Differential theophylline inhibition of alkaline phosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase of bovine milk fat globule membranes.
1. The effects of theophylline (1,3-dimethylxanthine) on alkaline phosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase activities of bovine milk fat globule membranes (MFGM) were examined. 2. Theophylline inhibited MFGM alkaline phosphatase in a concentration-dependent manner with 50% inhibition produced by 99 +/- 28 microM theophylline. 3. The 5'-nucleotidase activity was resistant to theophylline inhibition with 50% inhibition produced by 33.9 +/- 3.1 mM theophylline. 4. Theophylline was an uncompetitive inhibitor of MFGM alkaline phosphatase with a Ki of 126 +/- 15 microM. 5. The extent of theophylline inhibition of alkaline phosphatase activity was independent of the substrate utilized in the assay. 6. The effect of theophylline on bovine MFGM alkaline phosphatase was similar to theophylline effects on other mammalian alkaline phosphatases of liver/bone isoenzyme origin.
