Abstract:

Biochemical properties of alkaline phosphatase obtained from fruticose lichen Usnea.sp have

been described. The enzyme was purified 38439.26 fold with 7.32% recovery by DEAE-cellulose

and Sephadex G-200 Chromatography. The molar mass was estimated by Sephadex G-200 was

132.7KD and by 6% SDS-PAGE, a single band of 66 KD was obtained indicating a homodimer.

Temperature and pH optima were 35 C and pH 8.5 respectively. The enzyme was moderately

glycosylated (42% saccharide content). The activity was enhanced by Mg2+

(6.07-128.3%), Mn2+

(18.66-85.1%), Na+ (6.07%-64.47%), Al

3+ ( 4.5-52.58% ), Ba

2+ (2.95-25.2%). 4-

nitrophenylphosphate was hydrolysed with KM and Vmax of 6.67mM-1 and 22.22µM of PNPP

consumed/min respectively at pH 8.5. Amino acids at the active site have been identified using

Diisopropylphosphofloridate ( DIPF) , Diethylpyrocarbonate ( DEPC ), Diazomethane and 1-

ethyl-3( 3-dimethyl) aminopropylcarbodiimide ( EDAC) to be serine, histidine and aspartic acid

respectively.
