[Isolation and properties of tripolyphosphatase from Neurospora crassa].

Homogenous preparation of tripolyphosphatase from Neurospora crassa is obtained. The enzyme is found to consist of two equal subunits with molecular weight of 40 000 and to have pH optimum 7.0 and temperature optimum 50 degrees C. Bivalent metal ions are required for its catalytical activity, the hest activators being Co2+, Mg2+ and Mn2+. Strict specificity of the enzyme to tripolyphosphate is demonstrated, Km being 5.9-10(-4) M. The enzyme hydrolyses tripolyphosphate to equimolar mixture of ortho- and pyrophosphate. The enzyme activity depends on orthophosphate and pyrophosphate concentrations in the incubation medium.

[The possible role of high molecular weight polyphosphates in chlortetracycline biosynthesis by Streptomyces aureofaciens].

The content of condensed inorganic polyphosphates in high productive and low productive Streptomyces aureofaciens strains has been determined. At all the stages of growing the quantity of these compounds in low productive strain is 8-10-fold higher than in high productive strains. Maximum accumulation of condensed inorganic polyphosphates in both the strains Str. aureofaciens corresponds to the end of logarithmic phase of growth. In both strains the presence of two enzymes of polyphosphate biosynthesis -- ATP:polyphosphate-phosphotransferase and 1.3-diphosphoglycerate:polyphosphate-phosphotransferase has been revealed as well as the presence of the enzymes of their utilisation -- polyphosphate:D-glucose-6-phosphotransferase, polyphosphate-phosphohydrolase, tripolyphosphosphate-phosphohydrolase and pyrophosphate-phosphohydrolase. The difference in the activity of 1.3 diphosphoglycerate: polyphosphate-phosphotransferase and polyphosphate-phosphohydrolase has been revealed in both strains studied. On the basis of the data obtained it is supposed that there is a possibility of using phosphorus and energy of high molecular inorganic polyphosphate in the biosynthesis of so called products of "secondary metabolism".

[Escherichia coli membrane-bound polyphosphatase].

A complex of polyphosphatase with E. coli membranes has been isolated and studied. It is shown by gel-filtration through G-200 Sephadex and centrifugation in sucrose concentration gradient that about 5% of polyphosphatase total content in cells is bound with the heterogenous fraction containing smooth membranes and the ribosome-membrane complex. On the basis of the data obtained it is suggested that the formation of a complex of polyphosphatase with membranes is a stage of synthesis and secretion of this enzyme to protoplasm.

[Extramitochondrial energy dependent synthesis of inorganic pyrophosphate in yeasts].

In yeast Saccharomyces N.C.Y.C. 644SU3 the simplest energy donor, inorganic pyrophosphate, can be formed not only in the processes coupled with the respiratory chain, but also under conditions when mitochondrial synthesis of the compound is inhibited (glucose repression, anaerobiosis). Stimulation of inorganic pyrophosphate formed after exogeneous addition of glycolytic system components and inhibition studies suggest that under those conditions the non-mitochondrial energy-dependent formation of inorganic pyrophosphate is due to glycolytic phosphorilation.

[Detection of multiple forms of polyphosphate phosphohydrolase from Endomyces magnusii].

Labile polyphosphate phosphohydrolase from Endomyces magnusii is 27-fold purified by means of fractionation with ammonium sulphate, gel filtration on Sephadex G-75 and Biogel P-60 and chromatography on DEAE cellulose. Chromatography on DEAE Sephadex A-50, isoelelctric focusing and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the enzyme preparation revealed 3 different fractions with polyphosphate phosphohydrolase activity (PPPH1, PPPH2 and PPPH3). Relative content of these fractions in E. magnusii cells is 30%, 55% and 15% respectively. Isoelectric points are: PPPH1--pH 5.1--5.2; PPPH2--pH 6.0--6.1; PPPH3--pH 6.3--6.4. PPPH1 and PPPH2 are found to be the most labile. PPPH3 is more stable under isolation procedure and storage. The fractions have similar molecular weight (48 000 +/- 3000).
