Treatment of an isoenzyme of potato apyrase of high adenosine triphosphatase/adenosine diphosphatase (ATPase/ADPase) ratio with iodine, N-acetylimidazole or tetranitromethane inactivates the ATPase activity of this enzyme faster than its ADPase activity. There was protection by substrates with the two last-named substances. This and the appearance of nitrotyrosine suggests the participation of tyrosyl residues in both enzymic activities of potato apyrase. The participation of thiol groups is excluded by the insensitivity of apyrase to p-chloromercuribenzoate. Also, 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide or carboxymethylation produce the same rate of inactivation of ATPase and ADPase activities. Substrates protect both activities from inactivation. Hydrogen peroxide and photo-oxidation inactivate ATPase activity faster than ADPase activity. There is no protection by substrates. Analysis of pH effects on V(max.) and K(m) suggest different pK values for the amino acid residues at the ATP and ADP sites.

Salivary gland homogenates of female adult Aedes aegypti hydrolyzed ATP and ADP thereby defining an apyrase activity. Activity is divalent cation dependent with an optimum pH of 9.0. ATPase and ADPase activities could not be dissociated thus suggesting the presence of a true apyrase enzyme. Apyrase activity is low on the day of emergence but increases to 160 mU per pair of glands on the second day. The site at which mosquitoes probed into warm polyacrylamide gels retains apyrase activity, confirming the secretory fate of this activity.

Using electron microscope cytochemistry and cells separated on Ficoll-Hypaque, Mg2+-dependent ATPase, ADPase and 5'-nucleotidase were predominantly localized as ectoenzymes on normal human granulocytes. Large deposits of ATPase final reaction product and more finely granular deposits of 5'-nucleotidase final reaction product were firmly attached to the outer surface of cell plasma membranes. The final reaction product from ecto-ADPase was, however, only loosely associated with the plasma membrane. In addition, finer deposits of ADPase final reaction product were seen in specific granules and in background cytoplasm. No nucleotidase phosphatase activity was localized to the alkaline phosphatase-containing granules (phosphasomes) recently described by Rustin et al. In granulocytes from patients with chronic granulocytic leukaemia, ecto-ATPase had a patchy distribution on the plasma membranes. There was considerable heterogeneity between cells with regard to ADPase and 5'-nucleotidase localization. In some cells, ADPase was seen only at both site, while in some cells no activity was detected. 5'-Nucleotidase localization was normal in some cells but lacking from many. No correlation was found between enzyme heterogeneity and the degree of morphological cell maturity.

Solubilization of rat liver lysosome membranes with octyl glucoside or lauryl sarcosinate and analysis of ATPase activities in sections of polyacrylamide gels after electrophoresis revealed one major peak at pH 8 and two peaks at pH 5. The pH 8 ATPase peak was not localized in the same peak with pH 5 ATPase activity, suggesting that these were catalyzed by different proteins. Ca2+- and Mg2+-ATPase activities at pH 8 were present in the same major peak, with Ca2+ activity predominating. The pH 8 Ca2+-ATPase was also not present in the same area of the gels as Ca2+-ADPase.

The microsomal fraction (13 000 -60 000 x g pellet) from pea stem shows a very high divalent cation-dependent, diethylstilbestrol- and orthovanadate-inhibited ATPase and ADPase activity. No detectable inorganic or organic pyrophosphatase and adenylate kinase and almost negligible activities of mitochondrial ATPase and of other phosphomonoesterases are present in this preparation. The ATPase and ADPase activities of microsomes have been solubilized with NaClO4 and then purified by gel filtration and DEAE-Sephadex fractionation to a final specific activity of 71.5 and 102 mumol Pi/min per mg for ATP and ADP, respectively. The purified enzyme hydrolyzes triphosphonucleosides (ATP, CTP, GTP, UTP) and diphosphonucleosides (ADP and to a lesser extent CDP, UDP, IDP) and presents pH optima of 6 for ATP and 7 for ADP. It requires Mg2+, Mn2+ or Ca2+ and is inhibited by diethylstilbestrol and orthovanadate. The conclusion that the ATPase and ADPase activities belong to the same enzyme is based on the following results: (1) parallel effects of diethylstilbestrol and orthovanadate on both ATPase and ADPase; (2) parallel behavior of ATPase and ADPase throughout all the purification steps; (3) non-additivity of ATPase and ADPase and (4) lack of dilution of beta-32P formed from [beta-32P]-ATP by unlabelled ADP.

Enzyme cytochemical and immunocytochemical techniques at the light and electron microscope levels were used to study the distribution of potential markers of chemical transformation in rodent bladders. In rat tumours induced by in vivo treatment with methylnitrosourea, alkaline phosphatase localization was normal on the external surface of the plasma membranes of some cells but abnormal in others where reaction product was seen only on intracellular membranes. 5'-Nucleotidase localization was abnormal in all cells, being seen on endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear membranes only, while in normal bladders only ectoenzyme localization was seen. Heterogeneity of alkaline phosphatase amd 5'-nucleotidase localization was seen on the plasma membranes of these tumours after 15 days in organ culture. Some cells produced enzyme and others did not; in other cells only parts of the membrane reacted heavily, while other regions were negative. In transformed cell cultures and tumours of mouse bladder derived by in vitro treatment of explants with dimethylbenz (a) anthracene, a bimodal pattern of alkaline phosphatase localization was seen. Cells had either normal ectoenzyme reaction product or abnormal intracellular membrane reaction product. 5'-Nucleotidase and ADPase were lost after transformation while cAMP-phosphodiesterase was retained as an ectoenzyme. Mg.ATPase and a cAMP-independent, calcium-insensitive 'protein phosphatase' were induced in transformed cell cultures. An epithelial antigen was detected in the cytoplasm of both normal and transformed cells associated with reticular cytoplasmic ground substance, plasma membrane vesicles and cytoskeletal elements.

Adenosine diphosphatase (ADPase) activity and ATPase activity were assayed in rat liver mitochondria and outer mitochondrial membrane preparations with [beta-32P]ADP and [gamma-32P]ATP as substrates. Inhibition studies were performed with the mitochondrial ATPase inhibitor oligomycin and the adenine nucleotide transport inhibitor, carboxyatractyloside. Kinetic studies were also performed with the nucleotide thiophosphate analogs adenosine 5'-O-thiophosphate, adenosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) and adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) which can act as inhibitors of phosphohydrolases. It is concluded that part of the apparent ADPase activity of intact mitochondria is mediated via ATPase, presumably in conjunction with adenylate kinase. In addition the outer mitochondrial membrane appears to show a distinct ADPase not attributable to contamination by inner membrane ATPase.

Adenosine diphosphatase (ADPase) activity was studied in rat liver with [beta-32P]ADP as a substrate. Mitochondria and outer mitochondrial membrane fractions were isolated and assayed for ADPase and various marker enzymes. ADPase activity was strikingly reduced when the outer membranes were removed from the mitochondria whether by digitonin treatment or osmotic shock. Addition of the inter-membrane space subfraction to the purified outer membranes resulted in enhanced ADPase activity. Addition of the inter-mitochondrial membrane enzyme adenylate kinase to outer membranes also produced a large stimulation of activity. The ADPase activity could also be reconstituted in vitro with adenylate kinase and either mitoplast ATPase or ouabain-sensitive (Na+ + K+ + Mg2+)-ATPase. Chloroform-released ATPase, however, was not capable of producing an ADPase activity when combined with adenylate kinase. Gel permeation chromatography of Triton-solubilised outer mitochondrial membranes was unable to resolve ADPase activity from contaminating ATPase. These results suggest that the majority of ADPase activity in rat liver mitochondria consists of the coupled activity of adenylate kinase and ATPase.

Twenty eight enzymatic activities and four macromolecular substances have been histochemically compared in rat and rabbit aortas, embedded in a common block. The study was carried out at different stages of development: 3 days, 3 months, 7-9 months and 17-19 months. In addition, lipase and cholinesterase were biochemically assayed in adult rat and rabbit aortas. The rat aortas (atheroresistant) had a better supply of aerobic oxidoreductases [linked to the pentose pathway (G6PD, 6PGD) as well as to the Krebs cycle (SD, ICD)], lipolytic enzymes (acid esterases, cholinesterase, lipase), lysosomal enzymes (acid PH/ase, Aryl-sulf/ase - Betaglu/ase), ADPase - ATPase - AlK Ph/ase Alpha GPD and acid lipids. Rabbit aortas (atherosensitive) were richer in metachromatic GAG, UDPGD (GAG Anabolism), glycogen, and related enzymes (phosphorylase, glycogen synthetase) as well as 5'-nucleotidase, Beta HBD, Lactate D and Aldolase. These differences support the hypothesis that arterial atherosensitivity is related to the activity and efficiency of smooth muscle cell energetic and catabolic processes, which govern the behaviour of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates as they penetrate the arterial wall. The factors that determine the proliferative and sclerogenic responses of arterial tissues to aggressions and, in particular, the response to lipids, remain, however, to be determined.

The plasma membrane ATPase on the human umbilical vein endothelial cell line (ECV304) was demonstrated to be an ecto-enzyme. Hydrolysis of ATP was measured by monitoring the appearance of inorganic phosphorus. Hydrolysis of extracellular ATP was insensitive to oligomycin, vanadate, ouabain and N-ethylmaleimide, compounds that inhibit the intracellular ion pumping ATPases. Beta-Glycerophosphate (1-10 mM) or p-nitrophenyl phosphate (1-10 mM) did not inhibit hydrolysis of ATP, ruling out the involvement of non-specific phosphatases. Enzyme activity in buffer that had previously been incubated with cells was < 7%, showing that the enzyme activity measured did not result from release of intracellular enzymes. Consistent with this, the cell preparations used were estimated to be > 95% intact as judged by release of cytosolic enzyme lactate dehydrogenase. The enzyme activity was Ca2-/Mg2- dependent. Gramicidin S (20 microM), suramin (100-300 microM), chlorpromazine (250 microM), trifluoperazine (50-250 microM), and thioridazine (100 microM) inhibited the hydrolysis of ATP (3 mM) by 45-80%. The percentage inhibition produced by these substances was not altered in the presence of a concentration of alpha, beta-methylene ADP (10 microM) which inhibited hydrolysis of AMP (3 mM) by 90%, suggesting that these compounds inhibit ecto-ATPase and/or ecto-ADPase. Measurements of absolute amounts of ATP released from various tissues, including the heart, have been hindered because ATP is rapidly and sequentially hydrolysed to adenosine. Identification of compounds that inhibit ATP degradation would prove to be useful to overcome this problem and would lead to the development of invaluable pharmacological tools in many other aspects of purine research.
