Adenosine deaminase (adenosine aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.4.4) from Bacillus cereus NCIB 8122 has been purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration through Sephadex G-100, DEAE-Sephadex A-50 chromatography and ion-exchange HPLC on DEAE-Polyol. The enzyme activity is stabilized (at temperatures from 0 degrees C to 40 degrees C) by 50 mM NH4+ or K+, while it is irreversibly lost in the absence of these or a few other monovalent cations. Glycerol (24% by volume) helps the cation in stabilizing the enzyme activity above 40 degrees C, but also exerts per se a noticeable protecting effect at room temperature. B. cereus adenosine deaminase displays the following properties: Mr on Sephadex G-200, 68,000; Mr in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, 53,700; optimal pH-stability (in the presence of 50 mM KCl) over the range 8-11 at 4 degrees C, and maximal catalytic activity at 30 degrees C between pH 7 and 10; Km for adenosine around 50 microM over the same pH range and Km for 2'-deoxyadenosine around 400 microM.

DNases A1 and A2 have been purified to homogeneity from the hepatopancreas of Achatina fulica by a series of steps: acetate buffer extraction, ammonium sulfate precipitation and column chromatography on hydroxylapatite, phosphocellulose, Blue-Sepharose, and poly(A)-Sepharose. The purified enzymes are free of acidic phosphomonoesterase, phosphodiesterase, and RNase activities. They are slightly acidic glycoproteins with identical isoelectric point (6.90). On 0.1% SDS gel electrophoresis, DNase A2 had a molecular weight of 30,000 when dissolved in 1% SDS, but it had molecular weights of 17,500, 8,000, and 4,800 when dissolved in 1% SDS and 1% 2-mercaptoethanol. This was evidence that the enzyme consists of three different subunits joined by interchain disulfide bonds. DNases A1 and A2 are endonucleases working at acidic pH (3.5--6.0) and do not require divalent cations for their activities. The enzymes degrade poly(dA) 5 times faster and poly(dT) 3 times faster than heat-denatured DNA under optimal conditions but do not appreciably digest poly(dG) and poly(dC). We developed an analytical procedure for oligodeoxynucleotides by high-performance liquid chromatography. The phosphomonoester end group and the mode of degradation were examined by the method. The termini produced by the enzymes have 3'-phosphoryl and 5'-hydroxy end groups. The products of exhaustive hydrolysis contain di-, tri-, tetra-, and pentanucleotides and mononucleotide was barely detected. The hydrolyzing activities of DNases A1 and A2 are stimulated by polyamines such as spermine, spermidine, and putrescine, but are inhibited by synthetic polynucleotides and various drugs. Adenosine deaminase highly active on oligoadenylic acids was found in a crude DNase A fraction. The enzyme preparation has higher activity on 3'-adenylic acid than on 5'-adenylic acid. The first adenosine residue of oligoadenylic acids was deaminated considerably more rapidly than the second or succeeding ones.

Adenosine deaminase exists in its smallest molecular form (ADA-S) of < 42 kDa in primate and rodent brain, intestine and liver, human erythrocytes, avian liver and in bovine spleen and intestine. The enzyme exhibits molecular heterogeneity in monkey and chicken liver and human erythrocytes. The large form of adenosine deaminase is seen in monkey liver and intermediary forms of the enzyme in chicken liver and human erythrocytes. Large forms of the enzyme predominate in rabbit intestine. Molecular weights of adenosine deaminase molecular forms were determined by gel filtration and by non denaturing gel electrophoresis with construction of Ferguson plots. Anomalous migration of the enzyme on SDS-PAGE possibly due to charge, disulfide bonds and proline content, did not allow for molecular weight determination on denaturing gels.

The goal was to optimise a purification procedure of adenosine deaminase from human erythrocytes for the preparation of a European Reference Material. Adenosine deaminase was purified from human erythrocytes with a specific activity of 4.46 microkat/mg of protein and a catalytic concentration of 133 microkat/l. The isolation and purification procedure involved ion-exchange chromatography (STREAMLINE DEAE), and two purine riboside affinity chromatographies. The purified enzyme exhibits a single band in SDS-PAGE with a molecular weight of 41600 g/mol, and three bands in PAGE, isoelectric focusing and two-dimensional electrophoresis with pI 4.7, 4.85 and 5.0.

Adenosine deaminase (ADA) was isolated from small intestine of mice and purified to utmost homogeneity. SDS-PAGE of purified ADA gave a molecular weight of 41 kDa. Western blot analyses gave a single reactive band at 41 kDa and the other band was an associated ADA binding protein. The purified enzyme was more stable in the alkaline pH. The optimum pH and the pI values were about 7.0 and 4.96, respectively. Km values of the small intestinal ADA for adenosine and 2'-deoxyadenosine were 23 and 16 microM, respectively. Purine riboside was a competitive inhibitor with Ki of 5 microM, whereas 2'-3'-o-isopropylidene adenosine acted as an uncompetitive inhibitor (Ki 66 microM). Activity of ADA was inhibited by the presence of theophylline (-40%), caffeine (-30%), and L-cysteine (-50%). Significantly, Hg2+ (100 microM) inhibited 98% of the initial ADA activity. In addition, various purine analogs such as inosine, purine, alpha-adenosine and adenine showed variable inhibitions on the activity of ADA. Relative ADA activity towards 3'-deoxyadenosine and 6-chloropurine riboside was lower by 30% and 40%, respectively. However, the activity towards 2'-o-methyl adenosine was higher (30%) compared to the activity obtained using adenosine.

Adenosine deaminase 1 (ADA1) was purified from human and chicken liver. The purified enzyme had a molecular weight of approximately 42,000 Da on SDS-PAGE. In humans, ADA1 was mainly purified concomitant with ADA-binding protein, dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV)/CD26; however, in chickens, only ADA1 without DPP IV was purified. Both human and chicken ADA1s showed similar properties on substrate specificities, sensitivities on inhibitors, and pH profile. However, they had different affinities with adenosine-Sepharose and IgG anti-ADA1-Sepharose. Human ADA1 was not adsorbed in adenosine-Sepharose column, but chicken ADA1 was adsorbed. As for IgG anti-ADA1-Sepharose column, the results were converse. Furthermore, human ADA1 could bind to DPP IV whereas chicken ADA1 could not.

Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is involved in purine metabolism and plays an important role in the mechanism of the immune system. ADA activity is composed of two kinetically distinct isozymes, which are referred to as ADA1 and ADA2. ADA1 is widely distributed in many animals and well characterized. On the contrary, relatively little is known about ADA2. In this study, we first purified ADA2 to homogeneity from chicken liver. The purified enzyme had a molecular mass of approximately 110 kDa on gel filtration. Also, the enzyme was shown to be a homodimer with an estimated molecular mass of 61 kDa on SDS-PAGE. Following treatment with N-glycosidase, the molecular mass of ADA2 changed to 55 kDa. Several properties of the highly purified ADA2 were also investigated in this study. Furthermore, the N-terminal amino acid sequence of ADA2 was determined.

Adenosine deaminase is involved in purine metabolism and is a key enzyme for the control of the cellular levels of adenosine. Adenosine deaminase activity showed significant changes during embryogenesis of the camel tick Hyalomma dromedarii. From the elution profile of chromatography on DEAE-sepharose, three forms of enzyme (ADAI, ADAII and ADAIII) were separated. ADAII was purified to homogeneity after chromatography on Sephacryl S-200. The molecular mass of adenosine deaminase ADAII was 42 kDa for the native enzyme and represented a monomer of 42 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The enzyme had a pH optimum at 7.5 and temperature optimum at 40 degrees C with heat stability up to 40 degrees C. ADAII had a K (m) of 0.5 mM adenosine with higher affinity toward deoxyadenosine and adenosine than other purines. Ni(2+), Ba(2+), Zn(2+), Li(2+), Hg(2+) and Mg(2+) partially inhibited the ADAII. Mg(2+) was the strongest inhibitor by 91% of the enzyme's activity.

Nucleotidase cascades (apyrase, 5' nucleotidase, and adenosine deaminase (ADA) were investigated in the parasitic trematode Fasciola gigantica. ADA had the highest activity in the nucleotidase cascades. Adenosine deaminase was purified from F. gigantica through acetone precipitation and chromatography on CM-cellulose. Two forms of enzyme (ADAI, ADAII) were separated. ADAII was purified to homogeneity after chromatography on Sephacryl S-200. The molecular mass was 29 KDa for the native and denatured enzyme using gel filtration and SDS-PAGE, respectively. The enzyme (ADAII) had a pH optimum at 7.5 and a K(m) 1.0 mM adenosine, a temperature optimum at 40 degrees C and heat stability up to 40 degrees C. The order of effectiveness of metals as inhibitors was found to be Hg(2+)>Mn(2+)>Cu(2+)>Ca(2+)>Zn(2+)>Ni(2+)>Ba(2+).
