Highly enriched and viable surface epithelial cells (SEC) isolated from rabbit stomach were used to study the ouabain-sensitive Na/sup +/, K/sup +/-ATPase and K/sup +/-pNPPase activities before and after lysis of the intact SEC. The viability of the SEC was monitored by erythrosin B dye exclusion. The function of the Na/sup +/, K/sup +/-ATPase pump was evaluated by measuring the ouabain-sensitive /sup 86/Rb/sup +/ uptake, which reached a steady-state (40-50 nmoles/10/sup 6/ cells) within 15-20 min at 37/sup 0/C and maintained such a level for 60 min. Absence of any ouabain-insensitive H/sup +/, K/sup +/-ATPase activity in the lysed cells ensured negligible contamination from parietal cells. The intact SEC showed no Na/sup +/, K/sup +/-ATPase and insignificant Mg/sup +2/-ATPase activity. However, a significant K/sup +/-pNPPase (0.93 +/- .034 ..mu..moles/h.10/sup 6/ cells) responsive to oubain inhibition was demonstrated by localizing its activity to the cell surface exterior. The lysed SEC, on the other hand, demonstrated both the ouabain-sensitive Na/sup +/, K/sup +/-ATPase and K/sup +/-pNPPase activities and were 1.14 and 1.84 ..mu..moles/h.10/sup 6/ cells, respectively. The data demonstrated the ATP hydrolytic site of the Na/sup +/ K/sup +/ATPase to be facing the cytosol while the associated K/sup +/-pNPPase to be distributed equally across both sides of the plasma membrane. The data are consistent with a recent model of the monovalent cation transporting ATPase systems reported in gastric microsomes.
