Abstract
Background Generalised arterial calcification of infancy (GACI) is a rare disorder characterised by the deposition of hydroxyapatite crystals within the vessel walls. It is associated with a high mortality rate. Bisphosphonates have been used with some success in the treatment of GACI. However, there is a paucity of data on the antenatal use of bisphosphonates for GACI. In this paper, we report development of the skeletal changes suggestive of hypophosphatasia (HPP) in an infant with GACI, whose mother was treated with etidronate during pregnancy. Case report A Caucasian infant boy had a suspected antenatal diagnosis of GACI based on the findings suggestive of calcification of the annulus of the tricuspid valve and wall of the right ventricular (RV) outflow tract and main pulmonary artery on foetal echocardiography and the genetic analysis which showed a pathogenic heterozygous mutation in ABCC6. Based on these findings, mother was started on etidronate treatment from 26 weeks of gestation. A healthy male baby was delivered at 38 weeks of gestation. Initial postnatal echocardiogram on day 1 of life was normal with good biventricular function; subtle changes suggestive of microcalcifications were detected on the CT angiography. Serum calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase and renal profile were normal. Further, the serum inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) level was significantly low. Skeletal changes suggestive of HPP were seen on the radiographs. The baby developed cardiac dysfunction on day 4 of life with evidence of ischaemic changes on electrocardiogram (ECG).Treatment with etidronate was started in view of probable evolving coronary calcifications. Despite treatment with cardiac supportive measures and bisphosphonate, he succumbed to death in the third week of life. Discussion We believe, this is the first report of skeletal changes suggestive of HPP, arising secondary to antenatal etidronate (first generation bisphosphonate) used for the treatment of suspected GACI due to a heterozygous ABCC6 mutation.

Abstract
In animals, energy-rich molecules like ATP are generated in the intracellular compartment from metabolites, e.g. glucose, taken up by the cells. Recent results revealed that inorganic polyphosphates (polyP) can provide an extracellular system for energy transport and delivery. These polymers of multiple phosphate units, linked by high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds, use blood platelets as transport vehicles to reach their target cells. In this review it is outlined how polyP affects cell metabolism. It is discussed that polyP influences cell activity in a dual way: (i) as a metabolic fuel transferring metabolic energy through the extracellular space; and (ii) as a signaling molecule that amplifies energy/ATP production in mitochondria. Several metabolic pathways are triggered by polyP, among them biomineralization/hydroxyapatite formation onto bone cells. The accumulation of polyP in the platelets allows long-distance transport of the polymer in the extracellular space. The discovery of polyP as metabolic fuel and signaling molecule initiated the development of novel techniques for encapsulation of polyP into nanoparticles. They facilitate cellular uptake of the polymer by receptor-mediated endocytosis and allow the development of novel strategies for therapy of metabolic diseases associated with deviations in energy metabolism or mitochondrial dysfunctions.

Abstract
Generalized arterial calcification (AC) of infancy (GACI) is an autosomal recessive disorder that features hydroxyapatite deposition within arterial elastic fibers. Untreated, approximately 85% of GACI patients die by 6 months of age from cardiac ischemia and congestive heart failure. The first-generation bisphosphonate etidronate (EHDP; ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonic acid, also known as 1-hydroxyethylidene-bisphosphonate) inhibits bone resorption and can mimic endogenous inorganic pyrophosphate by blocking mineralization. With EHDP therapy for GACI, AC may resolve without recurrence upon treatment cessation. Skeletal disease is not an early characteristic of GACI, but rickets can appear from acquired hypophosphatemia or prolonged EHDP therapy. We report a 7-year-old boy with GACI referred for profound, acquired, skeletal disease. AC was gone after 5 months of EHDP therapy during infancy, but GACI-related joint calcifications progressed. He was receiving EHDP, 200 mg/day orally, and had odynodysphagia, diffuse opioid-controlled pain, plagiocephaly, facial dysmorphism, joint calcifications, contractures, and was wheelchair bound. Biochemical parameters of mineral homeostasis were essentially normal. Serum osteocalcin was low and the brain isoform of creatine kinase and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP-5b) were elevated as in osteopetrosis. Skeletal radiographic findings resembled pediatric hypophosphatasia with pancranial synostosis, long-bone bowing, widened physes, as well as metaphyseal osteosclerosis, cupping and fraying, and "tongues" of radiolucency. Radiographic features of osteopetrosis included osteosclerosis and femoral Erlenmeyer flask deformity. After stopping EHDP, he improved rapidly, including remarkable skeletal healing and decreased joint calcifications. Profound, but rapidly reversible, inhibition of skeletal mineralization with paradoxical calcifications near joints can occur in GACI from protracted EHDP therapy. Although EHDP treatment is lifesaving in GACI, surveillance for toxicity is crucial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skeletons are formed in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and compositions of organic and mineral components. Many invertebrate skeletons are constructed from carbonate or silicate minerals, whereas vertebrate skeletons are instead composed of a calcium phosphate mineral known as apatite. No one yet knows why the dynamic vertebrate skeleton, which is continually rebuilt, repaired, and resorbed during growth and normal remodeling, is composed of apatite. Nor is the control of bone and calcifying cartilage mineralization well understood, though it is thought to be associated with phosphate-cleaving proteins. Researchers have assumed that skeletal mineralization is also associated with non-crystalline, calcium- and phosphate-containing electron-dense granules that have been detected in vertebrate skeletal tissue prepared under non-aqueous conditions. Again, however, the role of these granules remains poorly understood. Here, we review bone and growth plate mineralization before showing that polymers of phosphate ions (polyphosphates: (PO(3)(-))(n)) are co-located with mineralizing cartilage and resorbing bone. We propose that the electron-dense granules contain polyphosphates, and explain how these polyphosphates may play an important role in apatite biomineralization. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS/METHODOLOGY The enzymatic formation (condensation) and destruction (hydrolytic degradation) of polyphosphates offers a simple mechanism for enzymatic control of phosphate accumulation and the relative saturation of apatite. Under circumstances in which apatite mineral formation is undesirable, such as within cartilage tissue or during bone resorption, the production of polyphosphates reduces the free orthophosphate (PO(4)(3-)) concentration while permitting the accumulation of a high total PO(4)(3-) concentration. Sequestering calcium into amorphous calcium polyphosphate complexes can reduce the concentration of free calcium. The resulting reduction of both free PO(4)(3-) and free calcium lowers the relative apatite saturation, preventing formation of apatite crystals. Identified in situ within resorbing bone and mineralizing cartilage by the fluorescent reporter DAPI (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole), polyphosphate formation prevents apatite crystal precipitation while accumulating high local concentrations of total calcium and phosphate. When mineralization is required, tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme associated with skeletal and cartilage mineralization, cleaves orthophosphates from polyphosphates. The hydrolytic degradation of polyphosphates in the calcium-polyphosphate complex increases orthophosphate and calcium concentrations and thereby favors apatite mineral formation. The correlation of alkaline phosphatase with this process may be explained by the destruction of polyphosphates in calcifying cartilage and areas of bone formation. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE We hypothesize that polyphosphate formation and hydrolytic degradation constitute a simple mechanism for phosphate accumulation and enzymatic control of biological apatite saturation. This enzymatic control of calcified tissue mineralization may have permitted the development of a phosphate-based, mineralized endoskeleton that can be continually remodeled.

Abstract
Collagenase treatment, commonly used to prepare alkaline phosphatase-rich matrix vesicles from epiphyseal cartilage growth plates, seems to affect the integrity of this membrane-bound enzyme. Alkaline phosphatase-rich rat osseous plates were incubated with 1,000 U/mL collagenase for 3 h, at 37 degrees C and after purification on Sepharose 4B, kinetic studies were performed using nitrophenylphosphate and pyrophosphate as substrates. The optimum apparent pH for the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylphosphate and pyrophosphate increased from 9.4 to 10.25 and from 8.0 to 9.0, respectively, as a consequence ofcollagenase treatment. In the absence of Mg2+ ions, the enzyme hydrolyzed PNPP with KM = 322.5 +/- 15.3 microM and V = 965.2 +/- 45.8 U/mg, while in the presence of 2 mM Mg2+ ions, V increased 66%. Cobalt (K0.5 = 5.3 +/- 0.3 microM) and manganese (K0.5 = 0.72 +/- 0.03 microM) ions stimulated the PNPPase activity of the collagenase-treated enzyme, but with a lower apparent affinity when compared with that of not-treated enzyme. In the absence of Mg2+ ions pyrophosphate was hydrolyzed according to Michaelis-Menten kinetics (KM = 105.1 +/- 6.3 microM and V = 64.9 +/- 3.9 U/mg), but site-site interactions (nH = 1.2) were observed in the presence of 2 mM Mg2+ ions (V = 110.8 +/- 5.5 U/mg; K0.5 = 42.7 +/- 2.0 microM). To our knowledge this is the first report showing significant alterations on phosphohydrolytic activity and metal binding properties of bone alkaline phosphatase due to associated neutral proteases in collagenase preparations often used for the isolation of matrix vesicles.

Abstract
Reversible inhibition, irreversible inhibition, and activation of calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) have been studied by capillary electrophoresis. The capillary electrophoretic enzyme-inhibitor assays were based on electrophoretic mixing of inhibitor and enzyme zones in a substrate-filled capillary. Enzyme inhibition was indicated by a decrease in product formation detected in the capillary by laser-induced fluorescence. Reversible enzyme inhibitors could be quantified by Michaelis-Menten treatment of the electrophoretic data. Reversible, competitive inhibition of alkaline phosphatase by sodium vanadate and sodium arsenate has been examined, and reversible, noncompetitive inhibition by theophylline has been studied. The K(i) values determined for these reversible inhibitors using capillary electrophoresis are within the range of values reported in the literature for the same enzyme-inhibitor combinations. Irreversible inhibition of alkaline phosphatase by EDTA at concentrations of 1.0mM and above has been observed. Activation of alkaline phosphatase has also been observed for EDTA at concentrations from 20 to 400 microM.

Abstract
A soluble form of an alkaline phosphatase, obtained from the osseous plate of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, was purified 90-fold with a yield of 26%. The calculated Mr of the purified enzyme was 80,000 by denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 160,000 by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-300, suggesting a dimeric structure for its native form. In the absence of metal ions, the p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity of the purified enzyme was 4223.1 U/mg. Magnesium or calcium ion concentrations up to 2 mM increased the specific activity of the enzyme to 9896.5 and 10,796.2 U/mg, respectively. The enzyme was stimulated to a lesser extent by MnCl2 (5390.1 U/mg) and CoCl2 (5088.2 U/mg). The purified soluble alkaline phosphatase showed a broad substrate specificity, and among the less hydrolyzed substrates were pyrophosphate (1517.6 U/mg) and bis-p-nitrophenylphosphate (499.6 U/mg). The enzyme was relatively stable at 45 degrees for periods as long as 180 min, but was denatured rapidly above 50 degrees, following first order kinetics with T1/2 values ranging from 3.5 to 57.7 min. The results reported herein suggested that the soluble form of alkaline phosphatase from streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats had its kinetic properties altered, apparently as a consequence of changes in metal-binding properties.

Abstract
The volvocine algae provide the unique opportunity for exploring development of an extracellular matrix. Volvox is the most advanced member of this family and represents the simplest multicellular organism, with differentiated cells, a complete division of labor, and a complex extracellular matrix, which serves structural and enzymatic functions. In Volvox carteri a glycosylated extracellular phosphatase was identified, which is partially released from the extracellular matrix into the growth medium. The phosphatase is synthesized in response to inorganic phosphate starvation and is strictly calcium-dependent. The metalloenzyme has been purified to homogeneity and characterized. Its gene and cDNA have been cloned. Comparisons of genomic and cDNA sequences revealed an extremely intron-rich gene (32 introns). With an apparent molecular mass of 160 kDa the Volvox extracellular phosphatase is the largest phosphatase cloned, with no sequence similarity to any other phosphatase. This enzyme exhibits a modular composition. There are two large domains and a small one. The large domains are highly homologous to each other and therefore most likely originated from gene duplication and fusion. At least one EF-hand motif for calcium binding was identified in this extracellular protein. Volvox extracellular phosphatase is the first calcium-dependent extracellular phosphatase to be cloned.

Abstract
Pyrophosphatase activity of rat osseous plate alkaline phosphatase was studied at different concentrations of calcium and magnesium ions, with the aim of characterizing the modulation of enzyme activity by these metals. In the absence of metal ions, the enzyme hydrolysed pyrophosphate following "Michaelian" kinetics with a specific activity of 36.7 U/mg and K0.5 = 88 microM. In the presence of low concentrations (0.1 mM) of magnesium (or calcium) ions, the enzyme also exhibited "Michaelian" kinetics for the hydrolysis of pyrophosphate, but a significant increase in specific activity (123 U/mg) was observed, K(m) values remained almost unchanged. Quite different behavior occurred in the presence of 2 mM magnesium (or calcium) ions. In addition to low-affinity sites (K0.5-40 and 90 microM, for magnesium and calcium, respectively), high-affinity sites were also observed with K0.5 values 100-fold lower. The high-affinity sites observed in the presence of calcium ions represented about 10% of those observed for magnesium ions. This was correlated with the fact that only magnesium ions triggered conformational changes yielding a fully active enzyme. These results suggested that the enzyme could hydrolyse pyrophosphate, even at physiological concentrations (4 microM), since magnesium concentrations are high enough to trigger conformational changes increasing the enzyme activity. A model, suggesting the involvement of magnesium ions in the hydrolysis of pyrophosphate by rat osseous plate alkaline phosphatase is proposed.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase from rat osseous plate is allosterically modulated by ATP, calcium and magnesium at pH 7.5. At pH 9.4, the hydrolysis of ATP and PNPP follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics with K0.5 values of 154 microM and 42 microM, respectively. However, at pH 7.5 both substrates exhibit more complex saturation curves, while only ATP exhibited site-site interactions. Ca(2+)-ATP and Mg(2+)-ATP were effective substrates for the enzyme, while the specific activity of the enzyme for the hydrolysis of ATP at pH 7.5 was 800-900 U/mg and was independent of the ion species. ATP, but not PNPP, was hydrolyzed slowly in the absence of metal ions with a specific activity of 140 U/mg. These data demonstrate that in vitro and at pH 7.5 rat osseous plate alkaline phosphatase is an active calcium or magnesium-activated ATPase.

Abstract
A soluble form of an alkaline phosphatase obtained from rat osseous plates was purified 204-fold with a yield of 24.3%. The purified enzyme showed a single protein band of Mr 80,000 on SDS-PAGE and an apparent molecular weight of 163,000 by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-300 suggesting a dimeric structure for the soluble enzyme. The specific activity of the enzyme at pH 9.4 in the presence of 2 mM MgCl2 was 19,027 U/mg and the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate (K0.5 = 92 microM) showed positive cooperativity (n = 1.5). The purified enzyme showed a broad substrate specificity, however, ATP, bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate and pyrophosphate were among the less hydrolyzed substrates assayed. Surprisingly the enzyme was not stimulated by cobalt and manganese ions, in contrast with a 20-25% stimulation observed for magnesium and calcium ions. Zinc ions exerted a strong inhibition on p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity of the enzyme. This paper provides a simple experimental procedure for the isolation of a soluble form of alkaline phosphatase which is induced by demineralized bone matrix during endochondral ossification.

Abstract
For the purified alkaline phosphatase from bone, the ability to catalyze a phosphate transfer reaction from p-nitrophenyl phosphate to two different hydroxy acceptor compounds, ethanolamine and glycerol, was established by identification of the formed phosphorylated products, phosphoethanolamine and glycerol 3-phosphate, respectively. In addition, a steady-state kinetic analysis of the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate in the presence of an added nucleophile, diethanolamine, gave rise to the proposal of a simple model for the kinetic mechanism of the enzyme. This mechanism includes a covalent phosphoryl enzyme intermediate, the dephosphorylation of which by water (k3) or a nucleophile (k4) is rate-determining. According to this model, in the presence of diethanolamine, k3 and k4 were determined to be 4.44 s-1 M-1 and 1000 s-1 M-1, respectively. Therefore, in vitro a suitable nucleophile, such as diethanolamine, seems to be a better phosphate acceptor than water. These results may suggest that alkaline phosphatase from bone could be well suited for catalyzing phosphate transfer reactions in vivo as well.

Abstract
The activities of glucosaminidase, galactosaminidase, and glucuronidase were determined in fractions of bovine growth plate cartilage. Glucosaminidase and galactosaminidase activities were lowest in the area corresponding to the reserve cartilage and increased from the upper to the lower portions of the hypertrophic zones of the growth plate, reaching a maximum in the calcifying cartilage. Glucuronidase activity showed a distinct spike of activity in the calcifying cartilage. The spatial distribution of these activities suggests a role in calcification and in the dissolution of the extracellular matrix at the chondro-osseous junction of the growth plate.

Abstract
1. The effect of levamisole (LMS) on alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) and 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) activities of bovine milk fat globule membranes (MFGM) was examined. 2. LMS inhibited MFGM alkaline phosphatase activity in a concentration-dependent manner with 50% inhibition produced by 49 +/- 23 microM LMS. 3. 5'-Nucleotidase was resistant to LMS inhibition with 30.9% inhibition produced by 10 mM LMS, the highest concentration tested. 4. LMS was an uncompetitive inhibitor of MFGM alkaline phosphatase with a Ki of 45 +/- 6 microM. 5. The extent of LMS inhibition of alkaline phosphatase was dependent on the substrate utilized in the assay. 6. The effect of LMS on bovine MFGM alkaline phosphatase was similar to LMS effects on other mammalian alkaline phosphatases of liver/kidney/bone/placental isoenzyme origin.

Abstract
1. Solubilized and membrane-bound alkaline phosphatase showed Michaelis-Menten behavior in a wide range of different substrate concentrations. 2. Membrane-bound alkaline phosphatase has a molecular weight of 130,000 and its minimum active configuration comprises two identical subunits of about 65,000. 3. The two forms of the enzyme behave similarly with respect to NaCl, urea and guanidine HCl. 4. Catalytic groups have pK values of about 8.5 and 9.7 for both membrane-bound and solubilized enzyme.

Abstract
Collagen-alkaline phosphatase membranes have been prepared, and their enzymatic kinetics and in-vitro stability analyzed. Collagen-alkaline phosphatase dispersions were prepared by complexation in aqueous alkaline solution and cast into membranes by controlled dehydration. These membranes were then crosslinked in glutaraldehyde solution, washed thoroughly, and dried. Crosslinking in glutaraldehyde confers increased stability of catalytic activity to these collagen-enzyme membranes, especially when compared to uncrosslinked collagen-alkaline phosphatase membranes assayed in a similar fashion. Crosslinking in glutaraldehyde also appears to inhibit gross leaching of the soluble enzyme from the carrier matrix. Apparent intrinsic kinetic properties of the collagen-alkaline phosphatase conjugate were analyzed in membranes of various thickness in order to determine the effect of internal diffusion resistances on the kinetics of the immobilized enzyme. The apparent Michaelis constant of the immobilized enzyme decreased as a function of decreasing membrane thickness, reaching an observed apparent Michaelis constant of 1.6mM at a membrane thickness of 0.2 mm. Extrapolation of the apparent Michaelis constant to zero membrane thickness, using a linear plot of the natural logarithm of the apparent Michaelis constant versus membrane thickness, allowed estimation of the true Michaelis constant of the immobilized enzyme. The estimated value for the true Michaelis constant of the collagen-alkaline phosphatase complex was 0.7mM. This value agrees closely with reported values for several purified mammalian alkaline phosphatase. The apparent Michaelis constant for the 0.2mm collagen-enzyme membrane agrees closely with the Michaelis constant reported for an alkaline phosphate purified from chondrocyte matrix vesicles. The intrinsic maximum reaction velocity (V(m)) of the collagen-enzyme complex was estimated b plotting the observed reaction rate as a function of decreasing membrane thickness and extrapolating such plots, at various substrate concentrations, to the limiting case of zero membrane thickness. The maximum reaction velocity was obtained by the common intercept of these plots as they approached zero membrane thickness.

Abstract
Cyclic AMP content in embryonic chick pelvic cartilage increases significantly as the embryo ages from 8 to 10 d. This in ovo elevation in cyclic AMP content precedes maximal cartilage alkaline phosphatase activity by some 24 h. We studied whether this temporal relationship may be causally related, using an in vitro organ culture. Incubation of pelvic cartilage from 9- and 10-d embryos in medium containing monobutyryl cyclic AMP (BtcAMP) resulted in significant increases in alkaline phosphatase activity (220 and 66 percent, respectively) as compared to that of cartilages incubated in medium alone. This stimulation was both concentration- and time-dependent with maximal response at 0.5 mM BtcAMP and 4-h incubation, respectively. Similar incubations of cartilage in medium containing 1-methyl-3-isobutyl xanthine (MIX), 0.25 mM, also resulted in increased alkaline phosphatase activity (114 percent). However, pelvic cartilage from 11-d embryos incubated in medium containing BtcAMP or MIX showed no increase in alkaline phosphatase activity. We postulated that developmental age was the factor responsible for this difference in response and that immature cartilage (that with little or no alkaline phosphatase activity) would respond to BtcAMP whereas mature cartilage (that with significant alkaline phosphatase activity) would not. This was tested by incubating end sections of 11-d cartilage, which have little alkaline phosphatase activity, and center sections, which have significantly alkaline phosphatase activity, with both BtcAMP and MIX. Alkaline phosphatase activity in end sections (immature cartilage) was stimulated by BtcAMP and MIX, whereas it was not stimulated in the center sections. Actinomycin D and cycloheximide inhibited BtcAMP and MIX stimulation of alkaline phosphatase activity. Thus, the in vitro data suggest that cyclic AMP is a mediator for the stimulation of alkaline phosphatase activity in embryonic cartilage.
