Characterization and purification of a calcium-sensitive ATP diphosphohydrolase from pig pancreas. 1980

D LeBel, and G G Poirier, and S Phaneuf, and P St-Jean, and J F Laliberté, and A R Beaudoin

An ATP diphosphohydrolase (EC 3.6.1.5) from the pancreas of the pig has been characterized and purified. The enzyme which has an optimum pH between 8 and 9 is specific for diphospho- and triphosphonucleosides. The Km values for ADP and ATP are 7.4 and 7.3 x 10(-4) M, respectively, and the purified enzyme has specific activities of 13 and 15.2 mumol of Pi/min/m of protein, respectively. It requires calcium or magnesium ions and it is insensitive to ATPase inhibitors, namely oligomycin, ouabain, and ruthenium red, and to levamisole, an inhibitor of alkaline phosphatase. Denaturation experiments, by heat and trypsin treatments, indicated that only one enzyme is involved. This is confirmed by the solubilization and purification process and by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A 270-fold purification was obtained by centrifugation and successive column chromatography on Sepharose 4B and Affi-Gel blue. It is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 65,000 as estimated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008274 Magnesium A metallic element that has the atomic symbol Mg, atomic number 12, and atomic weight 24.31. It is important for the activity of many enzymes, especially those involved in OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION.
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D010744 Phosphoric Monoester Hydrolases A group of hydrolases which catalyze the hydrolysis of monophosphoric esters with the production of one mole of orthophosphate.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
