The pyrophosphatase activity of pig kidney alkaline phosphatase and its inhibition by magnesium ions and excess of pyrophosphate.

ABSTRACT: 1. Pig kidney enzyme resembles other non-specific alkaline phosphatases in its ability to hydrolyse inorganic pyrophosphate (PP(i)). 2. Studies of enzyme velocity as a function of PP(i) concentration show that Michaelis-Menten kinetics are obeyed when a constant PP(i)/Mg(2+) concentration ratio is maintained, but velocity-substrate concentration curves are sigmoid when the concentration of PP(i) is increased but that of Mg(2+) is kept constant. The enzyme is inhibited when the total PP(i) concentration is greater than the total concentration of Mg(2+). Pyrophosphatase activity is activated by Mg(2+), but if the concentration of the metal ion is increased to a value in excess of the total PP(i) concentration Mg(2+) is then strongly inhibitory. 4. It appears that the enzyme is most active towards the complex ion MgPP(i) (2-). The enzyme probably hydrolyses PP(i) (4-) also, but this is a poorer substrate and its competition with MgPP(i) (2-) leads to inhibition. At high Mg(2+) concentrations Mg(2)PP(i) is formed. This complex appears to be a potent inhibitor. 5. Sigmoid plots of v against s and of v against i result from interactions occurring between Mg(2+) and PP(i) (4-) leading to MgPP(i) (2-) and Mg(2)PP(i), and are not indicative of allosteric behaviour.

Kinetics of alkaline phosphatase from pig kidney. Mechanism of activation by magnesium ions.

Project description:The mechanism of activation of alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) from pig kidney by Mg(2+) ions was investigated with the aid of kinetic measurements. Mg(2+) ions are essential for enzyme activity. The following model (Scheme 1 of the text) for the reaction of enzyme, substrate and Mg(2+) ions was derived: [Formula: see text] The binding of the substrate to the enzyme is independent of the binding of the activator, and vice versa. Mg(2+) must therefore play a part in the substrate decomposition. It is not possible to determine whether the Mg(2+) ions are involved directly in the catalytic process, or whether they act as regulatory effectors. Because of the strong affinity existing between the alkaline phosphatase and Mg(2+), it is necessary to adjust the metal-ion concentration with the aid of a metal buffer. In the Appendix the necessary equations are derived for calculating the concentration of free metal ions in a system with several different metal ions. A FORTRAN IV program for solving these equations and for graphic presentation of the results has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50030 at the British Library (Lending Division) (formerly the National Lending Library for Science and Technology), Boston Spa, Yorks.

Nucleoside pyrophosphatase activity associated with pig kidney alkaline phosphatase.

Project description:1. A study was made of the hydrolysis, at pH9.0, of ATP and ADP catalysed by pig kidney alkaline phosphatase. Both of these nucleoside pyrophosphates are substrates for the enzyme; K(m) values are 4x10(-5)m for ATP and 6.3x10(-5)m for ADP. V(max.) for ADP is approximately double that of ATP. 2. Above 0.1mm approximately, both ATP and ADP are inhibitory, but the inhibition is reversible by the addition of Mg(2+) ions to form MgATP(2-) or MgADP(-) complexes. The complexes, besides being non-inhibitory, are also substrates for the enzyme with K(m) values identical with those of the respective free nucleotides. 3. Mg(2+) ions are inhibitory when present in excess of ATP or ADP. The degree of inhibition is greater with ATP as substrate, but with both ATP and ADP a mixed competitive-non-competitive type of inhibition is observed. 4. It is suggested that under normal conditions the enzyme is inhibited by cellular concentrations of ATP plus ADP but that an increase in the concentration of Mg(2+) ions stimulates activity by relieving nucleoside pyrophosphate inhibition. The properties may be of importance in the regulation of the transport of bivalent cations.

Inhibition of pyrophosphatase activity of mouse duodenal lkaline phosphatase by magnesium ions.

Project description:Duodenal alkaline phosphatase of juvenile (11-day-old) mice, like other non-specific alkaline phosphatases, has the ability to hydrolyse PP(i). When a constant Mg(2+)/PP(i) concentration ratio is maintained, plots of velocity as a function of PP(i) concentration are consistent with Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Mg(2+) activates pyrophosphate hydrolysis and maximal activity is obtained at a constant Mg(2+)/PP(i) concentration ratio of 0.66. At higher ratios there is strong inhibition. At constant concentrations of Mg(2+) and increasing concentrations of PP(i), the velocity-substrate (PP(i)) concentration plots show sigmoidal dependence. By assuming that the true substrate is MgP(2)O(7) (2-) complex, and using complexity constants, the concentrations of free Mg(2+), Mg(2)P(2)O(7) and MgP(2)O(7) (2-) were calculated in assay mixtures ranging in PP(i) concentration from 0.1 to 2.5mm and in total Mg(2+) concentration from 0.6 to 2.6mm. From these data, the concentrations of added Mg(2+) and PP(i) in the assay mixtures were selected so that the velocity could be measured (1) at three fixed concentrations of free Mg(2+) ions with varied concentrations of MgP(2)O(7) (2-) and (2) at four fixed concentrations of Mg(2)P(2)O(7) with varied concentrations of MgP(2)O(7) (2-). Lineweaver-Burk and Hill plots from these data showed that the inhibition is caused by free Mg(2+) ions, of a mixed type and consistent with Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The sigmoidal dependence observed between velocity and PP(i) concentration at constant concentration of total Mg(2+) is therefore not due to allosteric inhibition. It is due to a combined effect of (1) inhibition by free Mg(2+) ions, (2) depletion of the true substrate, MgP(2)O(7) (2-), owing to the formation of Mg(2)P(2)O(7) and (3) the manner in which the concentrations of these three molecular or ionic species change when PP(i) concentration is increased maintaining the total Mg(2+) concentration constant.

Catalytic properties of alkaline phosphatase from pig kidney.

Project description:The enzymic properties of alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) from pig kidney brush-border membranes were studied. 1. It hydrolyses ortho- and pyro-phosphate esters, the rate limiting step (V(max.)) being independent of the substrate. It transphosphorylates to Tris at concentrations above 0.1m-Tris. 2. The pH optimum for hydrolysis was between 9.8 and 10. The pK of the enzyme-substrate complex is 8.7 for p-nitrophenyl phosphate and beta-glycerophosphate. Excess of substrate inhibits the enzymic activity with decreasing pH. The pK of the substrate-inhibited enzyme-substrate complex, 8.7, is very similar to that for the enzyme-substrate complex. The pK values of the free enzyme appear to be 8.7 and 7.9. 3. Inactivation studies suggest that there is an essential tyrosine residue at the active centre of the enzyme. 4. The energy of activation (E) and the heat of activation (DeltaH) at pH9.5 showed a transition at 24.8 degrees C that was unaffected by Mg(2+). 5. Kinetic and atomic-absorption analysis indicated the essential role of two Zn(2+) ions/tetrameric enzyme for an ordered association of the monomers. Zn(2+) in excess and other bivalent ions compete for a second site with Mg(2+). Mg(2+) enhances only the rate-limiting step of substrate hydrolysis. 6. Amino acid inhibition studies classified the pig kidney enzyme as an intermediate type of previously described alkaline phosphatases. It has more similarity with the enzyme from liver and bone than with that from placenta.

Inhibition of the orthophosphatase and pyrophosphatase activities of human alkaline-phosphatase preparations.

Project description:1. Inhibition of the pyrophosphatase and orthophosphatase activities of human liver and small-intestinal alkaline-phosphatase preparations by different classes of inhibitors has been studied. 2. Each type of substrate, pyrophosphate or orthophosphate, is a competitive inhibitor of hydrolysis of the other type. 3. l-Phenylalanine is a non-competitive inhibitor of both types of activity of the intestinal preparation, but inhibits neither activity of the liver enzyme. Arsenate is a competitive inhibitor of both activities of both preparations. For a given inhibitor, the values of K(i) are independent of the type of substrate used when measurements are made at the same pH. 4. Mg(2+) ions activate orthophosphatase but inhibit pyrophosphatase, except in very low concentrations. 5. These results are compatible with the presence in each tissue preparation of a single enzyme with one type of active centre, possessing both orthophosphatase and pyrophosphatase activities.

Alkaline inorganic pyrophosphatase activity of mammalian-cell alkaline phosphatase.

Project description:Alkaline phosphatase prepared from mammalian cell cultures was found to have alkaline inorganic pyrophosphatase activity. Both of these activities appear to be associated with a single protein, as demonstrated by: (1) concomitant purification of alkaline phosphatase and alkaline inorganic pyrophosphatase; (2) proportional precipitation of alkaline phosphatase and inorganic pyrophosphatase activities by titrating constant amounts of an enzyme preparation with increasing concentration of antibody; (3) immune electrophoresis, which showed that precipitin bands that have alkaline phosphatase activity also have pyrophosphatase activity; (4) inhibition of pyrophosphatase activity by cysteine, an inhibitor of alkaline phosphatase activity; (5) similar subcellular localization of the two enzyme activities as demonstrated by histochemical methods; (6) hormonal and substrate induction of alkaline phosphatase activity in mammalian cell cultures, which produced a nearly parallel rise in inorganic pyrophosphatase activity.

The influence of metal ions on the orthophosphatase and inorganic pyrophosphatase activities of human alkaline phosphatase.

Project description:1. The differential effects of adding Zn(2+) and Mg(2+) on the orthophosphatase and inorganic pyrophosphatase activities of human intestinal alkaline phosphatase were studied. 2. In the presence of excess of Zn(2+), inorganic pyrophosphatase activity is inhibited. At higher concentrations of pyrophosphate, hydrolysis of this substrate takes place, but is inhibited competitively by the Zn(2+)-pyrophosphate complex. This complex also acts as a competitive inhibitor of orthophosphate hydrolysis. 3. Excess of Mg(2+) also inhibits pyrophosphatase action by removal of substrate; at low concentrations, this ion activates pyrophosphatase, as is the case with orthophosphatase. 4. It is concluded that, when interactions between metal ions and pyrophosphate are taken into account, the effects of these ions are consistent with the view that alkaline phosphatases possess both orthophosphatase and inorganic pyrophosphatase activities.

The inhibition of pig kidney alkaline phosphatase by oxidized or reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide and related compounds.

Project description:1. The inhibition of alkaline phosphatase by NAD(+), NADH, adenosine and nicotinamide was studied. 2. All of these substances except NAD(+) act as uncompetitive inhibitors, i.e. double-reciprocal plots are parallel. NAD(+), however, is a ;mixed' inhibitor of alkaline phosphatase and is less potent than NADH. 3. Inhibition studies with pairs of the inhibitors suggest that, in spite of the difference in type of inhibition, NAD(+) and NADH bind to alkaline phosphatase at a common site. Adenosine and nicotinamide also seem to bind at the NAD site and the binding of adenosine is facilitated by nicotinamide, and vice versa. 4. The facilitation may indicate the occurrence of an induced fit for NAD(+) and NADH. Attempts to desensitize alkaline phosphatase to NAD(+) and NADH inhibition by partial denaturation were unsuccessful. 5. The results are discussed in terms of a two-site model in which separate, but interacting, regions exist on the enzyme to accommodate the adenosine and nicotinamide moieties of NAD, and a single-site model in which the adenosine part of the molecule is bound preferentially and this interacts with the nicotinamide fraction. 6. The activity of alkaline phosphatase can be changed fourfold by alteration of the NAD(+)/NADH ratio. This sensitivity to the redox state of the coenzyme could be a means of controlling phosphatase activity.

The reversible inactivation of pig kidney alkaline phosphatase at low pH.

Project description:1. Pig kidney alkaline phosphatase is inactivated by treatment with acid at 0 degrees . 2. Inactivated enzyme can be partially reactivated by incubation at 30 degrees in neutral or alkaline buffer. The amount of reactivation that occurs depends on the degree of acid treatment; enzyme that has been inactivated below pH3.3 shows very little reactivation. 3. Studies of the kinetics of reactivation indicate that the process is greatly accelerated by increasing temperature and proceeds by a unimolecular mechanism. The reactivated enzyme has electrophoretic and gel-filtration properties identical with those of non-treated enzyme. 4. The results can be best explained by assuming that a lowering of the pH causes a reversible conformational change of the alkaline phosphatase molecule to a form that is no longer enzymically active but is very susceptible to permanent denaturation by prolonged acid treatment. A reactivation mechanism involving sub-unit recombination seems unlikely.

Alkaline phosphatase from pig kidney. Method of purification and molecular properties.

Project description:Alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) from pig kidney brush-border membranes was solubilized from membrane precipitates by butan-1-ol at a critical pH of 7.0. The 12000-fold purification procedure included (NH(4))(2)SO(4) precipitation, DEAE-and TEAE-cellulose chromatography, Sephadex G-200 gel filtration and neuraminidase digestion followed by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The purified protein contained 20% (w/w) carbohydrate and had mol.wt. 150000-156000 as estimated by Sephadex filtration and ultracentrifuge analysis. It was a tetrameric glycoprotein consisting of identical subunits, and it had a molecular activity at 25 degrees C of 2600s(-1) per tetramer. Its concentration in kidney was estimated to be 8.5-8.8mg/kg.
