Book excerpt: There can be no doubt that alkaline phosphatase is one of the most extensively in vestigated of all enzymes. This has resulted from the ubiquity of its distribution, and from the ease and sensitivity with which its activity can be measured. Unfortunately, these wide-ranging but often superficial experimental studies have been followed up by intensive and systematic investigations in only a few limited areas of the biochemistry and chemical pathology of alkaline phosphatase. The result has been the accumulation of a scientific literature of intimidating proportions, and the inevitable rediscovery of already known facts about the enzyme. Scientists are taught early in their careers that, in the words of Sir John Herschel, "Hasty generalization is the bane of science. " Nevertheless, moments arrive in all spheres of scientific activity when generalization becomes essential, to codify and to select from the mass of data already accumulated, and to provide starting points for new developments and new lines of investigation. This is especially true in a field such as alkaline phosphatase research, in which very real dangers exist that the seeds of fundamental understanding will be lost amidst an unexamined harvest of empirical observations. The history of the study of alkaline phosphatase provides several instances when valuable generalizations have emerged. Occasionally, the conclusions drawn on the basis of available evidence were wrong; more frequently, they have stood the test of further experimentation, and always, they have provided new insights into the nature and proper ties of this enzyme.

Book excerpt: Driving further the research on mammalian alkaline phosphatase structure and function, Phosphatase Modulators collects expert contributions into one “how to” manual for basic scientists interested in initiating a drug discovery effort. While this book contains the traditional method chapters and some typical reviews on the structure and known functions of phosphatases, other contributions are meant to discuss approaches and alternatives useful in making “go/no-go” decisions in high throughput screening (HTS) and lead optimization campaigns. Many chapters focus on tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) as well as protein phosphatases. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters in this volume include the kind of detail and key implementation advice that promotes reproducible results. Step-by-step and practical, Phosphatase Modulators offers a path to understanding many of the facets and complexities associated with undertaking a drug discovery effort and will serve as a roadmap to initiating those efforts.

Download or read book Purification and Properties of Human Alkaline Phosphatases written by Lorne Edwin Seargeant and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A general procedure for the purification of alkaline phosphatase from human tissues using affinity chromatography on a phosphonic acid- Sepharose derivative was developed. The enzymes from human liver, kidney, intestine, placenta and the serum of a patient with Paget's disease of bone were purified to apparent homogeneity as judged by several criteria. Some catalytic properties of alkaline phosphatase purified from human liver were studied. Under in vitro conditions the enzyme catalysed the hydrolysis of a number of phosphomonoesters which have been suggested to be possible physiological substrates. The V values for the hydrolysis of most substrates were very similar and the lowest K values were obtained at near-neutral pH. A calcium-sensitive ATPase activity could not be demonstrated, even in the presence of a calcium-dependent regulator protein. Ca and Mg ions abolished the ATPase and pyrophosphatase activities of liver alkaline phosphatase by formation of metal-substrate complexes. Phosphodiesters and phosphonic acids were not substrates of the enzyme although the latter compounds were inhibitors. The inhibition of liver alkaline phosphatase by phosphate (K^ = 35 yM) suggested that the enzyme activity in vivo may be largely inhibited. Vanadate was a potent competitive inhibitor of alkaline phosphatases from several sources (K_^ values were less than 1 yM) . The inhibition at physiological concentrations of vanadate, and the reversal of this inhibition by compounds such as L-epinephrine indicated that alkaline phosphatase may be regulated by vanadate. The removal of sialic acid residues from liver alkaline phosphatase by neuraminidase treatment caused the isoelectric point to change from 4.0 to 6.5, but had no influence on the specific activity of the enzyme, the values for six substrates, or the inhibition by L-homoarginine. The neuraminidase-treated enzyme was inactivated by heating at 56°C at the same rate as the native enzyme, but was inactivated by SDS more rapidly than the native enzyme. The amino acid compositions from 13 reports of alkaline phosphatase from mammalian and bacterial sources were compared. With the exception of the enzyme from human intestine, the results suggested that a high degree of compositional similarity was present. Apparent subunit molecular weight values, determined by SDS-PAGE for human alkaline phosphatases from liver, kidney, intestine, and Paget's serum were similar (92000-96000). The corresponding value for the enzyme from placenta w T as 74000. Maps of the radioiodinated peptides of alkaline phosphatase purified from human liver, kidney and Paget's serum were highly similar whereas the corresponding maps of the enzyme purified from intestine or placenta were different from each other and from the maps for the enzymes from the other tissues. These results and the data from heat inactivation and differential inhibition studies strongly suggest that three different structural genes code for the protein moiety of the alkaline phosphatase present in these tissues. The general purification protocol and the procedure for mapping the tryptic peptides from alkaline phosphatase radioiodinated within polyacrylamide gels appear to be useful for the characterization and structural identification of tumor-associated alkaline phosphatases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decade there has been a major sea change in the way disease is diagnosed and investigated due to the advent of high throughput technologies, such as microarrays, lab on a chip, proteomics, genomics, lipomics, metabolomics etc. These advances have enabled the discovery of new and novel markers of disease relating to autoimmune disorders, cancers, endocrine diseases, genetic disorders, sensory damage, intestinal diseases etc. In many instances these developments have gone hand in hand with the discovery of biomarkers elucidated via traditional or conventional methods, such as histopathology or clinical biochemistry. Together with microprocessor-based data analysis, advanced statistics and bioinformatics these markers have been used to identify individuals with active disease or pathology as well as those who are refractory or have distinguishing pathologies. New analytical methods that have been used to identify markers of disease and is suggested that there may be as many as 40 different platforms. Unfortunately techniques and methods have not been readily transferable to other disease states and sometimes diagnosis still relies on single analytes rather than a cohort of markers. There is thus a demand for a comprehensive and focused evidenced-based text and scientific literature that addresses these issues. Hence the formulation of Biomarkers in Disease. The series covers a wide number of areas including for example, nutrition, cancer, endocrinology, cardiology, addictions, immunology, birth defects, genetics, and so on. The chapters are written by national or international experts and specialists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phosphatases, such as TNAP are fundamental in regulating the roles of cellular, and consequently numerous body functions. TNAP is a ubiquitous enzyme with a wide spectrum of substrates and specificity. Regulation at the cellular level and the lack of TNAP activity is a lethal condition. Recent findings of a highly specific regional, laminar and subcellular localization of TNAP in the cerebral cortex indicates that in addition to its metabolic and skeletal functions, TNAP also plays a role in regulating cerebral functions, most probably cognition. In fact, TNAP disturbance could result in complex diseases such as epilepsy, developmental retardation and Alzheimer's disease. Available data suggest that, regarding brain functions, TNAP is a potentially important target of clinical research. This book aims to provide an overview of our current understanding of the functions of TNAP in the brain and on other tissues and organs.

This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Therapeutic enzymes exhibit fascinating features and opportunities, and represent a significant and promising subcategory of modern biopharmaceuticals for the treatment of several severe diseases. Research and drug developments efforts and the advancements in biotechnology over the past twenty years have greatly assisted the introduction of efficient and safe enzyme-based therapies for a range of both rare and common disorders. The introduction and regulatory approval of twenty different recombinant enzymes has enabled effective enzyme-replacement therapy. This volume aims to overview these therapeutic enzymes, focusing in particular on more recently approved enzymes produced by recombinant DNA technology. This volume is composed of four sections. Section 1 provides an overview of the production process and biochemical characterization of therapeutic enzymes, while Section 2 focuses upon the engineering strategies and delivery methods of therapeutic enzymes. Section 3 highlights the clinical applications of approved therapeutic enzymes, including aspects on their structure, indications and mechanisms of action. Together with information on these mechanisms, safety and immunogenicity issues and various adverse events of the recombinant enzymes used for therapy are discussed. Section 4, provides discussion on the prospective and future developments of new therapeutic enzymes. This book is aimed at academics, researchers and students undertaking advanced undergraduate/postgraduate programs in the biopharmaceutical/biotechnology area who wish to gain a comprehensive understanding of enzyme-based therapeutic molecules.
