title: A family of phosphohydrolases from bovine intestinal mucosa: 5'-nucleotidase.
abstract: Bovine intestinal 5'-nucleotidase has been partially purified and characterized for comparison with two other phosphohydrolases from the same tissue, alkaline phosphatase and 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase, which are closely related structurally and mechanistically. Kinetic studies with a variety of nucleotides and phosphonate analogs show that, although 5'-nucleotidase is a monoesterase like alkaline phosphatase, it more closely resembles 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase in its high affinity and specificity for nucleotide binding. 5'-Nucleotidase is bound very strongly by an affinity column containing a bound phosphonate analog of ADP but is not bound by an affinity column containing a non nucleotide phosphonate which selectively binds alkaline phosphatase. 5'-Nucleotidase is strongly bound by immobilized antibodies prepared against 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase, and is less strongly bound by immobilized antibodies prepared against alkaline phosphatase. We conclude that 5'-nucleotidase is structurally more similar to 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase than to another monoesterase, alkaline phosphatase.
