title: A specific, low Km ADP-ribose pyrophosphatase from rat liver.
abstract: Two rat liver ADP-ribose pyrophosphatases (ADPRibases) were partially purified. ADPRibase-I hydrolyzed ADP-ribose (Km = 0.5 microM) giving AMP as a product, required Mg2+ or, less efficiently, Mn2+ (Ca2+ was not active), its activity changed little between pH 7 and 9, and was specific for ADP-ribose as it did not hydrolyze ADP-glucose, NAD+, NADH or diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,Pn-n-phosphates (Ap2A, Ap3A). ADPRibase-II showed similar properties, except that the Km for ADP-ribose was 50 microM and may be non-specific, as the same preparation hydrolyzed ADP-glucose, NADH and Ap2A. ADPRibase-I fulfills the requirements of a specific turnover pathway consistent with a cellular role for free ADP-ribose.
