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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

Association of inorganic-pyrophosphatase activity with human alkaline-phosphatase preparations.

Project description:1. The inorganic-pyrophosphatase activity of alkaline phosphatases prepared from human liver and small intestine was investigated at different stages of purification. 2. Both liver and intestinal preparations possessed pyrophosphatase activity at all stages of purification, and the two types of activity were not separated by gel filtration or by anion-exchange or cation-exchange chromatography. 3. After starch-gel electrophoresis of the tissue extracts, the zones of pyrophosphatase activity coincided exactly with alkaline-phosphatase zones. 4. Hydrolysis of each type of substrate was inhibited by the presence of the other, and a constant ratio of alkaline-phosphatase activity to pyrophosphatase activity was maintained during inactivation of the enzymes by incubation at 55 degrees . 5. These results are consistent with the view that alkaline phosphatases are also inorganic pyrophosphatases.

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.

Good-Practice Non-Radioactive Assays of Inorganic Pyrophosphatase Activities.

Project description:Inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) is a ubiquitous enzyme that converts pyrophosphate (PPi) to phosphate and, in this way, controls numerous biosynthetic reactions that produce PPi as a byproduct. PPase activity is generally assayed by measuring the product of the hydrolysis reaction, phosphate. This reaction is reversible, allowing PPi synthesis measurements and making PPase an excellent model enzyme for the study of phosphoanhydride bond formation. Here we summarize our long-time experience in measuring PPase activity and overview three types of the assay that are found most useful for (a) low-substrate continuous monitoring of PPi hydrolysis, (b) continuous and fixed-time measurements of PPi synthesis, and (c) high-throughput procedure for screening purposes. The assays are based on the color reactions between phosphomolybdic acid and triphenylmethane dyes or use a coupled ATP sulfurylase/luciferase enzyme assay. We also provide procedures to estimate initial velocity from the product formation curve and calculate the assay medium's composition, whose components are involved in multiple equilibria.

Influence of Metal Ions on the Immobilization of β-Glucosidase Through Protein-Inorganic Hybrids.

Project description:Immobilization of enzymes through metal-based system is demonstrated as a promising approach to enhance its properties. In this study, the influence of metals ions, including copper, cobalt and zinc (Zn) on the immobilization of β-glucosidase (BGL) through the synthesis of protein-inorganic hybrid was evaluated at 4 °C. Among these metal ions-based hybrids, Zn showed the highest encapsulation yield and relative activity of 87.5 and 207%, respectively. Immobilized BGL exhibited higher pH and temperature stability compared to free form. Thermal stability of hybrid improved up to 26-fold at 60 °C. After 10 cycles of reuse, immobilized enzyme retained 93.8% of residual activity. These results suggested that metal ions played a significant role in the enzyme immobilization as a protein-inorganic hybrid. Overall, this strategy can be potentially applied to enhance the properties of enzymes though effective encapsulation for the broad biotechnological applications.

Distinct metal ion requirements for the phosphomonoesterase and phosphodiesterase activities of calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase.

Project description:The roles of Mg(2+) and Zn(2+) ions in promoting phosphoryl transfer catalysed by alkaline phosphatase are yet to be fully characterised. We investigated the divalent metal ion requirements for the monoesterase and diesterase activities of calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase. The synergistic effect of Mg(2+) and Zn(2+) in promoting the hydrolysis of para-nitrophenyl phosphate (monoesterase reaction) by alkaline phosphatase is not observed in the hydrolysis of the diesterase substrate, bis-para-nitrophenyl phosphate. Indeed, the diesterase reaction is inhibited by concentrations of Mg(2+) that were optimal for the monoesterase reaction. This study reveals that the substrate specificities of alkaline phosphatases and related bimetalloenzymes are subject to regulation by changes in the nature and availability of cofactors, and the different cofactor requirements of the monoesterase and diesterase reactions of mammalian alkaline phosphatases could have significance for the biological functions of the enzymes.

Kinetic isotope effects for alkaline phosphatase reactions: implications for the role of active-site metal ions in catalysis.

Project description:Enzyme-catalyzed phosphoryl transfer reactions have frequently been suggested to proceed through transition states that are altered from their solution counterparts, with the alterations presumably arising from interactions with active-site functional groups. In particular, the phosphate monoester hydrolysis reaction catalyzed by Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase (AP) has been the subject of intensive scrutiny. Recent linear free energy relationship (LFER) studies suggest that AP catalyzes phosphate monoester hydrolysis through a loose transition state, similar to that in solution. To gain further insight into the nature of the transition state and active-site interactions, we have determined kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) for AP-catalyzed hydrolysis reactions with several phosphate monoester substrates. The LFER and KIE data together provide a consistent picture for the nature of the transition state for AP-catalyzed phosphate monoester hydrolysis and support previous models suggesting that the enzymatic transition state is similar to that in solution. Moreover, the KIE data provides unique information regarding specific interactions between the transition state and the active-site Zn2+ ions. These results provide strong support for a model in which electrostatic interactions between the bimetallo Zn2+ site and a nonbridging phosphate ester oxygen atom make a significant contribution to the large rate enhancement observed for AP-catalyzed phosphate monoester hydrolysis.

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

Project description: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.

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.
