When screening an Escherichia coli gene library for myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) phosphatases (phytases), we discovered that the agp-encoded acid glucose-1-phosphatase also possesses this activity. Purified Agp hydrolyzes glucose-1-phosphate, p-nitrophenyl phosphate, and InsP6with pH optima, 6.5, 3.5, and 4.5, respectively, and was stable when incubated at pH values ranging from 3 to 10. Glucose-1-phosphate was hydrolyzed most efficiently at 55°C, while InsP6and p-nitrophenyl phosphate were hydrolyzed maximally at 60°C. The Agp exhibited Kmvalues of 0.39 mM, 13 mM, and 0.54 mM for the hydrolysis of glucose-1-phosphate, p-nitrophenyl phosphate, and InsP6, respectively. High-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of inositol phosphate hydrolysis products of Agp demonstrated that the enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphate from each of InsP6, D-Ins(1,2,3,4,5)P5, Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5, and Ins(1,2,3,4,6)P5, producing D/L-Ins(1,2,4,5,6)P5, D-Ins(1,2,4,5)P4, D/L-Ins(1,4,5,6)P4and D/L-Ins(1,2,4,6)P4, respectively. These data support the contention that Agp is a 3-phosphatase. Key words: phosphatase, phytate, bacteria, inositol phosphate, phytase.

1. Phosphatase synthesis was studied in Klebsiella aerogenes grown in a wide range of continuous-culture systems. 2. Maximum acid phosphatase synthesis was associated with nutrient-limited, particularly carbohydrate-limited, growth at a relatively low rate, glucose-limited cells exhibiting the highest activity. Compared with glucose as the carbon-limiting growth material, other sugars not only altered the activity but also changed the pH–activity profile of the enzyme(s). 3. The affinity of the acid phosphatase in glucose-limited cells towards p-nitrophenyl phosphate (Km 0.25–0.43mm) was similar to that of staphylococcal acid phosphatase but was ten times greater than that of the Escherichia coli enzyme. 4. PO43−-limitation derepressed alkaline phosphatase synthesis but the amounts of activity were largely independent of the carbon source used for growth. 5. The enzymes were further differentiated by the effect of adding inhibitors (F−, PO43−) and sugars to the reaction mixture during the assays. In particular, it was shown that adding glucose, but not other sugars, stimulated the rate of hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate by the acid phosphatase in carbohydrate-limited cells at low pH values (<4.6) but inhibited it at high pH values (>4.6). Alkaline phosphatase activity was unaffected. 6. The function of phosphatases in general is discussed and possible mechanisms for the glucose effect are outlined.

A partially purified preparation of the constitutive alkaline phosphatase from Neurospora crassa, containing two electrophoretically distinct activities was used in initial studies of product inhibition patterns. Inorganic phosphate was shown to be a linear competitive inhibitor, and p-nitrophenol to be a non-linear, non-competitive inhibitor of p-nitrophenyl phosphate hydrolysis. Glycerol was shown to be a linear non-competitive inhibitor of β-glycerophosphate hydrolysis.A purification procedure whereby one enzyme activity could be obtained free of the second was devised. The purified enzyme catalyzed the hydrolysis of a wide range of substrates and had a molecular weight of 111 000. Its hydrolysis of glucose 6-phosphate was competitively inhibited by phosphate and non-competitively inhibited by glucose. Both inhibitions were linear. Hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate was competitively inhibited by phosphate in a linear manner, but p-nitrophenol was a non-linear, non-competitive inhibitor. Alternate product inhibition by glucose was linear competitive. No inhibition by p-nitrophenol of glucose 6-phosphate hydrolysis could be detected.The inhibition data for glucose 6-phosphate and β-glycerophosphate may be consistent with an ordered Uni-Bi mechanism expanded to include one or more isomerizations of enzyme complexes. The postulation of a different mechanism involving alternate pathways is probably required to explain the data obtained when p-nitrophenyl phosphate was the substrate.

The C-glycoside embinin and its mono- and diacetate derivatives have immunotropic and cardiotonic activity, which makes the search for plants that contain them interesting. Embinin and its acetate derivatives were previously isolated only from some plants of the genus Iris, the habitat and growing conditions of which are very different from those of the genus Rubus. As a result of the study, the structure of seven C-glycosides, embinin derivatives, isolated from the leaves of Rubus chamaemorus L. (Rosaceae) was established. Using HR-ESI-MS, HPLC-MS, as well as one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy, the structure of three substances isolated in individual form was established: embinin (1) and its diacetyl derivatives – 2''',3'''-diacetylembinin (5) and 3''',4'''-diacetylembinin (7). The method of stepwise hydrolysis of C-glycoside acetate residues proposed in this study, followed by HPLC analysis of the resulting hydrolysis products, made it possible to establish the structure of minor flavone C-glycosides contained in the leaves of Rubus chamaemorus L.: 2'''-acetylembinin (2), 3'''-acetylembinin (3), 4'''-acetylembinin (4) and 2''',4'''-diacetylembinin (6). All these compounds were found in the leaves of Rubus chamaemorus L. for the first time. The C-glycosides - embinin and its acetate derivatives are rare metabolites of higher plants, the presence of which is determined by the peculiarity of their physiology, and the biological activity determines the prospects for medical use.

The hydrolysis of diphenyl (4-nitrophenyl) phosphate catalyzed by 2-iodosobenzoic and 3-iodoso-2-naphthoic acids has been studied at different pH values in the presence of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide as a micellar agent. It was found that 3-iodoso-2-naphthoic acid is better catalyst than 2-iodosobenzoic acid. At amounts of the acids higher than stoichiometric, the reaction is independent of pH in the 8.00 to 10.00 region while on using substoichiometric amounts, the reaction rate depends on OH- ion concentration only when the acid to diphenyl (4-nitrophenyl) phosphate molar ratio amounts to 12.5 : 1 for 2-iodosobenzoic acid and 6.25 : 1 for 3-iodoso-2-naphthoic acid.

The hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyldiphenyl phosphate (PNPDPP, 7) catalyzed by N-dodecylaminoethanol (6a), N-tetradecylaminoethanol (6b), N-methyl-N-tetradecylaminoethanol (6c), and N-hexadecylaminoethanol (6d) was investigated at 25°C at various pH values in aqueous media containing additives. Added ethanol or dimethoxyethane produces very little activity of 6a, b, c toward 7. The highest activities of 6a, b were found at pH 8.0 and 8.5 in solvents containing 20% glycerol or ethylene glycol. Under no conditions was N-hexadecylaminoethanol (6d) found to be active. The kinetics of the reaction of 6b with 7 were also investigated in a medium containing various amounts of glycerol, polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400), and water at pH 7.6-8.5. The best catalytic system comprised 3 mM 6b in 20% aqueous ethylene glycol, pH 8.5, which accelerated the hydrolysis of 7 by 1700-fold over the blank rate. Kinetic experiments conducted using [7]/[6b] = 1 and 2 demonstrate that 6b exhibits true turnover catalysis. A mechanism for the catalyzed reaction is proposed.Key words: ß-aminoethanols, hydrolysis, p-nitrophenyldiphenyl phosphate, micelles, polyhydroxy alcohols.

The distribution of sodium-potassium adenosine triposphatase (Na-K-ATPase) activity in kidney sections has been studied by a method based on the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate in alkaline medium containing dimethyl sulfoxide. The products at each stage in the reaction sequence have been subjected to electron probe microanalysis. The initial product was identified as a mixture of KMgPO4 and Mg(PO4)2, and sequential analysis demonstrated the linearity of conversion of this product to a visible form. In human, rabbit and rat kidneys the distribution of activity was found to be essentially identical, with highest levels located in thick ascending limbs and distal convoluted tubules. The initial reaction was completely potassium dependent and was inhibited by ouabain in concentrations reflecting the relative sensitivity of microsomal Na-K-ATPase in each species. Measurement of initial product phosphorus by means of the electron probe is presented as a practical technique for direct quantitation of Na-K-ATPase activity in identified tubule segments.

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strain UNQLp 11 is a lactic acid bacterium with the potential to carry out malolactic fermentation (MLF) in red wines. Recently, the complete genome of UNQLp 11 was sequenced and this strain possesses four loci of the enzyme β-glucosidase. In order to demonstrate that these glucosidase enzymes could be functional under harsh wine conditions, we evaluated the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (p-NPG) in synthetic wine with different ethanol contents (0%, 12%, and 14% v/v) and at different pH values (3.2, 3.5, and 3.8). Then, the hydrolysis of precursor n-octyl β-D-glucopyranoside was analyzed in sterile Pinot Noir wine (containing 14.5% v/v of ethanol, at different pH values) by headspace sorptive extraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HSSE-GC/MS). The hydrolysis of p-NPG showed that β-glucosidase activity is very susceptible to low pH but induced in the presence of high ethanol content. Furthermore, UNQLp 11 was able to release the glycosilated precursor n-octyl, during MLF to a greater extent than a commercial enzyme. In conclusion, UNQLp 11 could improve the aromatic profile of the wine by the release of volatile precursors during MLF.

Oxytetracycline (OTC), also known commercially as Terramycin, was determined to be more stable in honey than in buffered aqueous solutions at similar pH values and temperatures. A rapid high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed to detect and quantitate OTC using a 1:1 dilution (wt/wt) of honey samples in water. Using 355 nm as the wavelength of detection, amounts as low as 0.5 μg/ml could be detected in the above solution. The limits of detection were lowered considerably by a double extraction procedure.
