Abstract

Histochemical observations were made of the activities of nucleosidephosphatases splitting ATP, ADP, IDP, and AMP and exopeptidases splitting l-alanine, l-leucine and l-glycyl-proline in the spleen sinuses of man, mouse, rat, hamster, and rabbit. Of the exopeptidases, only glycylprolyl-naphthylamidase could be proved histochemically, and that only in man and rat. Nucleosidephosphatases showed only traces of activity except in the rabbit where there was highly active AMP-ase, the others being moderately active.

Nucleotide metabolism by microsomal UDP-glucuronyltransferase and nucleoside diphosphatase as determine by 31P nuclear-magnetic-resonance spectroscopy.

31P n.m.r. spectroscopy was used to study the nucleotide kinetics of UDP-glucuronyltransferase and associated reactions in the liver microsomal fraction. The effects of Mg2+ and EDTA on these reactions were investigated qualitatively. It was found that the rabbit microsomal fraction has no nucleoside pyrophosphatase activity, that UDP was immediately hydrolysed and that it was released from the microsomal surface. Reverse glucuronyltransferase could be demonstrated. The results are discussed with reference to functional coupling of UDP-glucuronyltransferase to other enzymes and the effects of Mg2+ and EDTA on the system.

Histochemical characteristics of diphosphate nucleoside consumption in cat and rat nervous system.

Consumption of diphosphate nucleosides is investigated by histochemical methods in rat and cat nervous system. Results show NDP-ase is effectively in histological sections from animals previously perfused with glutaraldehyde or formaldehyde. Histochemical reaction is increased in presence of Ca++, Mg++, Mn++ or imidazole and inhibited by L-DOPA and Noradrenaline in incubation medium. A comparative study of TPP-ase and NDP-ase activities to dilucidate the identity of both enzymes is described.

Histochemical studies on Raillietina (Raillietina) johri (Cestoda: Davaineidae). II. Nucleoside diphosphatase and thiamine pyrophosphatase.

Thiamine pyrophosphatase and nucleoside diphosphatase have been studied histochemically in Raillietina (Raillietina) johri. Thiamine pyrophosphatase activity has been observed in the tegument, subtegumental muscle, subtegumental cells, medullary parenchyma, excretory canal and various reproductive structures like testes, ovary, vas deferens, spermatozoa and vitellaria. Eggs exhibit moderate enzyme activity. Various nucleoside diphosphates have been found to be hydrolyzed by thiamine pyrophosphatase. CaCl2, MgCl2 and MnCl2 each activated the enzyme at a final concentration of 6 mM whereas cysteine, reduced glutathione and PCMB inhibited the enzyme activity at a final concentration of 10 mM, 10 mM and 20 mM, respectively. KCN and NaF had no effect on the enzyme staining at concentration as high as 50 mM and 30 mM, respectively. Possible roles of the enzyme in the parasite have been discussed.
