چکیده

The interactions of Mg 2+ and Zn 2+ ions in the activation of non-specific tissue alkaline phosphatase were investigated using crude extracts of rat kidney. Activation of alkaline phosphatase by the metal ions was accompanied by changes in the kinetic parameters of pnitrophenylphosphate hydrolysis. The results suggest some synergistic interactions between Mg 2+ and Zn 2+ ions in promoting the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylphosphate by alkaline phosphatase. The results show that assays of alkaline phosphatase activity in homogenised tissue samples will give better responses if both Mg 2+ and Zn 2+ ions are included in the reactions

Distinct Metal Ion Requirements for the Phosphomonoesterase and Phosphodiesterase Activities of Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase

The roles of Mg(2+) and Zn(2+) ions in promoting phosphoryl transfer catalysed by alkaline phosphatase are yet to be fully characterised. We investigated the divalent metal ion requirements for the monoesterase and diesterase activities of calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase. The synergistic effect of Mg(2+) and Zn(2+) in promoting the hydrolysis of para-nitrophenyl phosphate (monoesterase rea...

Isolation and molecular identification of bacteria producing alkaline phosphatase enzyme from environmental sources

Alkaline phosphatase (ortho phosphate, monoester hydrolase phosphoinositide E. C. 3.1.3.1) is a non-specific metalloproteinase enzyme that is located inside periplasmic space of bacteria. This enzyme is used to measure freshwater sediment in genetic engineering for cleaning water. Isolation and molecular identification of the bacteria producing alkaline phosphatase and comparison of its product...

Non-coordinate control of bone formation displayed by growth factor combinations with IGF-I.

Polypeptide growth factors (GFs) promote osteogenesis by enhancing the mitogenesis, migration, and matrix synthesis of osteoblasts. Most previous investigators have evaluated only the effects of single GFs on these parameters. Studies on single GFs might overlook large biological responses comparable with those documented in the cell cycle literature when GFs are used in combinations that inter...
