چکیده

myo-Inositol-1-phosphatase has been partially purified from bovine brain. The enzyme has a molecular weight of about 58,000. Both L-myo-inositol 1-phosphate and D-myo-inositol 1-phosphate are hydrolyzed by the enzyme as well as (-)-chiro-inositol 3-phosphate and 2'-AMP. Triphosphoinositide is not a substrate. The phosphatase is completely dependent on Mg2+, which has a Km of 1 mM. Calcium and manganese ions are competitive inhibitors of Mg2+ binding with Ki values of 18 microM and 2 microM, respectively. Lithium chloride inhibits the hydrolysis of both L- and D-myo-inositol 1-phosphate to the extent of 50% at a concentration of 0.8 mM. The phosphatase from testis is similarly inhibited by lithium. Lithium ion is a noncompetitive inhibitor of Mg2+ binding and an uncompetitive inhibitor of myo-inositol 1-phosphate binding. Because lithium chloride administration elicits both an increase in the levels of myo-inositol 1-phosphate and a decrease in the levels of myo-inositol in rat brain (Allison, 1978), and because these actions are blocked by anticholinergic agents, we examined the effects of cholinergic agonists and antagonists on the enzyme and found none. The possibility that the inhibition of this enzyme by lithium ion is related to the pharmacological actions of lithium is discussed.

A review on the role of inositol in aquaculture

Inositol is usually classified as an essential vitamin for most animals, and is recognised as a part of the B-complex vitamins. Among all other inositol isomer forms, myo-inositol possesses biological activity. It is found in the brain, skeletal, heart, and main reproductive tissues and exists as a structural component of phosphatidylinositol in biological cell membranes. Myo-inositol, also act...

Myo-inositol at High Concentration Reduced Viability and Proliferation of Rat Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells via Electrolyte Imbalance and Elevation of Aerobic Metabolism

Myo-inositol (MI) which is produced at low concentration is an essential substance for animal’s natural growth. This study was performed to investigate the effects of MI on viability, proliferation and some biochemical factors of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). To investigate the cell viability using trypan blue assay, BMSCs after third passage were treated with different concen...

The purification and properties of myo-inositol monophosphatase from bovine brain.

1. An inositol monophosphatase was purified to homogeneity from bovine brain. 2. The enzyme is a dimer of subunit Mr 29,000. 3. The enzyme hydrolyses both enantiomers of myo-inositol 1-phosphate and both enantiomers of myo-inositol 4-phosphate, but has no activity towards inositol bisphosphates, inositol trisphosphates or inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate. 4. Several non-inositol-containing mo...

The effect of histidine modification on the activity of myo-inositol monophosphatase from bovine brain.

The pH dependence of myo-inositol monophosphatase may indicate a role for histidine residues in the catalytic mechanism (Ganzhorn, A. J., and Chanal, M.-C. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 6065-6071). This possibility was investigated by chemical modification. At pH 6.0 and 25 degrees C, the enzyme was inactivated by diethylpyrocarbonate in a pseudo-first order reaction with a bimolecular rate constant ...
