Role of transmembrane segment M8 in the biogenesis and function of yeast plasma-membrane H(+)-ATPase.

ABSTRACT: Of the four transmembrane helices (M4, M5, M6, and M8) that pack together to form the ion-binding sites of P(2)-type ATPases, M8 has until now received the least attention. The present study has used alanine-scanning mutagenesis to map structure-function relationships throughout M8 of the yeast plasma-membrane H(+)-ATPase. Mutant forms of the ATPase were expressed in secretory vesicles and at the plasma membrane for measurements of ATP hydrolysis and ATP-dependent H(+) pumping. In secretory vesicles, Ala substitutions at a cluster of four positions near the extracytoplasmic end of M8 led to partial uncoupling of H(+) transport from ATP hydrolysis, while substitution of Ser-800 (close to the middle of M8) by Ala increased the apparent stoichiometry of H(+) transport. A similar increase has previously been reported following the substitution of Glu-803 by Gln (Petrov, V. et al., J. Biol. Chem. 275:15709-15718, 2000) at a position known to contribute directly to Ca(2+) binding in the Ca(2+)-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum (Toyoshima, C., et al., Nature 405: 647-655, 2000). Four other mutations in M8 interfered with H(+)-ATPase folding and trafficking to the plasma membrane; based on homology modeling, they occupy positions that appear important for the proper bundling of M8 with M5, M6, M7, and M10. Taken together, these results point to a key role for M8 in the biogenesis, stability, and physiological functioning of the H(+)-ATPase.

Project description:The crystal structures of the Ca(2+)- and H(+)-ATPases shed light into the membrane embedded domains involved in binding and ion translocation. Consistent with site-directed mutagenesis, these structures provided additional evidence that membrane-spanning segments M4, M5, M6 and M8 are the core through which cations are pumped. In the present study, we have used alanine/serine scanning mutagenesis to study the structure-function relationships within M6 (Leu-721-Pro-742) of the yeast plasma membrane ATPase. Of the 22 mutants expressed and analyzed in secretory vesicles, alanine substitutions at two well conserved residues (Asp-730 and Asp-739) led to a complete block in biogenesis; in the mammalian P-ATPases, residues corresponding to Asp-730 are part of the cation-binding domain. Two other mutants (V723A and I736A) displayed a dramatic 20-fold increase in the IC(50) for inorganic orthovanadate compared to the wild-type control, accompanied by a significant reduction in the K(m) for Mg-ATP, and an alkaline shift in the pH optimum for ATP hydrolysis. This behavior is apparently due to a shift in equilibrium from the E(2) conformation of the ATPase towards the E(1) conformation. By contrast, the most striking mutants lying toward the extracellular side in a helical structure (L721A, I722A, F724A, I725A, I727A and F728A) were expressed in secretory vesicles but had a severe reduction of ATPase activity. Moreover, all of these mutants but one (F728A) were unable to support yeast growth when the wild-type chromosomal PMA1 gene was replaced by the mutant allele. Surprisingly, in contrast to M8 where mutations S800A and E803Q (Guerra et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1768: 2383-2392, 2007) led to a dramatic increase in the apparent stoichiometry of H(+) transport, three substitutions (A726S, A732S and T733A) in M6 showed a reduction in the apparent coupling ratio. Taken together, these results suggest that M6 residues play an important role in protein stability and function, and probably are responsible for cation binding and stoichiometry of ion transport as suggested by homology modeling.
