Glycolysis occurs within a peroxisome-like organelle named the glycosome. Previous work from our laboratory reported the presence of significant amounts of inorganic polyphosphate (polyP), a polymer of three to hundreds of orthophosphate units, in the glycosomes and nucleoli of T. brucei. In this work, we identified and characterized the activity of two Nudix hydrolases (NHs), T. brucei Nudix hydrolase (TbNH) 2 and TbNH4, one located in the glycosomes and the other in the cytosol and nucleus, respectively, which can degrade polyP. We found that TbNH2 is an exopolyphosphatase with higher activity on short chain polyP, while TbNH4 is an endo- and exopolyphosphatase that has similar activity on polyP of various chain sizes. Both enzymes have higher activity at around pH 8.0. We also found that only TbNH2 can dephosphorylate ATP and ADP but with lower affinity than for polyP. Our results suggest that NHs can participate in polyP homeostasis and therefore may help control polyP levels in glycosomes, cytosol and nuclei of T. brucei.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/bsr20190894","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,1]],"date-time":"2019-05-01T14:25:14Z","timestamp":1556720714000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["NUDIX hydrolases with inorganic polyphosphate exo- and endopolyphosphatase activities in the glycosome, cytosol and nucleus of\n                    <i>Trypanosoma brucei<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Ciro\u00a0D.","family":"Cordeiro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA"},{"name":"Department of Cellular Biology, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael\u00a0A.","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brian","family":"Windle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4229-8784","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roberto","family":"Docampo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA"},{"name":"Department of Cellular Biology, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"288","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021111619381685700_B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"605","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.biochem.77.083007.093039","article-title":"Inorganic polyphosphate: essential for growth and survival","volume":"78","author":"Rao","year":"2009","journal-title":"Annu.
