Dodecamer rotor ring defines H+/ATP ratio for ATP synthesis of prokaryotic V-ATPase from Thermus thermophilus.

ABSTRACT: ATP synthesis by V-ATPase from the thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus driven by the acid-base transition was investigated. The rate of ATP synthesis increased in parallel with the increase in proton motive force (PMF) >110 mV, which is composed of a difference in proton concentration (DeltapH) and the electrical potential differences (DeltaPsi) across membranes. The optimum rate of synthesis reached 85 s(-1), and the H(+)/ATP ratio of 4.0 +/- 0.1 was obtained. ATP was synthesized at a considerable rate solely by DeltapH, indicating DeltaPsi was not absolutely required for synthesis. Consistent with the H(+)/ATP ratio, cryoelectron micrograph images of 2D crystals of the membrane-bound rotor ring of the V-ATPase at 7.0-A resolution showed the presence of 12 V(o)-c subunits, each composed of two transmembrane helices. These results indicate that symmetry mismatch between the rotor and catalytic domains is not obligatory for rotary ATPases/synthases.

ATP hydrolysis and synthesis of a rotary motor V-ATPase from Thermus thermophilus.

Project description:Vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) catalyzes ATP synthesis and hydrolysis coupled with proton translocation across membranes via a rotary motor mechanism. Here we report biochemical and biophysical catalytic properties of V-ATPase from Thermus thermophilus. ATP hydrolysis of V-ATPase was severely inhibited by entrapment of Mg-ADP in the catalytic site. In contrast, the enzyme was very active for ATP synthesis (approximately 70 s(-1)) with the K(m) values for ADP and phosphate being 4.7 +/- 0.5 and 460 +/- 30 microm, respectively. Single molecule observation showed V-ATPase rotated in a 120 degrees stepwise manner, and analysis of dwelling time allowed the binding rate constant k(on) for ATP to be estimated ( approximately 1.1 x 10(6) m(-1) s(-1)), which was much lower than the k(on) (= V(max)/K(m)) for ADP ( approximately 1.4 x 10(7) m(-1) s(-1)). The slower k(on)(ATP) than k(on)(ADP) and strong Mg-ADP inhibition may contribute to prevent wasteful consumption of ATP under in vivo conditions when the proton motive force collapses.

Structure of a central stalk subunit F of prokaryotic V-type ATPase/synthase from Thermus thermophilus.

Project description:The crystal structure of subunit F of vacuole-type ATPase/synthase (prokaryotic V-ATPase) was determined to of 2.2 A resolution. The subunit reveals unexpected structural similarity to the response regulator proteins that include the Escherichia coli chemotaxis response regulator CheY. The structure was successfully placed into the low-resolution EM structure of the prokaryotic holo-V-ATPase at a location indicated by the results of crosslinking experiments. The crystal structure, together with the single-molecule analysis using fluorescence resonance energy transfer, showed that the subunit F exhibits two conformations, a 'retracted' form in the absence and an 'extended' form in the presence of ATP. Our results postulated that the subunit F is a regulatory subunit in the V-ATPase.

Engineering rotor ring stoichiometries in the ATP synthase.

Project description:ATP synthase membrane rotors consist of a ring of c-subunits whose stoichiometry is constant for a given species but variable across different ones. We investigated the importance of c/c-subunit contacts by site-directed mutagenesis of a conserved stretch of glycines (GxGxGxGxG) in a bacterial c(11) ring. Structural and biochemical studies show a direct, specific influence on the c-subunit stoichiometry, revealing c(<11), c(12), c(13), c(14), and c(>14) rings. Molecular dynamics simulations rationalize this effect in terms of the energetics and geometry of the c-subunit interfaces. Quantitative data from a spectroscopic interaction study demonstrate that the complex assembly is independent of the c-ring size. Real-time ATP synthesis experiments in proteoliposomes show the mutant enzyme, harboring the larger c(12) instead of c(11), is functional at lower ion motive force. The high degree of compliance in the architecture of the ATP synthase rotor offers a rationale for the natural diversity of c-ring stoichiometries, which likely reflect adaptations to specific bioenergetic demands. These results provide the basis for bioengineering ATP synthases with customized ion-to-ATP ratios, by sequence modifications.

Crystal structure of A3B3 complex of V-ATPase from Thermus thermophilus.

Project description:Vacuolar-type ATPases (V-ATPases) exist in various cellular membranes of many organisms to regulate physiological processes by controlling the acidic environment. Here, we have determined the crystal structure of the A(3)B(3) subcomplex of V-ATPase at 2.8 A resolution. The overall construction of the A(3)B(3) subcomplex is significantly different from that of the alpha(3)beta(3) sub-domain in F(o)F(1)-ATP synthase, because of the presence of a protruding 'bulge' domain feature in the catalytic A subunits. The A(3)B(3) subcomplex structure provides the first molecular insight at the catalytic and non-catalytic interfaces, which was not possible in the structures of the separate subunits alone. Specifically, in the non-catalytic interface, the B subunit seems to be incapable of binding ATP, which is a marked difference from the situation indicated by the structure of the F(o)F(1)-ATP synthase. In the catalytic interface, our mutational analysis, on the basis of the A(3)B(3) structure, has highlighted the presence of a cluster composed of key hydrophobic residues, which are essential for ATP hydrolysis by V-ATPases.

Reconstitution of vacuolar-type rotary H+-ATPase/synthase from Thermus thermophilus.

Project description:Vacuolar-type rotary H(+)-ATPase/synthase (V(o)V(1)) from Thermus thermophilus, composed of nine subunits, A, B, D, F, C, E, G, I, and L, has been reconstituted from individually isolated V(1) (A(3)B(3)D(1)F(1)) and V(o) (C(1)E(2)G(2)I(1)L(12)) subcomplexes in vitro. A(3)B(3)D and A(3)B(3) also reconstituted with V(o), resulting in a holoenzyme-like complexes. However, A(3)B(3)D-V(o) and A(3)B(3)-V(o) did not show ATP synthesis and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-sensitive ATPase activity. The reconstitution process was monitored in real time by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between an acceptor dye attached to subunit F or D in V(1) or A(3)B(3)D and a donor dye attached to subunit C in V(o). The estimated dissociation constants K(d) for V(o)V(1) and A(3)B(3)D-V(o) were ∼0.3 and ∼1 nm at 25 °C, respectively. These results suggest that the A(3)B(3) domain tightly associated with the two EG peripheral stalks of V(o), even in the absence of the central shaft subunits. In addition, F subunit is essential for coupling of ATP hydrolysis and proton translocation and has a key role in the stability of whole complex. However, the contribution of the F subunit to the association of A(3)B(3) with V(o) is much lower than that of the EG peripheral stalks.

Cryo-EM studies of the rotary H+-ATPase/synthase from Thermus thermophilus.

Project description:Proton-translocating rotary ATPases couple proton influx across the membrane domain and ATP hydrolysis/synthesis in the soluble domain through rotation of the central rotor axis against the surrounding peripheral stator apparatus. It is a significant challenge to determine the structure of rotary ATPases due to their intrinsic conformational heterogeneity and instability. Recent progress of single particle analysis of protein complexes using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has enabled the determination of whole rotary ATPase structures and made it possible to classify different rotational states of the enzymes at a near atomic resolution. Three cryo-EM maps corresponding to different rotational states of the V/A type H+-rotary ATPase from a bacterium Thermus thermophilus provide insights into the rotation of the whole complex, which allow us to determine the movement of each subunit during rotation. In addition, this review describes methodological developments to determine higher resolution cryo-EM structures, such as specimen preparation, to improve the image contrast of membrane proteins.

The structure of the peripheral stalk of Thermus thermophilus H+-ATPase/synthase.

Project description:Proton-translocating ATPases are ubiquitous protein complexes that couple ATP catalysis with proton translocation via a rotary catalytic mechanism. The peripheral stalks are essential components that counteract torque generated from proton translocation during ATP synthesis or from ATP hydrolysis during proton pumping. Despite their essential role, the peripheral stalks are the least conserved component of the complexes, differing substantially between subtypes in composition and stoichiometry. We have determined the crystal structure of the peripheral stalk of the A-type ATPase/synthase from Thermus thermophilus consisting of subunits E and G. The structure contains a heterodimeric right-handed coiled coil, a protein fold never observed before. We have fitted this structure into the 23 A resolution EM density of the intact A-ATPase complex, revealing the precise location of the peripheral stalk and new implications for the function and assembly of proton-translocating ATPases.

Structure and mechanism of the PilF DNA transformation ATPase from Thermus thermophilus.

Project description:Many Gram-negative bacteria contain specific systems for uptake of foreign DNA, which play a critical role in the acquisition of antibiotic resistance. The TtPilF (PilF ATPase from Thermus thermophilus) is required for high transformation efficiency, but its mechanism of action is unknown. In the present study, we show that TtPilF is able to bind to both DNA and RNA. The structure of TtPilF was determined by cryoelectron microscopy in the presence and absence of the ATP analogue p[NH]ppA (adenosine 5'-[β,γ-imido]triphosphate), at 10 and 12 Å (1 Å=0.1 nm) resolutions respectively. It consists of two distinct N- and C-terminal regions, separated by a short stem-like structure. Binding of p[NH]ppA induces structural changes in the C-terminal domains, which are transmitted via the stem to the N-terminal domains. Molecular models were generated for the apoenzyme and p[NH]ppA-bound states in the C-terminal regions by docking of a model based on a crystal structure from a closely related enzyme. Analysis of DNA binding by electron microscopy, using gold labelling, localized the binding site to the N-terminal domains. The results suggest a model in which DNA uptake by TtPilF is powered by ATP hydrolysis, causing conformational changes in the C-terminal domains, which are transmitted via the stem to take up DNA into the cell.

Assembly of Spinach Chloroplast ATP Synthase Rotor Ring Protein-Lipid Complex.

Project description:Rotor ATPases are large multisubunit membrane protein complexes found in all kingdoms of life. The membrane parts of these ATPases include a ring-like assembly, so-called c-ring, consisting of several subunits c, plugged by a patch of phospholipids. In this report, we use a nature-inspired approach to model the assembly of the spinach (Spinacia oleracea) c14 ring protein-lipid complex, where partially assembled oligomers are pulled toward each other using a biasing potential. The resulting assemblies contain 23 to 26 encapsulated plug lipids, general position of which corresponds well to experimental maps. However, best fit to experimental data is achieved with 15 to 17 lipids inside the c-ring. In all of the simulations, the lipids from one leaflet (loop side of the c subunit) are ordered and static, whereas the lipids from the other leaflet are disordered and dynamic. Spontaneous permeation of water molecules toward Glu61 at the active site is also observed. The presented assembly approach is expected to be generalizable to other protein complexes with encapsulated lipid patches.

Cryo EM structure of intact rotary H<sup>+</sup>-ATPase/synthase from Thermus thermophilus.

Project description:Proton translocating rotary ATPases couple ATP hydrolysis/synthesis, which occurs in the soluble domain, with proton flow through the membrane domain via a rotation of the common central rotor complex against the surrounding peripheral stator apparatus. Here, we present a large data set of single particle cryo-electron micrograph images of the V/A type H+-rotary ATPase from the bacterium Thermus thermophilus, enabling the identification of three rotational states based on the orientation of the rotor subunit. Using masked refinement and classification with signal subtractions, we obtain homogeneous reconstructions for the whole complexes and soluble V1 domains. These reconstructions are of higher resolution than any EM map of intact rotary ATPase reported previously, providing a detailed molecular basis for how the rotary ATPase maintains structural integrity of the peripheral stator apparatus, and confirming the existence of a clear proton translocation path from both sides of the membrane.
