Abstract
Acid phosphatase and ribonuclease extracted with 0.1 M sodium acetate buffer, pH 5.1 from Dactylis glomerata seeds, and partially purified by means of 70% ethanol precipitation showed electrophoretic and Chromatographic heterogeneity. After chromatography on DEAE-cellulose acid phosphatase and ribonuclease were separated into four peaks. Nonadsorbing acid phosphatase on DEAE-cellulose (peak I) was separated into four peaks on CM-cellulose. The highest activity (11 units/mg) was found in fraction b (acid phosphatase Ib). The enzyme was activated by Mg<sup>2+</sup>, Ca<sup>2+</sup>, Li<sup>+</sup>, Cs<sup>+</sup>, K<sup>+</sup> ions and inhibited by Cu<sup>2+</sup>, Zu<sup>2+</sup>, F<sup>-</sup> and Mo<sup>-6</sup> at optimum pH 5.0. Strong absorbing ribonuclease on DEAE-cellulose (peak IV) was further separated on G-200 Sephadex into two molecular forms: RN-asa1 and RN-ase2. Ribonuclease l, a thermolabile enzyme with specific activity 807 units/mg, showed an optimal activity at pH 4.8-5.1.
