The virus of transmissible gastroenteritis produced sprue-like lesions in the small intestines of young pigs. These lesions were characterized by villous shortening, fusing and blunting in the jejunum and ileum. There was decreased height of the brush border and morphologic alteration of the villous epithelial cells from simple columnar to a variable cuboidal type. Accompanying these microscopic lesions were histochemical changes characterized by decreased staining intensity of acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, adenosine triphosphatase, leucine aminopeptidase, succinic dehydrogenase and malic dehydrogenase in the affected intestinal mucosa. The clinical nature of transmissible gastroenteritis in the pig together with the histopathologic and histochemical changes may provide a useful experimental model for obtaining additional basic information on enteric disturbances.

An Mg(2+)-dependent and a K(+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase were localized by cytochemistry at or near both surfaces of the cytoplasmic membrane of Myxococcus xanthus. An alkaline and an acid phosphatase resided at the external surface of the membrane or in the periplasm. All enzymes could be extracted from partially fixed cells with Mg(2+)-deficient buffers. Suboptimal external phosphate elicited dissociation of adenosine triphosphatase from the membrane but not that of the unspecific phosphatases. The dissociated enzymes migrated into the cytoplasm where they were associated mainly with cytoplasmic aggregates.

A light microscopy study on the localization of enzyme activity within atherosclerotic human intracranial arteries was performed on autopsy material obtained within 4 hours of death. The data suggests that the atherosclerotic process first goes through a proliferative phase and then a degenerative phase culminating in the formation of a plaque. In the proliferative phase, smooth muscle cell proliferation has formed a thickened intima. Tetrazolium reductase, adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and adenosine monophosphatase (AMPase) activities are present in these cells, while all dehydrogenases and acid phosphatase activities were weak or not present. As the degenerative phase commences, an area of necrosis, lipid and macrophage accumulation is formed on the lumen side of the elastica. This area increases in size until a plaque is formed. Unsaturated polar and nonpolar lipid, cholesterol, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase, and AMPase activities are associated with these areas and in foam cells, which are often found in the thickened intima of the proliferative phase. Tetrazolium reductase and ATPase activities decrease in the thickened intima as the area of necrosis increases in size, while dehydrogenase activity, except that for alpha-glycerophosphate, remains low or not present. Patterns of enzyme alterations for various stages of the disease process in intracranial arteries, the aorta and coronary arteries suggest a similar, if not identical, progression of the atherosclerotic process, irrespective of known differences in the prevalence of atherosclerosis.

1. The action of beryllium on the following enzymes has been examined: alkaline phosphatase (Escherichia coli and kidney), acid phosphatase, phosphoprotein phosphatase, apyrase (potato), adenosine triphosphatase (liver nuclei, liver mitochondria, brain microsomes), glucose 6-phosphatase, polysaccharide phosphorylases a and b, phosphoglucomutase, hexokinase, phosphoglyceromutase, ribonuclease, A-esterase (rabbit serum), cholinesterase (horse serum), chymotrypsin. Alkaline phosphatase and phosphoglucomutase are inhibited by 1mum-beryllium sulphate whereas the other enzymes are largely unaffected by 1mm-beryllium sulphate. 2. Possible mechanisms for the inhibition of phosphoglucomutase and alkaline phosphatase are discussed.

Endogenous enzyme activity can be readily and routinely demonstrated in ultrathin, frozen sections for electron microscopy. The procedure employed to obtain the best structural preservation as well as enzyme activity in thin sections involved fixation in glutaraldehyde, embedding in thiolated gelatin or pure gelatin, partial dehydration in glycerol, and sectioning in a cryostat at -35 degrees C with a slightly modified Porter-Blum microtome on which the tissue is maintained at -70 degrees C and the knife at -23 degrees C. Kidney cortex was used as test tissue, but a few other organs were occasionally used. Thin sections were floated on the surface of several incubation media routinely employed for enzyme cytochemistry. Positive, specific reactions were obtained for alkaline phosphatase in kidney brush border, for adenosine triphosphatase in brush border and in basal membranes of distal tubules, for acid phosphatase and esterase in lysosomes, and for NADH diaphorase in mitochondria. Mitochondrial ATPase was sporadically evident only in the distal tubule of the kidney. Localizations of enzyme activity reported by other technical approaches were confirmed and in some cases somewhat improved.

Staphylococus aureus, ATCC 6538P, was fractionated into protoplast membranes, mesosomal vesicles, periplasm, and cytoplasm. These fractions and the culture fluid were then assayed for various degradative enzyme activities. They were not restricted to a single fraction nor dispersed homogeneously, but were distributed predominantly (on the basis of specific activity) as follows: nuclease in the culture fluid; alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, and acid phosphatase in the periplasm; adenosine triphosphatase in the protoplast membrane; and protease (low levels) in mesosomal vesicles. No significant esterase nor cell wall hydrolytic activity was found in any fraction. S. aureus 80/81 was studied for penicillinase activity after induction with benzyl penicillin; this enzyme was localized in the mesosomal vesicles. Electron microscopy did not reveal any ultrastructural changes associated with secretion of the extracellular fraction. Overall, these studies demonstrate that degradative enzymes are located in several surface compartments and that, therefore, the mesosome does not function as a prototype lysosome in S. aureus.

Non-specific and specific phosphatases have been histochemically localized in the tissues of Avitellina lahorea, an intestinal parasite of sheep and goats. Large quantities of acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase were observed in almost all organs except the parenchyma where there were moderate amounts of acid phosphatase and no alkaline phosphatase; the reproductive ducts contained moderate amounts of alkaline phosphatase. 5-nucleotidase was observed only in the uterus, egg pouches and eggs and glucose-6-phosphatase activity was restricted to the tegument. The probable functions of these moieties at different sites are discussed.

The uteri of 8 goats (2 each at pregnancy, estrus, diestrus, and prepubertal periods) were used for histoenzymic localization of alkaline phosphatase (AKP), acid phosphatase (ACP), glucose-6-phosphatase (G6P), and adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase). In the surface and glandular epithelia of endometrium, all the enzymic reactions showed no appreciable change during pregnancy as compared with diestrus, except that the G6P activity was reduced. At estrus, the AKP reaction in the surface as well as glandular epithelia and ATPase in the glandular epithelium did not change, the ACP decreased and G6P increased in both epithelia but ATPase decreased in surface epithelium. Caruncular tissue showed increased AKP and decreased ACP and ATPase reactions at estrus, all being maximum during pregnancy. No specimen showed G6P reaction in the caruncular tissue. In prepubertal uteri, all the enzymes studied were localized in the same locations as in diestrus uteri except that ACP and G6P were not localized in the caruncular tissue. The myometrium of all the samples demonstrated only ATPase.

The study deals with the histoenzymological architecture of the rhomencephalon and mesencephalon of a fresh water turtle. Attempt has been made to see the location of phosphatases (acid and alkaline phosphatases, 5-nucleotidase, adenosine triphosphatase) in the different constituents of these brain areas. The distribution of acid phosphatase is similar to Nissl staining, hence the enzyme has been used as a marker to differentiate various nuclei in the different brain areas. Moreover, the concentration of acid phosphatase is higher in large neurons like that of Nissl substance and, therefore, all such cells are quite distinct. Alkaline phosphatase predominates in blood vessels. Neuropil and neuronal activity of this enzyme is restricted to limited nuclei, only. 5-nucleotidase is localized in all the cells as well as in the neuropil. Adenosine triphosphatase activity is quite strong in all the brain areas irrespective of their sensory and motor nature. In turtle brain it has not been possible to distinguish sensory and motor areas on the basis of phosphatases distribution as calimed in fishes and mammals by several workers. Significance of the enzymes at various locales has been brought out in the contribution.

Ultrastructural localizations of phosphatases were observed in the rat parathyroid gland. Activities of alkaline phosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase were found on the caveolae or pinocytotic vesicles of the capillary endothelia. In the parenchymal cells, they were demonstrated to be stronger both at the plasma membranes facing the pericapillary space and at their transitional portions to the lateral plasma membranes than at the remaining lateral plasma membranes including microvilli. Activities of thiamine pyrophosphatase and inosine diphosphatase were detected on one or two layers of lamellae at the inner face of the Golgi apparatus, and the localization of the latter enzyme was more restricted than that of the former. Additionally, they were sometimes observed also on the blood capillary wall. Contrasted to these enzymes, acid phosphatase activity was demonstrated on the entire Golgi lamellae besides lysosomes, but not on multivesicular bodies, vacuolar bodies and storage granules.
