Type B nucleoside-diphosphatase was purified from membranes of rat brain by solubilization with a non-ionic detergent and successive column chromatographies on DEAE-cellulose DE-52, concanavalin-A-Sepharose, Bio-Gel HT, blue-Sepharose CL-6B, chelating Sepharose 6B, Ultrogel AcA44 and TSK gel G3000 SW. The purified enzyme gave a single protein band on SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and its molecular mass was estimated to be 75 kDa. It hydrolyzed thiamin diphosphate as well as GDP, IDP and UDP. Thiamin diphosphate (TPP) was hydrolyzed twice as efficiently as nucleoside diphosphates in the presence of Mn2+ at pH 7.4. The Km values for TPP, GDP, IDP and UDP were 0.66, 0.40, 0.54 and 1.06 mM respectively. ATP, ADP and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate inhibited thiamin-pyrophosphatase activity competitively and their Ki values were 2.3 mM, 1.0 mM and 0.59 mM respectively. The optimum pH of thiamin-pyrophosphatase activity was 7.4 in the presence of Mn2+ and that of GDP-hydrolytic activity was 6.5 in the presence of Mg2+.
