چکیده
1. The kinetics of inhibition of calf-intestinal alkaline phosphatase by inorganic phosphate, fluorophosphate, inorganic pyrophosphate, beta-glycerophosphate and adenosine 5'-triphosphate in the range pH8-10 were investigated. The reference substrate was 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate. 2. The inhibitions were ;mixed' in that both K(m) and V were affected, but the competitive element was by far the stronger. 3. In each case the pH profile for the competitive K(i) was similar to the pH profile for K(m). Since the K(m) and K(i) values both change 100-fold over the pH range 8-10, it is concluded that the inhibitors compete with the substrate for the same active site. 4. It was also found that the enzyme preparation hydrolysed fluorophosphate, pyrophosphate and adenosine 5'-triphosphate as readily as it hydrolysed 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate and beta-glycerophosphate. Each pH-activity curve, however, had a different shape, but with the exception of pyrophosphate the activity approached the same maximum value at high pH. 5. Attempts to separate the phosphomonoesterase and pyrophosphatase activities by column chromatography were not successful, and the results of other experiments listed suggest that the two activities are a property of the same enzyme. 6. The effect of Mg(2+) ions is briefly mentioned: the phosphomonoesterase activity is enhanced whereas the pyrophosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase activities are strongly inhibited in the presence of excess of Mg(2+) ions.

Use of fluorinated tyrosine phosphates to probe the substrate specificity of the low molecular weight phosphatase activity of calcineurin.
Calcineurin, a calmodulin-activated protein phosphatase, is known to dephosphorylate certain low molecular weight phosphate esters. The low molecular weight phosphatase activity of calcineurin has been studied by utilizing tyrosine phosphate derivatives. Kinetic studies suggest that the substrate specificity is dependent upon the electronic nature of the substrate in contrast to results obtaine...

With p-nitrophenyl phosphate as the substrate, there reportedly is no organ-specific inhibition of alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) activity by L-phenylalanine. However, we found that at pH 10.0, with p-nitrophenyl phosphate as the substrate, L-phenylalanine obviously inhibits the alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme from human placenta, whereas there is little if any inhibition of the isoenzyme fro...
