The distribution and properties of cytochemically demonstrable phosphatases in the near-term guinea-pig placenta were examined using a strontium capture technique for sodium- and potassium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Na+, K+-ATPase) and a lead capture technique for magnesium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Mg2+-ATPase). Localizations with the strontium technique in the presence of an alkaline phosphatase inhibitor were mainly on the syncytiotrophoblast plasma membranes; the reaction was potassium-dependent and ouabain-sensitive. Reaction product using the lead capture method was found on both trophoblast and endothelial cell plasma membranes and was independent of magnesium and insensitive to p-hydroxymercuribenzoate (POHMB), an inhibitor of membrane ATPases. However, a very large proportion of this reaction could be blocked by an alkaline phosphatase inhibitor. It is concluded that the strontium capture technique gave a reliable localization for Na+, K+-ATPase. However, the lead capture method mainly demonstrated alkaline phosphatase, and does not offer a useful approach to specific ATPase studies in this particular system.

The effects of various divalent cations on the Ca2+ uptake by microsomes from bovine aortic smooth muscle were studied. High concentrations (1 mM) of Co2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, and Ni2+ inhibited neither the Ca2+ uptake by the microsomes nor the formation of the phosphorylated intermediate (E approximately P) of the Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase of the microsomes. The cadmium ion, however, inhibited both the Ca2+ uptake and the E approximately P formation by the microsomes. Dixon plot analysis indicated Cd2+ inhibited (Ki = 135 microM) the Ca2+ dependent E approximately P formation in a non-competitive manner. The inhibitory effect of Cd2+ was lessened by cysteine or dithiothreitol. The strontium ion inhibited the Ca2+ uptake competitively, while the E approximately P formation increased on the addition of Sr2+ at low Ca2+ concentrations. At a low Ca2+ concentration (1 microM), Sr2+ was taken up by the aortic microsomes in the presence of 1 mM ATP. It is thus suggested that Sr2+ replaces Ca2+ at the Ca2+ binding site on the ATPase.
