In an effort to determine whether the Na+-dependent P, transport system of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells exhibits specificity for H,PO, or HPO, :, P, fluxes were determined by measuring "P,-P, self-exchange. Three experimental approaches were employed. First, the effect of pH on steady-state P, transp

β¦ Synopsis
The effect of changes in extracellular pH (pH,) and intracellular pH (pHJ on Na+-dependent and Na+-independent inorganic phosphate (Pi) transport in Ehrlich cells was investigated. In the presence of Na+, acutely reducing pH, from 7.30 to 5.50 results first in a transient (-7 min) stimulation of Pi transport. The enhanced rate of transport is a saturable function of the extracellular [H+]; the Ks equals 2.3 x M (pH, 6.68). However, Pi transport is progressively inhibited as pHi falls below 6.50. The effect of pHi on Pi transport measured at various intracellular "a+] suggests that inhibition develops as a consequence of H + interaction with an intracellular Na+ site($ on the Na+dependent carrier. At pH, 7.4, about 15% of the steady state Pi flux persists in the absence of Na+. However, when pH, is reduced, transport is stimulated to the same extent and with the same time course and kinetic characteristics as in the presence of Na+. Thus, H + stimulated Pi transport does not require Na+, raising the possibility that the Na+-independent component is mediated by the anion (CI-) exchanger.

## Abstract Previous studies have shown that mediated Cl^β^ transport which occurs by at least two processes (Cl^β^βdependent cation cotransport and Cl^β^ selfβexchange) becomes progressively inhibited when extracellular Cl^β^ exceeds about 60 mM (Hoffmann et al., 1979). To account for this type of
The effect of extracellular Pi and arsenate on Pi-transport in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells has been studied. Pi-transport can be described by Michaelis-Menten kinetics; the maximal flux equal to 44 mmoles (kg cell water)-' hour-' and K m equal to 3.3 X 1 0 -4 M. Arsenate is a competitive inhibitor o

## Abstract The steady state transport and distribution of chloride between the intracellular and extracellular phases was investigated when the extracellular chloride concentration was varied by isosmotic replacement with nitrate, bromide and acetate. The results of these experiments show that chl
## Abstract Data from isotopic uptake experiments were used to measure calcium fluxes and compartment sizes in ascites tumor cells. The data were analyzed with two kinetic models, A and B. In 80% of the experiments model A, which is based on one exchangeable calcium compartment, was rejected in fav
