Nucleotide recognition by CopA, a Cu+-transporting P-type ATPase.

ABSTRACT: Heavy metal pumps constitute a large subgroup in P-type ion-transporting ATPases. One of the outstanding features is that the nucleotide binding N-domain lacks residues critical for ATP binding in other well-studied P-type ATPases. Instead, they possess an HP-motif and a Gly-rich sequence in the N-domain, and their mutations impair ATP binding. Here, we describe 1.85 A resolution crystal structures of the P- and N-domains of CopA, an archaeal Cu(+)-transporting ATPase, with bound nucleotides. These crystal structures show that CopA recognises the adenine ring completely differently from other P-type ATPases. The crystal structure of the His462Gln mutant, in the HP-motif, a disease-causing mutation in human Cu(+)-ATPases, shows that the Gln side chain mimics the imidazole ring, but only partially, explaining the reduction in ATPase activity. These crystal structures lead us to propose a role of the His and a mechanism for removing Mg(2+) from ATP before phosphoryl transfer.

Delivery of the Cu-transporting ATPase ATP7B to the plasma membrane in Xenopus oocytes.

Project description:Cu-transporting ATPase ATP7B (Wilson disease protein) is essential for the maintenance of intracellular copper concentration. In hepatocytes, ATP7B is required for copper excretion, which is thought to occur via a transient delivery of the ATP7B- and copper-containing vesicles to the apical membrane. The currently available experimental systems do not allow analysis of ATP7B at the cell surface. Using epitope insertion, we identified an extracellular loop into which the HA-epitope can be introduced without inhibiting ATP7B activity. The HA-tagged ATP7B was expressed in Xenopus oocytes and the presence of ATP7B at the plasma membrane was demonstrated by electron microscopy, freeze-fracture experiments, and surface luminescence measurements in intact cells. Neither the deletion of the entire N-terminal copper-binding domain nor the inactivating mutation of catalytic Asp1027 affected delivery to the plasma membrane of oocytes. In contrast, surface targeting was decreased for the ATP7B variants with mutations in the ATP-binding site or the intra-membrane copper-binding site, suggesting that ligand-stabilized conformation(s) are important for ATP7B trafficking. The developed system provides significant advantages for studies that require access to both sides of ATP7B in the membrane.

Novel ATPase Cu(2+) transporting beta polypeptide mutations in Chinese families with Wilson's disease.

Project description:Wilson's disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder caused by mutations in the ATPase Cu(2+) transporting beta polypeptide gene (ATP7B). The detailed metabolism of copper-induced pathology in WD is still unknown. Gene mutations as well as the possible pathways involved in the ATP7B deficiency were documented. The ATP7B gene was analyzed for mutations in 18 Chinese Han families with WD by direct sequencing. Cell viability and apoptosis analysis of ATP7B small interfering RNA (siRNA)-treated human liver carcinoma (HepG2) cells were measured by 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and Hoechst 33342 staining. Finally, the expression of B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (BCL2), BCL2-associated X protein (BAX), sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1), and minichromosome maintenance protein 7 (MCM7) of ATP7B siRNA-treated cells were tested by real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) and Western blot analysis. Twenty different mutations including four novel mutations (p.Val145Phe, p.Glu388X, p.Thr498Ser and p.Gly837X) in the ATP7B gene were identified in our families. Haplotype analysis revealed that founder effects for four mutations (p.Arg778Leu, p.Pro992Leu, p.Ile1148Thr and p.Ala1295Val) existed in these families. Transfection of HepG2 cells with ATP7B siRNA resulted in decreased mRNA expression by 86.3%, 93.1% and 90.8%, and decreased protein levels by 58.5%, 85.5% and 82.1% at 24, 48 and 72 hours, respectively (All P<0.01). In vitro study revealed that the apoptotic, cell cycle and lipid metabolism pathway may be involved in the mechanism of WD. Our results revealed that the genetic cause of 18 Chinese families with WD and ATP7B deficiency-induce apoptosis may result from imbalance in cell cycle and lipid metabolism pathway.

Plastocyanin controls the stabilization of the thylakoid Cu-transporting P-type ATPase PAA2/HMA8 in response to low copper in Arabidopsis.

Project description:PAA2/HMA8 (P-type ATPase of Arabidopsis/Heavy-metal-associated 8) is a thylakoid located copper (Cu)-transporter in Arabidopsis thaliana. In tandem with PAA1/HMA6, which is located in the inner chloroplast envelope, it supplies Cu to plastocyanin (PC), an essential cuproenzyme of the photosynthetic machinery. We investigated whether the chloroplast Cu transporters are affected by Cu addition to the growth media. Immunoblots showed that PAA2 protein abundance decreased significantly and specifically when Cu in the media was increased, while PAA1 remained unaffected. The function of SPL7, the transcriptional regulator of Cu homeostasis, was not required for this regulation of PAA2 protein abundance and Cu addition did not affect PAA2 transcript levels, as determined by qRT-PCR. We used the translational inhibitor cycloheximide to analyze turnover and observed that the stability of the PAA2 protein was decreased in plants grown with elevated Cu. Interestingly, PAA2 protein abundance was significantly increased in paa1 mutants, in which the Cu content in the chloroplast is half of that of the wild-type, due to impaired Cu import into the organelle. In contrast in a pc2 insertion mutant, which has strongly reduced plastocyanin expression, the PAA2 protein levels were low regardless of Cu addition to the growth media. Together, these data indicate that plastid Cu levels control PAA2 stability and that plastocyanin, which is the target of PAA2 mediated Cu delivery in thylakoids, is a major determinant of this regulatory mechanism.

Mechanism of ATPase-mediated Cu+ export and delivery to periplasmic chaperones: the interaction of Escherichia coli CopA and CusF.

Project description:Cellular copper homeostasis requires transmembrane transport and compartmental trafficking while maintaining the cell essentially free of uncomplexed Cu(2+/+). In bacteria, soluble cytoplasmic and periplasmic chaperones bind and deliver Cu(+) to target transporters or metalloenzymes. Transmembrane Cu(+)-ATPases couple the hydrolysis of ATP to the efflux of cytoplasmic Cu(+). Cytosolic Cu(+) chaperones (CopZ) interact with a structural platform in Cu(+)-ATPases (CopA) and deliver copper into the ion permeation path. CusF is a periplasmic Cu(+) chaperone that supplies Cu(+) to the CusCBA system for efflux to the extracellular milieu. In this report, using Escherichia coli CopA and CusF, direct Cu(+) transfer from the ATPase to the periplasmic chaperone was observed. This required the specific interaction of the Cu(+)-bound form of CopA with apo-CusF for subsequent metal transfer upon ATP hydrolysis. As expected, the reverse Cu(+) transfer from CusF to CopA was not observed. Mutation of CopA extracellular loops or the electropositive surface of CusF led to a decrease in Cu(+) transfer efficiency. On the other hand, mutation of Met and Glu residues proposed to be part of the metal exit site in the ATPase yielded enzymes with lower turnover rates, although Cu(+) transfer was minimally affected. These results show how soluble chaperones obtain Cu(+) from transmembrane transporters. Furthermore, by explaining the movement of Cu(+) from the cytoplasmic pool to the extracellular milieu, these data support a mechanism by which cytoplasmic Cu(+) can be precisely directed to periplasmic targets via specific transporter-chaperone interactions.

Isolation and Characterization of Nanobodies against a Zinc-Transporting P-Type ATPase.

Project description:P-type ATPases form a large and ubiquitous superfamily of ion and lipid transporters that use ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to carry out their function. The IB subclass (PIB-ATPases) allows flux of heavy metals and are key players in metal detoxification, critical for human health, crops, and survival of pathogens. Nevertheless, PIB-ATPases remain poorly understood at a molecular level. In this study, nanobodies (Nbs) are selected against the zinc-transporting PIB-ATPase ZntA from Shigella sonnei (SsZntA), aiming at developing tools to assist the characterization of the structure and function of this class of transporters. We identify six different Nbs that bind detergent stabilized SsZntA. We further assess the effect of the Nbs on the catalytic function of SsZntA, and find that five nanobodies associate without affecting the function, while one nanobody significantly reduces the ATPase activity. This study paves the way for more refined mechanistical and structural studies of zinc-transporting PIB-ATPases.

Cu+-specific CopB transporter: Revising P1B-type ATPase classification.

Project description:The copper-transporting P1B-ATPases, which play a key role in cellular copper homeostasis, have been divided traditionally into two subfamilies, the P1B-1-ATPases or CopAs and the P1B-3-ATPases or CopBs. CopAs selectively export Cu+ whereas previous studies and bioinformatic analyses have suggested that CopBs are specific for Cu2+ export. Biochemical and spectroscopic characterization of Sphaerobacter thermophilus CopB (StCopB) show that, while it does bind Cu2+, the binding site is not the prototypical P1B-ATPase transmembrane site and does not involve sulfur coordination as proposed previously. Most important, StCopB exhibits metal-stimulated ATPase activity in response to Cu+, but not Cu2+, indicating that it is actually a Cu+ transporter. X-ray absorption spectroscopic studies indicate that Cu+ is coordinated by four sulfur ligands, likely derived from conserved cysteine and methionine residues. The histidine-rich N-terminal region of StCopB is required for maximal activity, but is inhibitory in the presence of divalent metal ions. Finally, reconsideration of the P1B-ATPase classification scheme suggests that the P1B-1- and P1B-3-ATPase subfamilies both comprise Cu+ transporters. These results are completely consistent with the known presence of only Cu+ within the reducing environment of the cytoplasm, which should eliminate the need for a Cu2+ P1B-ATPase.

Transmembrane Cu(I) P-type ATPase pumps are electrogenic uniporters.

Project description:Cu(i) P-type ATPases are transmembrane primary active ion pumps that catalyze the extrusion of copper ions across cellular membranes. Their activity is critical in controlling copper levels in all kingdoms of life. Biochemical and structural characterization established the structural framework by which Cu-pumps perform their function. However, the details of the overall mechanism of transport (uniporter vs. cotransporter) and electrogenicity still remain elusive. In this work, we developed a platform to reconstitute the model Cu(i)-pump from E. coli (EcCopA) in artificial lipid bilayer small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) to quantitatively characterize the metal substrate, putative counter-ions and charge translocation. By encapsulating in the liposome lumen fluorescence detector probes (CTAP-3, pyranine and oxonol VI) responsive to diverse stimuli (Cu(i), pH and membrane potential), we correlated substrate, secondary-ion translocation and charge movement events in EcCopA proteoliposomes. This platform centered on multiple fluorescence reporters allowed study of the mechanism and translocation kinetic parameters in real-time for wild-type EcCopA and inactive mutants. The maximal initial Cu(i) transport rate of 165 nmol Cu(i) mg-1 min-1 and KM, Cu(I) = 0.15 ± 0.07 μM was determined with this analysis. We reveal that Cu(i) pumps are primary-active uniporters and electrogenic. The Cu(i) translocation cycle does not require proton counter-transport resulting in electrogenic generation of transmembrane potential upon translocation of one Cu(i) per ATP hydrolysis cycle. Thus, mechanistic differences between Cu(i) pumps and other better characterized P-type ATPases are discussed. The platform opens the venue to study translocation events and mechanisms of transport in other transition metal P-type ATPase pumps.

CtpB is a plasma membrane copper (I) transporting P-type ATPase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The intracellular concentration of heavy-metal cations, such as copper, nickel, and zinc is pivotal for the mycobacterial response to the hostile environment inside macrophages. To date, copper transport mediated by P-type ATPases across the mycobacterial plasma membrane has not been sufficiently explored. RESULTS:In this work, the ATPase activity of the putative Mycobacterium tuberculosis P1B-type ATPase CtpB was associated with copper (I) transport from mycobacterial cells. Although CtpB heterologously expressed in M. smegmatis induced tolerance to toxic concentrations of Cu2+ and a metal preference for Cu+, the disruption of ctpB in M. tuberculosis cells did not promote impaired cell growth or heavy-metal accumulation in whole mutant cells in cultures under high doses of copper. In addition, the Cu+ ATPase activity of CtpB embedded in the plasma membrane showed features of high affinity/slow turnover ATPases, with enzymatic parameters KM 0.19?±?0.04 µM and Vmax 2.29?±?0.10 nmol/mg min. In contrast, the ctpB gene transcription was activated in cells under culture conditions that mimicked the hostile intraphagosomal environment, such as hypoxia, nitrosative and oxidative stress, but not under high doses of copper. CONCLUSIONS:The overall results suggest that M. tuberculosis CtpB is associated with Cu+ transport from mycobacterial cells possibly playing a role different from copper detoxification.

Mechanism of Cu+-transporting ATPases: soluble Cu+ chaperones directly transfer Cu+ to transmembrane transport sites.

Project description:As in other P-type ATPases, metal binding to transmembrane metal-binding sites (TM-MBS) in Cu(+)-ATPases is required for enzyme phosphorylation and subsequent transport. However, Cu(+) does not access Cu(+)-ATPases in a free (hydrated) form but is bound to a chaperone protein. Cu(+) transfer from Cu(+) chaperones to regulatory cytoplasmic metal-binding domains (MBDs) present in these ATPases has been described, but there is no evidence of a proposed subsequent Cu(+) movement from the MBDs to the TM-MBS. Alternatively, we postulate the parsimonious Cu(+) transfer by the chaperone directly to TM-MBS. Testing both models, the delivery of Cu(+) by Archaeoglobus fulgidus Cu(+) chaperone CopZ to the corresponding Cu(+)-ATPase, CopA, was studied. As expected, CopZ interacted with and delivered the metal to CopA MBDs. Cu(+)-loaded MBDs, acting as metal donors, were unable to activate CopA or a truncated CopA lacking MBDs. Conversely, Cu(+)-loaded CopZ activated the CopA ATPase and CopA constructs in which MBDs were rendered unable to bind Cu(+). Furthermore, under nonturnover conditions, CopZ transferred Cu(+) to the TM-MBS of a CopA lacking MBDs. These data are consistent with a model where MBDs serve a regulatory function without participating in metal transport and the chaperone delivers Cu(+) directly to transmembrane transport sites of Cu(+)-ATPases.

Metal Selectivity of a Cd-, Co-, and Zn-Transporting P<sub>1B</sub>-type ATPase.

Project description:The P1B-ATPases, a family of transmembrane metal transporters important for transition metal homeostasis in all organisms, are subdivided into classes based on sequence conservation and metal specificity. The multifunctional P1B-4-ATPase CzcP is part of the cobalt, zinc, and cadmium resistance system from the metal-tolerant, model organism Cupriavidus metallidurans. Previous work revealed the presence of an unusual soluble metal-binding domain (MBD) at the CzcP N-terminus, but the nature, extent, and selectivity of the transmembrane metal-binding site (MBS) of CzcP have not been resolved. Using homology modeling, we show that four wholly conserved amino acids from the transmembrane (TM) domain (Met254, Ser474, Cys476, and His807) are logical candidates for the TM MBS, which may communicate with the MBD via interactions with the first TM helix. Metal-binding analyses indicate that wild-type (WT) CzcP has three MBSs, and data on N-terminally truncated (ΔMBD) CzcP suggest the presence of a single TM MBS. Electronic absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic analyses of ΔMBD CzcP and variant proteins thereof provide insight into the details of Co2+ coordination by the TM MBS. These spectroscopic data, combined with in vitro functional studies of WT and variant CzcP proteins, show that the side chains of Met254, Cys476, and His807 contribute to Cd2+, Co2+, and Zn2+ binding and transport, whereas the side chain of Ser474 appears to play a minimal role. By comparison to other P1B-4-ATPases, we suggest that an evolutionarily adapted flexibility in the TM region likely afforded CzcP the ability to transport Cd2+ and Zn2+ in addition to Co2+.
