Project description:On reconstitution of the Ca(2+)-ATPase of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum into bilayers of dimyristoleoylphosphatidylcholine [di(C14:1)PC] or dinervonylphosphatidylcholine [di(C24:1)PC] the stoichiometry of Ca2+ binding changes from the usual two Ca2+ ions bound per ATPase molecule to one Ca2+ ion bound per ATPase molecule. For the ATPase in di(C24:1)PC, removal of Ca2+ from the Ca(2+)-bound ATPase results in a decrease in tryptophan fluorescence intensity, as observed for the ATPase in dioleoylphosphatidylcholine [di(C18:1)PC]. For the ATPase in di(C14:1)PC removal of Ca2+ results in no change in tryptophan fluorescence intensity. In the presence of Mg2+, removal of Ca2+ from the ATPase in di(C18:1)PC or di(C24:1)PC results in a decrease in tryptophan fluorescence intensity, but for the ATPase in di(C14:1)PC this results in an increase in intensity. Fluorescence of the ATPase labelled with 4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD) is the same for the ATPase in di(C18:1)PC or di(C24:1)PC, but is markedly greater in di(C14:1)PC, consistent with a 4-fold increase in the E1/E2 equilibrium constant. Addition of Mg2+ to NBD-labelled ATPase in di(C18:1) PC or di(C24:1)PC results in an increase in NBD fluorescence, attributed to stronger binding of Mg2+ to the E1 than to the E2 conformation; addition of Mg2+ had no effect on the fluorescence of the NBD-labelled ATPase in di(C14:1)PC. In the absence of Ca2+, Mg2+ increased the tryptophan fluorescence of the ATPase in di(C14:1)PC, di(C18:3)PC or di(C24:1)PC, with the same binding-constant for Mg2+ in all three lipids. Addition of Mg2+ to the ATPase labelled with 4-(bromomethyl)-6,7-dimethoxycoumarin resulted in a decrease in fluorescence in di(C18:1)PC or di(C24:1)PC but had no effect in di(C14:1)PC. These effects are interpreted in terms of binding of Ca2+ at a single outer Ca2+ binding-site on the ATPase in di(C14:1)PC and di(C24:1)PC, in a conformation in which the inner site is occluded [in di(C14:1)PC] or modified in its affinity for Ca2+ [in di(C24:1)PC]. Thapsigargin binds to the ATPase, reducing its affinity for Ca2+ both in di(C14:1)PC and di(C24:1)PC.

Project description:The kinetics of the Ca(2+)-ATPase purified from sarcoplasmic reticulum have been studied after reconstitution into bilayers of dimyristoleoylphosphatidylcholine [di(C14:1)PC], dioleoylphosphatidylcholine[di(C18:1)PC] and dinervonylphosphatidylcholine [di(C24:1)PC]. In di(C24:1)PC the rate of phosphorylation of the ATPase by ATP was comparable with that in di(C18:1)PC (about 70 s-1), but in di(C14:1)PC the rate was much lower (21 s-1). Fluorescence responses of the ATPase suggest changes in the phosphoryl-transfer step rather than in the preceding conformational change E1Ca2ATP<-->E1'Ca2ATP. The rate of dephosphorylation of the phosphorylated ATPase was found to decrease in the order di(C24:1)PC < di(C14:1)PC < di(C18:1)PC. For the ATPase in di(C24:1)PC the rate of dephosphorylation (3.3 s-1) was slow enough to be the rate-limiting step for ATP hydrolysis; in di(C14:1)PC, it is suggested that both phosphorylation and dephosphorylation contribute to rate limitation. Phosphorylation of the ATPase in di(C24:1)PC by Pi was normal, but no phosphoenzyme could be detected in di(C14:1)PC. The rate of the Ca(2+)-transport step was normal in di(C24:1)PC, suggesting that the single Ca2+ ion bound to the ATPase in di(C24:1)PC could be transported.

Project description:Spermine and polyarginine have been shown to increase the rate of dissociation of Ca2+ from the Ca(2+)-ATPase of skeletal-muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. They also decrease the affinity of the ATPase for Mg2+ as detected by changes in the fluorescence intensity of the ATPase labelled with 4-(bromomethyl)-6,7-dimethoxycoumarin (DMC). Polyarginine itself also decreases the fluorescence intensity of DMC-labelled ATPase. These results are consistent with binding of spermine and polyarginine to a gating site controlling the rate of access of Ca2+ to its binding sites on the ATPase. A basic peptide PLN-(1-25) corresponding to residues 1-25 of phospholamban had no effect on the rate of dissociation of Ca2+ or on the fluorescence of DMC-labelled ATPase. Spermine, polyarginine and PLN-(1-25) all increased the equilibrium constant E1/E2, and spermine and polyarginine increased the rate of Ca2+ binding to the ATPase, consistent with an increase in the rate of the E2-->E1 transition. Spermine displaced Tb3+ and Ruthenium Red from the ATPase, consistent with binding in the stalk region of the ATPase. Polyarginine and PLN-(1-25), however, had no effect on Tb3+ or Ruthenium Red binding, suggesting a greater specificity in binding basic peptides to the ATPase than spermine.

Project description:The mechanism of ATP modulation of E2P dephosphorylation of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase wild type and mutant forms was examined in nucleotide binding studies of states analogous to the various intermediates of the dephosphorylation reaction, obtained by binding of metal fluorides, vanadate, or thapsigargin. Wild type Ca(2+)-ATPase displays an ATP affinity of 4 ?M for the E2P ground state analog, 1 ?M for the E2P transition state and product state analogs, and 11 ?M for the E2 dephosphoenzyme. Hence, ATP binding stabilizes the transition and product states relative to the ground state, thereby explaining the accelerating effect of ATP on dephosphorylation. Replacement of Phe(487) (N-domain) with serine, Arg(560) (N-domain) with leucine, or Arg(174) (A-domain) with alanine or glutamate reduces ATP affinity in all E2/E2P intermediate states. Alanine substitution of Ile(188) (A-domain) increases the ATP affinity, although ATP acceleration of dephosphorylation is disrupted, thus indicating that the critical role of Ile(188) in ATP modulation is mechanistically based rather than being associated with the binding of nucleotide. Mutants with alanine replacement of Lys(205) (A-domain) or Glu(439) (N-domain) exhibit an anomalous inhibition by ATP of E2P dephosphorylation, due to ATP binding increasing the stability of the E2P ground state relative to the transition state. The ATP affinity of Ca(2)E2P, stabilized by inserting four glycines in the A-M1 linker, is similar to that of the E2P ground state, but the Ca(2+)-free E1 state of this mutant exhibits 3 orders of magnitude reduction of ATP affinity.

Project description:P5 ATPases constitute the least studied group of P-type ATPases, an essential family of ion pumps in all kingdoms of life. Although P5 ATPases are present in every eukaryotic genome analyzed so far, they have remained orphan pumps, and their biochemical function is obscure. We show that a P5A ATPase from barley, HvP5A1, locates to the endoplasmic reticulum and is able to rescue knock-out mutants of P5A genes in both Arabidopsis thaliana and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. HvP5A1 spontaneously forms a phosphorylated reaction cycle intermediate at the catalytic residue Asp-488, whereas, among all plant nutrients tested, only Ca(2+) triggers dephosphorylation. Remarkably, Ca(2+)-induced dephosphorylation occurs at high apparent [Ca(2+)] (K(i) = 0.25 mM) and is independent of the phosphatase motif of the pump and the putative binding site for transported ligands located in M4. Taken together, our results rule out that Ca(2+) is a transported substrate but indicate the presence of a cytosolic low affinity Ca(2+)-binding site, which is conserved among P-type pumps and could be involved in pump regulation. Our work constitutes the first characterization of a P5 ATPase phosphoenzyme and points to Ca(2+) as a modifier of its function.

Project description:Equilibrium and kinetic fluorescence methods have been used to characterize the interactions between K+ and the Ca(2+)-ATPase of skeletal-muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. K+ shifts the E2-E1 equilibrium of the ATPase towards E1 and increases the rate of Ca2+ binding to the ATPase, as detected by changes in tryptophan fluorescence intensity, suggesting that K+ increases the rate of the E2-E1 transition. The data are consistent with binding of K+ at the inner Ca(2+)-binding site on the ATPase in competition with H+ and Mg2+, with a higher affinity in the E1 than in the E2 conformation. K+ has no effect on the affinity for Mg2+, as detected by changes in tryptophan fluorescence intensity; since it has been proposed that the changes in tryptophan fluorescence follow from binding to Mg2+ at the outer Ca(2+)-binding site, this suggests that K+ is unable to bind at the outer Ca(2+)-binding site. K+ increases the rate of dissociation of Ca2+ from the Ca(2+)-bound ATPase and reduces the effect of Mg2+ on the fluorescence intensity of the ATPase labelled with 4-(bromomethyl)-6,7-dimethoxycoumarin. It is suggested that these effects of K+ are the result of binding at a 'gating' site on the ATPase, in competition with binding of H+. Binding of K+ at the inner Ca(2+)-binding site and at the gating site account for the observed effects of K+ on the affinity of the ATPase for Ca2+.

Project description:Equilibrium fluorescence methods have been used to establish a model for Ca2+ binding to the (Ca(2+)-Mg2+)-ATPase of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum and to define the effects of H+ and Mg2+ on Ca2+ binding. The basic scheme proposed is: E2 <--> E1 <--> E1Ca <--> El'Ca <--> E1'Ca2. The E1 conformation of the ATPase initially has one high-affinity binding site for Ca2+ exposed to the cytoplasmic side of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, but in the E2 conformation this site is unable to bind Ca2+; Ca2+ does not bind to luminal sites on E2. The second, outer, Ca(2+)-binding site on the ATPase is formed after binding of Ca2+ to the first, inner, site on E1 and the E1Ca <--> E1'Ca conformation change. The pH- and Mg(2+)-dependence of the E2 <--> E1 equilibrium has been established after changes in the fluorescence of the ATPase labelled with 4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole. It is proposed that Mg2+ from the cytoplasmic side of the sarcoplasmic reticulum can bind to the first Ca(2+)-binding site on both E1 and E2. It is proposed that the change in tryptophan fluorescence intensity after binding of Ca2+ follows from the E1Ca <--> E1'Ca change. The pH- and Mg(2+)-dependence of this change defines H(+)- and Mg(2+)-binding constants at the two Ca(2+)-binding sites. It is proposed that the change in tryptophan fluorescence observed on binding Mg2+ follows from binding at the second Ca(2+)-binding site. Effects of pH and Mg2+ on the fluorescence of the ATPase labelled with 4-(bromomethyl)-6,7-dimethoxycoumarin are proposed to follow from binding to a site on the ATPase, the 'gating' site, which affects the affinity of the first Ca(2+)-binding site for Ca2+ and affects the rate of dissociation of Ca2+ from the ATPase.

Project description:Stop-flow fluorescence and rapid-filtration methods have been used to establish the kinetics of Ca2+ binding to, and dissociation from, the (Ca(2+)-Mg2+)-ATPase of skeletal-muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum and to define the effects of H+ and Mg2+ on Ca2+ binding and dissociation rates. The kinetics have been interpreted in terms of the scheme: E2 E2<==>E1<==>E1Ca<==>E1'Ca<==>E1'Ca2. The kinetics of the E2<==>E1 E1 transition have been determined by measuring the rate of change of the fluorescence of the ATPase labelled with 4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole after a pH jump or the addition of Ca2+ to the labelled ATPase in the presence of thapsigargin or thapsivillosin A. It has been shown that Mg2+ has a marked effect on Ca2+ dissociation at pH 7.2 and that changes in the tryptophan fluorescence of the ATPase follow the same time course as the dissociation of 45Ca2+. It is proposed that the effect of Mg2+ follows from binding to a 'gating' site, as detected by changes in the fluorescence of the ATPase labelled with 4-(bromomethyl)-6,7-dimethoxycoumarin. The rate of dissociation of Ca2+ from the ATPase increases with increasing pH. The rate of dissociation of Ca2+ decreases with increasing Ca2+ concentration in the medium, with an apparent affinity for Ca2+ greater than that seen for the change in fluorescence amplitude. It is shown that this follows if the first, inner, Ca(2+)-binding site on the ATPase has a lower affinity for Ca2+ than the second, outer, site. Effects of H+ and Mg2+ on Ca2+ dissociation can be treated by the quasiequilibrium approach. Mg2+ and H+ also affect the rate of Ca2+ binding to the ATPase, and effects of H+ and Mg2+ on the E2<==>E1 equilibrium explain the results of experiments in which the concentrations of H+ and Mg2+ are jumped.

Project description:Protonation of acidic residues in the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA 1a) was studied by multiconformation continuum electrostatic calculations in the Ca(2+)-bound state Ca(2)E1, in the Ca(2+)-free state E2(TG) with bound thapsigargin, and in the E2P (ADP-insensitive phosphoenzyme) analog state with MgF(4)(2-) E2(TG+MgF(4)(2-)). Around physiological pH, all acidic Ca(2+) ligands (Glu(309), Glu(771), Asp(800), and Glu(908)) were unprotonated in Ca(2)E1; in E2(TG) and E2(TG+MgF(4)(2-)) Glu(771), Asp(800), and Glu(908) were protonated. Glu(771) and Glu(908) had calculated pK(a) values larger than 14 in E2(TG) and E2(TG+MgF(4)(2-)), whereas Asp(800) titrated with calculated pK(a) values near 7.5. Glu(309) had very different pK(a) values in the Ca(2+)-free states: 8.4 in E2(TG+MgF(4)(2-)) and 4.7 in E2(TG) because of a different local backbone conformation. This indicates that Glu(309) can switch between a high and a low pK(a) mode, depending on the local backbone conformation. Protonated Glu(309) occupied predominantly two main, very differently orientated side-chain conformations in E2(TG+MgF(4)(2-)): one oriented inward toward the other Ca(2+) ligands and one oriented outward toward a protein channel that seems to be in contact with the cytoplasm. Upon deprotonation, Glu(309) adopted completely the outwardly orientated side-chain conformation. The contact of Glu(309) with the cytoplasm in E2(TG+MgF(4)(2-)) makes this residue unlikely to bind lumenal protons. Instead it might serve as a proton shuttle between Ca(2+)-binding site I and the cytoplasm. Glu(771), Asp(800), and Glu(908) are proposed to take part in proton countertransport.

Project description:The actuator (A) domain of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase not only plays a catalytic role but also undergoes large rotational movements that influence the distant transport sites through connections with transmembrane helices M1 and M2. Here we explore the importance of long helix M2 and its junction with the A domain by disrupting the helix structure and elongating with insertions of five glycine residues. Insertions into the membrane region of M2 and the top junctional segment impair Ca(2+) transport despite reasonable ATPase activity, indicating that they are uncoupled. These mutants fail to occlude Ca(2+). Those at the top segment also exhibited accelerated phosphoenzyme isomerization E1P ? E2P. Insertions into the middle of M2 markedly accelerate E2P hydrolysis and cause strong resistance to inhibition by luminal Ca(2+). Insertions along almost the entire M2 region inhibit the dephosphorylated enzyme transition E2 ? E1. The results pinpoint which parts of M2 control cytoplasm gating and which are critical for luminal gating at each stage in the transport cycle and suggest that proper gate function requires appropriate interactions, tension, and/or rigidity in the M2 region at appropriate times for coupling with A domain movements and catalysis.
