Lysobacter enzymogenes ATCC 29487 (UASM 495) produces an outer-membrane-associated phosphatase and an excreted phosphatase. The cell-associated enzyme was compared to phosphatases of nine other Gram-negative gliding bacteria and to that of Escherichia coli. The other three species of the genus Lysobacter also produce a particulate, cell-associated phosphatase. Antiserum prepared against the phosphatase from the outer membrane of L. enzymogenes effectively precipitated the phosphatases of two other L. enzymogenes strains and the enzymes of L. antibioticus, L. brunescens and L. gummosus. Some inhibition of the enzyme by the antiserum also was observed. No significant reaction could be detected between the antiserum and the cell-associated phosphatases of species of Cytophaga johnsonae, 'C. compacta', Myxococcus xanthus, E. coli and the excreted phosphatase of L. enzymogenes. The results indicate that the four species of the genus Lysobacter are closely related despite their physiological differences and that the outer-membrane-associated phosphatases of these organisms have different structural characteristics than the phosphatases of the other Gram-negative bacteria that were used. Furthermore, differences in the amino acid compositions of the cell-associated and the excreted phosphatase of L. enzymogenes confirm the immunological results and are in agreement with the physical and chemical differences noted between the two enzymes.  相似文献

Non-specific phosphomonoesterase activities (alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) and acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2)) were examined at the cell surface of Mycobacterium bovis BCG. Using p-nitrophenylphosphate as the substrate, peaks of phosphatase activity were detected at pH 6.0, pH 10.0 and pH 12.0, suggesting the presence of one acid phosphatase and two alkaline phosphatases with distinct optimum pH values. Contrary to the situation observed in several other microorganisms, the expression of these enzymes is not regulated by the environmental inorganic phosphate concentration.  相似文献

Alkaline phosphatase produced by HeLa cells differs in its chemical and physical properties from the enzyme found in adult organs and tissues (Cox and Griffin, 1967). In the present study HeLa cell alkaline phosphatase was compared to a fetal form of the enzyme found in human placenta. Both enzymes have approximately the same molecular weight as judged by sucrose density gradients, and the chemical and physical properties of these alkaline phosphatases are similar. The electrophoretic pattern of the HeLa cell enzyme resembles the placental alkaline phosphatase of the heterozygous FS phenotype except that it is slower moving. Double immunodiffusion using an antibody against HeLa cell alkaline phosphatase and placental and HeLa cell enzymes as antigens shows a single line of partial identity between the two enzymes, with a small spur suggesting additional antigenic sites on the HeLa cell enzyme. The data suggest that malignant cells in culture, HeLa, are producing a fetal-like alkaline phosphatase probably by derepression of the genome. However, the electrophoretic and immunological characteristics of the enzyme are altered sufficiently so that it can be distinguished from the normally produced fetal enzyme.This work was supported by U.S. Public Health Service Grant GM 15508 and the Health Research Council of the City of New York.Fourth-year student; Honors Program.Career Scientist Health Research Council of the City of New York.  相似文献

Our knowledge of the structure and function of alkaline phosphatases has increased greatly in recent years. The crystal structure of the human placental isozyme has enabled us to probe salient features of the mammalian enzymes that differ from those of the bacterial enzymes. The availability of knockout mice deficient in each of the murine alkaline phosphatase isozymes has also given deep insights into their in vivo role. This has been particularly true for probing the biological role of bone alkaline phosphatase during skeletal mineralization. Due to space constraints this mini-review focuses exclusively on structural and functional features of mammalian alkaline phosphatases as identified by crystallography and probed by site-directed mutagenesis and kinetic analysis. An emphasis is also placed on the substrate specificity of alkaline phosphatases, their catalytic properties as phosphohydrolases as well as phosphodiesterases and their structural and functional relatedness to a large superfamily of enzymes that includes nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase.  相似文献

1. Alkaline phosphatases were purified from human placenta, bovine milk, shrimp and clam with a final spec. act. of 67,000, 32,000, 22,000 and 15,000 U/mg of protein respectively. 2. The alkaline phosphatase from Meretrix lusoria is unique with its thermostability at 65 degrees C for 30 min; whereas the remaining enzymes studied, including the human placental alkaline phosphatase, are inactivated and have negligible activities. 3. The alkaline phosphatase from Penaeus monodon can be differentiated by its pH optimum at 9.0; the remaining enzymes studied have their optimal pH at 10.0. 4. The alkaline phosphatases from shrimp and clam are proposed to be applied as "reporters" in the study of mammalian cells.  相似文献

The activity of five lysosomal hydrolases (acid phosphatase, DNAase, RNAase, beta-glucosidase, beta-galactosidase), alkaline phosphatase and aldolase have been examined in tissues of the cestode Schistocephalus solidus (Müller, 1776) and the three-spined stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus (L.) forming a stable parasite-host system. As a rule, the activity of enzymes was higher in a cestode body than in fish tissues. The acid and alkaline phosphatases were the exception. The activity and variation of lysosomal nucleases and aldolase in the parasite differed notably from those in both infested and healthy hosts. The paper discusses the role of lysosomal and cytoplasmic enzymes in a cestode adaptation to parasitism, as well as in the mechanisms of the host's chemical and immunological response to infection.  相似文献

Synchronous cultures of HeLa cells were obtained by selective detachment of cells in mitosis and fluctuations in enzyme activity were followed during the subsequent cell cycle. The enzymes measured were alkaline and acid phosphatases and a nuclease active on denatured DNA at alkaline pH (alkaline DNase). Each of these enzymes showed a different pattern of activity in the cell cycle, but a temporal relationship to the DNA synthetic phase was apparent in each case. Treatment of the cultures at the beginning of the cell cycle with 15 mM thymidine did not alter the subsequent pattern of fluctuations in activity of alkaline phosphatase or of acid phosphatase, although DNA synthesis was fully inhibited by this treatment. This indicates that the pattern of activity of some enzymes is not linked to DNA replication. On the other hand, the pattern of fluctuations in the activity of alkaline DNase was abolished by thymidine treatment, and elevation of the activity of this enzyme was observed. These results suggest complex and variable relationships between phases of the cell cycle and enzyme activity, and show that inhibition of DNA synthesis is not a suitable procedure for induction of culture synchrony if enzyme activities are to be studied.  相似文献

Induced alkaline phosphatase has been extracted from osteosarcoma cells grown in tissue culture medium. The extracted enzyme has been purified. Using electrophoresis, inhibition studies, and thermolability, the enzyme was categorized as alkaline phosphatase of osseous origin. Antibodies to this enzyme were reacted against alkaline phosphatase extracted from cadaveric bone, liver, intestine, kidney and fresh placenta. The antibodies were specific against alkaline phosphatase of osseous origin only. No cross-reaction occurred with the enzyme extracted from other sources. The data derived from these studies indicate that alkaline phosphatase of bone is a specific enzyme of osseous tissue. Furthermore, the enzyme has specific antigenic and other properties which distinguish it from alkaline phosphatases from other sources. A model for in vitro production of a specific alkaline phosphatase of bone is presented.  相似文献

The biochemistry and histochemistry of Pegosomum egretti have been studied using standard techniques. Phosphatases were analysed colorimetrically; the optimum pH for acid phosphatase activity was 5.0 and for alkaline phosphatase was 10.0. The results were compared with those of other trematodes. Histochemical localization of acid and alkaline phosphatases revealed differences in enzymes activity in various tissues. These differences in the site and pattern of distribution of the two enzymes have been discussed in relation to transport of raw materials and the metabolism of the cell concerned.  相似文献

Summary A tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity was detected in the human placenta. This enzyme displayed immunological properties similar to those of the group of purple acid phosphatases that can be demonstrated with a rabbit polyclonal antibody against bovine spleen purple acid phosphatase. The placental enzyme was mainly localized immunohistochemically to neutrophil granulocytes of the maternal blood between the placental villi and within foetal capillaries using the bovine spleen antibody and the commercial monoclonal antibody M1 directed against an antigen found on mature granulocytes. A minor activity was detected in decidual cells and the syncytiotrophoblast. The presence of purple acid phosphatase in placental granulocytes may be related to special immunological conditions of pregnancy.  相似文献

Inhibition of phosphatase and sulfatase by transition-state analogues   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The inhibition constants for vanadate, chromate, molybdate, and tungstate have been determined with Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase, potato acid phosphatase, and Helix pomatia aryl sulfatase. Vanadate was a potent inhibitor of all three enzymes. Inhibition of both phosphatases followed the order WO4(2-) greater than MoO4(2-) greater than CrO4(2-). The Ki values for potato acid phosphatase were about 3 orders of magnitude lower than those for alkaline phosphatase. Aryl sulfatase followed the reverse order of inhibition by group VI oxyanions. Phenol enhanced inhibition of alkaline phosphatase by vanadate and chromate but did not affect inhibition of acid phosphatase. Phenol enhanced inhibition of aryl sulfatase by metal oxyanions in all cases following the order H2VO4- greater than CrO4(2-) greater than MoO4(2-) greater than WO4(2-), and N-acetyltyrosine ethyl ester enhanced inhibition of aryl sulfatase by H2VO4- and CrO4(2-) more strongly than did phenol. It is apparent that the effectiveness of metal oxyanions as inhibitors of phosphatases and sulfatases can be selectively enhanced in the presence of other solutes. The relevance of these observations to the effects of transition metal oxyanions on protein phosphatases in vivo is discussed.  相似文献

Boar sperm plasma membranes were purified by differential and sucrose density equilibrium centrifugation and were found to yield a single band at a density of 1.14 g/cm3. Both alkaline and acid phosphatase activities were enriched in this fraction. The alkaline phosphatase activity was optimal in 100 mM tris (hydroxymethyl) methylamine (Tris)-NaHCO3 at pH 9.9 with 0.05% Triton X-100 and 1 mM MgCl2. This activity was inhibited by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), cadmium, zinc or heating at 60 degrees C for 30 min. Also, L-homoarginine caused approximately 70% inhibition and L-phenylalanine or L-leucine caused about 10 to 20% inhibition. Acid phosphatase activity was optimal in 100 mM sodium acetate at pH 5.1 with 0.05% Triton. Sodium dodecyl sulfate, potassium fluoride (KF) or sulfhydryl reagents inhibited the activity, while EDTA or heating at 60 degrees C had no effect. These data for enzymes from boar sperm plasma membranes can be used for future work on the quantitation of the enzymes, distinguishing these two phosphatases from other phosphohydrolases, purification of the enzymes and for comparison to phosphatases in other tissues.  相似文献

Three purine mononucleotides, adenosine-, inosine- and guanosine monophosphate, were used as substrates at pH 7.4 and at 10.4 for three alkaline phosphatases (orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase (acid optimum), EC 3.1.3.1) containing similar phosphate-binding serine groups at their esteratic sites. Substrate specificity was found for the enzymes from calf intestine and bovine liver. Alkaline phosphatase from Escherichia coli was nonspecific. A substrate-dependent and pronounced inhibition with the purine analogue 1,3-dimethyl xanthine was found for the enzymes from intestine and liver, but not for alkaline phosphatase from E. coli. A substrate-independent and pronounced inhibition was found for all three enzymes with the phosphomonoester p-nitrophenol phosphate as the inhibitor. Alkaline phosphatases may play an important role in the regulation of the intracellular content of purine mononucleotides.  相似文献

Summary Claviceps purpurea strain 129 was cultivated under submerged conditions in a sucrose-citrate medium containing high (36.8 mM) or low (1.84 mM) KH2PO4 concentrations. The permeabilized cells and culture supernatants contained alkaline and acid phosphatases. In the medium containing a high phosphate concentration, the synthesis of extracellular phosphatases was repressed, but that of cellular phosphatases was not. Extracellular phosphatases, especially alkaline phosphatases, were derepressed by transferring the mycelium into a phosphate-free medium. This derepression was inhibited by cycloheximide. In the presence of cycloheximide, the activities of the cellular phosphatases decreased markedly, indicating turnover of these enzymes. The cellular acid phosphatase was inhibited by phosphate (0.025 M–0.1 M) and NaF (0.01 M) while the cellular alkaline phosphatase was only inhibited by phosphate. Both cellular and extracellular alkaline phosphatases were more sensitive to repression by phosphate than the acid phosphatases. The alkaloid synthesizing enzymes were: a) present in mycelia grown in high levels of phosphate and b) activated by decreasing the intracellular phosphate level.  相似文献

Callus calcifying cartilage alkaline phosphatase was resolved by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography into two distinct phsophatase activities. The phosphatase activity which was eluted first from the column, (phosphatase I), was active towards a variety of phosphate esters, sodium pyrophosphatase and several linear polyphosphates, while the second phosphatase activity , (phosphatase II), was active toward simple phosphate esters but not towards sodium pyrophosphate and linear oligo or polyphosphates. All the phosphate esters, sodium pyrophosphate and polyphosphates at higher concentrations were inhibitory for phosphatase I. The modulating effects of magnesium, calcium, zinc and other phosphatase modulators have been investigated. Both phosphatases from callus calcifying cartilage were found to be substrates of neuraminidase with sialic acid as the product. Besides the difference in their specificity, the phosphatases were found to be immunologically different and to have different molecular weights, strong indication that they are different enzymes.  相似文献

Protein phosphatase activity in crude leaf extracts and in purified intact chloroplasts of wheat (Triticum aestivum) and pea (Pisum sativum) was analyzed using exogenously supplied phosphoproteins or endogenous thylakoid proteins. Leaf extracts contain readily detectable amounts of protein phosphatase activity measured with either phosphohistone or phosphorylase a, substrates of mammalian protein phosphatases. No significant chloroplast protein phosphatase activity was detected using these exogenous phosphoproteins. The dephosphorylation of endogenous thylakoid light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b binding proteins in situ was inhibited by fluoride, but not by microcystin-LR or okadaic acid, diagnostic inhibitors of mammalian types 1 and 2A protein phosphatases. Additionally, no evidence for a pea chloroplast alkaline phosphatase activity was found using β-glycerolphosphate or 4-methylum-belliferyl phosphate as substrates. From these results, we conclude that phosphohistone and phosphorylase a are not useful substrates for chloroplast thylakoid protein phosphatase activity and that the chloroplast enzymes may not fit into one of the canonical classifications currently used for protein phosphatases.  相似文献

1. Acid and alkaline phosphatase activities were studied in rat and dog aortic muscle using p-nitrophenyl phosphate (p-NPP) as the substrate. Alkaline phosphatase activity was quite comparable to acid phosphatase activity in rat aortic microsomes as well as further purified plasma membranes, but considerably lower than acid phosphatase activity in dog aortic membranes. 2. Subcellular distribution of acid and alkaline phosphatase activities in these vascular muscles indicated that alkaline phosphatases and a large portion of acid phosphatase activities were primarily associated with plasma membranes and the distribution of acid phosphatase showed little resemblance to that of N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, a lysosomal marker enzyme. 3. The rat aortic plasmalemmal acid and alkaline phosphatase activities responded very differently to magnesium, fluoride, vanadate and EDTA. The alkaline phosphatase was more susceptible to heat inactivation than acid phosphatase. 4. These results suggest that these two phosphatases are likely to be two different enzymes in the smooth muscle plasma membranes. The implication of the present findings is discussed in relation to the alteration of these phosphatases in hypertensive vascular diseases.  相似文献

Nonhydrolyzable analogues of both stereoisomers of phosphotyrosine, and a series of related aryloxy (or thio) methyl and aryloxy (or thio) ethyl phosphonic acids of the general formula RX-(CH(2))(n)-PO(3)H(2) (where X=O or S and n=1 or 2), have been tested as nonhydrolyzable mimetics of phosphatase substrates. These compounds were tested against a panel of phosphatases (two alkaline phosphatases, a protein-tyrosine phosphatase, and two serine/threonine phosphatases) with different active site motifs. The compounds exhibit competitive inhibition toward all enzymes tested, with the best inhibition expressed toward the Ser/Thr phosphatases. The stereoisomers of the phosphotyrosine analogues exhibited an unexpected difference in their inhibitory properties toward the protein-tyrosine phosphatase from Yersinia. The K(i) for the d isomer is 33-fold lower than that of the l isomer, and is more than an order of magnitude lower than the reported K(m) of the substrate l-phosphotyrosine.  相似文献

The alkaline phosphatases present on isolated brush border and basal lateral membranes of rat duodenal epitheilum were examined by means of a variety of biochemical assays and physical methods. The two alkaline phosphatases have similar pH optima of 9.6–9.8, similar substrate km's for p-nitrophenyl phosphate (PNPP) of 71 micromolar, similar responses to the inhibitors 2-mercaptoethanol, theophylline, phenylalanine, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), similar sensitivities to calcium, magnesium, zinc, sodium, and potassium, and similar insensitivities to digestion with trypsin or papain. The two enzymes also exhibit similar molecular weights on SDS-polyacrylamide gels in the range 124,000–150,000, and both enzymes show an Rf value of 0.092 on Triton X-100 polyacrylamide gels, indicating similar intrinsic charges. The Vmax of the brush border enzyme is ten times greater than that of the basal lateral enzyme, 140 μmoles/mg-h as opposed to 14 μmoles/mg-h. The differences in Vmax are a reflection of the known distribution of alkaline phosphatase in rat duodenum, there being more alkaline phosphatase activity present on the brush border than on the basal lateral surface. One other major difference was observed between the two enzymes, the stimulation of the basal lateral and not the brush border alkaline phosphatase by SDS, Triton X-100, or cholate. We conclude that the enzymes are very similar to one another and probably perform similar membrane functions.  相似文献

The effect of pH during formalin fixation on acid phosphatases in human tissues was studied. Lysosomal-type acid phosphatase was sensitive to alkaline fixation, being completely inactive after fixation at pH 9.0. Prostatic and tartrate-resistant osteoclastic/macrophagic types were alkaline fixation-resistant, as was an acid phosphatase localized in endothelium, endometrial stromal cells and intestinal nerves. The latter activity was further separable into fluoride- and tartrate-sensitive beta-glycerophosphatase and fluoride-sensitive, tartrate-resistant alpha-naphthyl phosphatase. The activities appeared to represent either different, tightly associated enzymes or separate activity centres of a single enzyme. Alkaline fixation-resistant alpha-naphthyl phosphatase at endothelial, endometrial and neuronal sites was also well demonstrated in unfixed or neutral formalin-fixed sections as tartrate-resistant activity similar to classical tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, but these phosphatases appear to be antigenically different. Alkaline fixation-resistant acid phosphatase showed a restricted tissue distribution both in endothelium (mainly in vessels of abdominal organs) and at neuronal sites (only in intestinal nerves). Alkaline fixation-resistant acid phosphatase appears to represent a previously unknown or uncharacterized enzyme activity whose chemical properties could not be classified as any previously known type of acid or other phosphatases.  相似文献
