A total of 13 phosphonate analogues of bis(5'-adenosyl) tetraphosphate (AppppA) have been tested as substrates and inhibitors of the asymmetrically cleaving bis(5'-nucleosidyl) tetraphosphatase (NppppNase) from Artemia and the symmetrically cleaving NppppNase from Escherichia coli. With the Artemia enzyme, the substrate efficiency of beta beta'-substituted compounds decreased with decreasing substituent electronegativity (O greater than CF2 greater than CHF greater than CCl2 greater than CHCl greater than CH2) such that AppCF2ppA and AppCH2ppA were hydrolyzed at 70% and 2.5% of the rate of AppppA, respectively. These compounds were competitive inhibitors of this enzyme with Ki values that generally also decreased with electronegativity from 12 microM for AppCF2ppA to 0.4 microM for AppCH2ppA (Km for AppppA = 33 microM). AppCH = CHppA and AppCH2CH2ppA were neither effective substrates nor inhibitors of the Artemia enzyme. Alpha beta,alpha'beta'-Disubstituted analogues were generally less effective inhibitors with Ki values ranging from 23 microM (ApCH2ppCH2pA) to greater than 1.5 mM (ApCH2CH2ppCH2CH2pA). However, they displayed a low and unexpected rate of symmetrical cleavage by the Artemia enzyme: e.g., ApCHFppCHFpA yielded ApCHFp at 3% of the rate of AppppA breakdown. Both sets of analogues were also competitive inhibitors of the E. coli NppppNase with Ki values ranging from 7 microM (AppCH2ppA) to 250 microM (ApCH2CH2ppCH2CH2pA) (Km for AppppA = 28 microM). The only alpha beta,alpha'beta'-disubstituted analogue to be hydrolyzed by the E. coli enzyme was ApCF2ppCF2pA at 0.2% of the rate of AppppA; however, several of the beta beta'-substituted compounds showed a limited degree of asymmetrical cleavage.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Six new methylenephosphonate analogues of P1P4-bis-(5',5'''-adenosyl) tetraphosphate, Ap4A, having P2-P3 carbon bridges CF2, CCl2 and CH2CH2 or P1-P2 and P3-P4 carbon bridges CF2, CCl2 and CH2CH2 in the tetraphosphate chain, were examined as substrates or inhibitors for two specific Ap4A-degrading enzymes: (asymmetrical) Ap4A hydrolase (EC 3.6.1.17) from yellow-lupin seeds and (symmetrical) Ap4A hydrolase (EC 3.6.1.41) from Escherichia coli. All analogues in which the central oxygen atom was replaced by a stable carbon bridge were hydrolysed by the asymmetrical hydrolase (CF2 greater than CCl2 greater than O greater than CHBr greater than CH2 greater than CH2CH2). As expected, these analogues were not hydrolysed by the symmetrical hydrolase, which was also unable to act on analogues having P1-P2 and P3-P4 carbon bridges.

The diadenosine 5',5'''-P1,P4-tetraphosphate (asymmetrical) hydrolase (EC 3.6.1.17) from human placenta has been purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, gel filtration on Sephadex G-100, and affinity elution from red Sepharose. The enzyme is a single polypeptide of M(r) 19,200. It exhibits maximum (100%) activity at pH 7.3 in the presence of 3 mM MgCl2 and 60, 50, and 40% of the activity in 1 mM CoCl2, 0.1 mM ZnCl2, and 0.5 mM MnCl2, respectively. The Km value calculated for diadenosine tetraphosphate in the presence of Mg2+ is 10 microM and in the presence of Zn2+ 40 microM. Adenosine 5'-tetraphosphate, guanosine 5'-tetraphosphate, and fluoride proved to be inhibitors of the diadenosine tetraphosphate hydrolase; the I50 values were 6, 10, and 20 microM, respectively. Diguanosine tetraphosphate, bis-2,6-diaminopurine beta-D-ribofuranoside tetraphosphate, and diadenosine pentaphosphate were substrates for the hydrolase; relative velocities of hydrolysis estimated for 0.5 mM diadenosine tetraphosphate and these other substrates were 1:0.51:0.44:0.20, respectively. Diadenosine tetraphosphate analogues with P2-P3 bridges such as -CF2-, -CCl2-, and -CH2- were hydrolyzed to adenosine 5'-phosphate and the corresponding adenosine 5'-triphosphate analogue.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
