RESUMO
Alkaline phosphomonoesterase (EC 3.1.3.1) activity from Blastocladiella emersonii, while displaying typically broad substrate specificity for phosphorylated organic compounds, exhibited nearly complete substrate preference for N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate over N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate. Enzyme in zoospore extracts was purified 43-fold by differential centrifugation followed by gel filtration (Sephadex G-200) and then by ion-exchange chromatography (diethylaminoethyl-cellulose). The partially purified enzyme displayed an apparent molecular weight (Sephadex G-200) of approximately 170,000. The activity of partially purified enzyme exhibited a pH optimum of pH 8.5, did not require a metal divalent cation, but was inhibitable by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. During the life cycle of the organism, the specific activity of the phosphatase decreased slightly during germination and early exponential growth but then increased about 4.5-fold during sporulation. B. emersonii alkaline phosphatase does not appear to be a repressible enzyme.
