The specific activity of adenosine diphosphatase (ADPase) was determined in rat tissue homogenates using a specific radioassay. 14 different tissues were sampled and activity was found in most homogenates examined. The levels ranged from very little activity in the pancreas to high levels in the duodenum and ileum. High levels of ADPase activity found in the gastrointestinal tract could be partially attributed to non-specific alkaline phosphatase. It is concluded that ADPase activity is widely distributed in rat tissues. 相似文献

The adenosine diphosphatase (ADPase) activity of rat lung has been investigated. Subcellular fractionation of lung tissue homogenates by sucrose density gradient centrifugation has shown the ADPase activity to be associated with the plasma membrane. ADPase was solubilised from the membranes and fractionated by ammonium sulphate precipitation to separate a specific, low-Km ADPase from non-specific alkaline phosphatase activity. The solubilised ADPase has a Km of 50 microM at pH 7.5 and appears to be distinct from ATPase. 相似文献

ADPase (adenosine diphosphatase) was assayed in rat liver homogenates with [beta-32P]ADP as substrate. The activity had a pH optimum of 8.0 and was strongly activated by Mg2+. The intracellular localization was determined by analytical subcellular fractionation with single-step sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation. Selective membrane perturbants were used to enhance the resolution of the various organelles. ADPase was localized to the mitochondria. Mitochondria were isolated by differential centrifugation and subfractionated by selective disruption of the inner and outer membranes. The intramitochondrial localization of ADPase was compared with various marker enzymes and was shown to be concentrated in the outer-membrane fractions. The effects of various inhibitors on the ADPase activity were determined and the possibility that the activity could be due to known enzyme systems was considered. It is concluded that ADP degradation is due to a hitherto unrecognized mitochondrial enzyme. 相似文献

The antihypercholesterolemic drug clofibrate (ethyl-α-p-chlorophenoxyisobutyrate) stimulated the latent ATPase activity and “superstimulated” the uncoupler-induced ATPase activity of rat-liver mitochondria. Addition of clofibrate decreased the turbidity of mitochondrial suspensions and released considerable amount of mitochondrial protein into solution. In these properties it closely resembled detergents like Triton X-100 and deoxycholate. However, unlike the detergents, clofibrate required the presence of a permeant cation for its disruptive action. Also, it was without any such effect on sonic submitochondrial particles. The drug enhanced the uptake of both Mg2 and Cl? by mitochondria suggesting that osmotic swelling precedes lysis. Sonic submitochondrial particles prepared in the presence of clofibrate showed a greater yield and comparable ATPase activity. 相似文献

1. The proteolipid fraction isolated from rat liver mitochondria pretreated with [3H]triphenyltin chloride is enriched in triphenyltin compared with the original mitochondria. 2. Part of this [3H]triphenyltin is eluted with a protein of Mr 5000-6000 on Sephadex LH20 chromatography. 2. Mössbauer spectra of the proteolipid fraction treated with 119Sn-enriched triethyltin chloride show a doublet which corresponds closely with that assigned previously [Farrow & Dawson (1978) Eur. J. Biochem. 86. 85-95] to the absorption of triethyltin bound to the high-affinity binding site of the mitochondrial ATPase. 相似文献

The controversial subject of mitochondrial 5'-nucleotidase in the liver was studied employing density gradient fractionation combined with a method for analyzing the distribution profiles of marker enzymes based on multiple regression analysis. Triton WR-1339 was used to improve the separation of mitochondria from lysosomes by the gradient centrifugation technique. Adenosine production was examined further using acetate to increase intramitochondrial AMP, and thus adenosine production, in incubations with gradient centrifugation-purified mitochondria. Distribution analysis of the crude homogenate showed that 5'-nucleotidase activity exists in the mitochondrial fraction. To increase the resolution of this approach with respect to mitochondria, a crude mitochondrial fraction was also studied. In this case the relative mitochondrial activity decreased but 5'-nucleotidase activity was still clearly detectable. The mitochondrial 5'-nucleotidase exhibited a Km of 94 microM and a Vmax of 31 nmol/min per mg protein for AMP. The kinetic data for the Mg2+, ATP, ADP and AOPCP sensitivity of the enzyme showed that it differs from the plasma membrane, lysosome and cytosol 5'-nucleotidases. AOPCP was only a moderate inhibitor, and ATP was a more potent inhibitor than ADP at a 1 mM concentration. The enzyme also showed a requirement of Mg2+. Acetate caused the conversion of intramitochondrial adenylates to AMP and the formation of adenosine. Adenosine concentration increased in the extramitochondrial space in a time-dependent manner, but only trace amounts of nucleotides were detected. The data show that 5'-nucleotidase activity producing adenosine exists in rat liver mitochondria and a concentration-dependent adenosine output from mitochondria by diffusion or facilitated diffusion is also suggested. 相似文献

The major proportion of rat liver glutathione S-transferase is cytosolic. Carefully washed mitochondria contain 0.25-0.47% of the cytosolic activity. Subfractionation of washed mitochondria using digitonin treatment revealed that glutathione S-transferase release did not parallel that of any of the mitochondrial marker enzymes. Glutathione S-transferase release paralleled that of lactate dehydrogenase, suggesting that these 'mitochondrial' activities are due to loosely bound cytoplasmic forms. 相似文献

Adenosine kinase is a potential target for development of new types of drugs. The COG1839 family has been defined as “adenosine-specific kinase” family based on structural analysis and the adenosine-binding ability of a family member, PAE2307. However, there has been no experimental evidence with regard to the enzymatic function of this protein family. Here we measured the enzymatic activity of TTHA1091, a COG1839 family protein from Thermus thermophilus HB8. The phosphorylation of adenosine by TTHA1091 was undetectable when ATP or ADP were used as phosphate donor. However, the degradation of ADP to AMP was detected, indicating that this protein possessed adenosine diphosphatase (ADPase) activity. The (ADPase) activity was inhibited by divalent cations and was specific to ADP and CDP. Thus, this study provides the first experimental evidence for the enzymatic function of the “adenosine-specific kinase” family and suggests a need to reexamine its functional annotation. 相似文献

Rat liver mitochondria and rat liver mitoplasts mobilize iron from ferritin by a mechanism which depends on a respiratory substrate (preferentially succinate), a small molecular weight electron mediator (FMN, phenazine methosulphate or methylene blue) and (near) anaerobic conditions.The release process under optimized conditions (approx. 50 μmol/l FMN, 1 mmol/l succinate, 0.35 mmol/l Fe(III) (as ferritin iron), 37°C and pH 7.40) amounts to 0.9–1.2 nmol iron/mg protein per min.The results suggest that ferritin might function as an intermediate in the cytosolic transport of iron to the mitochondria. 相似文献

Aldehyde dehydrogenase possessing an esterolytic activity has been purified to homogeneity from rat liver mitochondria. Steady-state kinetic studies suggest that the esterolytic reaction follows an ordered uni-bi mechanism. The formation of an acyl enzyme intermediate via nucleophilic catalysis during the esterase reaction is established kinetically using a series of substrates with varying acyl carbon chains and substituted phenyl octanoates with varying electronic effects. The enzyme was reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles. A significant increase in binding capacity is observed when the enzyme is encapsulated into liposomes containing 4% diphosphatidylglycerol. 相似文献

Rat liver mitochondria and rat liver mitoplasts mobilize iron from ferritin by a mechanism which depends on a respiratory substrate (preferentially succinate), a small molecular weight electron mediator (FMN, phenazine methosulphate or methylene blue) and (near) anaerobic conditions. The release process under optimized conditions (approx. 50 mumol/1 FMN, 1 mmol/l succinate, 0.35 mmol/1 Fe(III) (as ferritin iron), 37 degrees C and pH 7.40) amounts to 0.9--1.2 nmol iron/mg protein per min. The results suggest that ferritin might function as an intermediate in the cytosolic transport of iron to the mitochondria. 相似文献

The acid-insoluble product isolated from well-oxygenated Langendorff rat heart after perfusion with [14C]adenosine was purified by phenol extraction and subjected to specific phosphorolysis by pure polynucleotide phosphorylase. TLC analysis of the reaction mixture showed that ADP was the only radioactive product, proving that the original substance was a polyribonucleotide. Studies of the time course of labelling and of the distribution of the acid-insoluble product between the mitochondrial and nuclear fractions showed that both are labelled even after 1 min at 25 °C, but at short times and low temperature more radioactivity is found in the mitochondria. The kinetics of adenosine incorporation resemble those expected for the labelling of hnRNA and mRNA. Isolated, respiring mitochondria incorporate adenosine and adenine nucleotides into acid insoluble form by a process dependent on oxidative phosphorylation and the adenine nucleotide translocase that is specific for adenine derivatives. The results are discussed in terms of the hypothesis that the polyribonucleotide might be a storage form of adenine nucleotides: it is concluded that the bulk of the labelled product is unlikely to play a major role in energy metabolism. 相似文献

Copper containing amine oxidases (Cu-AO) represent a heterogeneous class of enzymes classified as EC 1.4.3.6. The present study reports preliminary results on the presence of a novel amine oxidase activity in rat liver mitochondria lysates. Such enzymatic activity was found in the soluble mitochondrial fraction, obtained by simple osmotic shock. The mitochondrial amine oxidase was isolated by affinity chromatography on a newly synthesised spermine-Sepharose. SDS-PAGE showed a single band at about 60 kDa. Upon chromatographic purification, the enzymatic activity was very labile. The crude enzyme activity was tested by spectrophotometric measurements, determining hydrogen peroxide production following oxidative deamination of different substrates, such as polyamines (spermine, spermidine, putrescine and cadaverine) and monoamines (dopamine and benzylamine). The activity, observed on polyamines and not on monoamines, was inhibited by semicarbazide and azide, but not by pargyline, clorgyline and l-deprenil. Enzyme specificity was tested on several diamines characterized by different carbon atom chain length in the range 2-6 carbon atoms. The highest activity was found with 1,2-diamino-ethane and the highest affinity with 1,5-diamino-pentane. The above reported results suggest the presence of a novel copper-dependent amine oxidase in liver mitochondria matrix. 相似文献
