RESUMO

Four fractions of acid phosphatase (API, AP2, AP3A,and AP3B) have been detected and purified from soybean seeds soluble extract through ammonium sulfate and acetone precipitations, and ion exchange, gel filtration and concanavalin Asepharose chromatographies. API was eluted with equilibrium buffer, while AP2 and AP3 were eluted with 0.05 and 0.3 M inorganic phosphate, respectively, from SP-Sephadex column, AP3A and AP3B were the enzymatic fractions originated from AP3 applied on the DEAE-Sephadex column. The enzyme activity was determined using p-nitrophenylphosphate as substrate in 100mM acetate buffer, pH 5, at 37°C. Specific activity values of 50, 10, 0.84 and 2 Umol.min-1.mg-w1 ere obtained for API (910-fold purification), AP2 (180-fold), AP3A (16-fold), and AP3B (36-fold), respectively.The relative molecular mass of API, AP2, AP3A and AP3B were determined by 300 SW Waters Protein Glass column, were found to be 51,000, 58,000, 52,000 and 30,000, respectively. The four acid phosphatase forms purified seemed to be glycoproteins, however, only AP1 could bind to concanavalina A Sepharose. Ion exchange chromatography elution pattems showed that soybean seed acid phosphatases essentially differed in relation to their isoelectric point. The kinetic properties of the four fractions of soybean seeds acid phosphatases were studied. API presented a high activity at pH 4.5-6.0, while for the other fractions the optimum pH range was 5.0-6.5. API and AP2 exhibited higher substrate specificity than AP3A and AP3B. The Km values were determined for p-nitrophenylphosphate, tyrosinephosphate and inorganic pyrophosphate, at pH 5.0 and 37°C. The acid phosphatases presented the following apparent Km values: API (pNPP -0.49, PPi -0.51 and TyrP - 1.14mM);AP2 (pNPP- 0.38, PPi - 1.33 and TyrP - 1.14 mM); AP3A (pNPP - 0.20, PPi - 0.16 and TyrP - 0.19 mM) and AP3B (pNPP - 0.086, PPi - 0.17 and TyrP - 0.17 mM). Using pNPP as substrate, no effect was observed in the acid phosphatases activity in the presence of EDTA, dithiothreitol, glutathione and 2-mercaptoethanol. The four fractions were inhibited by inorganic phosphate, fluoride, vanadate, molybdate, CU2+and Zn2+.In contrast to other plant acid phosphatases alI the soybean seeds enzymatic forms presented high activities above 80°C, during 10 min incubation. However the enzymes were inactivated after 5 min when pre-incubated at 80°C in the absence of substrate. The soybean seeds acid phosphatases did not catalyze the transphosphorylation reaction since no stimulation was observed with inorganic phosphate acceptors (glycerol, methanol and ethanol). Our results showed that no significative differences could be observed on the kinetic properties for the four soybean seed acid phosphatase fractions.
