Merr.) hypocotyls was studied. Results showed that lyso_PC stimulated the hydrolysis of ATP; ATP hydrolysis was enhanced dramatically when lyso_PC was within 0-0.03%, and increased slightly when lyso_PC was higher than 0.03%. At the concentration of 0.03%, lyso_PC stimulated ATP hydrolysis by 80.5%. Kinetics analysis showed that V max increased from 0.46 μmol P i·mg -1 protein·min -1 to 0.87 μmol P i·mg -1 protein·min -1 while K m increased from 0.88 mmol/L to 1.15 mmol/L under lyso_PC treatment. The optimum pH of ATP hydrolysis was shifted from 6.5 to 7.0 . Moreover, it was found lyso_PC enhanced the inhibition of ATP hydrolysis by hydroxylamine. In the presence of 200 mmol/L hydroxylamine, ATP hydrolysis was inhibited by 74.4%, while it was inhibited by 84.4% when treated with lyso_PC. However, PNPP hydrolysis and the inhibitory effect of vanadate were not affected by lyso_PC. The above results indicated that the kinase domain might be an action site or regulatory region of the C_terminal autoinhibitory domain in the plant plasma membrane H +_ATPase.展开更多

METHODS: We studied 34 chronic hepatitis patients and 32 control subjects, aged between 35 and 65 years, in the Department of Infection and Clinical Microbiology at the Firat University School of Medicine. Blood samples were collected from subjects between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. following a 12-h fast. Baseline and salt-stimulated PON1 activities were measured by the hydrolysis of paraoxon. Phenyl acetate was used as the substrate and formed phenol was measured spectrophotometrically at 270 nm after the addition of a 10-fold diluted serum sample in AE activity measurements. RESULTS: The results of this investigation revealed that the levels of AE activity decreased from 132±52 to 94± 36 (29%), baseline PON1 activity from 452±112 to 164 ±67 (64%), salt-stimulated PON1 activity from 746± 394 to 294±220 (61%), HDL from 58.4±5.1 to 47.2±5.6 (200), triglyceride from 133±51.2 to 86±34.0 (350), while a slight increase in the level of LDL (from 163± 54.1 to 177.3±56.0; 9%) and significant increases in the levels of AST (from 29±9.3 to 98±44), ALP (from 57.2±13.1 to 91±38.1), ALT (from 27.9±3.32 to 89± 19.1), GGT (from 24.3±2.10 to 94±48.2), total bilirubin (from 0.74±0.02 to 1.36±0.06; 84%) and direct bilirubin (from 0.18±0.01 to 0.42±0.04; 133%) were detected. However, the levels of albumin, total protein, cholesterol, and uric acid were almost the same in chronic hepatitis and the control subjects.CONCLUSION: Low PON1 and AE activity may contribute to the increased liver dysfunction in chronic hepatitis patients by reducing the ability of HDL to retard LDL oxidation and might be clinically useful for monitoring the disease of chronic hepatitis.展开更多
土壤磷酸酶对有机磷的矿化及植物的磷素营养有重要影响。目前测定土壤磷酸酶活性采用的基质主要有磷酸苯二钠(CAS编号:3279-54-7)和对硝基苯磷酸二钠(CAS编号:4264-83-9)两种。国际上对土壤磷酸酶活性的测定普遍采用对硝基苯磷酸二钠,...土壤磷酸酶对有机磷的矿化及植物的磷素营养有重要影响。目前测定土壤磷酸酶活性采用的基质主要有磷酸苯二钠(CAS编号:3279-54-7)和对硝基苯磷酸二钠(CAS编号:4264-83-9)两种。国际上对土壤磷酸酶活性的测定普遍采用对硝基苯磷酸二钠,而国内大部分学者主要采用磷酸苯二钠。由于不同类型的基质对磷酸酶活性的测定结果有很大影响,所以选择适宜的基质种类对磷酸酶活性进行测定有很大的不确定性。为探讨碱性磷酸酶活性的测定方法,以磷酸苯二钠和对硝基苯磷酸二钠为基质,选用酸性、中性和碱性土壤各10个土样,比较了依据《土壤酶及其研究法》(DPP1),《Method in Soil Biology》(DPP2)和《Methods of Soil Enzymology》(PNPP)书中所介绍的测定方法所获结果之间的差异。结果表明:三种方法所测的三种类型土壤磷酸酶活性的变化趋势基本一致,但不同土壤之间差异性的变化幅度有明显不同。在酸性土壤和碱性土壤中,DPP1和DPP2所测十个土样碱性磷酸酶活性之间的变异系数属于中度变异,而PNPP则属于高度变异;在中性土壤中,DPP1和DPP2属于低度变异,PNPP属于中度变异。总的来看,PNPP比DPP1和DPP2敏感。此外,由于PNPP具有高精确度、培养时间短和实验操作简便等优点,我们建议采用PNPP进行碱性磷酸酶活性的测定。展开更多
