摘要
Inorganic pyrophosphatase ( PPase) catalyzes the hydrolysis of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) into phosphate ( Pi), which provides a thermodynamic driving force for important biosynthetic reactions. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans gene C47E12.4 encodes a PPase (PYP-1) which shows 54% amino acid identity with human PPase. PYP-1 exhibits specific enzyme activity and is mainly expressed in the intestinal and nervous system. A null mutant of pyp-1 reveals a developmental arrest at early larval stages and exhibits gross defects in intestinal morphology and function. The larval arrest phenotype was successfully rescued by reintroduction of the pyp-1 gene, suggesting that PYP-1 is required for larval development and intestinal function in C. elegans.
