Bacterial acid phosphatase and its application to waste remediation and metal recovery
PhoN-type acid phosphatase from an atypical Serratia sp. was applied to the removal of radionuclides from aqueous flows. In the presence of metal ions the phosphatase produces metal phosphate at the cell surface via the liberation of inorganic phosphate from a phosphate donor …

The evaluation of the specificity of the Acid Phosphatase test to identify semen
… Blue (FB) test, which detects the presence of acid phosphatase (AP) by a colour change reaction. AP is an enzyme which is present in human semen in high concentrations, but is also found in animal semen at lower concentrations. The current methods of presumptive testing cannot differentiate …

The secretion of acid phosphatase by proteaceae as an adaptation to limited phosphate availability
The Proteaceae are a distinctive component of South Africa’s Fynbos and Australia’s Kwongan vegetation and display a number of adaptations to the soils of these nutrientpoor regions, where availability of phosphate (P) is particularly limited. The Proteaceae are notable for the virtually …

Characterization of a Putative Acid Phosphatase in Toxoplasma Gondii and Its Role in Parasite Propagation
… protein GRA44, which contains a putative acid phosphatase domain, has been discovered to interact with members of this translocon and is required for downstream alteration of host cells. GRA44 was found to be post-translationally cleaved in a region homologous to sequences targeted by …

Analysis of N-Linked Oligosaccharides of Prostate-Specific Antigen and Prostatic Acid Phosphatase in Prostatic Fluids
… of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) in prostate proximal fluids, as well as to examine the total glycan profile for prostate proximal fluids with the intent of discovering carbohydrate-based biomarkers for the detection of early prostate carcinomas. To this end, …

Identification and characterization of the acid phosphatase from Francisella tularensis and its potential role in pathogenesis
… intermediates of the respiratory burst. Purified acid phosphatases (ACP) from Leishmania donovani and Legionella micdadei have been shown to cause the dose dependent suppression of the respiratory burst (Remaley et al., 1984 and Saha et al., 1985). Depression of the respiratory burst by …

Heterologous Expression of Arabidopsis Thaliana Purple Acid Phosphatase Gene (Atpap15) in Crops for Phytoremediation of Sites Contaminated with Excess Phosphorus
<p>AtPAP15 is one of the purple acid phosphatases expressed by Arabidopsis thaliana that has been extensively studied. Purified AtPAP15 has been shown to exhibit both phytase and phosphomonoesterase activities in acidic pH with maximal activity at pH 4.5. AtPAP15 is a phosphorus starvation …

The study of sonic hedgehog signaling pathway in the development of lysosomal acid phosphatase (Acp2) mutant mice cerebellar granule cells
A lysosomal acid phosphatase 2 (Acp2) mutant mouse (naked-ataxia, nax) shows severe cerebellar cortex defect with a significant reduction in granule cells in the cerebellum. The sonic hedgehog (SHH) and N-Myc pathways are important for granule cell precursor proliferation and differentiation. The …

Hydrolytic enzyme activities in leaf senescense
<p>Acid phosphatase activity has been interpreted as being associated with senescence in several plant systems. Consistent with this interpretation, this study demonstrates that in excised apical portions of wheat leaves kept in the light acid phosphatase activity slowly increases with time. …

Spatial variability of soil biological and chemical indicators in selected soils in South Africa
… respiration, cellulolytic, catalase, urease, acid phosphatase, organic carbon and total nitrogen, cation exchange capacity, soil pH and soil texture were determined using standard methods. Descriptive and geostatistical analyses were performed using ArcMap® version 9.0. The results showed that …

The use of purified enzymes for the early assessment of toxicity
… of three purified enzymes: α-chymotrypsin, acid phosphatase, and carbonic anhydrase for use in the early assessment of toxicants at environmentally significant levels. Activities of α-chymotrypsin and acid phosphatase were measured spectrophotometrically, while carbonic anhydrase activities …

The effect of osmotic shock on the release of acid phoshatase activity from streptococcus mutants
… mutans strain PR-89 and the measurement of the acid phosphatase activity of the shocked cells. This enzyme could be a primary etiological agent in dental caries formation, and a simple me~hod of releasing-the enzyme would greatly facilitate the characterization of its properties. During the …

Moessbauer Studies of Exchange-Coupled Two-Iron Centers in Proteins (Hemerythrin, Uteroferrin, Epr)
… and reduced forms of uteroferrin, a purple acid phosphatase isolated from porcine uterine fluid. Both proteins contain an exchange-coupled pair of iron atoms coordinated directly to amino acid side chains.

Phosphate nutrition in the Ricinus communis L. seedling
… of seedlings, thus a phosphate transporters and acid phosphatases are expected to be involved in these processes. The aim of this study was to clarify the translocation of Pi within the seedlings and to identify the involvement of phosphate transporters and acid phosphatases in the growth of …

Some aspects of the ultrastructure and enzyme cytochemistry of normal and virus-transformed cells
… shows that transformed 3T3 cells have higher acid phosphatase activity than normal cells. This is confirmed by biochemical assays which also show that, unlike acid phosphatase, glucosaminidase has higher activity in normal cells. Biochemistry additionally provides a means of studying the …
