  • Thermus caldophilus GK24 was selected as sources of thermostable alkaline phosphatase from a survey of extreme thermophile. T. caldophilus GK24 was tested for production of alkaline phosphatase by addition of various concentration of sodium glutamate, bactotryptone, glucose and yeast extract to basal salts. Sodium glutamate was found to be effective for the alkaline phosphatase induction. The optimal induction medium for production of alkaline phosphatase involves the addition of 0.3% sodium glutamate, 0.2% bactotryptone and 0.5% glucose to basal salts. The activity of the enzyme in optimal induction medium increased nearly 6-fold/ml than basal medium and 27.5-fold/ml than standard medium. T. caldophilus GK24 alkaline phosphatase was found to be inducible. When starved of inorganic phosphate, T. caldophilus GK24 produces the enzyme alkaline phosphatase. The addition of inorganic phosphate to growth medium had a repressive effect on enzyme synthesis.

  • The authors have studied the distribution of alkaline phosphatase in the pharynx, esophagus, stomach (or intestinal bulb), anterior and posterior portions of intestine of three kinds of fishes. The results obtained are as follows: 1. Alkaline phosphatase activity of basal cells in the pharyngeal epithelium of loach and snakehead fish showed moderately positive reaction, and basal cells in the esophagel epithelium of loach and eel showed also moderately positive reaction. 2. Goblet cells of pharynx, esophagus, intestinal bulb and intestinal mucosa, and gastric glandular cells of the above fishes showed negative reaction for alkaline phosphatase. 3. Strongly positive reaction for alkaline phosphatase was observed at both intestinal bulb and the free border of intestinal epithelium, but weak positive reaction at the free border of posterior portion of loach intestine.

  • The cobalt capture method of Gomori's modified technique(Gomori, 1952) was employed to study the histochemistry of the developing frog kidney. Alkaline phosphatase activity was observed in association with the brush borders of pronephros and mesonephros. By the stage of transition from larva to tadpole alkaline phosphatase activity was gradually increased in the brush border of pronephros, and as the pronephros begun to degenerate the enzyme activity was decreased and disappeared. By the time of maximum development of the pronephros the mesonephros began to develop and alkaline phosphatase activity of the mesonephric tubules showed highly positive throughout the stage of metamorphosis. No activity was observed in association with the collecting tubules and ductal elements.

  • This study was aimed to investigate the enzyme-histochemical localization and characteristics of alkaline and acid phosphatase extracted from adult of Echinostoma hortense. Using the Gomori calcium stain and the Gomori lead nitrate satin method, we found that the alkaline and acid phosphatases were localized mostly in the intestine, vitellaria and pharynx of Echinostoma hortense. The three isozymes of alkaline phosphatase and two isozymes of acid phosphatase were separated from Echinostoma hortense by electrophoresis. The isozymes of alkaline phosphatase were 145.9, 207.5, 220.8 kDa and the isozymes of acid phosphatase were 179.5 and 209.4 kDa. The activity of alkaline phosphatase was denatured completely after heating at 9$0^{\circ}C$ for 12 seconds. The optimum pH and temperature for activity of alkaline phosphatase were about pH 9 and 4$0^{\circ}C$, while the optimum pH for activity of acid phosphatase was about pH 5. The maximum activity of alkaline phosphatase was at 189 unit, but maximum activity of acid phosphatase was at 71 unit As the result from above, we observed that alkaline and acid phosphatases funtion mainly in the alimentary tract and vitellaria. Echinostoma hortense performs the parasitism in the intestine of host by using proper isozyme of phosphatase.

  • The propose of this study was to evaluate the difference of cellular activity dependent on intermittent compressive force by determining the alkaline phosphatase activity. Alkaline phosphatase activity was measured on control and experimental groups every 24, 48, 72hours. Experimental groups consisted of continous and intermittent compressive group which were compressed by $300gm/cm^2$ of diaphram pump. The intermittent compressive group was connected by timer which was worked on 10 minutes an off 10 minutes. The results were as follows; 1. The alkaline phosphatase activity between control and experimental groups showed not significant difference at compressed 24 hours. 2. The alkaline phosphatase activity of experimental groups were more increased than control group at compressed 48 hours. 3. The alkaline phosphatase activity of intermittent compressive group showed significant increased to control group. Whereby continuous compressive group showed not significant difference to control at 72 hours. 4. The alkaline phosphatase activity of intermittent compressive group were stringly increased than continuous compressive groups. 5. Between experimental groups and control group no other morphologic changes were detected by microscopic findings.

  • Some properties of alkaline phosphatase, partially purified from the liver of the local Pekin duck, Anas platyrhynchos, were investigated with the following results. 1. Gel-filtration of the duck liver extract indicated the presence of two molecular-weight species of alkaline phosphatase. 2. Electrophoresis of both enzyme preparations suggests the presence of two molecular forms of alkaline phosphatase with different physicochemical characteristics. 3. The liver alkaline phosphatase has an optimum pH of 9.0, and is further activated by $Mg^2+$ but not by $Ca^2+$. 4. The enzyme was relatively heat-labile, and was competitively inhibited by phosphate ions, but uncompetitively inhibited by L-phenylalanine. 5. These results are discussed in comparison with the properties of human and other animal alkaline phosphatases.

  • Quantitative analysis of the activities of transport ATPases as well as alkaline phosphatase of the mouse uterus was carried out during the estrous cycle. Even though the proportional patterns of the enzyme activities were similar each another between the stages of estrous cycle, the absolute activities of the enzymes except $K^+$-dependent and $Na^+$, $K^+$-activated ATPases at the time of estrus were significantly (p<0.025) higher than that at any other time of the estrous cycle. That is, the activities of $K^+$-dependent and $Na^+$, $K^+$-activated ATPases were negligible during the period of time from diestrus to estrus while the little activities (0.04 $\\sim$ 0.05$\\mu$M/mg protein/hr in average, $6\\sim7$% of the total enzyme activity) of these enzymes appeared at the time of metaestrus. On the other hand, at the time of estrus, the activities of $Mg^++$-dependent phosphatase, transport ATPase and alkaline phosphatase were rapidly and tremendously increased to be 0.69 (35%), 0.42 (21%) and 1.58 (79%), respectively. The activity of alkaline phosphatase was in the range of 0.60 $\\sim$ 1.58 (79 $\\sim$ 90%) and predominant throughout the estrous cycle. The activity of $Mg^++$-dependent alkaline phosphatase was estimated as 12 $\\sim$ 16% of the total enzyme activity. Therefore, it is assumed likely that $K^+$-dependent and $Na^+$, $K^+$-activated ATPases are not the main factors to control the fluid accumulation at the time of estrus, but may be the factors to reabsorb the luminal fluid into the uterine epithelium at the time of metaestrus, and that $Mg^++$-dependent phosphatase, transport ATPase and alkaline phosphatase must be closely involved in the secretion of luminal fluid from the epithelial cells of the mouse uterus.

  • For the purpose of making clear the activity of the alkaline phosphatase to the morphogenesis and function of the various structures of the developing chick kidney in relation to PAS-positive materials and phospholipid, the author observed histochemically the aforementioned enzyme and other substances. The mesonephros and metanephros of 4-20 day white leghorn embryos were used, obtaining the following results. 1. Before definite appearance of the secretory tubules the alkaline phosphatase activity showed strongly in the undifferentiated mesenchymal tissue. As the tubules grew differentiated, the alkaline phosphatase activity was found to have disappeared in the mesenchymal tissue surrounding the tubules. The above mentioned fact indicates that the alkaline phosphatase may be concerned with morphogenesis of the developing chick kindney. 2. The fact that the strong alkaline phosphatase activity and the occurrence of the PAS-positive materials were observed at the luminal borders of differentiated secretory tubules of mesonephros and metanephros, indicates that alkaline phosphatase may be concerned with reabsorption of carbohydrate at the borders. 3. A strong positive reaction of phospholipid was found in the cytoplasm and brush borders of the mesonephric and metanephric tubules. The fact that vicissitude of alkaline phosphatase was found to coincide with that of phospholipid suggests that the enzyme may have influence on the metabolism of the phospholipid.

  • Inorganic phosphate (Pi) in rabbit plasma was found to block completely phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) activity without affecting the alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) activity. Our results provided that (1) PTPase activity and inhibitor are separated after G-25 gel-filtration. (2) This inhibitor is heat stable and trypsin-resistant and it can be removed by dialysis using 3 Kd cut-off tubing. (3) The elution pattern of the inhibitor is identical to that of Pi, and by performing a seperate run with inorganic phosphate. (4) The PTPase activity was recovered following an incubation with $CaCl_2$ (10 mM).
