The phospholipid-dependence of the (Na-++K-+)-dependent ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) (EC 3.6.1.3) and associated K-+-dependent phosphatase activity (EC 3.6.1.7) have been compared. Unlike the (Na-++K-+)-dependent ATPase activities, the K-+-dependent phosphatase activities of a number of different preparations were not closely correlated with their total phospholipid contents. After partial lipid depletion with a single extraction in Lubrol W the residual ATPase and phosphatase activities were correlated, but their magnitudes were quite different: on average only about 5% of the former remained compared with 50% of the latter. A similar differential effect on these activities was found after extraction with deoxycholate. In contrast with the ATPase, consistent restoration of the phosphatase activity of Lubrol-extracted enzymes by added exogenous phospholipids was not observed. We conclude that, although the K-+-dependent phosphatase may be lipid-dependent, the lipid requirement must be different from that of the complete ATPase system, and this difference should help investigations of their relationship.
