摘要

A cytosolic preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is capable of hydrolyzing adenosine-5'-tetraphosphate and guanosine-5'-tetraphosphate with activities which are 1.5-2 times greater than that with polyP15. The apparent K(m) values for hydrolysis of adenosine-5'-tetraphosphate and guanosine-5'-tetraphosphate are 100 and 80 microM, respectively. A comparative study of inhibitors shows that these activities are inherent characteristics of these exopolyphosphatases.
