The authors elaborated and described the optimum conditions for fixation, incubation and preparation of human blood cell samples in minimum quantities for ultrastructural and ultracytochemical investigations of 5'-nucleotidase and ATPase activities. The best preservation of the blood cell ultrastructure was obtained after fixation with buffered 1% glutaraldehyde solution followed by postfixation in buffered 1% OsO4 solution. The best ultracytochemical demonstration of 5'-nucleotidase and ATPase activities was achieved after fixation in buffered 2% formaldehyde prior to cytochemical incubation. DMSO added to either fixation or incubation media was shown to damage the plasmalemma and glycocalyx structure in cell suspensions. ATPase in 5'-nucleotidase activities were revealed in plasmalemma, cytoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, mitochondria and in the nuclei, in particular, in the perinuclear space, nucleolus and chromatin. With respect to the localization and activity of nucleosidephosphatases, lymphocytes proved to be most heterogenic, with the enzyme activity level directly depending on the rate of ultrastructural differentiation in lymphocytes.  相似文献

Lipid peroxides, quantitated as lipid conjugated dienes, and (Na+,K+)-ATPase activity were assayed concurrently in brains of control rats and in three groups subjected to 30 min of reversible forebrain ischemia followed by 0, 1, and 4 hr of recirculation. Multiple small samples were taken from lateral, dorsolateral and medial cortex, hippocampus, thalamus and striatum following in situ freezing. (Na+,K+)-ATPase activity was elevated in hippocampus, dorsolateral and lateral cortex (P<0.10) and in thalamus (P<0.05) following 30 min ischemia. ATPase activity in medial cortex continued to increase during the first 1 hr of recirculation (P<0.10). Following 4 hr of recirculation, decreased enzyme activities were observed in all of these regions (lateral cortex and hippocampus,P<0.10). No changes in ATPase activity were observed in samples from striatum. Of the regional samples assayed for lipid peroxide content, the incidence of conjugated dienes as a function of recirculation time was 6% (0 hr), 23% (1 hr), and 17% (4 hr). For these samples, plots of normalized ATPase activity vs. tissue conjugated diene concentration revealed that normalized ATPase activity varied with recirculation time, but was independent of the magnitude of the lipid peroxidative process (expressed in terms of tissue conjugated diene concentration). These results suggest that disturbances in membrane structure and function presumed to arise from lipid peroxidation are not responsible for the behavior of the ATPase under the current in vivo conditions.  相似文献

Cytochemical techniques have been employed to study the localization of adenylate cyclase and (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-stimulated ATPase activities in platelets after fixation. Biochemical analysis of adenylate cyclase demonstrated a 70% reduction in activity in homogenates from fixed cells, but the residual activity could be stimulated 10--20 times by prostaglandin E1 (1 micrometer) under the same incubation conditions as employed in the cytochemical studies (e.g. media containing 2 mM lead nitrate and 10 mM NaF). Adenylate cyclase activity employing 5'-adenylyl-imiodiphosphate (AMP-P(NH)P) as substrate was found to be associated with the dense tubular system (smooth endoplasmic reticulum) in intact fixed platelets, and was apparent only when the cells were incubated with prostaglandin E1. Less activity was found along the membranes of the surface connected open canalicular system and occasionally at the outer cell surface. Enzymatic activity was blocked by the adenylate cyclase inhibitor 9-(tetrahydro-2-furyl) adenine and was not due to AMP-P(NH)P phosphohydrolase activity. The low adenylate cyclase activity in the surface membranes may be due to enzyme inactivation as a result of fixation, since a surface membrane fraction obtained by the glycerol lysis technique from unfixed cells had an adenylate cyclase specific activity equivalent to that in the microsomal membrane fraction. (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-stimulated ATPase activity was found associated with the membranes of the surface connected open canalicular system in unfixed cells. After brief fixation (5--15 min) with glutaradehyde, strong (Ca2+ + Mg2+)ATPase activity became apparent in the dense tubular system. Longer periods of fixation inactivated enzymatic activity. Addition of Ca2+ (1.0 mM) to incubation medium with low Mg2+ (0.2 mM), or increasing Mg2+ to 4.0 mM, in both cases strongly stimulated enzyme activity. The ATPase activity in the platelet membranes was not inhibited by ouabain. It is suggested that the Ca2+-stimulated ATPase and adenylate cyclase activities in the dense tubules may possibly be involved in regulation of intracellular Ca2+ transport.  相似文献

Biochemical and cytochemical techniques were used to determine whether oviduct basal bodies have ATPase activity. All studies were carried out on basal bodies isolated and purified from the chicken oviduct. These preparations contained structurally intact basal bodies with basal feet, rootlet, and alar sheet accessory structures. Whereas the specific activity of the basal body ATPase in 2 mM Ca++ or 2 mM Mg++, 1 mM ATP, pH 8.0, averaged 0.04 mumol Pi/min per mg protein, higher concentrations of either cation inhibited the enzyme activity. Furthermore, the pH optimum for this reaction was pH 8.5. In comparison, the ATPase activity in cilia purified and measured under conditions identical to those for determining the basal body ATPase activity averaged 0.07 mumol Pi/min per mg protein. However, the activity increased at higher concentrations of divalent cation, and the pH optimum was pH 10.0. By cytochemical procedures for localizing ATPase activity, ATP-dependent reaction product in isolated basal bodies was found to be confined to: (a) the cross-striations of the rootlet; (b) the outer portion of the basal foot; (c) the alar sheets; and (d) the triplet microtubules. It is concluded that basal bodiesve an intrinsic ATPase activity that, by a variety of criteria, can be distinguished from the ATPase activity found in cilia.  相似文献

Mevalonate kinase activity was demonstrated in acetone powder extracts from Agave americana leaves, flowers and scape. ATP was the most effective phosphate donor. The enzyme had an optimum pH of 7.9 in Tris-HCl buffer. Dialysis decreased the ability to phosphorylate mevalonic acid (MVA). Partially purified mevalonate kinase reached maximum activity in the presence of 2 mM Mn2+ or 6–8 mM Mg2+. Higher concentrations of Mn2+ were inhibitory, whereas higher concentrations of Mg2+ produced only a small decrease in the activity. The amount of mevalonate-5-phosphate (MVAP) formed depended on protein concentration and incubation time. During short incubations, the MVAP formed increased as protein concentration rose, whereas during prolonged incubations (1–6 hr), there was a decrease in the MVAP formed when a certain amount of protein was exceeded. It is suggested that MVAP formed was hydrolysed by a phosphatase present in the extracts. This interfering activity was eliminated when mevalonate kinase is partially purified. The apparent Km values of the enzyme from leaves were 0.05 mM for MVA and 0. 14 mM for ATP. Similar Km values are obtained with partially purified mevalonate kinase. The enzyme was purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation, Sephadex G-100 filtration and DEAE-Sephadex A-50 fractionation.  相似文献

The uptake of [32P]KH2PO4 by Percoll-purified human fibroblast lysosomes at pH 7.0 was investigated to determine if lysosomes contain a transport system recognizing phosphate. Lysosomal phosphate uptake was linear for the first 2 min, attained a steady state by 8-10 min at 37 degrees C, and was not Na+ or K+ dependent. Upon entering lysosomes, [32P]phosphate was rapidly metabolized to trichloroacetic acid-soluble and trichloroacetic acid-insoluble products. After 1-min incubations, 50% of the radioactivity recovered from lysosomes was in the form of inorganic phosphate; and after a 2.5-min incubation, 27% of the radioactivity was recovered as inorganic phosphate. When lysosomes are loaded with radioactivity by incubation with 0.03 mM [32P]KH2PO4 for 25 min and then washed at 4 degrees C, lysosomes fail to release the accumulated radioactivity during a subsequent incubation at 37 degrees C. Lysosomal phosphate uptake gave linear Arrhenius plots (Q10 = 1.8) and was inversely proportional to medium osmolarity. Phosphate uptake was maximal at pH 5-6, half-maximal at pH 7.1, with little transport activity at pH greater than 8, suggesting that the transport system recognizes the monobasic form of phosphate. Lysosomal phosphate uptake is saturable, displaying a Km of 5 microM at pH 7.0 and 37 degrees C. High specificity for phosphate is demonstrated since large concentrations of Na2SO4, NaHCO3, KCl, NaCl, 5'-AMP, or the anion transport inhibitor, 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate, have no effect on lysosomal phosphate transport. In contrast, the phosphate analog, arsenate, strongly inhibits lysosomal phosphate uptake in a competitive manner with a Ki of 7 microM. Pyridoxal phosphate, CTP, adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-imino)triphosphate (AMP-PNP), and glucose 6-phosphate were found to be noncompetitive inhibitors of lysosomal phosphate uptake displaying Ki values of 80-250 microM. When lysosomes are incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP, the lysosomal membrane ATPase hydrolyzes the ATP to form inorganic phosphate which then enters lysosomes by this lysosomal phosphate transport route.  相似文献

A simple and sensitive calcium precipitation method is described for the histochemical demonstration of myosin ATPase in striated muscle. In this technique inorganic pyrophosphate is incorporated in the fixative to protect the sites of myosin ATPase activity, thus minimizing enzymatic inactivation during fixation. The incubation medium used contains Ca++ (70 mM) as the capturing agent, ATP (4 mM) as substrate, citric acid (7.5 mM) and gelatin. During incubation, the enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and inorganic phosphate. The liberated phosphate is precipitated as “calcium-citro-phosphate”. The latter is then converted to black cobalt sulphide. The calcium-citro-phosphate is rapidly formed during incubation (within 10 min) and can not be washed off the tissue sections.  相似文献

Incubation of glycerol-extracted, Triton X-100 demembranated Tetrahymena cilia with 2–10 vol % acetone caused an enhancement of ATPase activity by 2- to 3- fold, depending on concentration and time of incubation. Axonemal ATPase activity was also increased upon incubation with bis (4-fluoro-3-nitrophenyl) sulfone (FNS). Acetone and FNS enhanced the activity of solubilized 30S dynein, but slightly inhibited that of 14S dynein. Heating at 38°C, incubation with FNS, and incubation with acetone activated axonemal ATPase to the same extent. Subsequent studies of (1) the effect of time of preincubation with a spin-labeled maleimide (SLM) at 25°C as a function of pH on the ATPase activity, (2) the concentration dependence of the inhibition of ATPase activity by N-ethylmaleimide or SLM, (3) the ratio of ATPase activity assayed at 25°C to that assayed at 0°C, and (4) the ratio of ATPase activity at pH 8.6 to that at pH 6.9 did not reveal any difference in the properties of the axonemal ATPase after near maximal enhancement by the heat, acetone, or FNS treatments. It was concluded that enhancement of ATPase activity by gentle heat treatment, by incubation with acetone (or other organic solvents), or by FNS results from a conformation change of 30S dynein. The effect of acetone and of FNS on the pellet height response (a measure of the increase in height of the pellet of cilia precipitated by brief centrifugation in the presence of ATP as compared to the absence of ATP) was also determined. Enhancement of ATPase by these reagents did not lead to a decrease in pellet height response. This observation, in conjunction with other data, indicates that there are at least 3 states of the cross-bridge cycle of dynein arms in cilia.  相似文献

A method for isolation of a soluble ATPase from rat liver mitochondria after freeze thaw cycling is described. Two enzymatically active fractions were separated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography (ATPase 1 and ATPase 2). ATPase 1 has been purified 300 fold. ATPase 1 was homogenous as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The optimum pH of the enzyme was 5.8-6.0 and the optimum temperature was 45 degrees C. The enzyme follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics: Km (9 X 10(-4) M), Vmax (23,6 mumoles Pi released X min -1 X mg protein -1). The enzyme hydrolysed nucleoside triphosphates, but was inactive upon nucleoside di and monophosphates, glucose 6-phosphate, phosphoserine, pyrophosphate and glycerol 2-phosphate. In contrast to membrane bound ATPase, cations have no effect on the enzyme activity. Nucleoside di and mono phosphates and glycerol 2 phosphate inhibited competitively the enzyme. The enzyme was not affected by oligomycin, but was stimulated by lactate, 2-mercaptoethanol and dithiothreitol.  相似文献

Summary A quantitative histochemical procedure was developed for the demonstration of purine nucleoside phosphorylase in rat liver using unfixed cryostat sections and the auxiliary enzyme xanthine oxidase. The optimum incubation medium contained 18% (w/v) poly(vinyl alcohol), 100 mM phosphate buffer, pH 8.0, 0.5 mm inosine, 0.47 mm methoxyphenazine methosulphate and 1 mm Tetranitro BT. An enzyme film consisting of xanthine oxidase was brought onto the object slides before the section was allowed to adhere. The specificity of the reaction was proven by the low amount of final reaction product generated when incubating in the absence of inosine. Moreover, 1 mm p-chloromercuribenzoic acid, a non-specific inhibitor of purine nucleoside phosphorylase, inhibited the specific reaction by 90%. The specific reaction defined as the test reaction, in the presence of substrate, minus the control reaction, in the absence of substrate was linear with incubation time at least up to 30 min as measured cytophotometrically. A high activity was observed in endothelial cells and Kupffer cells of rat liver and a lower activity in liver parenchymal cells. Pericentral hepatocytes showed an activity higher than that of periportal hepatocytes. In human liver, purine nucleoside phosphorylase activity was also high in endothelial cells and Kupffer cells, but the activity in liver parenchymal cells was only slightly lower than it was in non-parenchymal cells. The localization of the enzyme is in agreement with earlier ultrastructural findings using fixed liver tissue and the lead salt procedure.  相似文献

Intercellular secretory capillaries in parotid glands, eccrine sweat glands and intracellular secretory capillaries in parietal cells of gastric glands were demonstrated histo-chemically by the use of the Wachstein-Meisel adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) technique in the rabbit, rat and guinea pig. However, with the Wachstein-Meisel 5-nucleotidase technique, secretory capillaries were not stained. For parotid glands, optimal incubation in ATPase substrate mixture was: in rabbit, 15 min; in rat, 2.5 hr; and in guinea pig, 2 hr. For eccrine sweat glands, optimal incubation was 15 min in rabbit, 30 min in rat and 15 min in guinea pig. For parietal cells of gastric glands, optimal incubation was 3 hr for all three species. Secretory capillaries were best demonstrated in the parotid by using rabbit tissue; in eccrine sweat glands, with rat tissue, and in parietal cells, guinea pig tissue. Since ATPase activity in cell membranes of secretory cells may play a part in the mechanism of transport of secretory products from their place of formation in the acini to the excretory ducts, the Wachstein-Meisel ATPase technique can therefore be used successfully for staining secretory capillaries in many of the exocrine glands of laboratory mammals.  相似文献

The distribution of the Mg-dependent ATPase associated with a microsomal fraction of rabbit psoas muscle was studied histochemically and its localization in relation to the vesicles of the fraction and to the structure of intact fixed muscle was determined. Although enzyme activity was retained after fixation in hydroxyadipaldehyde and in glyoxal, it was lost after fixation in glutaraldehyde or after 4 hr fixation in formaldehyde. Activity was optimally demonstrated when incubations were conducted at 17°C, in media containing 125 mM Trismaleate buffer, pH 7.5, 5 mM ATP, 4 mM MgCl2, and 1 mM Pb(NO3)2. After such incubations, activity was present throughout the sarcoplasmic reticulum, but was absent from the T system. Activation by Na or K could not be demonstrated histochemically. However, the other biochemical properties of the enzyme in the isolated vesicles and in intact muscle were similar with respect to Mg dependence, substrate specificity, inhibition by Ca, N-ethyl maleimide, p-hydroxymercuribenzoate, and lack of inhibition by ouabain.  相似文献

Cryostat sections fixed 10 min in calcium formalin were incubated sequentially in 0.1% DOPA, 2 hr at 37 C, and ATPase substrate 1% hr at 37 C. The enzymatically produced calcium phosphate was visualized by 0.2% glyoxal-bis(2-hydroxyanil) (GBHA) in alkaline ethanol as a red precipitate. Nonspecific protein-bound calcium ions which obscured active sites in such formalin-fixed material were successfully removed by treatment with 0.5% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid at pH 7.0 for 1 min before treatment with GBHA. Phosphatase sites were red; DOPA active sites, black. The method was also successfully applied to the demonstration of alkaline phosphatases. Acetone fixation inhibited both enzymes; fixation in 70% alcohol suppressed the DOPA reaction and partially inhibited ATPase.  相似文献

An attempt was made to find out the optimum aeration and agitation rates on the production of bacterial rennet from Bacillus sublilis K-26 using 5% wheat bran medium in a 13 liter fermentor. The enzyme activity and the growth rate were shown to increase with an increase in the rate of agitation. The fermentation experiments carried out at an agitation rate of 400 rpm showed an approximate threefold increase in enzyme activity with a considerable decrease in the fermentation time over those agitated at 200 and 300 rpm. The beneficial effect of a higher oxygen rate was observed for enzyme production occurring at a lower agitation rate. The inoculum activity and the varying amounts of antifoam agent which were added showed no apparent effect either on the total incubation time or on the final enzyme activity. It has been suggested that an agitation rate of 400 rpm with an aeration level of 3000 cc/min are the optimum values for the efficient production of bacterial rennet from B. subtilis K-26 using 5% wheat bran medium in a 13 liter fermentor.  相似文献

Several endogenous substrate proteins of cilia from axenically grown Paramecium tetraurelia were phosphorylated in vitro by inherent protein kinases (PKs). Labeling was stimulated by cAMP and to a lesser extent by cGMP. ATP breakdown was most rapid in cilia and subciliary fractions. Using multiple substrate additions during incubations it was shown that phosphorylation was almost completed within 30 s. Very little dephosphorylation by phosphoprotein phosphatases occurred during 5 min of incubation. Proteins of molecular weight of 103 000 and 46 000 were shown to be particularly associated with axonemal structures of the cilia. No distinct differences in phosphorylation patterns were apparent in ciliary membrane vesicles of low and high buoyant density, which exhibit differential enzyme patterns. cAMP receptor proteins were identified by use of the photoaffinity label 8-azido-[32P]cAMP. Receptor proteins with apparent molecular weights of 43 000, 39 000, 37 000, 31 000 and 30 000 were probably related to the regulatory subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinases as evidenced by inhibition of incorporation of the photoaffinity label by low concentrations of cAMP. Tagging of a protein of 85 000 molecular weight was specifically inhibited by cGMP, thus in all likelihood it corresponded to a cGMP-dependent protein kinase. Corresponding autophosphorylated protein bands were observed with gamma-[32P]ATP. A functional role for protein phosphorylation in cilia of Paramecium remains to be established.  相似文献

Degradation products of the N-terminal tetrapeptide of dermorphin, H-Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Gly-OH (ALPG) and D-Arg2-substituted tetrapeptide analogs of dermorphin, H-Tyr-D-Arg-Phe-Gly-OH (ARPG), H-Tyr-D-Arg-Phe-Gly-NH2 (TDAPG-NH2) and H-Tyr-D-Arg-Phe-beta-Ala-OH (TDAPA) by enkephalin degrading enzymes were studied by using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. After 5 and 25 hr incubations of the peptides with solubilized enzymes of mouse brain or spinal cord, liberation of the appreciable Tyr1 residue was observed in ALPG but not in ARPG, TDAPG-NH2 and TDAPA. When ARPG and TDAPG-NH2 were incubated with enzymes for 25 hr, a main degradation product was the N-terminal tripeptide produced from the hydrolysis of Phe3-Gly4 bond. Conversely, TDAPA did not produce the N-terminal tripeptide after 25 hr incubation with enzymes. In the enzyme assay, Tyr1-D-Arg2 bond of ARPG, TDAPG-NH2 and TDAPA was more stable than that of ALPG to the cleavage by aminopeptidase M (AP-M). Phe3-Gly4 bond of ALPG, ARPG and TDAPG-NH2 were easily hydrolyzed by carboxypeptidase Y (CP-Y) within 3 hr incubation, whereas the hydrolysis of Phe3-beta-Ala4 bond of TDAPA by CP-Y was not observed after 3 hr incubation. The present results and previous behavioural data suggest that a potent and prolonged antinociceptive activity of the D-Arg-substituted tetrapeptides is mainly attributed to the stability of Tyr1-D-Arg2 bond against aminopeptidase of peptidases.  相似文献

New lanthanide methods for the histochemical detection of non-specific alkaline phosphatase in the light microscope are described and compared with already existing techniques for the light microscopical demonstration of this enzyme. To avoid formation of insoluble lanthanide hydroxide at alkaline pH citrate complexes with the capture ions cerium, lanthanum and didymium were used. A molar ratio of 11 mM citrate/14 mM capture reagent is proposed. For preincubated sections, pretreatment in chloroform-acetone and fixation in glutaraldehyde, for non-preincubated sections fixation in glutaraldehyde yielded the best results. 4-Methylumbelliferyl and 5-Br-4-Cl-3-indoxyl phosphate were found to be the most suitable substrates. For routine purposes 4-nitrophenyl, 1-naphthyl, 2-naphthyl and 2-glycerophosphate were also sufficient; naphthol AS phosphates were inferior but still suitable. After incubation for 5-60 min at 37 degrees C lanthanide phosphate was converted into lead phosphate which was visualized as lead sulfide. At pH 9.2-9.5 enzyme activity was demonstrated at many sites such as intestinal, uterine, placental, renal and epididymal microvillous zones, plasma membranes of arterial, sinus and capillary endothelial cells, vaginal and urethral epithelium, smooth muscle cells, myoepithelial cells as well as excretory duct cells of salivary and lacrimal glands and in secretory granules of laryngeal glands. In comparison with Gomori's calcium, Mayahara's lead, Burstone's and Pearse's azo-coupling, McGadey's tetrazolium salt and Gossrau's azoindoxyl coupling technique the lanthanide methods detected alkaline phosphatase activities at identical or additional sites depending on the respective procedure.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The Wachstein and Meisel incubation medium was used to detect ATPase activity in epimastigote, spheromastigote (amastigote), and bloodstream trypomastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi. Reaction product, indicative of enzyme activity, was associated with the plasma membrane covering the cell body and the flagellum of the parasite. No reaction product was found in the portion of the plasma membrane lining the flagellar pocket. The plasma membrane-associated ATPase activity was not inhibited by ouabain or oligomycin, was detected in incubation medium without K+, was inhibited by prolonged glutaraldehyde fixation, and its activity was diminished when Mg2+ was omitted from the incubation medium. The Ernst medium was used to detect Na+-K+-ATPase activity in T. cruzi. No reaction product indicative of the presence of this enzyme was detected. Reaction product indicative of 5'-nucleotidase was not detected in T. cruzi. Acid phosphatase activity was detected in lysosomes. Those results indicate that a Mg2+-activated ATPase is present in the plasma membrane of T. cruzi and that it can be used as an enzyme marker, provided that the mitochondrial and flagellar ATPases are inhibited, to assess the purity of plasma membrane fractions isolated from this parasite.  相似文献

An acid phosphatase from Trichoderma harzianum was purified in a single step using a phenyl-Sepharose chromatography column. A typical procedure showed 22-fold purification with 56% yield. The purified enzyme showed as a single band on SDS-PAGE with an apparent molecular weight of 57.8 kDa. The pH optimum was 4.8 and maximum activity was obtained at 55°C. The enzyme retained 60% of its activity after incubation at 55°C for 60 min. The K m and V max values for p-nitrophenyl phosphate (p-NPP) as a substrate were 165 nM and 237 nM min?1, respectively. The enzyme was partially inhibited by inorganic phosphate and strongly inhibited by tungstate. Broad substrate specificity was observed with significant activities for p-NPP, ATP, ADP, AMP, fructose 6-phosphate, glucose 1-phosphate and phenyl phosphate.  相似文献
