RESUMO

Events as phosphorilation and desphosphorilation are experienced in cell growth and differentiation processes. Tyrosine phosphatases proteins are involved in these processes. These enzymes are found in animals, plants and occur in multiple forms, differing in relative molecular weight, substrate specificity and sensitivity to inhibitors. The enzymes that have low molecular weight (between 18-20KDa), hydrolize p-nitrophenilphosphate and are sensible to p-hidroximercuribenzoate are known as low molecular weight relative tyrosine phosphatase proteins (PTP-LMWr) or acid phosphatase. Several data suggest that bone cell types, such as osteoblasts, may express this enzyme activity. Here, osteosblast cultures derived from medulla removed from rat femur were investigated to standardize the methodology of PTP-LMW obtainment. The expression and the catalytic activity of this protein in different stages of osteoblast growth were checked as well. It was observed that 16-19 culture days are necessary to obtain greater levels of activity of PTP-LMW in the cytoplasmatic extracts. The gene expression level of PTP-LMW was determined by quantitative real-time PCR, and a greater quantity of mRNA was observed within sixteen days of osteoblast growth. The partial biochemistry characterization confirms a single active band in poliacrilamide gel with molecular weight of about 17.6KDa, and a pH-optimum around 5.5. p-nitrophenilphosphate hydrolysis shows a small cooperative behavior (n=1.2) with K0.5=0.12mM and Vmax=3.5U/mg. This activity was strongly inhibited (about 60-95%) by ammonium molybdate (10mM); sodium phosphate (10mM); sodium orthovanadate (10mM) and sodium p-hydroximercuribenzoate (10mM). These properties are typical for this enzyme class.
