Abstract:
The inhibitory effect of a marine-sponge toxin, okadaic acid, was examined on type 1, type 2A, type 2B and type 2C protein phosphatases as well as on a polycation-modulated (PCM) phosphatase. Of the protein phosphatases examined, the catalytic subunit of type 2A phosphatase from rabbit skeletal muscle was most potently inhibited. For the phosphorylated myosin light-chain (PMLC) phosphatase activity of the enzyme, the concentration of okadaic acid required to obtain 50% inhibition (ID50) was about 1 nM. The PMLC phosphatase activities of type 1 and PCM phosphatase were also strongly inhibited (

It is shown here that treatment of metaphase-arrested HeLa cells with okadaic acid (0.15-2.5 microM) leads to dephosphorylation of histone H1. This effect is presumably due to the specific ability of okadaic acid to inhibit protein phosphatases 1 and/or 2A, because okadaic acid tetraacetate, which is not a phosphatase inhibitor, has no effect. Dephosphorylation of H1 does not occur if okadaic acid-treated cells are simultaneously treated with 20 nM calyculin A, or if the okadaic acid concentration is 5.0 microM or greater. The mechanism behind this phenomenon is not known. However, the results

ABSTRACT Enzymes that are used as animal feed supplements should be able to withstand temperatures of 60 to 90°C, which may be reached during the feed pelleting process. The thermostability properties of three histidine acid phosphatases, Aspergillus fumigatus phytase,Aspergillus niger phytase, and A. niger optimum pH 2.5 acid phosphatase, were investigated by measuring circular dichroism, fluorescence, and enzymatic activity. The phytases ofA. fumigatus and A. niger were both denatured at temperatures between 50 and 70°C. After heat denaturation at temperatures up to 90°C, A. fumigatus phytas

Poly(A)+ RNA was isolated from human prostatic tissue and translated in vitro in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate translation assay. Acid phosphatase labeled with [35S]methionine was immunoprecipitated with an antibody against seminal plasma acid phosphatase. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the immunoprecipitate, followed by fluorography, revealed the presence of two spots (one major and one minor), both having a molecular mass of 43 kilodaltons (kDa) and an isoelectric point higher than mature acid phosphatase.

Protein phosphatases 1 and 2A (PP1 and PP2A) were identified in a variety of plant cells and found to be particulate or soluble depending on the species. In extracts prepared from oilseed-rape seeds these enzymes were associated with microsomes and more rapidly sedimenting fractions, whereas in wheat leaf extracts they were largely microsomal, the remainder being present in the soluble fraction. In pea leaf and carrot cell extracts PP1 and PP2A were almost entirely soluble. No PP1 or PP2A activity was associated with the membranes or stroma of chloroplasts in oilseed-rape seeds, pea leaves and

In the present work we have partially characterized an ecto-phosphatase activity in Crithidia deanei, using viable parasites. This enzyme hydrolyzed p-nitrophenylphosphate at a rate of 3.55 ± 0.47 nmol Pi/h x 108 cells. The dependence on p-NPP concentration shows a normal Michaelis-Menten kinetics for this phosphatase activity and the value of the apparent Km for p-NPP was 5.35 ± 0.89 mᴍ. This phosphatase activity was inhibited by the product of the reaction, the inorganic phosphate.

When screening an Escherichia coli gene library for myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) phosphatases (phytases), we discovered that the agp-encoded acid glucose-1-phosphatase also possesses this activity. Purified Agp hydrolyzes glucose-1-phosphate, p-nitrophenyl phosphate, and InsP6with pH optima, 6.5, 3.5, and 4.5, respectively, and was stable when incubated at pH values ranging from 3 to 10. Glucose-1-phosphate was hydrolyzed most efficiently at 55°C, while InsP6and p-nitrophenyl phosphate were hydrolyzed maximally at 60°C. The Agp exhibited Kmvalues of 0.39 mM, 13 mM, and 0.54 mM for the

Alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, dehydrogenase, urease and ?-glucosidase were recorded. The results showed that the intensity of metribuzin effects on the activity of enzymes depended on treatment rate, exposure time and enzyme group.
