Calcium binding and allosteric signaling mechanisms for the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca²+ ATPase.


ABSTRACT: The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca²? ATPase (SERCA) is a membrane-bound pump that utilizes ATP to drive calcium ions from the myocyte cytosol against the higher calcium concentration in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Conformational transitions associated with Ca²?-binding are important to its catalytic function. We have identified collective motions that partition SERCA crystallographic structures into multiple catalytically-distinct states using principal component analysis. Using Brownian dynamics simulations, we demonstrate the important contribution of surface-exposed, polar residues in the diffusional encounter of Ca²?. Molecular dynamics simulations indicate the role of Glu309 gating in binding Ca²?, as well as subsequent changes in the dynamics of SERCA's cytosolic domains. Together these data provide structural and dynamical insights into a multistep process involving Ca²? binding and catalytic transitions.
