Alkaline Phosphatase (APase) activity has been shown to be enhanced specifically in mitogen stimulated B lymphocytes committed to proliferation, but not in T lymphocytes. APase gene expression was analyzed in proliferating murine and human primary lymphocytes and human malignant cell lines using reverse transcriptase and real time PCR. In mitogen stimulated murine splenic lymphocytes, enhancement of APase activity correlated well with an increase in APase gene expression. However, in mitogen stimulated murine T lymphocytes and human PBL despite a vigorous proliferative response, no increase in APase enzyme activity or gene expression was observed. A constitutive expression of APase activity concomitant with APase gene expression was observed inhuman myeloma cell line, U266 B1. However, neither enzyme activity nor gene expression of APase were observed in human T cell lymphoma, SUPT-1. The results suggest a differential expression of APase activity and its gene in proliferating primary lymphocytes of mice and humans. The specific expression of APase activity and its gene only in human myeloma cells, but not in proliferating primary B cells can be exploited as a sensitive disease marker.

Article Synopsis
- * BnaPAP17s play a crucial role in utilizing organic phosphorus by converting it to inorganic phosphorus, which is essential for plant growth in nutrient-deficient soils.
- * Experimental evidence shows that overexpressing BnaPAP17s boosts APase activity, leading to higher phosphorus uptake when ATP is the only phosphorus source, indicating their importance for increasing nutrient efficiency in plants.

Organic phosphorus (Po) mineralization hydrolyzed by alkaline phosphatase (APase) can replenish bioavailable P load in the sediment water ecosystem of lakes. However, the understanding about the interaction between P load and bacteria community encoding APase generation in the sediment are still limited. Different P pools in the sediments from Taihu Lake, China were measured using sequential extraction procedure.

Legume crops establish symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing rhizobia for biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), a process that provides a prominent natural nitrogen source in agroecosystems; and efficient nodulation and nitrogen fixation processes require a large amount of phosphorus (P). Here, a role of GmPAP4, a nodule-localized purple acid phosphatase, in BNF and seed yield was functionally characterized in whole transgenic soybean () plants under a P-limited condition. was specifically expressed in the infection zones of soybean nodules and its expression was greatly induced in low P stress.

Article Synopsis
- Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) is a major oil crop that struggles with low phosphorus availability, which is often found in organic forms in the soil.
- The study examines the relationship between root-secreted acid phosphatases (APase) and root traits to understand how different B. napus genotypes acquire phosphorus under low availability.
- Key findings indicate that while seed yield correlates with total root-secreted APase activity, trade-offs exist in root traits influencing phosphorus acquisition strategies among different genotypes.

The occurrence of different degrees of phosphorus deficiency in the vast majority of cultivation regions worldwide is common. There is a pressing need within the cultivated industry to identify appropriate exogenous substances that can enhance the uptake of phosphorus and improve both the yield and quality of the taproots of . This study was conducted to investigate the fine root and taproot morphology, physiological characteristics, and secondary metabolite accumulation in response to the supply of varying concentrations of LaCl to , to determine the optimal concentration of LaCl that can effectively enhance the yield and quality of 's taproots, while also alleviating its reliance on soil phosphate fertilizer.
