Kidney Alkaline Phosphatase

The mechanisms by which phosphate regulates the activity of alkaline phosphatase (orthophosphoric monoester phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.1) in rat kidney were investigated. Measurements of incorporation of [14C]leucine into kidney alkaline phosphatase in rats fed on complete or phosphate-free diet provide evidence of a twofold increase in the rate of synthesis of the enzyme in diet-treated animals. Cycloheximide experiments indicated that control and diet-adapted enzyme decreases in activity according to first-order kinetics with a calculated half-life of 10.3 and 6.5h after complete and phosphate-free diet administration respectively. Basal and diet-adapted enzymes exhibit similar Km values for several phosphomonoesters and an identical degree of inhibition is produced by cysteine. In addition, the enzyme from both sources is the same with regard to heat inactivation at 45, 56 or 64°C, to the profile of elution from Sephadex and to electrophoretic properties on polyacrylamide gel. A failure of rat kidney alkaline phosphatase to respond to cortisol (hydrocortisone) was also observed.

Cross Links

The proposed primary mechanism of action of the anticancer drug cisplatin (Cis-DDP) is through its interaction with DNA, mostly through DNA intrastrand cross-links or DNA interstrand cross-links. DNA repair mechanisms can circumvent this arrest thus permitting replication and transcription to proceed. Various membrane transport enzymes have also been demonstrated to be effected by cisplatin. Glycoprotein alkaline phosphatase was looked at in the proximal tubule cells before and after cisplatin both in vivo and in vitro for its inactivation or its removal from the membrane using light and electron microscopy.Outbred male Swiss Webster (Crl: (WI) BR) rats weighing 150-250g were given ip injections of cisplatin (7mg/kg). Animals were killed on day 3 and day 5. Thick slices (20-50.um) of kidney tissue from treated and untreated animals were fixed in 1% buffered glutaraldehyde and 1% formaldehyde (0.05 M cacodylate buffer, pH 7.3) for 30 min at 4°C. Alkaline phosphatase activity and carbohydrates were demonstrated according to methods described earlier.

Kidney Alkaline Phosphatase

The arginine-specific reagents 2,3-butanedione and phenylglyoxal inactivate pig kidney alkaline phosphatase. As inactivation proceeds there is a progressive fall in Vmax. of the enzyme, but no demonstrable change in the Km value for substrate. Pi, a competitive inhibitor, and AMP, a substrate of the enzyme, protect alkaline phosphatase against the arginine-specific reagents. These effects are explicable by the assumption that the enzyme contains an essential arginine residue at the active site. Protection is also afforded by the uncompetitive inhibitor NADH through a partially competive action against the reagents. Enzyme that has been exposed to the reagents has a decreased sensitivity to NADH inhibition. It is suggested that an arginine residue is important for NADH binding also, although this residue is distinct from that at the catalytic site. The protection given by NADH against loss of activity is indicative of the close proximity of the active and NADH sites.

Abstract Inactivation studies with 17 group-specific inhibitors showed that amino, hystidyl and tyrosyl residues probably are components of the active and/or regulatory sites of pig kidney alkaline phosphatase.
