Effect of copper on acid phosphatase activity in yeast Yarrowia lipolytica

Acid phosphatase (APase) activity of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica increased with increasing Cu2+ concentrations in the medium. Furthermore, the enzyme in soluble form was stimulated in vitro by Cu2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Mn2+ and Mg2+ and inhibited by Ag+ and Cd2+. The most effective ion was Cu2+, especially for the enzyme from cultures in medium containing Cu2+, whereas APase activity in wall-bound fragments was only slightly activated by Cu2+. The content of cellular phosphate involving polyphosphate was decreased by adding Cu2+, regardless of whether or not the medium was rich in inorganic phosphate. Overproduction of the enzyme stimulated by Cu2+ might depend on derepression of the gene encoding the APase isozyme.

Tartrate-sensitive and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatases in Amoeba proteus

In free-living Amoeba proteus (strain B), acid phosphatase (AcP) was examined by disc-electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel. The tartrate-sensitive amebian AcP was greatly inhibited by dithiothreitol and Cu2+, and only partly inhibited by sodium orthovanadate, ammonium molybdate, EDTA, disodium salt and Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+ and Mn2+. On the contrary, it appeared to be resistant to sulfhydryl reagents--4(hydroxymercury) benzoic acid, sodium salt and N-ethylmaleimide. Unlike the tartrate-sensitive enzyme, the tartrate-resistant AcP was greatly inhibited by EDTA and partly inhibited by dithiothreitol, Mg2+ and Cu2+ (Mn2+ > Cu2+), being activated by orthovanadate, molybdate, sulfhydryl reagents, Mg2+, Ca2+ and Zn2+. Both tartrate-sensitive and tartrate-resistant AcPs lack apparently free SH-groups necessary for their catalytic activities. Using 2-naphthyl phosphate as a substrate at pH 4.5, six AcP electromorphs were revealed in cytosol and sediment, four of these being most frequently localized in the former, and two in the latter. Two other AcP electromorphs were confined to the sediment only. Depending on the quantity of sedimented amoebae making a homogenate (0.5 or 2.0 cm3), that was added to Percoll solution, the lysosomal AcP fraction in polyacrylamide gel was represented by one or two tartrate-sensitive electromorphs. Therefore, tartrate-resistant AcP in A. proteus may be a lysosomal enzyme, while tartrate-resistant AcP may correspond to serine/threonine protein phosphatase.     

Extracellular alkaline phosphatase from the filamentous fungusAspergillus caespitosus: Purification and biochemical characterization

Among 30 species of filamentous fungi isolated from Brazilian soil, Aspergillus caespitosus produced and secreted the highest levels of alkaline phosphatase in culture medium supplemented with xylan. The extracellular alkaline phosphatase was purified by DEAE-cellulose and concanavalin A-sepharose chromatography. The enzyme was a glycoprotein containing up to 56% sugar with molar mass of 134.8 kDa, according to gel filtration in Sepharose CL-6B, and 57 kDa according to SDS-PAGE. Nondenaturing electrophoresis (6% PAGE) of the purified enzyme produced a single band, suggesting that the native enzyme was a homodimer. Optima of temperature and pH were 75 degrees C and 8.5, respectively. The enzyme was stable at 50 degrees C and its activity was enhanced by 95% in the presence of Mg2+ (1 mmol/L). 4-Nitrophenyl phosphate was the preferentially hydrolyzed substrate with K(m) and upsilon lim values of 74 mumol/L and 285 mumol/s, in the absence, and 90 mumol/L and 418 mumol/s, in the presence of Mg2+, respectively. The enzyme also hydrolyzed other phosphorylated amino acids (O-phosphothreonine, O-phosphotyrosine, O-phosphoserine).

Alkaline phosphatase in Amoeba proteus

In free-living Amoeba proteus (strain B), 3 phosphatase were found after disc-electrophoresis of 10 microg of protein in PAGE and using 1-naphthyl phosphate as a substrate a pH 9.0. These phosphatases differed in their electrophoretic mobilities - "slow" (1-3 bands), "middle" (one band) and "fast" (one band). In addition to 1-naphthyl phosphate, "slow" phosphatases were able to hydrolyse 2-naphthyl phosphate and p-nitrophenyl phosphate. They were slightly activated by Mg2+, completely inhibited by 3 chelators (EDTA, EGTA and 1,10-phenanthroline), L-cysteine, sodium dodecyl sulfate and Fe2+, Zn2+ and Mn2+ (50 mM), considerably inactivated by orthovanadate, molybdate, phosphatase inhibitor cocktail 1, p-nitrophenyl phosphate, Na2HPO4, DL-dithiothreitol and urea and partly inhibited by H2O2, DL-phenylalanine, 2-mercaptoethanol, phosphatase inhibitor cocktail 2 and Ca2+. Imidazole, L-(+)-tartrate, okadaic acid, NaF and sulfhydryl reagents -p-(hydroxy-mercuri)benzoate and N-ethylmaleimide - had no influence on the activity of "slow" phosphatases. "Middle" and "fast" phosphatases, in contrast to "slow" ones, were not inactivated by 3 chelators. The "middle" phosphatase differed from the "fast" one by smaller resistance to urea, Ca2+, Mn2+, phosphates and H2O2 and greater resistance to dithiothreitol and L-(+)-tartrate. In addition, the "fast" phosphatase was inhibited by L-cysteine but the "middle" one was activated by it. Of 5 tested ions (Mg2+, Cu2+, Mn2+, Ca2+ and Zn2+), only Zn2+ reactivated "slow" phosphatases after their inactivation by EDTA treatment. The reactivation of apoenzyme was only partial (about 35 %). Thus, among phosphatases found in amoebae at pH 9.0, only "slow" ones are Zn-metalloenzymes and may be considered as alkaline phosphatases (EC 3.1.3.1). It still remains uncertain, to which particular phosphatase class "middle" and "fast" phosphatases (pH 9.0) may belong.

Predominant phosphatase in the ocular lens regulated by physiological concentrations of magnesium and calcium

A magnesium-dependent phosphatase with a molecular weight of about 55 kDa was found in the lens of chicken embryo, mouse, rabbit and bovine. It appears to be unique to the lens and, when activated by magnesium, accounts for the majority of the phosphatase activity in the lens.Phosphatases in the lens were separated by using high-resolution gel permeation column chromatography, and phosphatase activity was determined with p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) as a substrate. The 55-kDa phosphatase showed very low basal activity, but the activity was increased concentration-dependently by magnesium ion (Mg(2+)), and at 1 mM Mg(2+), this enzyme accounted for over 50% of the total phosphatase activity in the lens. Calcium potently inhibited the magnesium-activated phosphatase activity in a dose-dependent (IC(50); about 50 microM), uncompetitive manner. The phosphatase activity was high in the acidic pH range, with an optimum pH value of 5.5. The characteristics of the lens Mg(2+)-dependent phosphatase, such as substrate specificity and sensitivity to various phosphatase inhibitors, showed little similarity to those of any reported phosphatase. The Mg(2+) and Ca(2+) concentrations that were found to be effective in this study are similar to physiological concentrations in the lens; therefore it is likely that these ions physiologically regulate the 55-kDa phosphatase activity in the lens.     

金属离子对粪产碱杆菌C16的脱氮和亚硝酸盐积累的影响

【目的】研究不同金属离子对异养氨氧化细菌C16的生长和脱氮性能影响,探讨适于C16生长和脱氮的金属离子及其浓度。【方法】实验选用Mg2+、Mn2+、Fe2+、Cu2+、Zn2+5种金属离子,对C16的生长﹑脱氮性能﹑亚硝酸盐氮积累以及相关酶活性进行研究。【结果】Mg2+明显促进C16的生长和NH4+-N氧化速率;较高浓度Mn2+使得C16无法生长;原培养基中缺少Fe2+会抑制C16的生长和NH4+-N氧化速率;在原培养基中加入0.1 mmol/L的Cu2+对C16的生长和脱氮具有一定的促进作用,Cu2+使得培养基中基本无NO2--N和NH2OH的积累;不同浓度的Zn2+对C16的生长和氨氮去除有抑制作用。酶活实验结果显示,0.1 mmol/L Mg2+促进了羟胺氧化还原酶(HAO)的活性;0.1 mmol/L Cu2+促进了硝酸盐还原酶(Nar)和亚硝酸盐还原酶(Nir)的活性。【结论】Mg2+是C16生长和脱氮过程中的一种重要金属离子;加入Cu2+可避免过量亚硝酸盐积累。

Characterization of phosphoprotein phosphatases and phosphorylase phosphatase from yeast

Three peaks of protein phosphatase (phosphoprotein phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.16) activity (fractions a, b and c) acting on muscle phosphorylase (1,4-alpha-D-glucan:orthophosphate alpha-D-glucosyltransferase, EC 2.4.1.1) were separated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography of yeast extracts. In contrast to fractions a and b, only fraction c was able to liberate phosphate from 32P-labelled inactivated yeast phosphorylase. The activity of fraction c on both substrates was totally dependent on the presence of bivalent metal ions (Mg2+, Mn2+), and was activated by Mg . ATP. Following freezing in the presence of mercaptoethanol, fractions a and b were also able to dephosphorylate yeast phosphorylase. Rabbit muscle phosphoprotein phosphatase inhibitors 1 and 2 showed that yeast phosphatases acting on muscle phosphorylase were inhibited by inhibitor 2 but not by inhibitor 1. The action of fraction c on yeast phosphorylase was not inhibited by either inhibitor. The native yeast phosphorylase phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.17) was purified 8000-fold by ion-exchange chromatography, casein-Sepharose chromatography and Sephadex G-200 gel filtration. The purified enzyme was unable to dephosphorylate rabbit muscle phosphorylase a, but acted on casein phosphate (Km 3.3 mg/ml). Molecular weight was estimated to be 78 000 and pH optimum 6.5-7.5. Activity of the enzyme was dependent on bivalent metal ions (Mg2+, Mn2+) and was inhibited by fluoride (Ki 20 mM) and succinate (Ki 10 mM).     

The effect of monovalent and divalent cations on the activity of Streptococcus lactis C10 pyruvate kinase.

The pyruvate kinase (ATP: pyruvate 2-O-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.40) from Streptococcus lactis C10 had an obligatory requirement for both a monovalent cation and divalent cation. NH+4 and K+ activated the enzyme in a sigmoidal manner (nH =1.55) at similar concentrations, whereas Na+ and Li+ could only weakly activate the enzyme. Of eight divalent cations studied, only three (Co2+, Mg2+ and Mn2+) activated the enzyme. The remaining five divalent cations (Cu2+, Zn2+, Ca2+, Ni2+ and Ba2+) inhibited the Mg2+ activated enzyme to varying degrees. (Cu2+ completely inhibited activity at 0.1 mM while Ba2+, the least potent inhibitor, caused 50% inhibition at 3.2 mM). In the presence of 1 mM fructose 1,6-diphosphate (Fru-1,6-P2) the enzyme showed a different kinetic response to each of the three activating divalent cations. For Co2+, Mn2+ and Mg2+ the Hill interaction coefficients (nH) were 1.6, 1.7 and 2.3 respectively and the respective divalent cation concentrations required for 50% maximum activity were 0.9, 0.46 and 0.9 mM. Only with Mn2+ as the divalent cation was there significatn activity in the absence of Fru-1,6-P2. When Mn2+ replaced Mg2+, the Fru-1,6-P2 activation changed from sigmoidal (nH = 2.0) to hyperbolic (nH = 1.0) kinetics and the Fru-1,6-P2 concentration required for 50% maximum activity decreased from 0.35 to 0.015 mM. The cooperativity of phosphoenolpyruvate binding increased (nH 1.2 to 1.8) and the value of the phosphoenolpyruvate concentration giving half maximal velocity decreased (0.18 to 0.015 mM phosphoenolyruvate) when Mg2+ was replaced by Mn2+ in the presence of 1 mM Fru-1,6-P2. The kinetic response to ADP was not altered significantly when Mn2+ was substituted for Mg2+. The effects of pH on the binding of phosphoenolpyruvate and Fru-1,6-P2 were different depending on whether Mg2+ or Mn2+ was the divalent cation.     

Purification and properties of urease from bovine rumen.

Urease (urea amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.5) was extracted from the mixed rumen bacterial fraction of bovine rumen contents and purified 60-fold by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, calcium phosphate-gel adsorption and chromatography on hydroxyapatite. The purified enzyme had maximum activity at pH 8.0. The molecular weight was estimated to be 120000-130000. The Km for urea was 8.3 X 10(-4) M+/-1.7 X 10(-4) M. The maximum velocity was 3.2+/-0.25 mmol of urea hydrolysed/h per mg of protein. The enzyme was stabilized by 50 mM-dithiothreitol. The enzyme was not inhibited by high concentrations of EDTA or phosphate but was inhibited by Mn2+, Mg2+, Ba2+, Hg2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Ni2+ and Co2+. p-Chloromercuribenzenesulfphonate and N-ethylmaleimide inhibited the enzyme almost completely at 0.1 mM. Hydroxyurea and acetohydroxamate reversibly inhibited the enzyme. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis showed that the mixed rumen bacteria produce ureases which have identical molecular weights and electrophoretic mobility. No multiple forms of urease were detected.     

Biochemical characterization of cytosolic fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase from apple (Malus domestica) leaves

Cytosolic fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase was purified to apparent homogeneity from the leaves of apple, a sorbitol synthesizing species. The enzyme was a homotetramer with a subunit mass of 37 kDa, and was highly specific for fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (F1,6BP) with a Km of 3.1 micro M and a Vmax of 48 units (mg protein)(-1). Either Mg2+ or Mn2+ was required for its activity with a Km of 0.59 mM and 62 micro M, respectively. Li+, Ca2+, Zn2+, Cu2+ and Hg2+ inhibited whereas Mn2+ enhanced the Mg2+ activated enzyme activity. Fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) was found to be a mixed type inhibitor with a Ki of 0.47 mM. Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (F2,6BP) competitively inhibited the enzyme activity and changed the substrate saturation curve from hyperbolic to sigmoidal. AMP was a non-competitive inhibitor for the enzyme. F6P interacted with F2,6BP and AMP in a synergistic way to inhibit the enzyme activity. Dihydroxyacetone phosphate slightly inhibited the enzyme activity in the presence or absence of F2,6BP. Sorbitol increased the susceptibility of the enzyme to the inhibition by high concentrations of F1,6BP. High concentrations of sorbitol in the reaction mixture led to a reduction in the enzyme activity.
