RESUMO
Two different Mg2+-dependent adenosine 5'-triphosphate-hydrolyzing activities were detected in membranes of Vibrio costicola, a novel 5'-nucleotidase and an N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase. The former and the latter had different requirements for Mg2+ and were selectively assayed in the membranes by using, respectively, 20 and 2 mM Mg2+. The two enzymes were extracted with a combination of Triton X-100 and octylglucoside, separated on a diethylaminoethyl cellulose column, and purified on glycerol gradients. The purified 5'-nucleotidase consisted of one major polypeptide of 70,000 daltons when analyzed on polyacrylamide gels in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The purified 5'-nucleotidase was similar in substrate specificities, divalent cation specificities, and pH profiles to the membrane-bound N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-insensitive nucleotide-phosphohydrolyzing activity. The enzyme hydrolyzed nucleoside 5'-tri, 5'-di, and 5'-monophosphates at comparable rates. Inorganic pyrophosphate, p-nitrophenyl phosphate, glucose 6-phosphate, beta-glycerophosphate, adenosine 5'-diphosphate glucose, adenosine 3'-monophosphate, and cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate were not hydrolyzed, either im membranes or by the purified 5'-nucleotides. Actions of NaCl and KCl on the activity of the 5'-nucleotidase were studied. The enzyme was activated by both NaCl and KCl; the activation profiles however, were different for the membrane-bound and purified 5'-nucleotidase. The purified enzyme, unlike the membrane-bound enzyme, was markedly stimulated by high concentrations of NaCl (up to 3 M).
