Abstract
1.
1. The acid phosphatase (AcPase, EC 3.1.3.2) IV from rat testicular tissue was purified to apparent homogeneity.
2.
2. The enzyme displays a native molecular weight of 70 kDa determined on gel permeation chromatography on a Sephadex G-100 column and 68 kDa using linear 5–20% sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The subunit molecular weight on SDS-PAGE analysis is 67 kDa, suggesting that the enzyme is a monomeric protein.
3.
3. The enzyme does not bind to Concanavaline A-Sepharose 4B column, indicating that it is not a glycoprotein.
4.
4. The rat testis AcPase IV is a metal activated enzyme in which Mg2+ is the metal activating agent with a Ka, = 0.88 × 10−3 M. The Michaelis constant for p-nitrophenylphosphate, in the presence of saturating concentrations of Mg2+ ions, is 0.23 × 10−3 M.
5.
5. The enzyme preferentially hydrolizes p-nitrophenylphosphate, phenylphosphate and ATP.
