Abstract

The effects of orthophosphate and mutations in the regulatory genes of alkaline phosphatase on the activities of pyrophosphatase and polyphosphatase of E. coli were studied. It was shown that orthophosphate represses the synthesis of alkaline phosphatase as well as that of polyphosphatase without having any effect on pyrophosphatase. The genes phoR and phoS are involved in the formation of a repressory complex both for alkaline phosphatase and polyphosphatase. The gene phoT is probably involved in a partial repression of pyrophosphatase synthesis.

Localization of methyltransferase activities throughout the endomembrane system of flax (Linum usitatissimum L) hypocotyls.

A microsomal fraction from flax hypocotyls (Linum usitatissimum L) showed a methylation ability from S-adenosyl-methionine on to the cell wall polysaccharides. Two kinds of methylation were found: (i) a methyl esterification of uronic acids in the oxalate extracts and (ii) an O-methylation of the hydroxyl groups in the NaOH extracts. The methyltransferase study showed a rapid decrease of the methyl esterification abilities, whereas the O-methylation on to the hydroxyl groups was maintained throughout the culture duration. The localization of such activities in the flax endomembrane system was performed using isopycnic centrifugation. Enzymic marker tests allowed us to identify the different membrane types. Methyltransferase activities in the different enriched fractions appeared to be associated with the Golgi apparatus for the O-methylation, and with the plasma membrane, Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum compartments for the carboxymethyl esterification.

Extracellular hydrolysis of diadenosine polyphosphates, ApnA, by bovine chromaffin cells in culture.

An ectoenzyme hydrolyzing diadenosine polyphosphates (ApnA) to AMP and Ap(n-1) has been studied in cultured chromaffin cells from bovine adrenal medulla. The KM value for extracellular Ap4A hydrolysis was 2.90 +/- 0.72 microM, the V(max) value obtained was 11.59 +/- 0.92 pmol/min x 10(6) cells (116 pmol/min.mg total protein). Ap3A, Ap5A, Ap6A, and Gp4G were competitive inhibitors of Ap4A hydrolysis with K(i) values of 3.65, 1.10, 1.20, and 2.65 microM, respectively. Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C removes the ApnA hydrolase activity from cultured chromaffin cells, suggesting an anchorage of this protein to the plasma membrane through the phosphatidylinositol. The turnover time for this enzyme calculated in the presence of cycloheximide was 38.94 +/- 1.53 hr for cultured chromaffin cells.

Three-dimensional structure of acylphosphatase. Refinement and structure analysis.

We report here the complete determination of the solution structure of acylphosphatase, a small enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of organic acylphosphates, as determined by distance geometry methods based on nuclear magnetic resonance information. A non-standard strategy for the distance geometry calculations was used and is described here some detail. The five best structures were then refined by restrained energy minimization and molecular dynamics in order to explore the conformational space consistent with the experimental data. We address the question of whether the solution structure of acylphosphatase follows the general principles of protein structure, i.e. those learned from analysing crystal structures. Static and dynamic features are discussed in detail. An uncommon beta-alpha-beta motif, so far found only in procarboxypeptidase B and in an RNA-binding protein, is present in acylphosphatase.
