SUMMARY The ATPase of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells has been examined. The evidence presented indicates the following: (a) ATP hydrolysis occurs at the cell surface, (b) the cell membrane goes into the microsomal fraction upon cell rupture and differ ential centrifugation, (c) ATP hydrolysis depends upon the nature and concentration of external activator ions, (d) hydrolysis is not limited to ATP; other nucleoside tn are attacked with equal vigor, and ADP and AMP are also hydrolyzed, (e) ATP hydrolysis appears to proceed in stepwise fashion via ADP and AMP to ade nine and inorganic phosphorus, (J) ATP, but not ADP or ITP hydrolysis, is stimulated by 92,4-dinitrophenol, but this effect is reversed by glucose.

The presence on the surface of a variety of phate by Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells was first cells of enzymes capable of hydrolyzing adenosine recorded by Acs et at.

The above studies suggest the possibility that Rothstein et al have presented evidence for the adenosine tniphosphate-hydrolyzing enzymes may localization of an adenosine tniphosphatase on the exist as an integral part of the lipoprotein matrix surface of yeast (920) and of intestinal epithelium of cell membranes. In the course of examining (921). Libet (13) and Abood et a!

This loss of ATPase activity in RNase-treated microsomal pellets has been re ported previously by the authors (81) and is probably due to the aggregation of microsomal vesicles following RNase treatment, which makes resuspension of the pellets very difficult.
