Cell-free extracts ofUreaplasma urealyticumstrains Pi and T960 (CX8) (serovars 6 and 8, respectively) metabolized inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi). The inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) activity was greatest with Mg2+as cofactor, but Mn2+acted as a poor substitute. The PPases of the two serovars differed electrophoretically. Although the highest PPase activity was obtained using PPias substrate, the enzyme could also utilize to a lesser degree both tripolyphosphate and trimetaphosphate. No activity was observed against β-glycerophosphate, naphthyl phosphates, glucose 6-phosphate, fructose 6-phosphate, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, thiamin pyrophosphate, phosphoribosylpyrophosphate, ADP or ATP. Acid- and alkaline-phosphatase activities were observed with naphthyl phosphates as substrates, but they did not have the same electrophoretic mobility on gels as the PPase activity.U. urealyticumPPase was inhibited by oxidized glutathione, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, phenyl-glyoxal,p-chloromercuribenzoic acid, Mn2+, Zn2+and Ca2+. Neither reduced glutathione,l-cysteine nor Co2+enhanced activity. PPican act as a substrate or regulator of certain metabolic reactions, and PPimetabolism can function in bacterial bioenergetics; its role in ureaplasmas is presently unclear.
