General description

Acid phosphatase from potato is a phosphomonoesterase, which can appear in multiple molecular forms of similar molecular mass but with different isoelectric points.

Application

Acid phosphatase from potato has been used in a study to assess the potential allergenicity of novel gene products. It has also been used in a study to remove eight phosphate groups from casein at a pH of 7.0.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Acid phosphatases (APase) are a family of enzymes that non-specifically catalyze the hydrolysis of monoesters and anhydrides of phosphoric acid to produce inorganic phosphate at an optimum pH of 4 to 7.

Unit Definition

One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of p-nitrophenyl phosphate per min at pH 4.8 at 37 °C.

Potato acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) was used to remove the eight phosphate groups from alphas1-casein. Unlike most acid phosphatases, which are active at pH 6.0 or below, potato acid phosphatase can catalyze the dephosphorylation of alphas1-casein at pH 7.0. Although

With the development of genetically modified crops, there has been a growing interest in available approaches to assess the potential allergenicity of novel gene products. We were not sure whether Cry1C could induce allergy. We examined the protein with three

1. A purified preparation of alkaline phosphatase from calf-intestinal mucosa was phosphorylated by (32)P-labelled PP(i) at a serine residue on the enzyme. Under the conditions employed, up to 0.15mum-labelled sites were obtained from 1mum-[(32)P]PP(i). 2. The phosphorylated enzyme was labile
