Bibliographic record
Abstract
Residues in conserved motifs 625TGD, 676FARXXPXXK, and 701TGDGVND in domain P of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, as well as in motifs 601DPPR and 359NQR(/K)MSV in the hinge segments connecting domains N and P, were examined by mutagenesis to assess their roles in nucleotide and Mg2+ binding and stabilization of the Ca2+-activated transition state for phosphoryl transfer. In the absence of Mg2+, mutations removing the charges of domain P residues Asp627, Lys684, Asp703, and Asp707 increased the affinity for ATP and 2′,3′-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-8-azidoadenosine 5′-triphosphate. These mutations, as well as Gly626→ Ala, were inhibitory for ATP binding in the presence of Mg2+ and for tight binding of the β,γ-bidentate chromium(III) complex of ATP. The hinge mutations had pronounced, but variable, effects on ATP binding only in the presence of Mg2+. The data demonstrate an unfavorable electrostatic environment for binding of negatively charged nucleotide in domain P and show that Mg2+ is required to anchor the phosphoryl group of ATP at the phosphorylation site. Mutants Gly626 → Ala, Lys684 → Met, Asp703 → Ala/Ser/Cys, and mutants with alteration to Asp707 exhibited very slow or negligible phosphorylation, making it possible to measure ATP binding in the pseudo-transition state attained in the presence of both Mg2+ and Ca2+. Under these conditions, ATP binding was almost completely blocked in Gly626 → Ala and occurred with 12- and 7-fold reduced affinities in Asp703 → Ala and Asp707 → Cys, respectively, relative to the situation in the presence of Mg2+ without Ca2+, whereas in Lys684 → Met and Asp707 → Ser/Asn the affinity was enhanced 14- and 3–5-fold, respectively. Hence, Gly626 and Asp703 seem particularly critical for mediating entry into the transition state for phosphoryl transfer upon Ca2+ binding at the transport sites. Residues in conserved motifs 625TGD, 676FARXXPXXK, and 701TGDGVND in domain P of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, as well as in motifs 601DPPR and 359NQR(/K)MSV in the hinge segments connecting domains N and P, were examined by mutagenesis to assess their roles in nucleotide and Mg2+ binding and stabilization of the Ca2+-activated transition state for phosphoryl transfer. In the absence of Mg2+, mutations removing the charges of domain P residues Asp627, Lys684, Asp703, and Asp707 increased the affinity for ATP and 2′,3′-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-8-azidoadenosine 5′-triphosphate. These mutations, as well as Gly626→ Ala, were inhibitory for ATP binding in the presence of Mg2+ and for tight binding of the β,γ-bidentate chromium(III) complex of ATP. The hinge mutations had pronounced, but variable, effects on ATP binding only in the presence of Mg2+. The data demonstrate an unfavorable electrostatic environment for binding of negatively charged nucleotide in domain P and show that Mg2+ is required to anchor the phosphoryl group of ATP at the phosphorylation site. Mutants Gly626 → Ala, Lys684 → Met, Asp703 → Ala/Ser/Cys, and mutants with alteration to Asp707 exhibited very slow or negligible phosphorylation, making it possible to measure ATP binding in the pseudo-transition state attained in the presence of both Mg2+ and Ca2+. Under these conditions, ATP binding was almost completely blocked in Gly626 → Ala and occurred with 12- and 7-fold reduced affinities in Asp703 → Ala and Asp707 → Cys, respectively, relative to the situation in the presence of Mg2+ without Ca2+, whereas in Lys684 → Met and Asp707 → Ser/Asn the affinity was enhanced 14- and 3–5-fold, respectively. Hence, Gly626 and Asp703 seem particularly critical for mediating entry into the transition state for phosphoryl transfer upon Ca2+ binding at the transport sites. The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 1The abbreviations used are: Ca2+-ATPase, the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-transporting adenosine triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.38); CrATP, β,γ-bidentate chromium(III) complex of ATP; E1, enzyme form with cytoplasmically facing high affinity Ca2+ binding sites; E2, enzyme form with low affinity for Ca2+; E2(TG), E2 enzyme with bound thapsigargin; E1P, ADP-sensitive phosphoenzyme intermediate containing Ca2+ in the occluded state; E2P, ADP-insensitive phosphoenzyme intermediate with luminally facing low affinity Ca2+ binding sites; EPPS, N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N′-3-propanesulfonic acid; K0.5, ligand concentration giving half-maximum effect; MES, 2-[N-morpholino]eth-anesulfonic acid; MOPS, 3-[N-morpholino]propanesulfonic acid; TMAH, tetramethylammonium hydroxide; TNP-8N3-ATP, 2′,3′-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-8-azidoadenosine 5′-triphosphate. from rabbit muscle couples the hydrolysis of ATP to the transport of Ca2+ to the reticular lumen, and the lowering of the sarcoplasmic Ca2+ concentration leads to muscle relaxation. This ion pump is a well studied example of P-type ATPases, the catalytic cycle of which includes a phosphorylated aspartyl intermediate and progression through E1 and E2 states. ATP-dependent phosphorylation takes place upon Ca2+ binding in the E1 form, and hydrolysis of the aspartyl phosphoryl bond occurs in the E2P phosphoenzyme conformation following Ca2+ translocation across the membrane. Two atomic structures of the protein have been elucidated by x-ray crystallography, one in the presence of Ca2+ (designated E1(Ca2)) and another in the absence of Ca2+ and presence of the specific inhibitor thapsigargin (E2(TG)) (1Toyoshima C. Nakasako M. Nomura H. Ogawa H. Nature. 2000; 405: 647-655Google Scholar, 2Toyoshima C. Nomura H. Nature. 2002; 418: 605-611Google Scholar). They reveal 10 membrane-spanning helices, connected through a stalk section to the phosphorylation (P) domain in association with nucleotide (N) and actuator (A) domains. The three head domains are loosely attached in E1(Ca2) and closer together, forming a more compact entity, in E2(TG). For ATP-dependent phosphorylation of Asp351 to occur in the Ca2+ bound E1 state, domain N must close over the phosphorylation site, such that the nucleotide site is brought close to Asp351. ATP likely straddles both domains, the nucleoside portion anchored in domain N and the phosphates stretching into domain P (cf.Fig. 1A). Domain P contains the highly conserved segments 625TGD, 676FARXXPXXK, and 701TGDGVND that surround the phosphorylation loop 351DKTGTLT. Many of these residues have been implicated in ATP binding and catalysis on the basis of chemical labeling and cross-linking experiments, and mutagenesis of Ca2+-ATPase and related pumps (for review, see Ref. 3McIntosh D.B.
