and of about 75 000-90 000. In plasma membranes isolated from these tumor cells prior labeled with [3H]fucose or [3H]glucosamine these bands contained the highest amounts of incorporated radioactivity. Separation by LcH-Sepharose-affinity chromatography as well as metabolic labeling clearly demonstrates their glycoprotein character. The 125 000 protein coincides with alkaline phosphodiesterase I activity with a Km of 6 . 10(-4) M for TMP p-nitrophenyl ester and is competitively inhibited by UDP-N-acetylglucosamine. This enzymatic activity is also present in normal hamster embryo fibroblasts. Gel electrophoresis of the Lens culinaris lectin-binding glycoproteins from plasma membranes of normal hamster embryo fibroblasts additionally revealed a strong alkaline phosphatase activity represented by an apparent molecular weight of 150 000, while HSV1 hamster tumor cells contain only a very weak activity of this enzyme activity. HSV-lytically infected cells, however, have unchanged levels of alkaline phosphatase activity, whereas alkaline phosphodiesterase activity increases slightly.

The conjugated trihydroxy bile salts glycocholate and taurocholate removed approx. 20--30% of the plasma-membrane enzymes 5'-nucleotidase, alkaline phosphatase and alkaline phosphodiesterase I from isolated hepatocytes before the onset of lysis, as judged by release of the cytosolic enzyme lactate dehydrogenase. The conjugated dihydroxy bile salt glycodeoxycholate similarly removed 10--20% of the 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphatase activities, but not alkaline phosphodiesterase activity; this bile salt caused lysis of hepatocytes at approx. 10-fold lower concentrations (1.5--2.0mM) than either glycocholate or taurocholate (12--16mM). At low concentrations (7 mM), glycocholate released these enzymes in a predominantly particulate form, whereas at higher concentrations (15 mM) glycocholate further released these components in a predominantly 'soluble' form. Inclusion of 1% (w/v) bovine serum albumin in the incubations had a small protective effect on the release of enzymes from hepatocytes by glycodeoxycholate, but not by glycocholate. These observations are discussed in relation to the possible role of bile salts in the origin of some biliary proteins.

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.
