title: Polyoxyethylene 9-lauryl ether-solubilized alkaline phosphatase: synergistic stimulation by zinc and magnesium ions.
abstract: 1. Polidocanol-solubilized apoalkaline phosphatase could be stimulated either by zinc ions (Kd = 8.5 nM) or by magnesium ions alone (Kd = 3.8 microM). 2. Zinc and magnesium ions had synergistic effects on Polidocanol-solubilized apoalkaline phosphatase, leading to a fully active enzyme (700-800 U/mg). 3. Zinc ions inhibited non-competitively the Polidocanol-solubilized apoenzyme (Ki = 7.1 microM) by displacing magnesium ions from their binding sites. 4. A model for the action of zinc and magnesium ions on the modulation of the enzyme activity is proposed.
