Critical Ph

Alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) from pig kidney brush-border membranes was solubilized from membrane precipitates by butan-1-ol at a critical pH of 7.0. The 12000-fold purification procedure included (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, DEAE-and TEAE-cellulose chromatography, Sephadex G-200 gel filtration and neuraminidase digestion followed by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The purified protein contained 20% (w/w) carbohydrate and had mol.wt. 150000–156000 as estimated by Sephadex filtration and ultracentrifuge analysis. It was a tetrameric glycoprotein consisting of identical subunits, and it had a molecular activity at 25°C of 2600s-1 per tetramer. Its concentration in kidney was estimated to be 8.5–8.8mg/kg.

Maltase activity (EC 3.2.1.20) was solubilized from rabbit kidney brush-border membrane by using 1.0% Triton X-100 and purified 230-fold with an overall recovery of 30%. The purification procedure makes use of heat precipitation, chromatography on DE-52 DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration on Sephacryl S-300. Rabbit kidney brush border exhibited glucoamylase activity with a maltase/glucoamylase ratio of 1.5:1 to 2.0:1. During purification the maltase and glucoamylase activities behaved identically. The Mr of the complex is 590,000, and it appears to be composed of eight identical subunits linked by disulphide bridges.

Additional Support

The physical state of membrane lipids and relationships with the activity of Na+-K+-ATPase and alkaline phosphatase were studied in basolateral and brush border membranes of the dog kidney. Fluorescence polarization and electron spin resonance experiments demonstrate that basolateral membranes are much more fluid than brush border membranes. This can be accounted for by a difference in fluidity of the lipid part of the membranes. Broad (43-17 degrees C) thermotropic transitions are observed in liposomes made from total lipid extracts of brush border and basolateral membranes. Fluorescence data strongly suggest that thermotropic transitions also occur in intact membranes and that a change in membrane physical state may take place around the physiological temperature. A nonlinear Arrhenius plot for the Na+-K+-ATPase activity in basolateral membranes (breakpoint 21 degrees C) provides additional support for the existence of a lipid liquid leads to gel transition in antiluminal plasma membranes. A break in the Arrhenius plot of alkaline phosphatase activity is also observed but at a temperature significantly higher (26 degrees C) than that of the end of the thermotropic transition. "Room temperature" appears as a critical zone for lipid physical state and activities of both enzymes.

Enzyme Preparations

An improved procedure for the purification of alkaline phosphatase from about 10 g of day 7 pregnant mouse uterine tissue is described. Following homogenization, the procedure involved solubilization and extraction with 0�8% (v/v) Triton X-lOO and 20% (v/v) n-butanol, ammonium sulfate precipitation, concanavalin A-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography, DEAE-cellulose anion-exchange chromatography and Sephacryl S200 gel filtration. On subjecting 2162-fold purified enzyme preparations to polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, a single band of protein coincident with the zone of enzyme activity and having an apparent molecular weight of 205 OOO� lOOOO was identified. Affinity chromatography yielded the largest increase in purity of any step in the procedure and established the glycoprotein nature of the uterine enzyme.

An Na+, Pi-binding protein has been extracted from kidney and intestinal brush-border membranes with an organic solvent and has been purified by Kieselghur and Sephadex LH-60 chromatography. The molecular mass of this protein has been estimated to be about 155 kDa as determined by gel-filtration chromatography on Sepharose 2B. Under denaturing conditions, polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis revealed a monomer of molecular mass about 70 kDa. The protein has high specificity and high affinity for Pi [K0.5 (concentration at which half-maximal binding is observed) near 10 microM]. Na2+ binding also exhibits saturation behaviour, with a K0.5 near 7.5 mM. Pi binding is inhibited by known inhibitors of Pi transport in brush-border membrane vesicles. It appears that this protein could be involved in Na+/Pi co-transport across the renal and intestinal brush-border membranes.

Kidney Alkaline Phosphatase

1. Pig kidney alkaline phosphatase is inactivated by treatment with acid at 0°. 2. Inactivated enzyme can be partially reactivated by incubation at 30° in neutral or alkaline buffer. The amount of reactivation that occurs depends on the degree of acid treatment; enzyme that has been inactivated below pH3·3 shows very little reactivation. 3. Studies of the kinetics of reactivation indicate that the process is greatly accelerated by increasing temperature and proceeds by a unimolecular mechanism. The reactivated enzyme has electrophoretic and gel-filtration properties identical with those of non-treated enzyme. 4. The results can be best explained by assuming that a lowering of the pH causes a reversible conformational change of the alkaline phosphatase molecule to a form that is no longer enzymically active but is very susceptible to permanent denaturation by prolonged acid treatment. A reactivation mechanism involving sub-unit recombination seems unlikely.
