Figure 6. Poly P and PPi hydrolysis in dense granule fractions.
Dense granule fractions (DF) were homogenized in GluIM buffer and tested for PPX and PPase activities as described in the Materials and methods section. (A) Levels of poly P3 and poly P75+ after different times of incubation with the dense granule fraction. (B) Levels of PPi after different times of incubation with the dense granule fraction. Controls (Ctrl) are the substrates incubated in buffer, with no fraction added. Graphs show mean relative activities±S.E.M. for four experiments. Asterisks indicate significant differences (one-way ANOVA, P<0.05).
