ATP binding to the motor domain from an ABC transporter drives formation of a nucleotide sandwich dimer.

ABSTRACT: It has been proposed that the reaction cycle of ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters is driven by dimerization of their ABC motor domains upon binding ATP at their mutual interface. However, no such ATP sandwich complex has been observed for an ABC from an ABC transporter. In this paper, we report the crystal structure of a stable dimer formed by the E171Q mutant of the MJ0796 ABC, which is hydrolytically inactive due to mutation of the catalytic base. The structure shows a symmetrical dimer in which two ATP molecules are each sandwiched between the Walker A motif in one subunit and the LSGGQ signature motif in the other subunit. These results establish the stereochemical basis of the power stroke of ABC transporter pumps.

H662 is the linchpin of ATP hydrolysis in the nucleotide-binding domain of the ABC transporter HlyB.

Project description:The ABC transporter HlyB is a central element of the HlyA secretion machinery, a paradigm of Type I secretion. Here, we describe the crystal structure of the HlyB-NBD (nucleotide-binding domain) with H662 replaced by Ala in complex with ATP/Mg2+. The dimer shows a composite architecture, in which two intact ATP molecules are bound at the interface of the Walker A motif and the C-loop, provided by the two monomers. ATPase measurements confirm that H662 is essential for activity. Based on these data, we propose a model in which E631 and H662, highly conserved among ABC transporters, form a catalytic dyad. Here, H662 acts as a 'linchpin', holding together all required parts of a complicated network of interactions between ATP, water molecules, Mg2+, and amino acids both in cis and trans, necessary for intermonomer communication. Based on biochemical experiments, we discuss the hypothesis that substrate-assisted catalysis, rather than general base catalysis might operate in ABC-ATPases.

Dimer opening of the nucleotide binding domains of ABC transporters after ATP hydrolysis.

Project description:ABC transporters constitute one of the most abundant membrane transporter families. The most common feature shared in the family is the highly conserved nucleotide binding domains (NBDs) that drive the transport process through binding and hydrolysis of ATP. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the effect of ATP hydrolysis in the NBDs. Starting with the ATP-bound, closed dimer of MalK, four simulation systems with all possible combinations of ATP or ADP-P(i) bound to the two nucleotide binding sites are constructed and simulated with equilibrium molecular dynamics for approximately 70 ns each. The results suggest that the closed form of the NBD dimer can only be maintained with two bound ATP molecules; in other words, hydrolysis of one ATP can lead to the opening of the dimer interface of the NBD dimer. Furthermore, we observed that the opening is an immediate effect of hydrolysis of ATP into ADP and P(i) rather than the dissociation of hydrolysis products. In addition, the opening is mechanistically triggered by the dissociation of the LSGGQ motif from the bound nucleotide. A metastable ADP-P(i) bound conformational state is consistently observed before the dimer opening in all the simulation systems.

D-helix influences dimerization of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter associated with antigen processing 1 (TAP1) nucleotide-binding domain.

Project description:ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters form a large family of transmembrane importers and exporters. Using two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs), which form a canonical ATP-sandwich dimer at some point within the transport cycle, the transporters harness the energy from ATP binding and hydrolysis to drive substrate transport. However the structural elements that enable and tune the dimerization propensity of the NBDs have not been fully elucidated. Here we compared the biochemical properties of the NBDs of human and rat TAP1, a subunit of the heterodimeric transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP). The isolated human TAP1 NBD was monomeric in solution, in contrast to the previously observed ATP-mediated homodimerization of the isolated rat TAP1 NBD. Using a series of human-rat chimeric constructs, we identified the D-helix, an α-helix N-terminal to the conserved D-loop motif, as an important determinant of NBD dimerization. The ATPase activity of our panel of TAP1 NBD constructs largely correlated with dimerization ability, indicating that the observed dimerization uses the canonical ATP-sandwich interface. The N-terminus of the D-helix from one protomer interacts with the ATP-binding Walker A motif of the second protomer at the ATP-sandwich interface. However, our mutational analysis indicated that residues farther from the interface, within the second and third turn of the D-helix, also influence dimerization. Overall, our data suggest that although the D-helix sequence is not conserved in ABC transporters, its precise positioning within the NBD structure has a critical role in NBD dimerization.

Structural consequences of ATP hydrolysis on the ABC transporter NBD dimer: molecular dynamics studies of HlyB.

Project description:ABC transporters are a large and important family of membrane proteins involved in substrate transport across the membrane. The transported substrates are quite diverse, ranging from monatomic ions to large biomolecules. Consequently, some ABC transporters are involved in biomedically relevant situations, from genetic diseases to multidrug resistance. The most conserved domains in ABC transporters are the nucleotide binding domains (NBDs), which form a dimer responsible for the binding and hydrolysis of ATP, concomitantly with substrate translocation. To elucidate how ATP hydrolysis structurally affects the NBD dimer, and consequently the transporter, we performed a molecular dynamics study on the NBD dimer of the HlyB ABC exporter. We have observed a change in the contact surface between the monomers after hydrolysis, even though we have not seen dimer opening in any of the five 100 ns simulations. We have also identified specific regions that respond to ATP hydrolysis, in particular the X-loop motif of ABC exporters, which has been shown to be in contact with the coupling helices of the transmembrane domains (TMDs). We propose that this motif is an important part of the NBD-TMD communication in ABC exporters. Through nonequilibrium analysis, we have also identified gradual conformational changes within a short time scale after ATP hydrolysis.

A single power stroke by ATP binding drives substrate translocation in a heterodimeric ABC transporter.

Project description:ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters constitute the largest family of primary active transporters, responsible for many physiological processes and human maladies. However, the mechanism how chemical energy of ATP facilitates translocation of chemically diverse compounds across membranes is poorly understood. Here, we advance the quantitative mechanistic understanding of the heterodimeric ABC transporter TmrAB, a functional homolog of the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) by single-turnover analyses at single-liposome resolution. We reveal that a single conformational switch by ATP binding drives unidirectional substrate translocation. After this power stroke, ATP hydrolysis and phosphate release launch the return to the resting state, which facilitates nucleotide exchange and a new round of substrate binding and translocation. In contrast to hitherto existing steady-state assays, our single-turnover approach uncovers the power stroke in substrate translocation and the tight chemomechanical coupling in these molecular machines.

Molecular basis for differential nucleotide binding of the nucleotide-binding domain of ABC-transporter CvaB.

Project description:The cytoplasmic membrane protein CvaB, involved in colicin V secretion in Escherichia coli, belongs to the ABC-transporter family in which ATP hydrolysis is typically the driving force for substrate transport. However, our previous studies indicated that the nucleotide-binding domain of CvaB could also bind and hydrolyze GTP and, indeed, highly preferred GTP over ATP at low temperatures. In this study, we have examined the molecular basis of this preference. Sequence alignment and homology modeling of the CvaB nucleotide-binding domain predicted that the aromatic stacking region of CvaB (Y501DSQ loop) had a role in the differential binding of nucleotides, and Ser503 and Gln504 provided potential hydrogen bonds to GTP but not to ATP. Site-directed mutagenesis of the Y501DSQ loop, mutations S503A, Q504L, and double mutation S503A/Q504L, was made to test the predicted hydrogen bonds with GTP. The double mutation S503A/Q504L increased the affinity for ATP by 6-fold, whereas the affinity for GTP was reduced slightly: the ATP/GTP-binding ratio increased about 10-fold. The temperature effect assays on nucleotide binding and hydrolysis further indicated that the double mutant protein had largely eliminated the difference for substrates ATP and GTP, and behaved more similarly to the NBD of typical ABC-transporter HlyB. Therefore, we conclude that Ser503 and Gln504 in aromatic stacking region of CvaB block the ATP binding and are important for the GTP-binding preference.

Nucleotide-dependent conformational changes in HisP: molecular dynamics simulations of an ABC transporter nucleotide-binding domain.

Project description:ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters mediate the movement of molecules across cell membranes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In ABC transporters, solute translocation occurs after ATP is either bound or hydrolyzed at the intracellular nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs). Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been employed to study the interactions of nucleotide with NBD. The results of extended (approximately 20 ns) MD simulations of HisP (total simulation time approximately 80 ns), the NBD of the histidine transporter HisQMP2J from Salmonella typhimurium, are presented. Analysis of the MD trajectories reveals conformational changes within HisP that are dependent on the presence of ATP in the binding pocket of the protein, and are sensitive to the presence/absence of Mg ions bound to the ATP. These changes are predominantly confined to the alpha-helical subdomain of HisP. Specifically there is a rotation of three alpha-helices within the subdomain, and a movement of the signature sequence toward the bound nucleotide. In addition, there is considerable conformational flexibility in a conserved glutamine-containing loop, which is situated at the interface between the alpha-helical subdomain and the F1-like subdomain. These results support the mechanism for ATP-induced conformational transitions derived from the crystal structures of other NBDs.

Human ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family.

Project description:There exist four fundamentally different classes of membrane-bound transport proteins: ion channels; transporters; aquaporins; and ATP-powered pumps. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are an example of ATP-dependent pumps. ABC transporters are ubiquitous membrane-bound proteins, present in all prokaryotes, as well as plants, fungi, yeast and animals. These pumps can move substrates in (influx) or out (efflux) of cells. In mammals, ABC transporters are expressed predominantly in the liver, intestine, blood-brain barrier, blood-testis barrier, placenta and kidney. ABC proteins transport a number of endogenous substrates, including inorganic anions, metal ions, peptides, amino acids, sugars and a large number of hydrophobic compounds and metabolites across the plasma membrane, and also across intracellular membranes. The human genome contains 49 ABC genes, arranged in eight subfamilies and named via divergent evolution. That ABC genes are important is underscored by the fact that mutations in at least 11 of these genes are already known to cause severe inherited diseases (eg cystic fibrosis and X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy [X-ALD]). ABC transporters also participate in the movement of most drugs and their metabolites across cell surface and cellular organelle membranes; thus, defects in these genes can be important in terms of cancer therapy, pharmacokinetics and innumerable pharmacogenetic disorders.

Formation of a Chloride-conducting State in the Maltose ATP-binding Cassette (ABC) Transporter.

Project description:ATP-binding cassette transporters use an alternating access mechanism to move substrates across cellular membranes. This mode of transport ensures the selective passage of molecules while preserving membrane impermeability. The crystal structures of MalFGK2, inward- and outward-facing, show that the transporter is sealed against ions and small molecules. It has yet to be determined whether membrane impermeability is maintained when MalFGK2 cycles between these two conformations. Through the use of a mutant that resides in intermediate conformations close to the transition state, we demonstrate that not only is chloride conductance occurring, but also to a degree large enough to compromise cell viability. Introduction of mutations in the periplasmic gate lead to the formation of a channel that is quasi-permanently open. MalFGK2 must therefore stay away from these ion-conducting conformations to preserve the membrane barrier; otherwise, a few mutations that increase access to the ion-conducting states are enough to convert an ATP-binding cassette transporter into a channel.

Transmembrane Domain Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms Impair Expression and Transport Activity of ABC Transporter ABCG2.

Project description:PURPOSE:To study the function and expression of nine naturally occurring single-nucleotide polymorphisms (G406R, F431L, S441N, P480L, F489L, M515R, L525R, A528T and T542A) that are predicted to reside in the transmembrane regions of the ABC transporter ABCG2. METHODS:The transport activity of the variants was tested in inside-out membrane vesicles from Sf9 insect and human derived HEK293 cells overexpressing ABCG2. Lucifer Yellow and estrone sulfate were used as probe substrates of activity. The expression levels and cellular localization of the variants was compared to the wild-type ABCG2 by western blotting and immunofluorescence microscopy. RESULTS:All studied variants of ABCG2 displayed markedly decreased transport in both Sf9-ABCG2 and HEK293-ABCG2 vesicles. Impaired transport could be explained for some variants by altered expression levels and cellular localization. Moreover, the destructive effect on transport activity of variants G406R, P480L, M515R and T542A is, to our knowledge, reported for the first time. CONCLUSIONS:These results indicate that the transmembrane region of ABCG2 is sensitive to amino acid substitution and that patients harboring these ABCG2 variant forms could suffer from unexpected pharmacokinetic events of ABCG2 substrate drugs or have an increased risk for diseases such as gout where ABCG2 is implicated.
