Purification and comparative properties of the glycoprotein nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide glycohydrolase from rat liver microsomal and plasma membranes.
NAD glycohydrolase, or NADase (NAD+ glycohydrolase, EC 3.2.2.5) was solubilized with porcine pancreatic lipase from isolated fractions of microsomes and plasma membranes obtained from  rat livers. The enzyme from each organelle was further purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, gel filtration and isoelectric focusing. The solubilized, partially purified enzymes had similar molecular weights, pH-activity profiles and Km values. Marked charge heterogeneity was observed for the microsomal enzyme on isoelectric focusing between pH 6 and 8 with maximum activity focusing at pH 8.0. Plasma membrane NADase displayed a single peak at pH 6.7. Treatment of the partially purified microsomal or plasma membrane enzyme with neuraminidase resulted in a single peak of activity on isoelectric focusing (pH 3.5--10) with a pI of 9.2. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of either NADase revealed a periodate-Schiff positive band which was coincident with enzyme activity. Compositional analyses of the microsomal enzyme focusing at pH 8.0 confirmed the presence of hexoses, hexosamines and sialic acid. Differences in carbohydrate composition might be important in determining the subcellular distribution of this enzyme.
