A cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase, acting preferentially on IMP and GMP, has been isolated from human colon carcinoma extracts. This enzyme activity catalyzes also the transfer of the phosphate group of 5'-nucleoside monophosphates (mainly, 5'-IMP, 5'-GMP, and their deoxycounterparts) to nucleosides (preferentially inosine and deoxyinosine, but also nucleoside analogs, such as 8-azaguanosine and 2',3'-dideoxyinosine). It has been proposed that the enzyme mechanism involves the formation of a phosphorylated enzyme as an intermediate which can transfer the phosphate group either to water or to the nucleoside. The enzyme is activated by some effectors, such as ATP and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate. Results indicate that the effect of these activators is mainly to favor the transfer of the phosphate of the phosphorylated intermediate to the nucleoside (i.e., the nucleoside phosphotransferase activity). This finding is in accordance with previous suggestions that cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase cannot be considered a pure catabolic enzyme. 相似文献

1. Polynucleotide phosphorylase was purified 200-fold from Halobacterium cutirubrum. 2. It is membrane-associated and can be solubilized by sonication. 3. The purified enzyme requires a high ionic strength for both stability and activity. 4. It is Mn(2+)-dependent, has all three typical polynucleotide phosphorylase activities and is specific for nucleoside diphosphates. 5. The enzyme is of low molecular weight. 相似文献

The amino acid composition and NH2-terminal amino acid sequence of barley nuclease (EC 3.1.30.2) were determined. The amino acid composition is similar to that of mung bean nuclease, and therefore the biochemical properties of barley nuclease were characterized and compared with those of mung bean and other plant nucleases. The 3'-nucleotidase activity of barley nuclease is greater for purine than for pyrimidine ribonucleotides. The enzyme has little activity towards ribonucleoside 2' and 5'-monophosphates, and deoxyribonucleoside 3' and 5'-monophosphates, and is also inactive towards the 3'-phosphoester linkage of nucleoside cyclic 2',3' and 3',5'-monophosphates. The enzyme hydrolyzes dinucleoside monophosphates, showing strong preference for purine nucleosides as the 5' residues. Barley nuclease shows significant base preference for homoribonucleic acids, catalyzing the hydrolysis of polycytidylic acid greater than polyuridylic acid greater than polyadenylic acid much greater than polyguanylic acid. The enzyme also has preference for single-stranded nucleic acids. Hydrolysis of nucleic acids is primarily endonucleolytic, whereas the products of digestion possess 5'-phosphomonoester groups. Nuclease activity is inhibited by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and zinc is required for reactivation. Secretion of nuclease from barley aleurone layers is dependent on the hormone gibberellic acid [Brown, P.H. and Ho, T.-h. D. (1986) Plant Physiol. 82, 801-806]. Consistent with these results, gibberellic acid induces up to an eight-fold increase in the de novo synthesis of nuclease in aleurone layers. The secreted enzyme is a glycoprotein having an apparent molecular mass of 35 kDa. It consists of a single polypeptide having an asparagine-linked, high-mannose oligosaccharide. The protein portion of the molecule has a molecular mass of 33 kDa. 相似文献

The structural requirements for inhibition of bacterial RNA polymerase and rabbit liver formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase activity by a series of purine nucleoside analogs related to 6-chloro-8-aza-9-cyclopentylpurine (689) were investigated. To achieve an inhibitory effect, preincubation of the enzyme preparations with the purine analogs, prior to assay of enzyme activity, was required. The greatest inhibition was produced by analogs containing all three alterations of the purine nucleoside structure: the 6-halo, 8-aza, and 9-cyclopentyl groups. It is suggested that 689 inhibits the activity of enzymes involved in nucleic acid synthesis by a site-directed alkylation. 相似文献

An enzyme fraction containing phosphatase activity for phosphorylated eukaryotic peptide initiation factor 2 (eIF-2) has been isolated from rabbit reticulocytes and partially characterized. The enzyme efficiently catalyzes release of phosphate from the small subunit of eIF-2 (eIF-2 alpha) that has been phosphorylated by the hemin-controlled repressor. It is shown to restore activity of this phosphorylated eIF-2 for binding of methionyl-tRNAf to 40 S ribosomal subunits in a partial reaction of peptide initiation. The enzyme fraction also has phosphatase activity for eIF-2 phosphorylated in its largest subunit and for the 100,000-dalton peptide associated with the eIF-2 alpha kinase activity of the hemin-controlled repressor. The phosphoprotein phosphatase has been isolated by a procedure involving precipitation with ethanol at room temperature and has an apparent molecular weight in the order of 76,000. Its phosphatase activity for eIF-2 alpha is stimulated about 3-fold by optimal concentrations of Mn2+, but is not stimulated by Ca2+ or Mg2+. The enzyme is strongly inhibited by Fe2+ and by purine nucleoside diphosphates. 相似文献

1. Treatment of Micrococcus lysodeikticus polynucleotide phosphorylase (nucleoside diphosphate-polynucleotide nucleotidyltransferase) with trypsin causes a preferential loss of its cytidine diphosphate and uridine diphosphate polymerization activities. 2. The phosphorolytic activity of the enzyme towards polycytidylic acid is unaffected in conditions in which the cytidine diphosphate-polymerization activity without added primer is virtually abolished. 3. The treated enzyme retains its altered pattern of activities when purified fivefold by gel filtration. 4. The effect on the cytidine diphosphate-polymerization activity is due, in part, to a large increase in primer requirement as a result of proteolysis, and is qualitatively independent of the state of purity of the polynucleotide phosphorylase. 5. The enzyme is protected from trypsin degradation by nucleic acids, polynucleotides and nucleoside disphosphates. 6. A similar, but less marked differential effect, is caused by alpha-chymotrypsin. 相似文献

The protein family of ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (E-NTPDase family) contains multiple members that hydrolyze nucleoside 5'-triphosphates and nucleoside 5'-diphosphates with varying preference for the individual type of nucleotide. We report the cloning and functional expression of rat NTPDase3. The rat brain-derived cDNA has an open reading frame of 1590 bp encoding 529 amino acid residues, a calculated molecular mass of 59.1 kDa and predicted N- and C-terminal hydrophobic sequences. It shares 94.3% and 81.7% amino acid identity with the mouse and human NTPDase3, respectively, and is more closely related to cell surface-located than to the intracellularly located members of the enzyme family. The NTPDase3 gene is allocated to chromosome 8q32 and organized into 11 exons. Rat NTPDase3 expressed in CHO cells hydrolyzed both nucleoside triphosphates and nucleoside diphosphates with hydrolysis ratios of ATP:ADP of 5:1 and UTP:UDP of 8:1. After addition of ATP, ADP is formed as an intermediate product that is further hydrolyzed to AMP. The enzyme is preferentially activated by Ca(2+) over Mg(2+) and reveals an alkaline pH optimum. Immunocytochemistry confirmed expression of heterologously expressed NTPDase3 to the surface of CHO cells. PC12 cells express endogenous surface-located NTPDase3. An immunoblot analysis detects NTPDase3 in all rat brain regions investigated. An alignment of the secondary structure domains of actin conserved within the actin/HSP70/sugar kinase superfamily to those of all members of the NTPDase family reveals apparent similarity. It infers that NTPDases share the two-domain structure with members of this enzyme superfamily. 相似文献

Ectonucleotidase Activities Associated with Cholinergic Synaptosomes Isolated from Torpedo Electric Organ 总被引:9,自引:3,他引:6
Intact synaptosomes isolated from the electric organ of the electric ray Torpedo marmorata contain, at their surface, enzyme activities for the hydrolysis of externally applied nucleoside phosphates. The diazonium salt of sulfanilic acid, as a low-molecular-weight, slowly permeating, covalent inhibitory agent, selectively blocks these enzyme activities and leaves intracellular lactate dehydrogenase intact. The ectoenzymes comprise both a nucleoside triphosphate and diphosphate phosphohydrolase, as well as a 5'-nucleotidase. Activity of nonspecific ectophosphatases is absent. The nucleoside triphosphatase hydrolyzes almost equally well ATP, GTP, CTP, UTP, and ITP and is activated to a similar degree by Mg2+ or Ca2+. It has a high affinity for ATP (Km for ATP in the presence of Mg2+, 75 microM; in the presence of Ca2+, 66 microM). Maximal rates in the presence of Mg2+ and Ca2+ were very similar (34.8 and 32.5 nmol of Pi/min/mg of synaptosomal protein, respectively). Either Mg-ATP or Ca-ATP can act as a true substrate. ADP inhibits hydrolysis of ATP, but AMP is without effect. The nucleoside triphosphatase is not inhibited significantly by a number of inhibitors of mitochondrial Mg2+-ATPase or of Ca2+ + Mg2+-ATPases. It is, however, considerably inhibited by filipin and quercitin. The capacity of intact synaptosomes to hydrolyze also extracellular ADP, GDP, AMP, GMP, and IMP suggests that the nucleoside triphosphatase is part of an enzyme chain that causes complete hydrolysis of the respective nucleoside triphosphate to the nucleoside. We conclude that the cholinergic nerve terminals of the Torpedo electric organ can hydrolyze ATP released on coexocytosis with acetylcholine via an ectonucleoside triphosphatase activity that is different from known endogenous nerve terminal ATPases. The final product of the hydrolysis, adenosine, can then be salvaged by the nerve terminal for resynthesis of ATP. Other possible physiological functions of the ectonucleotidases are discussed. 相似文献

Preparations of enzymically dispersed rat pancreatic cells hydrolyse externally added nucleoside triphosphates and diphosphates at high rates in the presence of Mg2+ or Ca2+. The lack of response to specific inhibitors and activators differentiates this hydrolytic activity from that of other well-characterized ion-transporting ATPases. Studies based on inactivation of this hydrolytic activity by the covalently reacting, slowly permeating probe diazotized sulphanilic acid indicated that this nucleoside tri- and di-phosphatase is primarily a plasma-membrane ecto-enzyme. It is the major ATPase activity associated with intact cells, homogenates and isolated plasma-membrane fractions. Concanavalin A stimulates this ATPase activity of intact cells and isolated plasma-membrane fractions. The insensitivity of this ATPase activity to univalent ions and inhibitors of pancreatic electrolyte secretion, taken together with the evidence that the active site is externally located, suggests that this enzyme is not directly involved in HCO3- secretion in the pancreas. Its actual function remains unknown. 相似文献

1. Polynucleotide phosphorylase was partially purified from the inner membrane of rat liver mitochondria. 2. The partially purified particulate enzyme catalyses phosphorolysis of poly(A), poly(C), poly(U) and RNA to nucleoside diphosphates. 3. It is devoid of nucleoside diphosphate-polymerization activity. 4. Variable amounts of ADP/P(i)-exchange activity are associated with the polynucleotide phosphorylase and are probably due to a different enzyme. 5. ADP is the preferred substrate for exchange, and little or no reaction occurs with other nucleoside diphosphates, but ATP/P(i)-exchange takes place at one-third the rate observed with ADP. 6. The partially purified enzyme is free from the phosphatases found in the crude mitochondrial inner membrane, but is associated with an endonuclease activity and some adenylate kinase activity; no cytidylate kinase activity analogous to the latter was detectable. 相似文献

1. Polynucleotide phosphorylase has been isolated and partially purified from crude preparations of guinea-pig liver nuclei. 2. The enzyme is particulate and associated with RNA and lipids characteristic of membranes. 3. It has phosphorolysis and exchange activities, but the latter may be due to a contaminating enzyme. 4. The phosphorolysis activity is dependent on bivalent cations, preferably Mg(2+), has a pH optimum between 8.6 and 9.2 and is inhibited by potassium chloride and sodium chloride. 5. The enzyme catalyses phosphorolysis of poly A, poly C, poly U, rRNA and tRNA. Poly G is only phosphorolysed to a very small extent and DNA is not a substrate. 6. The enzyme appears to lack nucleoside diphosphate polymerization activity. 相似文献

Purification and characterization of wheat germ 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase which hydrolyzes nucleoside 2',3'-cyclic phosphates (N greater than p) to nucleoside 2'-phosphates has been purified 16,000-fold to near homogeneity from wheat germ. The purified enzyme is a single polypeptide with a molecular weight of 23,000-24,000. It has a pH optimum of 7.0. The apparent Km values for A greater than p, G greater than p, C greater than p, and U greater than p are 13.1, 9.2, 25.2, and 25.3 mM, respectively. Vmax values for A greater than p, G greater than p, C greater than p, and U greater than p are 2090, 280, 2140, and 600 mumol/min/mg of purified protein, respectively. Wheat germ 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase does not hydrolyze 2',3'-cyclic esters in cyclic phosphate-terminated oligoribonucleotides or in nucleoside 5'-phosphate, 2',3'-cyclic phosphate (pN greater than p). This is in contrast to the 3'-phosphodiesterase activity associated with a wheat germ RNA ligase which hydrolyzes cyclic phosphate-terminated oligonucleotides and pN greater than p substrates much more efficiently than nucleoside 2',3'-cyclic phosphates. The enzyme characterized in this work appears to be the only known 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase specific for 2',3'-cyclic mononucleotides. 相似文献

Entamoeba histolytica: localization and characterization of ca2+-dependent nucleotidases 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
T Takeuchi S Kobayashi M Masuda M Tanabe S Miura T Fujiwara 《International journal for parasitology》1981,11(3):209-215
An activity of Ca2+-dependent nucleotidase was detected in axenically-cultivated trophozoites of Entamoeba histolytica. The enzyme was concentrated by differential and sucrose density gradient centrifugation and catalyzed hydrolysis of nucleoside tri- and diphosphates and also thiamine pyrophosphate. Hydrolysis of nucleoside mono-phosphates was not affected by Ca2+. Among substrates tested, ATP was most active. Addition of Zn2+ or heat treatment almost abolished the enzyme activity. The enzyme exhibited almost the identical activity at acid and neutral pH. Among 6 bands isolated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, 4 were stained with ATP, UTP, CTP and ADP, whereas the other 2 were stained only with ATP, UTP and CTP. The concentrated enzyme preparation, primarily composed of membrane fragments, also had activities of acid phosphatase, acid inorganic pyrophosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase and Mg2+-dependent ATPase. These observations suggest that E. histolytica has 2 Ca2+-dependent nucleotidases, i.e. one Ca2+-dependent ATPase and the other Ca2+-dependent nucleoside diphosphatase or an apyrase-like enzyme, and that these nucleotidases are at least partially associated with the plasma membrane or an organelle of lysosomal nature in this parasite. 相似文献

Purification and partial characterization of a calmodulin-stimulated nucleoside triphosphatase from pea nuclei 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A nucleoside triphosphatase/deoxynucleoside triphosphatase associated with the chromatin fraction from a highly purified preparation of pea nuclei has been isolated and characterized. The purified enzyme has a molecular weight of 47,000 as checked by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and it has an isoelectric point of 6.6. In the presence of divalent cations (Mg2+ = Mn2+ greater than Ca2+), this enzyme hydrolyzes nucleoside triphosphates or deoxynucleoside triphosphates. Hydrolysis is optimal at pH 7.5 and is significantly inhibited by relatively low concentrations of quercetin, but is not sensitive to vanadate, nitrate, or oligomycin. The enzyme has a rather broad nucleotide substrate specificity and has a Km for MgATP2- of 0.6 mM. The enzyme activity is stimulated over 3-fold by Ca2+ and calmodulin, and the stimulation is blocked by the Ca2+ chelator EGTA and by the calmodulin antagonists compound 48/80 and chlorpromazine. 相似文献

Cytosolic 5′ nucleotidase II (cN-II) catalyses both the hydrolysis of a number of nucleoside monophosphates (e.g., IMP + H2O→ inosine + Pi), and the phosphate transfer from a nucleoside monophosphate donor to the 5′ position of a nucleoside acceptor (e.g., IMP + guanosine → inosine + GMP). The enzyme protein functions through the formation of a covalent phosphoenzyme intermediate, followed by the phosphate transfer either to water (phosphatase activity) or to a nucleoside (phosphotransferase activity). It has been proposed that cN-II regulates the intracellular concentration of IMP and GMP and the production of uric acid. The enzyme might also have a potential therapeutic importance, since it can phosphorylate some anti-tumoral and antiviral nucleoside analogues that are not substrates of known kinases. In this review we summarise our recent studies on the structure, regulation and function of cN-II. Via a site-directed mutagenesis approach, we have identified the amino acids involved in the catalytic mechanism and proposed a structural model of the active site. A series of in vitro studies suggests that cN-II might contribute to the regulation of 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP) level, through the so-called oxypurine cycle, and in the production of intracellular adenosine, formed by ATP degradation. 相似文献

1. The specific activity of rat and pig liver nuclear-envelope nucleoside triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.3) decreases when the system is depleted of RNA. The activity can be restored by adding high concentrations of yeast RNA to the assay medium. 2. Exogenous RNA also increases the activity of the enzyme in control envelopes (not RNA-depleted). The effect appears to be largely specific for poly(A) and poly(G); it is not stimulated by rRNA or tRNA preparations, ribonuclease-hydrolysed RNA, AMP, or double- or single-stranded DNA. 3. Inhibitors of the enzyme, in concentrations at which half-maximal inhibition of the enzyme is achieved, do not affect the percentage stimulation of the enzyme by yeast RNA. 4. The simulation is abolished by the inclusion of 150 mM-KCl or -NaCl in the assay medium, but not by increasing the assay pH to 8.5. 5. The results are discussed in the light of the possible role of the nucleoside triphosphatase in vivo in nucleo-cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein translocation. 6. It is proposed that poly(G)-stimulated Mg2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase activity should be adopted as an enzymic marker for the nuclear envelope. 相似文献

A deoxyribonuclease, which requires nucleoside triphosphate for reaction, has been purified about 150-fold from extracts of Bacillus laterosporus. Potassium phosphate and ethylene glycol stabilize the purified enzyme. The enzyme degrades double-stranded DNA about 100 times faster than heat-denatured DNA in the presence of nucleoside triphosphate. Double-stranded DNA is not degraded to any measurable extent in the absence of ATP, but the enzyme exhibits activity toward denatured DNA in the absence of nucleoside triphosphate, and this activity seems to be an intrinsic property of this enzyme protein. The optimum pH is 8.5 and the maximum activity is obtained in the copresence of Mg2+ (8.0 X 10(-3)M) and Mn2+ (7.0 X 10(-5)M). ATP and dATP are most effective and nucleoside di- or monophosphates are ineffective. ATP is converted to ADP and inorganic phosphate during the reaction and the ratio of the amount of ATP cleaved to that of hydrolyzed phosphodiester bonds of DNA is about 3:1. An inhibitor of the enzyme was observed in bacterial extracts prepared by sonic disruption; the inhibitory substance is produced in the bacteria in the later stages of cell growth. Preliminary results show that the inhibitor emerged near the void volume of a Sephadex G-200 column, and was relatively heat-stable, RNase-resistant, and DNase-sensitive. 相似文献

Cell-free supernatants from cells of Streptomyces clavuligerus (N.R.R.L. 3585), which are actively synthesizing cephamycin C, transfer a carbamoyl group from carbamoylphosphate to a 3-hydroxymethylceph-3-em-4-carboxylic acid nucleus to form a 3-carbamoyloxymethylcephem. This reaction was stimulated by nucleoside triphosphates and by a mixture of Mn2+ and Mg2+ cations. The enzyme responsible was purified 40-fold by batch absorption onto DEAE-cellulose and hydroxyapatite. The purified O-carbamoyltransferase is most active at pH 6.8. It is stabilized by phosphate anions, but is inhibited by PPi anions, (NH4)2SO4 or NaCl. The enzyme is stimulated by ATP, but it is not known whether this nucleotide acts as an effector or as a substrate. Some activity is observed with dATP, but two other analogues of ATP, in which a methylene group replaced the oxygen atom between the alpha- and beta- or the beta- and gamma-phosphorus atoms, inhibit the action of ATP itself. The enzyme synthesizes a wide range of 3-carbamoyloxymethylcephems. The structure of some of these products, for example that of cefuroxime (3-carbamoyloxymethyl-7 beta-[2-(fur-2-yl)-2-syn-methoxyiminoacetamido]ceph-3-em-4-carboxylic acid), was confirmed by their proton-n.m.r. spectra. 相似文献

A bacterium, Ochrobactrum anthropi, produced a large amount of a nucleosidase when cultivated with purine nucleosides. The nucleosidase was purified to homogeneity. The enzyme has a molecular weight of about 170,000 and consists of four identical subunits. It specifically catalyzes the irreversible N-riboside hydrolysis of purine nucleosides, the K(m) values being 11.8 to 56.3 microM. The optimal activity temperature and pH were 50 degrees C and pH 4.5 to 6.5, respectively. Pyrimidine nucleosides, purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, NAD, NADP, and nicotinamide mononucleotide are not hydrolyzed by the enzyme. The purine nucleoside hydrolyzing activity of the enzyme was inhibited (mixed inhibition) by pyrimidine nucleosides, with K(i) and K(i)' values of 0.455 to 11.2 microM. Metal ion chelators inhibited activity, and the addition of Zn(2+) or Co(2+) restored activity. A 1.5-kb DNA fragment, which contains the open reading frame encoding the nucleosidase, was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The deduced 363-amino-acid sequence including a 22-residue leader peptide is in agreement with the enzyme molecular mass and the amino acid sequences of NH(2)-terminal and internal peptides, and the enzyme is homologous to known nucleosidases from protozoan parasites. The amino acid residues forming the catalytic site and involved in binding with metal ions are well conserved in these nucleosidases. 相似文献

Nucleic acid enzymology of extremely halophilic bacteria. Halobacterium cutirubrum ribonucleic acid-dependent ribonucleic acid polymerase 总被引:8,自引:6,他引:2
1. Crude extracts of the extreme halophile Halobacterium cutirubrum contain separable DNA-dependent and RNA-dependent RNA polymerases. 2. The RNA-dependent enzyme has been purified about 2800-fold. 3. It requires RNA, preferably of high molecular weight, and all four ribonucleoside triphosphates to incorporate (14)C-labelled nucleoside triphosphate into an acid-insoluble, ribonuclease-sensitive product. 4. Both the stability and activity of the RNA polymerase are relatively insensitive to changes in potassium chloride or sodium chloride concentration, but incorporation is stimulated by both Mg(2+) and Mn(2+). 5. The molecular weight of the enzyme is about 17000-18000. 相似文献
