Cross-linking experiments with the adenosine triphosphatase of sarcoplasmic reticulum.

ABSTRACT: The proteins of sarcoplasmic reticulum were cross-linked by rapid oxidation of thiol groups with I2. About two-thirds of the thiols were oxidized without any significant cross-linking, implying an extensive formation of intramolecular disulphide bonds. When the thiols were completely oxidized at room temperature a series of oligomers containing up to five molecules were observed, as well as large aggregates which were excluded from the gels. Complete oxidation at -10 degrees C left most of the ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) as monomer. Similar results were obtained when copper-phenanthroline complexes or dimethyl suberimidate were used as cross-linking reagents. We conclude that most of the cross-linked species arise by linking of randomly colliding ATPase molecules which are present in the membrane at very high concentration.

Polymorphism of sarcoplasmic-reticulum adenosine triphosphatase of rabbit skeletal muscle.

Project description:Antibody was raised in chickens against purified sarcoplasmic-reticulum Ca2+-activated ATPase (Ca2+-ATPase). The immunological relationship between the Ca2+-ATPase of fast-muscle and slow-muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum was investigated by a one-step and a two-step competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results show marked antigenic differences between the membrane-bound Ca2+-ATPase of the sarcoplasmic-reticulum vesicles from fast muscle and slow muscle, beside differences in the membrane content of ATPase protein.

The adenosine triphosphatase and calcium ion-transporting activities of the sarcoplasmic reticulum of developing musce.

Project description:1. The ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) specific activity and the total nitrogen content of the myofibrillar fraction per g. wet weight of rabbit longissimus dorsi muscle increased steadily during the late foetal stages and the first few weeks after birth. 2. The ATPase specific activity of the sarcoplasmic-reticular fraction isolated by a sucrose-density-gradient procedure rose to a sharp peak 8-10 days after birth and then declined to the adult value, which was about 25% of the maximum. 3. The peak in ATPase activity was a feature of the sarcoplasmic reticulum isolated from muscle, and the time at which it occurred in relation to birth was related to the degree of development and the activity pattern of the muscle. 4. The peak in ATPase activity of the sarcoplasmic reticulum occurred at an earlier age if newborn animals were made to exercise earlier than was normal. 5. The ;extra' ATPase associated with the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the ability to concentrate Ca(2+) increased in a similar manner over the period of development studied. 6. It is postulated that the Ca(2+)-transport system of the sarcoplasmic reticulum consists of two components, namely the ATPase and the system coupling this enzyme to Ca(2+) transport. During development the ATPase develops first and has almost reached maximum activity in the longissimus dorsi muscle of the rabbit after 8-10 days. Subsequently the activity of the coupling system rises rapidly, leading to an increase in the capacity and efficiency of Ca(2+) transport.

Primary structures of cysteine-containing peptides from the calcium ion-transporting adenosine triphosphatase of rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Project description:A preliminary investigation of the primary structure of the Ca(2+-transporting ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) protein of rabbit skeletal-muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum is reported. The preparation of derivatives of delipidated protein in a form suitable for sequence analysis is described. Tryptic peptides containing S-carboxymethylcysteine residues were isolated from the reduced carboxymethylated protein, and their sequences were partially determined. The results are consistent with mol.wt. about 105000 for the polypeptide, and the absence of extended repeated lengths of sequence. The distribution of tryptophan and cysteine residues between large, aggregated peptides and soluble tryptic peptides shows that these residues are concentrated in different regions of the primary structure. This observation agrees with other evidence that these residues are, on the whole, widely separated in the native protein. The details of the procedures used to isolate the peptides, and the evidence for the determination of their sequences, are given Supplementary Publication SUP 50085 (30 pages), which has been deposited at the British Library Lending Division, Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies can be obtained on the terms indicated in Biochem.J.

MicroRNA-275 targets sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ adenosine triphosphatase (SERCA) to control key functions in the mosquito gut.

Project description:The yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti is the major vector of arboviruses, causing numerous devastating human diseases, such as dengue and yellow fevers, Chikungunya and Zika. Female mosquitoes need vertebrate blood for egg development, and repeated cycles of blood feeding are tightly linked to pathogen transmission. The mosquito's posterior midgut (gut) is involved in blood digestion and also serves as an entry point for pathogens. Thus, the mosquito gut is an important tissue to investigate. The miRNA aae-miR-275 (miR-275) has been shown to be required for normal blood digestion in the female mosquito; however, the mechanism of its action has remained unknown. Here, we demonstrate that miR-275 directly targets and positively regulates sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ adenosine triphosphatase, which is implicated in active transport of Ca2+ from the cytosol to the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum. We utilized a combination of the gut-specific yeast transcription activator protein Gal4/upstream activating sequence (Gal4/UAS) system and miRNA Tough Decoy technology to deplete the endogenous level of miR-275 in guts of transgenic mosquitoes. This gut-specific reduction of miR-275 post blood meal decreased SERCA mRNA and protein levels of the digestive enzyme late trypsin. It also resulted in a significant reduction of gut microbiota. Moreover, the decrease of miR-275 and SERCA correlated with defects in the Notch signaling pathway and assembly of the gut actin cytoskeleton. The adverse phenotypes caused by miR-275 silencing were rescued by injections of miR-275 mimic. Thus, we have discovered that miR-275 directly targets SERCA, and the maintenance of its level is critical for multiple gut functions in mosquitoes.

Segmental motion and rotational diffusion of the Ca2+-translocating adenosine triphosphatase of sarcoplasmic reticulum, measured by time-resolved phosphorescence depolarization.

Project description:We studied the rotational mobility of the Ca2+ + Mg2+-activated ATPase in skeletal-muscle sarcoplasmic-reticulum vesicles, using time-resolved measurements of the depolarization of laser-flash-excited phosphorescence of the extrinsic triplet probe erythrosin. Our results are in general agreement with those of others [Bürkli & Cherry (1981) Biochemistry 20, 138-145] obtained by linear dichroism methods. In addition, we directly observed fast depolarization in the 1-5 microseconds time range that can be attributed to limited motion of part of the protein (segmental motion). Temperature-dependent changes in phosphorescence anisotropy indicated the onset of a conformational change in structure of the Ca2+ + Mg2+-activated ATPase at 11-13 degrees C. We also describe the synthesis of 5-iodoacetamidoerythrosin.

Xwalk: computing and visualizing distances in cross-linking experiments.

Project description:MotivationChemical cross-linking of proteins or protein complexes and the mass spectrometry-based localization of the cross-linked amino acids in peptide sequences is a powerful method for generating distance restraints on the substrate's topology.ResultsHere, we introduce the algorithm Xwalk for predicting and validating these cross-links on existing protein structures. Xwalk calculates and displays non-linear distances between chemically cross-linked amino acids on protein surfaces, while mimicking the flexibility and non-linearity of cross-linker molecules. It returns a 'solvent accessible surface distance', which corresponds to the length of the shortest path between two amino acids, where the path leads through solvent occupied space without penetrating the protein surface.AvailabilityXwalk is freely available as a web server or stand-alone JAVA application at http://www.xwalk.org.

The binding of nucleotides and bivalent cations to the calcium-and-magnesium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphatase from rabbit muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Project description:The binding of MgATP to purified Ca2+Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase from rabbit muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum was studied by using a flow-dialysis method. Phosphoryl-enzyme formation and catalytic activity were also measured, and all three processes demonstrated negative co-operativity, with half-saturation of all three parameters at a MgATP concentration of 40-50muM, and a Hill coefficient (h) of 0.8. The variation of the binding constant with with pH was measured and showed tighter binding of MgATP with increasing pH over the range 6.8-8.5. Binding parameters for ATP analogues were also measured. The binding of Ca2+ in the presence and absence of ATP analogues gave half saturation at a Ca2+ concentration of 1.2-1.3muM. Hill plots of Ca2+-binding data gave a slope of 0.8. These results show that the binding of MgATP and Ca2+ can occur in a random manner, with neither substrate influencing the affinity of the enzyme for the other.

Integrating Cross-Linking Experiments with Ab Initio Protein-Protein Docking.

Project description:Ab initio protein-protein docking algorithms often rely on experimental data to identify the most likely complex structure. We integrated protein-protein docking with the experimental data of chemical cross-linking followed by mass spectrometry. We tested our approach using 19 cases that resulted from an exhaustive search of the Protein Data Bank for protein complexes with cross-links identified in our experiments. We implemented cross-links as constraints based on Euclidean distance or void-volume distance. For most test cases, the rank of the top-scoring near-native prediction was improved by at least twofold compared with docking without the cross-link information, and the success rate for the top 5 predictions nearly tripled. Our results demonstrate the delicate balance between retaining correct predictions and eliminating false positives. Several test cases had multiple components with distinct interfaces, and we present an approach for assigning cross-links to the interfaces. Employing the symmetry information for these cases further improved the performance of complex structure prediction.

The primary structure of the calcium-transporting adenosine triphosphatase of rabbit skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum. Soluble tryptic peptides from the succinylated carboxymethylated protein.

Project description:The isolation and the determination of the amino-acid sequences of the soluble tryptic peptides, derived by cleavage at arginine residues, of the succinylated (3-carboxypropionylated) S-carboxymethylated adenosine triphosphatase protein of rabbit skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum are described. Treatment of the protein with succinic anhydride gave a derivative that was readily digested with trypsin, yielding two distinct sets of peptides. One set comprises large, relatively hydrophobic, peptides that are highly aggregated (or insoluble) in aqueous solution and that have been identified, by several criteria, with the portion of the protein embedded in the lipid bilayer in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The second set, which is described here, comprises peptides that have properties typical of those derived from soluble globular proteins and that constitute that part of the protein external to the lipid bilayer. The sequences of these soluble tryptic peptides contain 586 unique residues. Details of the isolation of the peptides and the determination of the sequences are contained in Supplementary Publication SUP 50102 (88 pages) which has been deposited with the British Library Lending Division, Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies can be obtained on the terms indicated in Biochem. J. (1978) 169, 5.
