Acid phosphatases are widely distributed in different tisssues of various plants. Studies on subcellular localization of acid phosphatases show they might be present in cell wall, plasma lemma, mitochondria, plastid, vacuole and nucleus. However, their localization in rice cell varies with developmental stages of cells and plant tissues. In present study, acid phosphatases occurring in root cap are examined.Sliced root tips of ten-day-old rice(Oryza sativa) seedlings were fixed in 0.1M cacodylate buffer containing 2.5% glutaraldehyde for 2h, washed overnight in same buffer solution, incubated in Gomori's solution at 37° C for 90min, post-fixed in OsO4, dehydrated in ethanol series and finally embeded in Spurr's resin. Sections were doubly stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate, and observed under Hitachi H-600 at 75 KV.

As previously reported (1, 2) phosphorylcholine (PC) is a specific substrate for prostatatic acid phosphatase (PAP) as opposed to other acid phosphatases, e.g., lysosomal acid phosphatase. The specificity of PC for PAP is due to the pentavalent nitrogen in PC, a feature that renders PC resistant to hydrolysis by all other acid phosphatases. Detailed comparative cytochemical results in rat tissues are in press. This report deals with ultracytochemical results applying the method to normal and pathological human prostate gland.Fresh human prostate was obtained from 7 patients having transurethral resections or radical prostatectomies. The tissue was fixed in 3% glutaraldehyde- 0.1 M cacodylate buffer (pH 7.4) for 15 min, sectioned at 50 μm on a Sorvall TC-2 tissue sectioner, refixed for a total of 2 hr, and rinsed overnight in 0.1 M cacodylate buffer (pH 7.4)-7.5% sucrose.

Poly(A)+ RNA was isolated from human prostatic tissue and translated in vitro in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate translation assay. Acid phosphatase labeled with [35S]methionine was immunoprecipitated with an antibody against seminal plasma acid phosphatase. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the immunoprecipitate, followed by fluorography, revealed the presence of two spots (one major and one minor), both having a molecular mass of 43 kilodaltons (kDa) and an isoelectric point higher than mature acid phosphatase. Addition of canine pancreatic membranes to the translation assay resulted in the formation of four immunoprecipitable spots with molecular masses ranging from 43 to 49 kDa on one-dimensional gels. These spots probably represent acid phosphatases containing one to four core sugar groups, since after the addition of endoglycosidase H the molecular mass heterogeneity was abolished and we observed only one major band with a molecular mass (41 kDa) slightly lower than the ones of the primary translation product. These results suggest that human prostatic acid phosphatases are synthesized as two 43-kDa preproteins, which are further processed to 41-kDa proteins by removal of their signal peptide. Heterogeneity of the native protein arises mostly from glycosylation at four sites and not from differences in the amino acid sequence of the various forms.
