Acid phosphatase activity inhibited by 1 mM sodium molybdate was detected at the surface of barley seedling roots and in the cell wall fraction isolated from barley and maize seedling roots. This enzyme hydrolyzed NPP, GP, and PPi at low pH (4.0 and below). NPP hydrolysis was stimulated by magnesium (but not calcium or manganese) ions, while PPi hydrolysis was independent of the presence of bivalent ions. The activity of phosphatase localized in the cell walls of the both crops increased in the presence of 100 microM AlCl3 or CuCl2. Stimulation of NPP hydrolysis by micromolar concentrations of aluminium and copper as well as by millimolar concentrations of magnesium decreased in the presence of 25 microM cAMP. This agrees with the previous data on the enzyme localized at the outer side of the properly oriented vesicles in the microscomal fraction of plasmalemma. The role of the root extracellular acid phosphatase loosely associated with various apoplast structures in plant adaptation to toxic effect of aluminium in the acidic soils as well as possible control of this process by cAMP secretion to the apoplast are discussed.

Biochemical properties of a termostable alkaline phosphatase obtained from the mycelium extract of A. caespitosus were described. The enzyme was purified 42-fold with 32% recovery by DEAE-cellulose and concanavalin A-Sepharose chromatography. The molar mass estimated by Sephacryl S-200 or by 7% SDS-PAGE was 138 kDa and 71 kDa, respectively, indicating a homodimer. Temperature and pH optima were 80 degrees C and pH 9.0. This enzyme was highly glycosylated (approximately 74% saccharide content). The activity was enhanced by Mg2+ (19-139%), NH4+ (64%), Na+ (51%) and Mn2+ (38%). 4-Nitrophenyl phosphate (4-NPP) was preferentially hydrolyzed, but glucose 1-phosphate (93%), UTP (67%) and O-phosphoamino acids also acted as substrates. V(lim) and K(m) were 3.78 nkat per mg protein and 270 micromol/L in the absence of Mg2+ and 7.35 nkat per mg protein and 410 micromol/L in the presence of Mg2+, using 4-NPP as substrate. The purified alkaline phosphatase removed the 5'-phosphate group of a linearized plasmid without showing DNAase activity, indicating its potential for recombinant DNA technology.
