Both P-i-repressible acid phosphatases, IIb (mycelial) and IIc (extracellular), synthesized by Neurospora crassa and purified to apparent homogeneity by 7.5% PAGE, are monomers, are inhibited by 2 mM ZnCl2 and are nonspecifically stimulated by salts. However, the IIc form is activated by p-nitrophenylphosphate (in a negative cooperativity effect with a K-0.5 of 2.5 mM) whereas form IIb shows Michaelis kinetics, with a K-m of 0.5 mM. Thus, since both enzymatic forms may be expressed by the same gene (pho-3), it is possible that post-translational modifications lead to the excretion of an enzymatic form with altered Michaelis kinetics compared with the enzymatic form retained by the mycelium.

1. The mycelial Pi-repressible acid phosphatase presented p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity with negative cooperativity and Michaelian behavior when synthesized by the wild-type and pho-2A mutant strains of Neurospora crassa, respectively.2. The major acid phosphatase present in cell extracts of the pho-2A mutant of N. crassa grown in low Pi medium is more thermolabile (t1/2 = 4 min at 54-degrees-C, pH 5.4) than that of the wild strain (stable for at least 80 min at 54-degrees-C, pH 5.4).3. The pho-2A mutant of N. crassa secreted a more thermolabile acid phosphatase (t1/2 = 30 min at 50-degrees-C, pH 5.4) than the wild strain (t1/2 of at least 80 min at 50-degrees-C, pH 5.4).4. The pho-2A mutant of N. crassa synthesized a more thermolabile acid phosphatase (t1/2 = 37 min at 54-degrees-C, pH 5.4) than the wild strain in high Pi medium (t1/2 = 14 min al 54-degrees-C, pH 5.4).5. The pleiotropic nature of the pho-2 locus and its possible involvement in the mechanism of phosphatase secretion by N. crassa are proposed.
