Polyphosphatase PPN1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Switching of Exopolyphosphatase and Endopolyphosphatase Activities
نویسندگان
چکیده
The polyphosphatase PPN1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae shows an exopolyphosphatase activity splitting phosphate from chain end and an endopolyphosphatase activity fragmenting high molecular inorganic polyphosphates into shorter polymers. We revealed the compounds switching these activities of PPN1. Phosphate release and fragmentation of high molecular polyphosphate prevailed in the presence of Co2+ and Mg2+, respectively. Phosphate release and polyphosphate chain shortening in the presence of Co2+ were inhibited by ADP but not affected by ATP and argininе. The polyphosphate chain shortening in the presence of Mg2+ was activated by ADP and arginine but inhibited by ATP.

Inorganic polyphosphates and exopolyphosphatases in cell compartments of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae under inactivation of PPX1 and PPN1 genes.
Purified fractions of cytosol, vacuoles, nuclei, and mitochondria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae possessed inorganic polyphosphates with chain lengths characteristic of each individual compartment. The most part (80-90%) of the total polyphosphate level was found in the cytosol fractions. Inactivation of a PPX1 gene encoding ~40-kDa exopolyphosphatase substantially decreased exopolyphosphatase act...
متن کاملPpn2, a novel Zn2+-dependent polyphosphatase in the acidocalcisome-like yeast vacuole.
Acidocalcisome-like organelles are found in all kingdoms of life. Many of their functions, such as the accumulation and storage of metal ions, nitrogen and phosphate, the activation of blood clotting and inflammation, depend on the controlled synthesis and turnover of polyphosphate (polyP), a polymer of inorganic phosphate linked by phosphoric anhydride bonds. The exploration of the role of aci...
متن کاملThe early stage of polyphosphate accumulation in saccharomyces cerevisiae: comparative study by extraction and DAPI staining
Inorganic polyphosphate (PolyP), a bioactive polymer with multiple functions, plays a key role in biomineralizaion and phosphorus homeostasis in yeasts. After phosphate starvation, the cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae restored their pool of PolyP during the first 30 min of incubation in the media containing phosphate and carbon sources. The cells of parent strain accumulated PolyP both in gluc...
متن کاملSynthesis and Evaluation of Chromogenic and Fluorogenic Substrates for High-Throughput Detection of Enzymes That Hydrolyze Inorganic Polyphosphate
Inorganic polyphosphates, linear polymers of orthophosphate, occur naturally throughout biology and have many industrial applications. Their biodegradable nature makes them attractive for a multitude of uses, and it would be important to understand how polyphosphates are turned over enzymatically. Studies of inorganic polyphosphatases are, however, hampered by the lack of high-throughput method...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of a soluble polyphosphatase from mitochondria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
A polyphosphatase with the specific activity 2.2 U/mg was purified to apparent homogeneity from a soluble preparation of mitochondria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The polyphosphatase is a monomeric protein of approximately 41 kD. The purified enzyme hydrolyzes polyphosphates with an average chain length of 9 to 208 phosphate residues to the same extent, but its activity is approximately 2-fold ...
