Sci Rep 2021; 11:1641. [PMID: 33452371 PMCID: PMC7810697 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-81061-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 12/31/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Sarcolipin (SLN), a single-spanning membrane protein, is a regulator of the sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA1a). Chemically synthesized SLN, palmitoylated or not (pSLN or SLN), and recombinant wild-type rabbit SERCA1a expressed in S. cerevisiae design experimental conditions that provide a deeper understanding of the functional role of SLN on the regulation of SERCA1a. Our data show that chemically synthesized SLN interacts with recombinant SERCA1a, with calcium-deprived E2 state as well as with calcium-bound E1 state. This interaction hampers the binding of calcium in agreement with published data. Unexpectedly, SLN has also an allosteric effect on SERCA1a transport activity by impairing the binding of ATP. Our results reveal that SLN significantly slows down the E2 to Ca2.E1 transition of SERCA1a while it affects neither phosphorylation nor dephosphorylation. Comparison with chemically synthesized SLN deprived of acylation demonstrates that palmitoylation is not necessary for either inhibition or association with SERCA1a. However, it has a small but statistically significant effect on SERCA1a phosphorylation when various ratios of SLN-SERCA1a or pSLN-SERCA1a are tested.

Abstract
MOF-808, a Zr(IV)-based metal-organic framework, has been proven to be a very effective heterogeneous catalyst for the hydrolysis of the peptide bond in a wide range of peptides and in hen egg white lysozyme protein. The kinetic experiments with a series of Gly-X dipeptides with varying nature of amino acid side chain have shown that MOF-808 exhibits selectivity depending on the size and chemical nature of the X side chain. Dipeptides with smaller or hydrophilic residues were hydrolyzed faster than those with bulky and hydrophobic residues that lack electron rich functionalities which could engage in favorable intermolecular interactions with the btc linkers. Detailed kinetic studies performed by 1H NMR spectroscopy revealed that the rate of glycylglycine (Gly-Gly) hydrolysis at pD 7.4 and 60 °C was 2.69 × 10-4 s-1 ( t1/2 = 0.72 h), which is more than 4 orders of magnitude faster compared to the uncatalyzed reaction. Importantly, MOF-808 can be recycled several times without significantly compromising the catalytic activity. A detailed quantum-chemical study combined with experimental data allowed to unravel the role of the {Zr6O8} core of MOF-808 in accelerating Gly-Gly hydrolysis. A mechanism for the hydrolysis of Gly-Gly by MOF-808 is proposed in which Gly-Gly binds to two Zr(IV) centers of the {Zr6O8} core via the oxygen atom of the amide group and the N-terminus. The activity of MOF-808 was also demonstrated toward the hydrolysis of hen egg white lysozyme, a protein consisting of 129 amino acids. Selective fragmentation of the protein was observed with 55% yield after 25 h under physiological pH.

Abstract
IR and Raman experiments of formamide (FA) solutions containing variable amounts of Fe(II) and Fe(III) salts were carried out. The νCO vibration is downshifted whereas the νCN mode is upshifted in the presence of the divalent ion. As the trivalent ion is added to the solvent, upshifts of both νCO and νCN vibrations are observed. These spectral patterns are related to the distinct FA forms that are stabilized by each ion. Fe(II) is surrounded by 6 ionic FA species while neutral ones coordinate to the trivalent ion with formation of [Fe(FA)3Cl](2+) and [Fe(FA)2(Cl)2](+). In higher salt compositions [FeCl4](-) is also identified in the spectra. Our vibrational results are very well corroborated by biological studies on the catalytic activity of the Fe(II)/Fe(III) pair in oxidative cleavage processes of polypeptides and proteins.

Abstract
Sarcolipin (SLN) is a regulatory peptide present in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) from skeletal muscle of animals. We find that native rabbit SLN is modified by a fatty acid anchor on Cys-9 with a palmitic acid in about 60% and, surprisingly, an oleic acid in the remaining 40%. SLN used for co-crystallization with SERCA1a (Winther, A. M., Bublitz, M., Karlsen, J. L., Moller, J. V., Hansen, J. B., Nissen, P., and Buch-Pedersen, M. J. (2013) Nature 495, 265-2691; Ref. 1) is also palmitoylated/oleoylated, but is not visible in crystal structures, probably due to disorder. Treatment with 1 m hydroxylamine for 1 h removes the fatty acids from a majority of the SLN pool. This treatment did not modify the SERCA1a affinity for Ca(2+) but increased the Ca(2+)-dependent ATPase activity of SR membranes indicating that the S-acylation of SLN or of other proteins is required for this effect on SERCA1a. Pig SLN is also fully palmitoylated/oleoylated on its Cys-9 residue, but in a reverse ratio of about 40/60. An alignment of 67 SLN sequences from the protein databases shows that 19 of them contain a cysteine and the rest a phenylalanine at position 9. Based on a cladogram, we postulate that the mutation from phenylalanine to cysteine in some species is the result of an evolutionary convergence. We suggest that, besides phosphorylation, S-acylation/deacylation also regulates SLN activity.

Abstract
We have identified 15 residues from the surface of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-pump ATPase, by mass spectrometry using diethylpyrocarbonate modification. The reactivity of 9 residues remained high under all the conditions. The reactivity of Lys-515 at the nucleotide site was severely inhibited by ATP, whereas that of Lys-158 in the A-domain decreased by one-half and increased by five-fold in the presence of Ca(2+) and MgF(4), respectively. These are well explained by solvent accessibility, pK(a) and nearby hydrophobicity of the reactive atom on the basis of the atomic structure. However, the reactivity of 4 residues near the interface among A-, N- and P-domain suggested larger conformational changes of these domains in membrane upon binding of Ca(2+) (Lys-436), ATP (Lys-158) and MgF(4) (His-5, -190, Lys-436).

Abstract
The sarcoplasmic (SERCA 1a) Ca2+-ATPase is a membrane protein abundantly present in skeletal muscles where it functions as an indispensable component of the excitation-contraction coupling, being at the expense of ATP hydrolysis involved in Ca2+/H+ exchange with a high thermodynamic efficiency across the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. The transporter serves as a prototype of a whole family of cation transporters, the P-type ATPases, which in addition to Ca2+ transporting proteins count Na+, K+-ATPase and H+, K+-, proton- and heavy metal transporting ATPases as prominent members. The ability in recent years to produce and analyze at atomic (2·3-3 Å) resolution 3D-crystals of Ca2+-transport intermediates of SERCA 1a has meant a breakthrough in our understanding of the structural aspects of the transport mechanism. We describe here the detailed construction of the ATPase in terms of one membraneous and three cytosolic domains held together by a central core that mediates coupling between Ca2+-transport and ATP hydrolysis. During turnover, the pump is present in two different conformational states, E1 and E2, with a preference for the binding of Ca2+ and H+, respectively. We discuss how phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated forms of these conformational states with cytosolic, occluded or luminally exposed cation-binding sites are able to convert the chemical energy derived from ATP hydrolysis into an electrochemical gradient of Ca2+ across the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. In conjunction with these basic reactions which serve as a structural framework for the transport function of other P-type ATPases as well, we also review the role of the lipid phase and the regulatory and thermodynamic aspects of the transport mechanism.

Abstract
Heme is not only just the binding site responsible for oxygen transport by hemoglobin, but it is also the prosthetic group of many different heme-containing enzymes, such as cytochromes P450, peroxidases, catalase, and several proteins involved in electron transfer. Heme plays a key role in the mechanism of action of many different antimalarial drugs. In degrading the host's hemoglobin, the malaria parasite Plasmodium and several other heme-eating parasites are faced with this redox-active metal complex. Heme is able to induce the toxic reductive cascade of molecular oxygen, which leads to the production of destructive hydroxyl radicals. Plasmodium detoxifies heme by converting it into a redox-inactive iron(III) polymer called hemozoin. Artemisinin, a natural drug containing a biologically important 1,2,4-trioxane structure, is now the first-line treatment for multidrug-resistant malaria. The peroxide moiety in artemisinin reacts in the presence of the flat, achiral iron(II)-heme; the mechanism does not reflect the classical "key and lock" paradigm for drugs. Instead, the reductive activation of the peroxide function generates a short-lived alkoxy radical, which quickly rearranges to a C-centered primary radical. This radical alkylates heme via an intramolecular process to produce covalent heme-drug adducts. The accumulation of non-polymerizable redox-active heme derivatives, a consequence of heme alkylation, is thought to be toxic for the parasite. The alkylation of heme by artemisinin has been demonstrated in malaria-infected mice, indicating that heme is acting as the trigger and target of artemisinin. The alkylation of heme by artemisinin is not limited to this natural compound: the mechanism is invoked for a large number of antimalarial semisynthetic derivatives. Synthetic trioxanes or trioxolanes also alkylate heme, and their alkylation ability correlates well with their antimalarial efficacy. In addition, several reports have demonstrated the cytotoxicity of artemisinin derivatives toward several tumor cell lines. Deoxy analogues were just one-fiftieth as active or less, showing the importance of the peroxide bridge. The involvement of heme in anticancer activity has thus also been proposed. The anticancer mechanism of endoperoxide-containing molecules, however, remains a challenging area, but one that offers promising rewards for research success. Although it is not a conventional biological target, heme is the master piece of the mechanism of action of peroxide-containing antimalarial drugs and could well serve as a target for future anticancer drugs.

Abstract
The antimalarial drugs artemisinins have been described as inhibiting Ca(2+)-ATPase activity of PfATP6 (Plasmodium falciparum ATP6) after expression in Xenopus oocytes. Mutation of an amino acid residue in mammalian SERCA1 (Glu(255)) to the equivalent one predicted in PfATP6 (Leu) was reported to induce sensitivity to artemisinin in the oocyte system. However, in the present experiments, we found that artemisinin did not inhibit mammalian SERCA1a E255L either when expressed in COS cells or after purification of the mutant expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Moreover, we found that PfATP6 after expression and purification from S. cerevisiae was insensitive to artemisinin and significantly less sensitive to thapsigargin and 2,5-di(tert-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone than rabbit SERCA1 but retained higher sensitivity to cyclopiazonic acid, another type of SERCA1 inhibitor. Although mammalian SERCA and purified PfATP6 appear to have different pharmacological profiles, their insensitivity to artemisinins suggests that the mechanism of action of this class of drugs on the calcium metabolism in the intact cell is complex and cannot be ascribed to direct inhibition of PfATP6. Furthermore, the successful purification of PfATP6 affords the opportunity to develop new antimalarials by screening for inhibitors against PfATP6.

Abstract
The ability of CheY, the response regulator of bacterial chemotaxis, to generate clockwise rotation is regulated by two covalent modifications - phosphorylation and acetylation. While the function and signal propagation of the former are widely understood, the mechanism and role of the latter are still obscure. To obtain information on the function of this acetylation, we non-enzymatically acetylated CheY to a level similar to that found in vivo, and examined its binding to its kinase CheA, its phosphatase CheZ and the switch protein FliM - its target at the flagellar switch complex. Acetylation repressed the binding to all three proteins. These results suggest that both phosphorylation and acetylation determine CheY's ability to bind to its target proteins, thus providing two levels of regulation, fast and slow respectively. The fast level is modulated by environmental signals (e.g. chemotactic and thermotactic stimuli). The slow one is regulated by the metabolic state of the cell and it determines, at each metabolic state, the fraction of CheY molecules that can participate in signalling.

Abstract
In this review we summarize mutagenesis work on the structure-function relationship of transmembrane segment M1 in the Na+,K+-ATPase and the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase. The original hypothesis that charged residues in the N-terminal part of M1 interact with the transported cations can be rejected. On the other hand hydrophobic residues in the middle part of M1 turned out to play crucial roles in Ca2+ interaction/occlusion in Ca2+-ATPase and K+ interaction/occlusion in Na+,K+-ATPase. Leu65 of the Ca2+-ATPase and Leu99 of the Na+,K+-ATPase, located at homologous positions in M1, function as gate-locking residues that restrict the mobility of the side chain of the cation binding/gating residue of transmembrane segment M4, Glu309/Glu329. A pivot formed between a pair of a glycine and a bulky residue in M1 and M3 seems critical to the opening of the extracytoplasmic gate in both the Ca2+-ATPase and the Na+,K+-ATPase.

Abstract
CheY, the excitatory response regulator in the chemotaxis system of Escherichia coli, can be modulated by two covalent modifications: phosphorylation and acetylation. Both modifications have been detected in vitro only. The role of CheY acetylation is still obscure, although it is known to be involved in chemotaxis and to occur in vitro by two mechanisms--acetyl-CoA synthetase-catalyzed transfer of acetyl groups from acetate to CheY and autocatalyzed transfer from AcCoA. Here, we succeeded in detecting CheY acetylation in vivo by three means--Western blotting with a specific anti-acetyl-lysine antibody, mass spectrometry, and radiolabeling with [(14)C]acetate in the presence of protein-synthesis inhibitor. Unexpectedly, the level and rate of CheY acetylation in vivo were much higher than that in vitro. Thus, before any treatment, 9-13% of the lysine residues were found acetylated, depending on the growth phase, meaning that, on average, essentially every CheY molecule was acetylated in vivo. This high level was mainly the outcome of autoacetylation. Addition of acetate caused an incremental increase in the acetylation level, in which acetyl-CoA synthetase was involved too. These findings may have far-reaching implications for the structure-function relationship of CheY.

Abstract
ATP binds to sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase both in a phosphorylating (catalytic) mode and in a nonphosphorylating (modulatory) mode, the latter leading to acceleration of phosphoenzyme turnover (Ca(2)E(1)P --> E(2)P and E(2)P --> E(2) reactions) and Ca(2+) binding (E(2) --> Ca(2)E(1)). In some of the Ca(2+)-ATPase crystal structures, Arg(678) and Glu(439) seem to be involved in the binding of nucleotide or an associated Mg(2+) ion. We have replaced Arg(678), Glu(439), and Gly(438) with alanine to examine their importance for the enzyme cycle and the modulatory effects of ATP and MgATP. The results point to the key role of Arg(678) in nucleotide binding and to the importance of interdomain bonds Glu(439)-Ser(186) and Arg(678)-Asp(203) in stabilizing the E(2)P and E(2) intermediates, respectively. Mutation of Arg(678) had conspicuous effects on ATP/MgATP binding to the E(1) form and ADP binding to Ca(2)E(1)P, as well as ATP/MgATP binding in modulatory modes to E(2)P and E(2), whereas the effects on ATP/MgATP acceleration of the Ca(2)E(1)P --> E(2)P transition were small, suggesting that the nucleotide that accelerates Ca(2)E(1)P --> E(2)P binds differently from that modulating the E(2)P --> E(2) and E(2) --> Ca(2)E(1) reactions. Mutation of Glu(439) hardly affected nucleotide binding to E(1), Ca(2)E(1)P, and E(2), but it led to disruption of the modulatory effect of ATP on E(2)P --> E(2) and acceleration of the latter reaction, indicating that ATP normally modulates E(2)P --> E(2) by interfering with the interaction between Glu(439) and Ser(186). Gly(438) seems to be important for this interaction as well as for nucleotide binding, probably because of its role in formation of the helix containing Glu(439) and Thr(441).

Abstract
Recently, a series of structure determinations has nearly completed a structural description of the transport cycle of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, especially those steps concerned with the phosphorylation by ATP and the dephosphorylation reaction. From these structures Ca(2+)-ATPase emerges as a molecular machine, where globular cytosolic domains and transmembrane helices work in concert like a mechanical pump, as can be vividly demonstrated in animated versions of the pump cycle. The structures show that both ATP phosphorylation and dephosphorylation at Asp351 take place as nucleophilic SN2 reactions, which are associated with Ca(2+) and H(+) occluded states, respectively. These transitory steps ensure efficient coupling between Ca(2+) transport and ATP hydrolysis.

Abstract
P-type ATPases form a large family of cation translocating ATPases. Recent progress in crystallography yielded several high-resolution structures of Ca(2+)-ATPase from sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum (SERCA) in various conformations. They could elucidate the conformational changes of the enzyme, which are necessary for the translocation of cations, or the mechanism that explains how the nucleotide binding is coupled to the cation transport. However, crystals of proteins are usually obtained only under conditions that significantly differ from the physiological ones and with ligands that are incompatible with the enzyme function, and both of these factors can inevitably influence the enzyme structure. Biochemical (such as mutagenesis, cleavage, and labeling) or spectroscopic experiments can yield only limited structural information, but this information could be considered relevant, because measurement can be performed under physiological conditions and with true ligands. However, interpretation of some biochemical or spectroscopic data could be difficult without precise knowledge of the structure. Thus, only a combination of both these approaches can extract the relevant information and identify artifacts. Briefly, there is good agreement between crystallographic and other experimental data concerning the overall shape of the molecule and the movement of cytoplasmic domains. On the contrary, the E1-AMPPCP crystallographic structure is, in details, in severe conflict with numerous spectroscopic experiments and probably does not represent the physiological state. Notably, the E1-ADP-AlF(4) structure is almost identical to the E1-AMPPCP, again suggesting that the structure is primarily determined by the crystal-growth conditions. The physiological relevance of the E2 and E2-P structures is also questionable, because the crystals were prepared in the presence of thapsigargin, which is known to be a very efficient inhibitor of SERCA. Thus, probably only crystals of E1-2Ca conformation could reflect some physiological state. Combination of biochemical, spectroscopic, and crystallographic data revealed amino acids that are responsible for the interaction with the nucleotide. High sequence homology of the P-type ATPases in the cytoplasmic domains enables prediction of the ATP-interacting amino acids also for other P-type ATPases.

Abstract
We examined possible defects of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 2b (SERCA2b) associated with its 51 mutations found in Darier disease (DD) pedigrees, i.e. most of the substitution and deletion mutations of residues reported so far. COS-1 cells were transfected with each of the mutant cDNAs, and the expression and function of the SERCA2b protein was analyzed with microsomes prepared from the cells and compared with those of the wild type. Fifteen mutants showed markedly reduced expression. Among the other 36, 29 mutants exhibited completely abolished or strongly inhibited Ca2+-ATPase activity, whereas the other seven possessed fairly high or normal ATPase activity. In four of the aforementioned seven mutants, Ca2+ transport activity was significantly reduced or almost completely lost, therefore uncoupled from ATP hydrolysis. The other three were exceptional cases as they were seemingly normal in protein expression and Ca2+ transport function, but were found to have abnormalities in the kinetic properties altered by the three mutations, which happened to be in the three DD pedigrees found by us previously (Sato, K., Yamasaki, K., Daiho, T., Miyauchi, Y., Takahashi, H., Ishida-Yamamoto, A., Nakamura, S., Iizuka, H., and Suzuki, H. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 35595-35603). Collectively, our results indicated that in most cases (48 of 51) DD mutations cause severe disruption of Ca2+ homeostasis by the defects in protein expression and/or transport function and hence DD, but even a slight disturbance of the homeostasis will result in the disease. Our results also provided further insight into the structure-function relationship of SERCAs and revealed critical regions and residues of the enzyme.

Abstract
We present crystal structures of the calcium-free E2 state of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ -ATPase, stabilized by the inhibitor thapsigargin and the ATP analog AMPPCP. The structures allow us to describe the ATP binding site in a modulatory mode uncoupled from the Asp351 phosphorylation site. The Glu439 side chain interacts with AMPPCP via an Mg2+ ion in accordance with previous Fe2+ -cleavage studies implicating this residue in the ATPase cycle and in magnesium binding. Functional data on Ca2+ mediated activation indicate that the crystallized state represents an initial stage of ATP modulated deprotonation of E2, preceding the binding of Ca2+ ions in the membrane from the cytoplasmic side. We propose a mechanism of Ca2+ activation of phosphorylation leading directly from the compact E2-ATP form to the Ca2E1-ATP state. In addition, a role of Glu439 in ATP modulation of other steps of the functional cycle is suggested.

Abstract
By analyzing, after expression in yeast and purification, the intrinsic fluorescence properties of point mutants of rabbit Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA1a) with alterations to amino acid residues in Ca(2+)-binding site I (E(771)), site II (E(309)), in both sites (D(800)), or in the nucleotide-binding domain (W(552)), we were able to follow the conformational changes associated with various steps in the ATPase catalytic cycle. Whereas Ca(2+) binding to purified wild-type (WT) ATPase in the absence of ATP leads to the rise in Trp fluorescence expected for the so-called E2 --> E1Ca(2) transition, the Ca(2+)-induced fluorescence rise is dramatically reduced for the E(309)Q mutant. As this purified E(309)Q mutant retains the ability to bind Ca(2+) at site I (but not at site II), we tentatively conclude that the protein reorganization induced by Ca(2+) binding at site II makes the major contribution to the overall Trp fluorescence changes observed upon Ca(2+) binding to both sites. Judging from the fluorescence response of W(552)F, similar to that of WT, these changes appear to be primarily due to membranous tryptophans, not to W(552). The same holds for the fluorescence rise observed upon phosphorylation from P(i) (the so-called E2 --> E2P transition). As for WT ATPase, Mg(2+) binding in the absence of Ca(2+) affects the fluorescence of the E(309)Q mutant, suggesting that this Mg(2+)-dependent fluorescence rise does not reflect binding of Mg(2+) to Ca(2+) sites; instead, Mg(2+) probably binds close to the catalytic site, or perhaps near transmembrane span M3, at a location recently revealed by Fe(2+)-catalyzed oxidative cleavage. Mutation of W(552) hardly affects ATP-induced fluorescence changes in the absence of Ca(2+), which are therefore mostly due to membranous Trp residues, demonstrating long-range communication between the nucleotide-binding domain and the membranous domain.

Abstract
One of the processes by which CheY, the excitatory response regulator of chemotaxis in Escherichia coli, can be activated to generate clockwise flagellar rotation is by acetyl-CoA synthetase (Acs)-mediated acetylation. Deletion of Acs results in defective chemotaxis, indicating the involvement of Acs-mediated acetylation in chemotaxis. To investigate whether Acs is the sole acetylating agent of CheY, we purified the latter from a delta acs mutant. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed that this protein is partially acetylated in spite of the absence of Acs, suggesting that CheY can be post-translationally acetylated in vivo by additional means. Using [14C]AcCoA in the absence of Acs, we demonstrated that one of these means is autoacetylation, with AcCoA serving as an acetyl donor and with a rate similar to that of Acs-mediated acetylation. Biochemical characterization of autoacetylated CheY and mass spectrometry analysis of its tryptic digests revealed that its acetylated lysine residues are those found in CheY acetylated by Acs, but the acetylation-level distribution among the acetylation sites was different. Like CheY acetylated by Acs, autoacetylated CheY could be deacetylated by Acs. Also similarly to the case of Acs-mediated acetylation, the phosphodonors of CheY, CheA and acetyl phosphate, each inhibited the autoacetylation of CheY, whereas the phosphatase of CheY, CheZ, enhanced it. A reduced AcCoA level interfered with chemotaxis to repellents, suggesting that CheY autoacetylation may be involved in chemotaxis of E. coli. Interestingly, this interference was restricted to repellent addition and was not observed with attractant removal, thus endorsing our earlier suggestion that the signaling pathway triggered by repellent addition is not identical to that triggered by attractant removal.

Abstract
This paper provides evidence for an interaction of D443 in the N domain of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase with a Mg(2+) ion. Wild-type, D443N/A/C and S445A mutants of porcine Na(+),K(+)-ATPase (alpha1beta1) have been expressed in Pichia pastoris. By comparison with wild-type, D443N reduces the turn-over rate by about 40%. Binding affinity of ATP, measured directly, was not affected by D443N, D443A, or D443C mutations. AMP-PNP-Fe(2+)-catalyzed oxidative cleavage of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase produces two characteristic fragments, at (708)VNDS (P domain) and near (440)VAGDA (N domain), respectively. In the D443N and D443A mutants, both cleavages are suppressed, indicating an interaction between the residues with AMP-PNP-Fe(2+) bound. Previous work suggested that with ATP-Fe(2+) bound the N and P domains come into proximity, both D710 and D443 making contact with a single Fe(2+) (or Mg(2+)) ion. However, the crystal structure of Ca(2+)-ATPase with bound AMP-PCP and Mg(2+) confirm the involvement of D703 (D710) but show that E439 (D443) is too far to make contact with the Mg(2+). By contrast, in the crystal structure with bound ADP, AlF(4), and Mg(2+), representing the E(1)-P conformation, two Mg(2+) ions were observed. Significantly, ADP-Fe(2+)-mediated oxidative cleavage of renal Na,K-ATPase produces the fragment near (440)VAGDA (N domain), while the cleavage at (708)VNDS (P domain) is almost completely absent. The results are explained economically by the hypothesis that ATP is bound with two Mg(2+) (Fe(2+)) ions, a "catalytic" Mg(2+) interacting with D710 via the gamma phosphate and a "structural" Mg(2+) interacting with D443 via the alpha and beta phosphates and a water molecule, respectively.

Abstract
This study describes specific intramolecular covalent cross-linking of the gamma to alpha and gamma to beta subunits of pig kidney Na,K-ATPase and rat gamma to alpha co-expressed in HeLa cells. For this purpose pig gammaa and gammab sequences were determined by cloning and mass spectrometry. Three bifunctional reagents were used: N-hydroxysuccinimidyl-4-azidosalicylic acid (NHS-ASA), disuccinimidyl tartrate (DST), and 1-ethyl-3-[3dimethylaminopropyl]carbodiimide (EDC). NHS-ASA induced alpha-gamma, DST induced alpha-gamma and beta-gamma, and EDC induced primarily beta-gamma cross-links. Specific proteolytic and Fe(2+)-catalyzed cleavages located NHS-ASA- and DST-induced alpha-gamma cross-links on the cytoplasmic surface of the alpha subunit, downstream of His(283) and upstream of Val(440). Additional considerations indicated that the DST-induced and NHS-ASA-induced cross-links involve either Lys(347) or Lys(352) in the S4 stalk segment. Mutational analysis of the rat gamma subunit expressed in HeLa cells showed that the DST-induced cross-link involves Lys(55) and Lys(56) in the cytoplasmic segment. DST and EDC induced two beta-gamma cross-links, a major one at the extracellular surface within the segment Gly(143)-Ser(302) of the beta subunit and another within Ala(1)-Arg(142). Based on the cross-linking and other data on alpha-gamma proximities, we modeled interactions of the transmembrane alpha-helix and an unstructured cytoplasmic segment SKRLRCGGKKHR of gamma with a homology model of the pig alpha1 subunit. According to the model, the transmembrane segment fits in a groove between M2, M6, and M9, and the cytoplasmic segment interacts with loops L6/7 and L8/9 and stalk S5.

Abstract
Na+,K+-ATPase (porcine alpha/his10-beta) has been expressed in Pichia Pastoris, solubilized in n-dodecyl-beta-maltoside and purified to 70-80% purity by nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid chromatography combined with size exclusion chromatography. The recombinant protein is inactive if the purification is done without added phospholipids. The neutral phospholipid, dioleoylphosphatidylcholine, preserves Na+,K+-ATPase activity of protein prepared in a Na+-containing medium, but activity is lost in a K+-containing medium. By contrast, the acid phospholipid, dioleoylphosphatidylserine, preserves activity in either Na+- or K+-containing media. In optimal conditions activity is preserved for about 2 weeks at 0 degrees C. Both recombinant Na+,K+-ATPase and native pig kidney Na+,K+-ATPase, dissolved in n-dodecyl-beta-maltoside, appear to be mainly stable monomers (alpha/beta) as judged by size exclusion chromatography and sedimentation velocity. Na+,K+-ATPase activities at 37 degrees C of the size exclusion chromatography-purified recombinant and renal Na+,K+-ATPase are comparable but are lower than that of membrane-bound renal Na+,K+-ATPase. The beta subunit is expressed in Pichia Pastoris as two lightly glycosylated polypeptides and is quantitatively deglycosylated by endoglycosidase-H at 0 degrees C, to a single polypeptide. Deglycosylation inactivates Na+,K+-ATPase prepared with dioleoylphosphatidylcholine, whereas dioleoylphosphatidylserine protects after deglycosylation, and Na+,K+-ATPase activity is preserved. This work demonstrates an essential role of phospholipid interactions with Na+,K+-ATPase, including a direct interaction of dioleoylphosphatidylserine, and possibly another interaction of either the neutral or acid phospholipid. Additional lipid effects are likely. A role for the beta subunit in stabilizing conformations of Na+,K+-ATPase (or H+,K+-ATPase) with occluded K+ ions can also be inferred. Purified recombinant Na+,K+-ATPase could become an important experimental tool for various purposes, including, hopefully, structural work.

Abstract
Crystalline forms of detergent-solubilized sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, obtained in the presence of either a substrate analog, AMPPCP, or a transition state complex, ADP.fluoroaluminate, were recently described to share the same general architecture despite the fact that, when studied in a test tube, these forms show different functional properties. Here, we show that the differences in the properties of the E1.AMPPCP and the E1.ADP.AlFx membraneous (or solubilized) forms are much less pronounced when these properties are examined in the presence of 10 mM Ca2+ (the concentration prevailing in the crystallization media) than when they are examined in the presence of the few micromolar of Ca2+ known to be sufficient to saturate the transport sites. This concerns various properties, including ATPase susceptibility to proteolytic cleavage by proteinase K, ATPase reactivity toward SH-directed Ellman's reagent, ATPase intrinsic fluorescence properties (here described for the E1.ADP.AlFx complex for the first time), and also the rates of 45Ca2+-40Ca2+ exchange at site "II." These results solve the above paradox at least partially and suggest that the presence of a previously unrecognized Ca2+ ion in the E1.AMPPCP crystals should be re-investigated. A contrario, they emphasize the fact that the average conformation of the E1.AMPPCP complex under usual conditions in the test tube differs from that found in the crystalline form. The extended conformation of nucleotide revealed by the E1.AMPPCP crystalline form might be only indicative of the requirements for further processing of the complex, toward the transition state leading to phosphorylation and Ca2+ occlusion.

Abstract
K+ plays an important role for the function of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+ -ATPase (SERCA), but its binding site within the molecule has remained unidentified. We have located the binding site for a K+ ion in the P-domain by means of x-ray crystallography using crystals prepared in the presence of the K+ congener Rb+. Backbone carbonyls from the loop containing residues 711-715 together with the side chain of Glu732 define the K+/Rb+ site in the Ca2+ -ATPase conformation with bound Ca2+, ADP, and AlF4-. Functional analysis of Ca2+ -ATPase mutants with alterations to Glu732 shows that this site is indeed important for the stimulatory effect of K+ on the dephosphorylation rate. Comparison with the Ca2+ -ATPase in a dephosphorylated E2 conformation suggests that the K+ site is involved in the correct movement and positioning of the A-domain during translocation and dephosphorylation.
