Two fractions of gastric mucosal membranes obtained by Ficoll-sucrose density gradient centrifugation were studied by a variety of techniques to localize the polypeptides. Gel electrophoresis showed the presence of five major polypeptides and several minor ones. Only one of these, 82,000 daltons, was available for iodination in the intact tissue. The two membrane fractions differed in their accessibility to peroxidase. The denser fraction showed two major defined iodination peaks at 82,000 and 102,000 daltons. Freeze-thawing and iodinating with 131-I produced additional labeling of peaks as well as relabeling the 82,000-dalton component, showing it was accessible from both sides of the membrane. The two major components were also sensitive to cross-linking, the 102,000 polypeptide being especially sensitive to --SH oxidation. Proteolysis with trypsin removed both components in the denser membrane fraction, in addition to inhibiting the K+-ATPase and K+-p-nitrophenylphosphatase of that fraction. Phosphorylation with [gamma-32-P]ATP labeled the 102,000-dalton component and K+, HCO3- minus and p-nitrophenylphosphate reduced the level of labeling. Hence the 102,000 region contains a subunit of the ATPase, is readily iodinated in inside-out vesicles, and is the most available for interpeptide S--S cross-linking.

Using extracted human deciduous teeth undergoing physiologic root resorption, this author studied the ultrastructural and cytochemical features of odontoclasts. The scanning electron microscopic observation of trypsin-treated dentin and cementum surfaces of resorption lacunae showed the exposure of collagen fibrils and prominent loss of the peritubular matrices around the dentinal tubules. In the resorption lacunae formed in enamel, there was dissolution of either the rod or the interrod regions. The odontoclasts developed extensive ruffled borders apposed to these resorbing matrices and had round phagosomes containing tannic acid-stainable fine amorphous inclusions, which were identical to those in the extracellular canals of the ruffled borders. The odontoclasts did not phagocytose the collagen fibrils. The odontoclasts showed the enzymatic activities of the acid trimetaphosphatase and acid p-nitrophenyl phosphatase (p-NPPase) in the Golgi-lysosome system, the ruffled border region, and along the resorbing dentin surfaces. The p-NPPase activity was inhibited by sodium tartrate. Also, the odontoclasts showed H(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in the cytoplasm along the plasma membranes including those of ruffled border and the limiting membranes of the lysosomes. These results suggest that: 1) the odontoclasts are associated with resorption of non-collagenous organic matrices and/or extracellularly-degraded collagenous fragments rather than the incorporation of intact collagen fibrils; 2) the odontoclasts release the hydrolytic enzymes onto the lacunal surfaces and/or the lysosomes for the extra/intracellular degradation of the organic matrices; and 3) they also have H(+)-K(+)-ATPase for extracellular demineralization of the inorganic crystals.

The mechanism of the Na+/K(+)-ATPase activation by trypsin (from bovine pancreas) and kallikrein (from human plasma) was investigated on enzyme preparations from different sources (beef heart and dog kidney) and at different degrees of purification (beef heart). Kallikrein was effective on both beef and dog enzymes, whereas trypsin stimulated only the beef-heart Na+/K(+)-ATPase. The extent of activation by the proteinases was inversely related to the degree of purification (maximal enzyme activation about 60 and 20% on the partially purified and the more purified enzymes, respectively). Enzyme activation was observed up to 0.5-0.6 microgram/ml of proteinase. At higher concentrations the activation decreased and was converted into inhibition at proteinase concentrations above 1.0 micrograms/ml. Na+/K(+)-ATPase stimulation was due to an increase in the Vmax of the enzyme reaction. Km for ATP remained unaffected. The activating effect was favoured by sodium and counteracted by potassium. Accordingly, Na(+)-ATPase activity was stimulated to a greater extent (up to 350%), whereas K(+)-dependent p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity proved to be insensitive to the actions of the proteinases. The Na+/K(+)-ATPase stimulation by both proteinases was antagonized by either ouabain or canrenone, two drugs that bind on the extracellular side of the Na+/K(+)-ATPase molecule. On the contrary, the enzyme inactivation observed at high proteinase concentrations was not counteracted by these two drugs. The stimulation of either Na+/K(+)- or Na(+)-ATPase activity was shown to be an irreversible effect without any significant protein degradation detectable by SDS gel electrophoresis. The results obtained suggest that proteinases exert their stimulatory effects by interacting preferentially with the E2 conformation of Na+/K(+)-ATPase at site(s) located on the extracellular moiety of the enzyme.

Tubulin can stimulate specifically the aryl phosphatase activity of the low-Mr polycation-stimulated (PCSL) phosphatase, measured as p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity, or using reduced carboxamidomethylated and maleylated (RCM) lysozyme, phosphorylated on tyrosyl residues, as a substrate. This stimulation is independent of the degree of polymerization of tubulin (A50 = 60 nM) and is due to an increase in Vmax. It is mechanistically different from the ATP-induced activation and resistant to heat and trypsin treatment. Chymotrypsin destroys the stimulatory effect of tubulin. The polycation-stimulated phosphorylase phosphatase activity is inhibited by tubulin, probably by a polycation/polyanion interaction. The microtubule-associated protein, MAP2, is inhibitory to the p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity and tubulin can eliminate this inhibitory effect. MAP2 also inhibits the polycation-stimulated phosphorylase phosphatase activity.

The (K+ + H+)-ATPase from gastric mucosa has been treated by limited proteolytic digestion with trypsin to study the conformational states of the enzyme. The existence of a K+- and an ATP-form of the enzyme follows from the kinetics of inactivation and from the specific cleavage products. In the presence of K+ the 95 kDa chain is cleaved into two fragments of 56 and 42 kDa, whereas in the presence of ATP fragments of 67 and 35 kDa are formed. When Mg2+ is present during tryptic digestion cleavage products which are specific for both the ATP- and the K+-form of the enzyme are yielded. In analogy to ATP, Mg2+ is able to convert the enzyme from a K+-conformation to a more protected form. Moreover Mg2+ supports the protecting effect of ATP against tryptic inactivation. The K0.5 for ATP is lowered from 1.6 mM (no Mg2+) to 0.2 mM in the presence of 10 mM Mg2+. Mg2+, which in previous studies has been shown to induce a specific conformation, apparently induces a conformation different from the K+-form of the enzyme and has ATP-like effects on the enzyme. In addition it has been found that in the initial rapid phase of the digestion process the K+-ATPase activity is interrupted at a step which is very likely the interconversion of the phosphoenzyme forms E1P and E2P, since neither the K+-stimulated p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity nor the phosphorylation of the enzyme are inhibited in this phase. During the tryptic digestion in the presence of K+ there is a good correlation between the residual ATPase activity and the amount of the catalytic subunit left, suggesting that the latter is homogeneous. After tryptic digestion in the presence of K+, phosphorylation only occurs in the 42 kDa and not in the 56 kDa band. The same experiments in the presence of ATP yield only phosphorylation in the 67 kDa band and not in the 35 kDa band. A provisional model for the structure of the catalytic subunit is given.

Sarcoplasmic phosphorylase phosphatase extracted from ground skeletal muscle was recovered in a high molecular weight from (Mr = 250000). This enzyme has been purified from extracts by anion-exchange and gel chromatography to yield a preparation with three major protein components of Mr 83000, 72000, and 32000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. The phosphorylase phosphatase activity of the complex form was activated more than 10-fold by Mn2+, with a K0.5 of 10(-5) M, but not by Mg2+ or Ca2+. Manganese activation occurred over a period of several minutes and resulted primarily in an increase in Vmax of a phosphatase that was sensitive to trypsin. Activation persisted after gel filtration, and the active form of the enzyme did not contain bound manganese measured by using 54Mn2+. A contaminating p-nitrophenylphosphatase was activated by either Mn2+ (K0.5 of 10(-4) M) or Mg2+ (K0.5 of 10(-3) M). Unlike the protein phosphatase this enzyme was inactive following removal of the metal ions by gel filtration. The phosphatase complex could be dissociated into its component subunits by precipitation with 50% acetone at 20 degrees C in the presence of an inert divalent cation, reducing agent, and bovine serum albumin. Two catalytic subunits were quantitatively recovered; one of Mr 83000 was a trypsin-sensitive manganese-activated phosphatase and the second of Mr 32000 was trypsin-stable and metal ion dependent. Both enzymes were effective in catalyzing the dephosphorylation of either phosphorylase a or the regulatory subunit of adenosine cyclic 3',5'-phosphate (cAMP) dependent protein kinase, but neither subunit possessed p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity.

The K+-dependent p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity catalyzed by purified (Na+ + K+)-ATPase from pig kidney shows substrate inhibition (Ki about 9.5 mM at 2.1 mM Mg2+). Potassium antagonizes and sodium favours this inhibition. In addition , K+ reduces the apparent affinity for substrate activation, whereas p-nitrophenyl phosphate reduces the apparent affinity for K+ activation. In the absence of Mg2+, p-nitrophenyl phosphate, as well as ATP, accelerates the release of Rb+ from the Rb+ occluded unphosphorylated enzyme. With no Mg2+ and with 0.5 mM KCl, trypsin inactivation of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase as a function of time follows a single exponential but is transformed into a double exponential when 1 mM ATP or 5 mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate are also present. In the presence of 3 mM MgCl2, 5 mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate and without KCl the trypsin inactivation pattern is that described for the E1 enzyme form; the addition of 10 mM KCl changes the pattern which, after about 6 min delay, follows a single exponential. These results suggest that (i) the shifting of the enzyme toward the E1 state is the basis for substrate inhibition of the p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity of(Na+ + K+)-ATPase, and (ii) the substrate site during phosphatase activity is distinct from the low-affinity ATP site.

The presence of a soluble, Mg2+- or Mn2+-dependent p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity in Ehrlich ascites tumor cell homogenates is reported. The crude homogenate was fractionated over Sephadex G-150 gel-filtration and DEAE-Sephacel anion-exchange columns, and two p-nitrophenylphosphatase activities were resolved. The most active fraction, Peak I, was characterized and found to be similar to phosphotyrosyl-protein phosphatases characterized elsewhere in that it has optimal activity at neutral pH; it is inhibited by phosphate, Zn2+, and vanadate; and it is not inhibited by levamisole. However, Peak I differs from phosphotyrosyl-protein phosphatases in that Mg2+ or Mn2+ is required for activity, fluoride is an inhibitor, and pyrophosphate is not inhibitory. Inhibition by the phosphorylated compounds phosphotyrosine, phosphoserine, phosphothreonine, ATP, CTP, GTP, ITP, NADP, fructose 6-phosphate, glucose 1-phosphate, galactose 1-phosphate, 2-phosphogluconic acid, and 6-phosphogluconic acid was also observed. Ehrlich ascites tumor cell p-nitrophenylphosphatase is shown to be sensitive to inactivation by trypsin, N-ethylmaleimide, or heat treatments.

Synaptic vesicles isolated from bovine cerebral cortex were found to contain alkaline phosphatase activity towards p-nitrophenylphosphate and alpha-naphthyl phosphate, but not towards pyridoxal phosphate. The enzyme had an apparent molecular weight of 125,000 and co-purified with the synaptic vesicles in parallel with the specific neurotransmitter content and with the loss of contaminating components, whereas the major phosphatase which was present in the brain homogenate, with an apparent molecular weight of 140,000 purified away. The optimal pH for the enzyme activity on p-nitrophenylphosphate was 9.8. At this pH the activity was 33.4 nmol/mg protein/min, and the apparent Km value was 0.31 +/- 0.05 mM. The pH dependency of the synaptic vesicle phosphatase activity towards p-nitrophenylphosphate differed from that of the Ca2+/Mg2+-dependentt ATP hydrolysis by the synaptic vesicles. Upon mild digestion of lyzed vesicles with trypsin, phosphatase activity was reduced whereas the ATPase activity was retained suggesting that the phosphatase and the ATPase are two different enzymes. The phosphatase was reversibly inhibited by ethyleneglycol bis (aminoethyl ether) N,N'-tetracetic acid (EGTA) and activity was restored by the addition of an equimolar amount of CA2+. Magnesium ions could restore only 30% of the activity. The activity of the synaptic vesicle phosphatase was not affected by o-phenanthroline, zinc ion or by cAMP. Tetranitromethane inactivated the enzyme irreversibly, whereas phenylmethanesulfonylfluoride diisopropylfluorophosphate and p-hydroxymercurybenzoate inhibited the activity partially. The enzyme did not have a diesterase activity. Adenosine mono-, di- and triphosphate inhibited the p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity and were also hydrolyzed by the vesicle preparation. However, the different kinetic parameters obtained with the nucleotide as inhibitors or as substrates suggest that additional enzymes are involved in the hydrolysis of the adenine nucleotides in vesicle preparation.

Pyridoxal-specific phosphatase purified from human erythrocytes was inactivated by a variety of thiol-specific reagents in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The presence of pyridoxal phosphate, a substrate, or inorganic phosphate, a competitive inhibitor, protected the enzyme from inactivation. Phosphatase inactivated by disulfide reagents was reactivated by the addition of excess dithiothreitol, indicating that the inactivation was due to formation of a mixed disulfide between the reagent and a free cysteinyl residue at or near the active site of the enzyme. Incorporation of either 1 mol of 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB), 0.6 mol of iodo[3H]acetate, or 0.6 mol of N-[3H]ethylmaleimide per mol of subunit led to complete inactivation of the enzyme. High concentration of phosphate prevented the incorporation of DTNB and iodo[3H]acetate. Amino acid analysis of carboxymethylated enzyme and DTNB titration of the denatured phosphatase indicated that there may be only 1 cysteinyl residue per subunit. Modification by iodoacetate did not affect the quaternary structure of the enzyme. The phosphatase modified by iodo[3H]acetate was subjected to trypsin digestion, and the resulting peptides were separated on a reverse phase C18 column. Two radioactive peaks were obtained and contained a peptide with the N-terminal sequence of Ala-Gln-Gly-Val-Leu-Phe-Asp-Cys(Cm)-Asp-Gly-Val-Leu-X-Asn-Gly. Most of the radioactivity was released with Cys(Cm). These results indicate that the cysteinyl residue in this sequence is at or near the active site and is essential for activity. Residues 5-12 and 15 of this peptide are identical with a sequence of a yeast alkaline p-nitrophenylphosphatase, and the peptide has little homology with other mammalian phosphatases.
