4-Nitrophenyl and 2-naphthyl monoesters of phenylphosphonic acid have been synthesized, and an en-zyme catalyzing their hydrolysis was resolved from alkaline phosphatase of a commercial calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase preparation by extensive ion-exchange chromatography, chromatography on L-phenylalanyl-Sepharose with a decreasing gradient of (NLLhSO^ and gel filtration. De-tergent-solubilized enzyme from fresh bovine intestine was purified after (NH4) 2S04 fractionation by the same tech-nique. The purified enzyme is homogeneous bypolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and sedimentation equilibrium centrifugation. It has a molecular weight of 108,000, con-tains approximately 21% carbohydrate, and has an amino acid composition considerably different from that reported from alkaline phosphatase from the same tissue. The homo-geneous intestinal enzyme, an efficient catalyst of phosphonate ester hydrolysis but not of phosphate monoester hydrolysis, was identified as a 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase by its ability to hydrolyze 4-nitrophenyl esters of 5'-TMP but not of 3'-TMP. Also consistent with this identification have shown (Kelly and Butler, 1975; Kelly et al., 1975) that an enzymic activity capable of hydrolyzing monoesters of phosphonic acids1 is broadly distributed throughout nature. Several properties of this enzyme ob-tained fromcalf intestine resemble those of intestinal alkaline phosphatase, raising the possibility that both activities are properties of the same protein. In this paper we describe the resolution of phosphonate esterase activity from alkaline phosphatase, the purification to homogeneity, from the commercial preparations as well as from fresh bovine intes-tine, of the enzyme responsible for phosphonate esterase ac-tivity, and its identification as an exonuclease capable of hydrolyzing single-stranded nucleic acids to nucleoside 5'-phosphates (5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase).
