Intracellular Distribution of 5' Nucleotidase in Rat Liver
نویسندگان
چکیده
The intracellular distribution of 5' nucleotidase was investigated in rat liver by biochemical analysis of cell fractions obtained by differential centrifugation. The enzymatic activity was measured by determination of the inorganic phosphorus liberated from 5' nucleotides. The 5' nucleotidase activity was mainly found in the nuclear and microsomal fractions. An attempt to extract the enzyme from these fractions with Mg(++) ion solutions was unsuccessful. It is concluded that 5' nucleotidase is actually present in the nuclear and microsomal fractions of rat liver cells.

Biosynthesis and intracellular transport of rat liver 5'-nucleotidase.
To investigate biosynthesis and intracellular transport of 5'-nucleotidase, we purified this enzyme from rat liver and prepared antibodies. In immunoblot analysis, 5'-nucleotidase from the plasmalemmal, Golgi, and tritosomal fractions migrated as a single band of 72 kDa. The immunoreactive 68-kDa band was detected in the rough microsomal fraction and only the 72-kDa polypeptide contained sialic...
متن کاملFerritin immunoelectron microscopic localization of 5'-nucleotidase on rat liver cell surface
Rat livers were prefixed by perfusion with 0.6% glutaraldehyde and briefly homogenized with a Teflon-glass homogenizer. The prefixed cells isolated by low-speed centrifugation in high yield effectively preserved the original polygonal shape and polarity. These cells were incubated with ferritin-antibody conjugates monospecific for rat liver 5'-nucleotidase, and the localization of the enzymes o...
متن کاملThe soluble 'low-Km' 5'-nucleotidase of rat kidney represents solubilized ecto-5'-nucleotidase.
A soluble 'low-Km' 5'-nucleotidase has been described previously in several organs. It has been presumed to be of cytosolic origin and thus to play a role in the intracellular production of adenosine. Its catalytic properties are similar to those of the ecto-5'-nucleotidase of cell membranes. In the present study we compared molecular properties of the two enzymes in the kidney of the rat. The ...
متن کاملInositol is a constituent of detergent-solubilized immunoaffinity-purified rat liver 5'-nucleotidase.
myo-Inositol analysis of detergent-solubilized immunoaffinity-purified rat liver 5'-nucleotidase showed the presence of 1 mol of myo-inositol/mol of enzyme monomer. This provides unequivocal evidence that the ectoenzyme 5'-nucleotidase is attached to liver membranes by a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol lipid anchor.
