Kinetic studies of the histochemical and histoenzymatic behavior of rabbit pancreatic parenchymas were performed 5, 30 and 90 days after Wirsung duct ligation. In control pancreas, some enzyme activities (EA) were more prominent in Langerhans islets [glucose-6-phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (DH), isocitrate DH, glycerol-3-phosphate DH, NADPH DH], others were strongly marked in acini and ducts (alkaline phosphatase, beta-glucuronidase, acid esterase aryl-sulfatase). Histochemical and enzyme abnormalities observed in experimental rabbits reflect the post-ligation degenerative and reactive processes in both exocrine and endocrine pancreas: (1) the decrease in Krebs cycle and pentose pathway linked EA and the increased lysosomal and acid phosphatase EA reflect early (day 5) degeneration and necrosis of islets and acini (day 30); (2) proliferative processes in developed ductal epithelia are shown by an increase in both glycolytic and lysosomal EA (days 30 and 90); (3) connective tissue neogenesis and interstitial fibrosis occurred as shown by activated beta-glucuronidase, aryl-sulfatase, alkaline phosphatase and increased ribonucleoproteins and glycoaminoglycans contents (day 30); (4) on day 90, the neoformed cell clusters presenting glucose-6-phosphatase positivity (B-cell marker) are seen in the pancreas remnant. At the same time, blood insulin level increases correlated with a decrease of hyperglycemia.

Urinary metabolites and biological half-life of chlorpyrifos (O, O-diethyl-O-3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinyl phosphorothioate) were investigated. Male Wistar rats weighing 200 g were intraperitoneally injected with chlorpyrifos at a level of 0.2 mmol/kg body weight. Both chlorpyrifos and 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP) levels in blood showed maximum values at 5 h post-injection, and then decreased rapidly. Biological half-lives of the blood chlorpyrifos and TCP were estimated to 8.15 and 24.66 h, respectively. Urine was collected for 96 h post-injection and hydrolyzed with 4 N HCl or beta-glucuronidase with sulfatase, and TCP released was determined. Urinary excretion levels of the acid hydrolysis-released TCP and the enzyme hydrolysis-released TCP accounted for 86 and 54% of chlorpyrifos administered, respectively. Urinary excretion levels of alkylphosphate for 96 h post-injection were analyzed. The excretion levels of diethylthiophosphate (DETP) and diethylphosphate (DEP) accounted for 45 and 15% of chlorpyrifos administered, respectively. These results indicate that 1) about half of the chlorpyrifos administered was directly hydrolyzed to DETP and TCP, 2) 10 to 20% was hydrolyzed to DEP and TCP after the oxidation to chlorpyrifos oxon, and 3) about 30% was dealkylated to TCP-phosphate after the oxidation.

N-Acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase activity was assayed by incubation of the radiolabeled disaccharide O-(a-N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfate)-(1----3)-L-[6-3H]-idonic acid (GlcNAc6S-IdOA), with homogenates of leucocytes, cultured fibroblasts, and urine from normal individuals, patients affected with N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase-deficiency (Sanfilippo D syndrome, mucopolysaccharidosis type IIID), and patients affected with other mucopolysaccharidoses and lysosomal storage disorders. The assay clearly distinguished affected homozygotes from their obligate heterozygotes and normal controls and other lysosomal storage disorders. Sulfatase activity in fibroblasts, leucocytes, and urine toward GlcNAc6S-IdOA exhibited a pH optimum at 4.2, 4.5, and 5.1, respectively. Sulfatase activity in fibroblasts had an apparent Km of 7.2 microM and was significantly inhibited by both sulfate and phosphate ions. The action of fibroblast or leucocyte N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase activity toward GlcNAc6S-IdOA is recommended for the routine enzymatic detection and classification of mucopolysaccharidosis type IIID patients.

The enzymes sulfatase and beta-glucuronidase from Helix pomatia were simultaneously immobilized on aminopropyl control pore glass. Once immobilized, these enzymes retained activity under varied conditions of pH, organic solvent, and temperature. To hydrolyze the sulfate and glucuronide conjugates of xenobiotics, the immobilized enzymes were either added directly to incubation mixtures for qualitative in vitro studies or packed in a short stainless steel column and placed in an HPLC system for quantitative studies. By incorporating specific inhibitors (D-saccharic acid-1,4-lactone to inhibit beta-glucuronidase or phosphate ions to inhibit sulfatase) into the incubation mixture or into the HPLC mobile phases, selective hydrolysis of either sulfate or glucuronide conjugates was achieved. Upon removal of the inhibitors from the incubation mixtures or from the mobile phases, original enzyme activity was restored. The utility of immobilized enzymes was demonstrated for quantitative analysis of sulfate and glucuronide conjugates of fenoldopam, where the liberation of the catechol aglycone moiety was necessary for electrochemical detection.

By differentiation of substrate specificity, pH optimum range, and sensitivity to various inhibitors, 2 isoenzymes of acid phosphatase in bone cells have been studied at the electron-microscopic level. When p-nitrophenyl phosphate was used for the substrate, the demonstrable enzyme activity was affected by neither tartrate nor sodium fluoride. The reaction product, when incubated at pH 5-6, was detected in all sites along the pathway for the biosynthesis of acid phosphatase in the osteoclast, including the perinuclear space, cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, various vesicles, and vacuoles. In the osteoclasts attached to bone, the enzymatic activity was demonstrated at the extracellular ruffled border and on the eroded bone surface. Reaction products became confined to lysosomes and extracellular ruffled border when incubated at pH 6-7. Unattached osteoclasts showed a similar intracytoplasmic localization of enzyme as the attached ones, except for the absence of the extracellular enzyme activity. The mononuclear, immature type of osteoclast also resembled the mature osteoclast in terms of enzymatic localization. Except for the osteoclasts, the acid p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity was restricted to lysosomal vesicles in various bone cells, monocytes, and macrophages. Such activity was inhibited by adding 50 mM tartrate to the p-nitrophenyl phosphate medium. When beta-glycerophosphate or p-nitrocatechol sulfate was the substrate, most of the reaction product was localized intracellularly. Unlike the acid p-nitrophenyl phosphatase, the acid beta-glycerophosphatase or arylsulfatase activity in osteoclasts and other bone cells was inhibited completely by 10 mM tartrate or 10 mM sodium fluoride.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A 2.4-kilobase cDNA clone for human steroid-sulfatase (STS) was isolated and sequenced, which encoded an enzymatically active protein. The deduced amino acid sequence comprises 583 amino acids with an N-terminal signal peptide of 21 or 23 residues and four potential N-glycosylation sites. Two of the N-glycosylation sites are utilized and were localized to the asparagine residues 47 and 259. STS has the solubility properties of an integral membrane protein. The resistance of STS toward proteinase K after translocation into microsomes suggests that most, if not all, sequences of STS are exposed at the luminal side of microsomes. The deduced amino acid sequence predicts two membrane-spanning domains (amino acids 185-211 and 213-237) separated by a helix-breaking proline residue. We propose for STS a three-domain model. Two glycosylated luminally oriented domains of 161 and 346 residues are separated by a hydrophobic domain spanning the membrane twice in opposite directions. STS expressed in BHK-21 cells is located predominantly in the endoplasmic reticulum; smaller fractions are found in the Golgi, at the cell surface, multivesicular endosomes, as well as in lysosomes. The stability of STS in lysosomes may be related to the high homology of the two luminal domains of STS with the lysosomal sulfatases, arylsulfatase A, and arylsulfatase B. In spite of its similarity with these two lysosomal sulfatases, STS does not contain mannose 6-phosphate residues and is transported to lysosomes by a mannose 6-phosphate receptor-independent mechanism.

Mitochondria that have been purified from cells of light-grown wild-type Euglena gracilis Klebs var. bacillaris Cori or dark-grown mutant W10BSmL and incubated with 35SO4(2-) and ATP accumulate a labeled compound in the surrounding medium. This compound is also labeled when mitochondria are incubated with [14C]tyrosine and nonradioactive sulfate under the same conditions. This compound shows exact coelectrophoresis with synthetic tyrosine O-sulfate at pH 2.0, 5.8, and 8.0, and yields sulfate and tyrosine on acid hydrolysis. Treatment with aryl sulfatase from Aerobacter aerogenes yields sulfate and tyrosine but no tyrosine methyl ester; no hydrolysis of tyrosine methyl ester to tyrosine is observed under identical conditions, ruling out methyl esterase activity in the aryl sulfatase preparation. Thus the compound is identified as tyrosine O-sulfate. No tyrosine O-sulfate is found outside purified developing chloroplasts of Euglena incubated with 35SO4(2-) and ATP, but both chloroplasts and mitochondria accumulate labeled tyrosine-O-sulfate externally when incubated with adenosine 3'-phosphate 5'-phospho[35S]-sulfate (PAP35S). Since tyrosine does not need to be added, it must be provided from endogenous sources. Labeled tyrosine O-sulfate is found in the free pools of light-grown Euglena cells grown on 35SO4(2-) or in dark-grown cells incubated with 35SO4(2-) in light, but none is found in the medium after cell growth. No labeled tyrosine O-sulfate is found in Euglena proteins (including those in extracellular mucus) after growth or incubation of cells with 35SO4(2-) or after incubation of organelles with 35SO4(2-) and ATP or PAP35S, ruling out sulfation of the tyrosine in protein or incorporation of free-pool tyrosine O-sulfate into protein. The system forming tyrosine O-sulfate is membrane-bound and may be involved in transporting tyrosine out of the organelles.

Arylsulfatase A (arylsulfate sulfohydrolase, EC 3.1.6.1), a mammalian lysosomal enzyme, is initially synthesized as a 69, 67 and 64 kDa precursor polypeptide in a prostate carcinoma cell line PC-3SF12, in HeLa cells and in a normal human embryonic lung cell line WI-38, respectively. These precursor polypeptides are secreted into the medium or processed to mature enzymes of apparent molecular mass 66, 64 or 62 kDa in PC-3SF12, HeLa or WI-38 cells, respectively. The precursor and mature polypeptides in WI-38 cells are phosphorylated, and the phosphate is lost upon treatment with endo-beta-hexosaminidase H. Arylsulfatase A is also shown to be sulfated in WI-38 cells. The presence of castanospermine, an inhibitor of sulfation of the second N-acetylglucosamine residue of the chitobiose core, does not reduce the extent of sulfation of arylsulfatase A, suggesting that either terminal sugars or the protein is sulfated. Sulfation may have a protective function similar to that of terminal sialic acid residues in glycoproteins. Although the subcellular location of arylsulfatase A is identical in PC-3SF12 and in WI-38 cells, pulse-chase experiments indicate that arylsulfatase A protein has a slower turnover in the prostate carcinoma cell line than it does in the normal human lung cell line. The differences in the apparent molecular weights of arylsulfatase A in the normal and carcinoma cell lines are shown to be due to variations in the carbohydrate content of the enzyme. The apparent molecular mass of the polypeptide chain obtained after endo-beta-hexosaminidase H treatment is 59 kDa, a value which is identical for all three cell lines studied here. These results suggest the possibility of an enhanced activity of terminal glucosyltransferase enzymes in carcinoma cell lines and in tumor tissues. Arylsulfatase A may be a useful marker for studying transformation-related processes in human cell lines.

Approximately 25 and 40%, respectively, of murine (Mus musculus) and rat (Rattus norvegicus) hepatic arylsulfatase (EC 3.1.6.1) activity eluted from DEAE-ion exchange resins under high salt conditions. This high salt fraction contained arylsulfatase A and an enzyme which was immunologically similar to arylsulfatase B. The latter enzyme was thermostable, resistant to inhibition by silver, completely inhibited by phosphate, displayed linear kinetics, and had a higher pH optimum than arylsulfatase A. Anionic arylsulfatase B also hydrolyzed chondroitin-4-SO4 heptasaccharide. Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration resolved anionic arylsulfatase B into 55 and 115 kd fractions. Rodent arylsulfatase A activity was grossly underestimated when 4-methyl-umbelliferyl sulfate was employed as substrate.

Arylsulfatase A was purified from human lung and human placenta to apparent homogeneity presented by electrophoresis in the absence and presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The enzyme from normal lung, placenta, and lung adenocarcinoma showed considerable charge heterogeneity when examined by isoelectrofocusing, with isoelectric point (pI) ranging from 5.1 to 4.6. The enzyme from adenocarcinoma was more heterogeneous and having more acidic components than the other enzyme. When the tumor enzyme was treated with exogenous sialidase, alkaline phosphatase, or endo-beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase H (endoglycosidase H), the acidic components of the enzyme shifted to the more alkaline region on the focussing gel. The banding pattern of the enzyme from normal tissues also changed to the more alkaline region when treated with exogenous hydrolase and showed almost the same pattern as hydrolase treated enzyme from adenocarcinoma. Combined treatment of the enzyme with endoglycosidase H and sialidase resulted in complete loss of the most acidic components to give the less acidic components with pI of 5.1.50. and 4.9. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase could not phosphorylate the protein moiety of arylsulfatase A even after the enzyme was treated with alkaline phosphatase. When an acidic fraction of the endoglycosidase H sensitive oligosaccharides from arylsulfatase A was treated with phosphatase, the acidic oligosaccharide fraction lost the negative charge on QAE-Sephadex chromatography. These results strongly suggest that the charge heterogeneity of arylsulfatase A is due not only to sialylation but also to phosphorylation at the carbohydrate moiety of the enzyme, and that the extent of substitution by acidic groups, sialic acid residue and phosphate residue, is markedly increased in the tumor enzyme.
