Intracellular Distribution of p-Nitrophenyl-Phosphatase in Plants.

چکیده
Less than 10% of the acid p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity of plant extracts was sedimentable under a variety of conditions including zonal centrifugation. The sedimentable fraction did not show the latency properties characteristic of animal lysosomes. We conclude that, at least operationally, plant acid phosphatase is a soluble enzyme and that it is not suitable as a lysosomal marker. The plant tissues employed were pea cotyledons, cauliflower florets, turnip storage organs, onion embryos, and leaves of red oak and soybean.

Fungal Infection Alters Phosphate Level and Phosphatase Profiles in Arabidopsis
Phosphorus (P), in the form of phosphate ion (Pi), is a vital element contributing in biomolecule structures, metabolic reactions, signaling pathways and energy transfer within the living cells. The objective of the present study was to assess the influence of fungal infection on Pi metabolism in compare to the effects of phosphate stress in Arabidopsis. Quantification of total P contents showe...
متن کاملFunctional Assessment of an Overexpressed Arabidopsis Purple Acid Phosphatase Gene (Atpap26) in Tobacco Plants
Background: Overexpression of known genes encoding key phosphate (Pi)-metabolizing enzymes, such as acid phosphatases (APases), is presumed to help plants with Pi availability and absorption as they are mostly exposed to suboptimal environmental conditions for this vital element.Objectives: In this study, the overexpression effect of AtPAP26, one of the m...
متن کاملLegionella pneumophila major acid phosphatase and its role in intracellular infection.
Legionella pneumophila is an intracellular pathogen of protozoa and alveolar macrophages. This bacterium contains a gene (pilD) that is involved in both type IV pilus biogenesis and type II protein secretion. We previously demonstrated that the PilD prepilin peptidase is crucial for intracellular infection by L. pneumophila and that the secreted pilD-dependent proteins include a metalloprotease...
متن کاملHydrolysis of S-substituted monoesters of phosphorothioic acid by alkaline phosphatase from Escherichia coli.
Alkaline phosphatase from Escherichia coli catalyzes the hydrolysis of S-substituted monoesters of phosphorothioic acid of the type RSP03Naz (R = -CH2CH2NH2,-CH2CHzNHCOCH3,-CH,COOH, or -CH2CHzCOOCzH~), at the S-P bond, to yield orthophosphate and the corresponding thioalcohols. The rate of enzymic hydrolysis of cysteamine S-phosphate was measured at different pH values and substrate concentrati...
متن کاملCharacterization of a Phosphotyrosyl Protein Phosphatase Activity Associated with a Phosphoseryl
A cytosolic phosphoprotein phosphatase of M, = 95,000 purified from bovine cardiac muscle, which contains a catalytic subunit of M, = 35,000, is known to be associated with a Mg2+-activated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity. We have found that the enzyme preparation is also active toward phosphotyrosyl-IgG and -casein phosphorylated by pp60"", the transforming gene product of Rous sarcoma viru...
