A previously undescribed catalytic action of lead ion on the nonenzymatic hydrolysis of nucleoside phosphates has been demonstrated. Lead ion (3.6 mM) hydrolyzed adenosine triphosphate (ATP) at pH 7.2 and 37°C. The presence of magnesium and imidazole was stimulatory. The rate appeared to increase with temperature from 25-60°C. The reaction was inhibited by ethylenediaminetetraacetate. Other nucleoside phosphates were hydrolyzed, some less rapidly than ATP. Adenosine triphosphate in the presence of a rate-limiting amount of lead acted as an inhibitor at high concentrations. With a rate-limiting concentration of ATP (0.72 mM), increasing concentrations of lead ion above 0.36 mM catalyzed a linear increase in ATP hydrolysis. It is suggested that this reaction may be a source of artifact in the lead salt method for the histochemical localization of nucleoside phosphatases.
