Abstract
Darier disease (DD) is caused by mutations of the ATP2A2 gene, which encodes the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase isoform 2 (SERCA2). The mutations affect protein expression, degradation and activity. We report a patient with severe sporadic DD, who did not respond adequately to repeated courses of orally administered acitretin and isotretinoin. He was found to harbor the missense P160L mutation of the ATP2A2 gene in a heterozygous state in the A domain of SERCA2 and polymorphism in intron 18 (2741 + 54 G --> A). The A domain plays a key role in translocation of Ca(2+) from cytoplasm to endoplasmic reticulum lumen, thus establishing a low intracellular Ca(2+) concentration.

Abstract
Infrared spectroscopy was used to monitor the conformational change of 2',3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)adenosine 5'-monophosphate (TNP-AMP) binding to the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase. TNP-AMP binding was observed in a competition experiment: TNP-AMP is initially bound to the ATPase but is then replaced by beta,gamma-iminoadenosine 5'-triphosphate (AMPPNP) after AMPPNP release from P(3)-1-(2-nitrophenyl)ethyl AMPPNP (caged AMPPNP). The resulting infrared difference spectra are compared to those of AMPPNP binding to the free ATPase, to obtain a difference spectrum that reflects solely TNP-AMP binding to the Ca(2+)-ATPase. TNP-AMP used as an ATP analog in the crystal structure of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase was found to induce a conformational change upon binding to the ATPase. It binds with a binding mode that is different from that of AMPPNP, ATP, and other tri- and diphosphate nucleotides: TNP-AMP binding causes partially opposite and smaller conformational changes compared to ATP or AMPPNP. The conformation of the TNP-AMP ATPase complex is more similar to that of the E1Ca(2) state than to that of the E1ATPCa(2) state. Regarding the use of infrared spectroscopy as a technique for ligand binding studies, our results show that infrared spectroscopy is able to distinguish different binding modes.

Abstract
P-type ATPases are ATP-powered ion pumps that establish ion concentration gradients across cell and organelle membranes. Here, we describe the crystal structure of the Ca2+ pump of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum, a representative member of the P-type ATPase superfamily, with an ATP analogue, a Mg2+ and two Ca2+ ions in the respective binding sites. In this state, the ATP analogue reorganizes the three cytoplasmic domains (A, N and P), which are widely separated without nucleotide, by directly bridging the N and P domains. The structure of the P-domain itself is altered by the binding of the ATP analogue and Mg2+. As a result, the A-domain is tilted so that one of the transmembrane helices moves to lock the cytoplasmic gate of the transmembrane Ca2+-binding sites. This appears to be the mechanism for occluding the bound Ca2+ ions, before releasing them into the lumen of the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
The possible functional abnormalities in three different Darier disease-causing Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA2b) mutants, Ile(274) --> Val at the lumenal end of M3, Leu(321) --> Phe on the cytoplasmic part of M4, and Met(719) --> Ile in P domain, were explored, because they exhibited nearly normal expression and localization in COS-1 cells and the high ATPase and coupled Ca(2+) transport activities that were essentially identical (L321F) or slightly lower (I274V by approximately 35% and M719I by approximately 30%) as compared with those of the wild type. These mutations happened to be in Japanese patients found previously by us. Kinetic analyses revealed that each of the mutants possesses distinct types of abnormalities; M719I and L321F possess the 2-3-fold reduced affinity for cytoplasmic Ca(2+), whereas I274V possesses the normal high affinity. L321F exhibited also the remarkably reduced sensitivity to the feedback inhibition of the transport cycle by accumulated lumenal Ca(2+), as demonstrated with the effect of Ca(2+) ionophore on ATPase activity and more specifically with the effects of Ca(2+) (up to 50 mm) on the decay of phosphoenzyme intermediates. The results on I274V and M719I suggest that the physiological requirement for Ca(2+) homeostasis in keratinocytes to avoid haploinsufficiency is very strict, probably much more than considered previously. The insensitivity to lumenal Ca(2+) in L321F likely brings the lumenal Ca(2+) to an abnormally elevated level. The three mutants with their distinctively altered kinetic properties will thus likely cause different types of perturbation of intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis, but nevertheless all types of perturbation result in Darier disease. It might be possible that the observed unique feature of L321F could possibly be associated with the specific symptoms in the pedigree with this mutation, neuropsychiatric disorder, and behavior problems. The results also provided further insight into the global nature of conformational changes of SERCAs for ATP-driven Ca(2+) transport.

Abstract
The transport of Ca(2+) by Ca-ATPase across the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane is accompanied by several transconformations of the protein. Relying on the already established functional importance of low-frequency modes in dynamics of proteins, we report here a normal mode analysis of the Ca(2+)-ATPase based on the crystallographic structures of the E1Ca(2) and E2TG forms. The lowest-frequency modes reveal that the N and A(+Nter) domains undergo the largest amplitude movements. The dynamical domain analysis performed with the DomainFinder program suggests that they behave as rigid bodies, unlike the highly flexible P domain. We highlight two types of movements of the transmembrane helices: i), a concerted movement around an axis perpendicular to the membrane which "twists open" the lumenal side of the protein and ii), an individual translational and rotational mobility which is of lower amplitude for the helices hosting the calcium binding sites. Among all modes calculated for E1Ca, only three are enough to describe the transition to E2TG; the associated movements involve almost exclusively the A and N domains, reflecting the closure of the cytoplasmic headpiece and high displacement of the L7-8 lumenal loop. Subsequently, we discuss the potential contribution of the remaining low-frequency normal modes to the transconformations occurring within the overall calcium transport cycle.

Abstract
In the absence of ATP the sarcoplasmic reticulum ATPase (SERCA) binds two Ca(2+) with high affinity. The two bound Ca(2+) rapidly undergo reverse dissociation upon addition of EGTA, but can be distinguished by isotopic exchange indicating fast exchange at a superficial site (site II), and retardation of exchange at a deeper site (site I) by occupancy of site II. Site II mutations that allow high affinity binding to site I, but only low affinity binding to site II, show that retardation of isotopic exchange requires higher Ca(2+) concentrations with the N796A mutant, and is not observed with the E309Q mutant even at millimolar Ca(2+). Fluoroaluminate forms a complex at the catalytic site yielding stable analogs of the phosphoenzyme intermediate, with properties similar to E2-P or E1-P.Ca(2). Mutational analysis indicates that Asp(351), Lys(352), Thr(353), Asp(703), Asn(706), Asp(707), Thr(625), and Lys(684) participate in stabilization of fluoroaluminate and Mg(2+) at the phosphorylation site. In the presence of fluoroaluminate and Ca(2+), ADP (or AMP-PCP) favors formation of a stable ADP.E1-P.Ca(2) analog. This produces strong occlusion of Ca(2+) bound to both sites (I and II), whereby dissociation occurs very slowly even following addition of EGTA. Occlusion by fluoraluminate and ADP is not observed with the E309Q mutant, suggesting a gating function of Glu(309) at the mouth of a binding cavity with a single path of entry. This phenomenon corresponds to the earliest step of the catalytic cycle following utilization of ATP. Experiments on limited proteolysis reveal that a long range conformational change, involving displacement of headpiece domains and transmembrane helices, plays a mechanistic role.

Abstract
The functional consequences of a series of point mutations in transmembrane segment M1 of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase were analyzed in steady-state and transient kinetic experiments examining the partial reaction steps involved in Ca2+ interaction and phosphoenzyme turnover. Arginine or leucine substitution of Glu51, Glu55, or Glu58, located in the N-terminal third of M1, did not affect these functions. Arginine or leucine substitution of Asp59, located right at the bend of M1 seen in the crystal structure of the thapsigargin-bound form, caused a 10-fold increase of the rate of Ca2+ dissociation toward the cytoplasmic side. Mutation of Leu60 to alanine or proline and of Val62 to alanine also enhanced Ca2+ dissociation, whereas an 11-fold reduction of the rate of Ca2+ dissociation was observed upon alanine substitution of Leu65, thus providing evidence for a relation of the middle part of M1 to a gating mechanism controlling the dissociation of occluded Ca2+ from its membranous binding sites. Moreover, phosphoenzyme processing was affected by some of the latter mutations, in particular leucine substitution of Asp59, and alanine substitution of Leu65 accelerated the transition to ADP-insensitive phosphoenzyme and blocked its dephosphorylation, thus demonstrating that this part of M1, besides being important in Ca2+ interaction, furthermore, is a critical element in the long range signaling between the transmembrane domain and the cytoplasmic catalytic site.

Abstract
By measuring the phosphorylation levels of individual proteolytic fragments of SERCA1a separated by electrophoresis after their phosphorylation, we were able to study the catalytic properties of a p95C-p14N complex arising from SERCA1a cleavage by proteinase K between Leu(119) and Lys(120), in the loop linking the A-domain with the second transmembrane segment. ATP hydrolysis by the complex was very strongly inhibited, although ATP-dependent phosphorylation and the conversion of the ADP-sensitive E1P form to E2P still occurred at appreciable rates. However, the rate of subsequent dephosphorylation of E2P was inhibited to a dramatic extent, and this was also the case for the rate of "backdoor" formation of E2P from E2 and P(i). E2P formation from E2 at equilibrium nevertheless indicated little change in the apparent affinity for P(i) or Mg(2+), while binding of orthovanadate was weaker. The p95C-p14N complex also had a slightly reduced affinity for Ca(2+) and exhibited a reduced rate for its Ca(2+)-dependent transition from E2 to Ca(2)E1. Thus, disruption of the N-terminal link of the A-domain with the transmembrane region seems to shift the conformational equilibria of Ca(2+)-ATPase from the E1/E1P toward the E2/E2P states and to increase the activation energy for dephosphorylation of Ca(2+)-ATPase, reviving the old idea of the A-domain being a phosphatase domain as part of the transduction machinery.

Abstract
The recently determined crystal structures of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase show that in the E(1)Ca(2) form, domain A is almost isolated from the other cytoplasmic domains, P and N, whereas in E(2), domain A has approached domains P and N, with E183 of the highly conserved P-type ATPase signature sequence TGES in domain A now being close to the phosphorylated aspartate in domain P, thus raising the question whether E183 acquires a catalytic role in E(2) and E(2)P conformations. This study compares the partial reactions of mutant E183A and wild-type Ca(2+)-ATPase, using transient and steady-state kinetic measurements. It is demonstrated that dephosphorylation of the E(2)P phosphoenzyme intermediate, as well as reverse phosphorylation of E(2) with P(i), is severely inhibited in the mutant. Furthermore, the apparent affinity of E(2) for the phosphoryl transition state analog vanadate is reduced by three orders of magnitude, consistent with a destabilization of the transition state complex, and the mutant displays reduced apparent affinity for P(i) in the E(2) form. The E(1)Ca(2) conformation, on the other hand, shows normal phosphorylation with ATP and normal Ca(2+) binding properties, and the rates of the conformational transitions E(1)PCa(2) --> E(2)P and E(2) --> E(1)Ca(2) are only 2- to 3-fold reduced, relative to wild type. These results, which likely can be generalized to other P-type ATPases, indicate that E183 is critical for the phosphatase function of E(2) and E(2)P, possibly interacting with the phosphoryl group or attacking water in the transition state complex, but is of little functional importance in E(1) and E(1)P.

Abstract
The structural natures of stable analogues for the ADP-insensitive phosphoenzyme (E2P) of Ca(2+)-ATPase formed in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, i.e. the enzymes with bound beryllium fluoride (BeF.E2), bound aluminum fluoride (AlF.E2), and bound magnesium fluoride (MgF.E2), were explored and compared with those of actual E2P formed from P(i) without Ca(2+). Changes in trinitrophenyl-AMP fluorescence revealed that the catalytic site is strongly hydrophobic in BeF.E2 as in E2P but hydrophilic in MgF.E2 and AlF.E2; yet, the three cytoplasmic domains are compactly organized in these states. Thapsigargin, which was shown in the crystal structure to fix the transmembrane helices and, thus, the postulated Ca(2+) release pathway to lumen in a closed state, largely reduced the tryptophan fluorescence in BeF.E2 as in E2P, but only very slightly (hence, the release pathway is likely closed without thapsigargin) in MgF.E2 and AlF.E2 as in dephosphorylated enzyme. Consistently, the completely suppressed Ca(2+)-ATPase activity in BeF-treated vesicles was rapidly restored in the presence of ionophore A23187 but not in its absence by incubation with Ca(2+) (over several millimolar concentrations) at pH 6, and, therefore, lumenal Ca(2+) is accessible to reactivate the enzyme. In contrast, no or only very slow restoration was observed with vesicles treated with MgF and AlF even with A23187. BeF.E2 thus has the features very similar to those characteristic of the E2P ground state, although AlF.E2 and MgF.E2 most likely mimic the transition or product state for the E2P hydrolysis, during which the hydrophobic nature around the phosphorylation site is lost and the Ca(2+) release pathway is closed. The change in hydrophobic nature is probably associated with the change in phosphate geometry from the covalently bound tetrahedral ground state (BeF(3)(-)) to trigonal bipyramidal transition state (AlF(3) or AlF(4)(-)) and further to tetrahedral product state (MgF(4)(2-)), and such change likely rearranges transmembrane helices to prevent access and leakage of lumenal Ca(2+).

Abstract
In P-type ATPases, the nucleotide-binding (N) domain is located in the middle of the sequence which folds into the phosphorylation (P) domain. The N domain of ZntA, a Zn2+-translocating P-type ATPase from Escherichia coli, is approx. 13% identical with the N domain of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase. None of the Ca2+-ATPase residues involved in binding of ATP are found in ZntA. However, the sequence G503SGIEAQV in the N domain of ZntA resembles the motif GxGxxG, which forms part of the ATP-binding site in protein kinases. This motif is also found in Wilson disease protein where several disease mutations cluster in it. In the present work, we have made a set of disease mutation analogues, including the mutants G503S (Gly503-->Ser), G505R and A508F of ZntA. At low [ATP], these mutant ATPases are poorly phosphorylated. The phosphorylation defect of the mutants G503S and G505R can, however, be partially (G503S) or fully (G505R) compensated for by using a higher [ATP], suggesting that these mutations lower the affinity for ATP. In all three mutant ATPases, phosphorylation by P(i) has become less sensitive to the presence of ATP, also consistent with the proposal that the Gly503 motif plays a role in ATP binding. In order to test this hypothesis, we have modelled the N domain of ZntA using the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase structure as a template. In the model, the Gly503 motif, as well as the residues Glu470 and His475, are located in the proximity of the ATP-binding site. In conclusion, the mutagenesis data and the molecular model are consistent with the idea that the two loops carrying the residues Glu470, His475, Gly503 and Gly505 play a role in ATP binding and activation.

Abstract
Steady-state and rapid kinetic studies were conducted to functionally characterize the overall and partial reactions of the Ca2+ transport cycle mediated by the human sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 2 (SERCA2) isoforms, SERCA2a and SERCA2b, and 10 Darier disease (DD) mutants upon heterologous expression in HEK-293 cells. SERCA2b displayed a 10-fold decrease in the rate of Ca2+ dissociation from E1Ca2 relative to SERCA2a (i.e. SERCA2b enzyme manifests true high affinity at cytosolic Ca2+ sites) and a lower rate of dephosphorylation. These fundamental kinetic differences explain the increased apparent affinity for activation by cytosolic Ca2+ and the reduced catalytic turnover rate in SERCA2b. Relative to SERCA1a, both SERCA2 isoforms displayed a 2-fold decrease of the rate of E2 to E1Ca2 transition. Furthermore, seven DD mutants were expressed at similar levels as wild type. The expression level was 2-fold reduced for Gly23 --> Glu and Ser920 --> Tyr and 10-fold reduced for Gly749 --> Arg. Uncoupling between Ca2+ translocation and ATP hydrolysis and/or changes in the rates of partial reactions account for lack of function for 7 of 10 mutants: Gly23 --> Glu (uncoupling), Ser186 --> Phe, Pro602 --> Leu, and Asp702 --> Asn (block of E1 approximately P(Ca2) to E2-P transition), Cys318 --> Arg (uncoupling and 3-fold reduction of E2-P to E2 transition rate), and Thr357 --> Lys and Gly769 --> Arg (lack of phosphorylation). A 2-fold decrease in the E1 approximately P(Ca2) to E2-P transition rate is responsible for the 2-fold decrease in activity for Pro895 --> Leu. Ser920 --> Tyr is a unique DD mutant showing an enhanced molecular Ca2+ transport activity relative to wild-type SERCA2b. In this case, the disease may be a consequence of the low expression level and/or reduction of Ca2+ affinity and sensitivity to inhibition by lumenal Ca2+.

Abstract
The effects of orthophosphate, nucleotide analogues, ADP, and covalent phosphorylation on the tryptic fragmentation patterns of the E1 and E2 forms of scallop Ca-ATPase were examined. Sites preferentially cleaved by trypsin in the E1 form of the Ca-ATPase were detected in the nucleotide (N) and phosphorylation (P) domains, as well as the actuator (A) domain. These sites were occluded in the E2 (Ca(2+)-free) form of the enzyme, consistent with mutual protection of the A, N, and P domains through their association into a clustered structure. Similar protection of cytoplasmic Ca(2+)-dependent tryptic cleavage sites was observed when the catalytic binding site for substrate on the E1 form of scallop Ca-ATPase was occupied by Pi, AMP-PNP, AMP-PCP, or ADP despite the presence of saturating levels of Ca2+. These results suggest that occupation of the catalytic site on E1 can induce condensation of the cytoplasmic domains to yield a unique structural intermediate that may be related to the form of the enzyme in which the active site is prepared for phosphoryl transfer. The effect of Pi on the E2 form of the scallop Ca-ATPase was also investigated, when it was found that formation of E2-P led to extreme resistance toward secondary cleavage by trypsin and stabilization of enzymatic activity for long periods of time.

Abstract
Active transport of cations is achieved by a large family of ATP-dependent ion pumps, known as P-type ATPases. Various members of this family have been targets of structural and functional investigations for over four decades. Recently, atomic structures have been determined for Ca2+-ATPase by X-ray crystallography, which not only reveal the architecture of these molecules but also offer the opportunity to understand the structural mechanisms by which the energy of ATP is coupled to calcium transport across the membrane. This energy coupling is accomplished by large-scale conformational changes. The transmembrane domain undergoes plastic deformations under the influence of calcium binding at the transport site. Cytoplasmic domains undergo dramatic rigid-body movements that deliver substrates to the catalytic site and that establish new domain interfaces. By comparing various structures and correlating functional data, we can now begin to associate the chemical changes constituting the reaction cycle with structural changes in these domains.

Abstract
We explored, by mutational substitutions and kinetic analysis, possible roles of the four residues involved in the hydrogen-bonding or ionic interactions found in the Ca2+-bound structure of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, Tyr(122)-Arg(324), and Glu(123)-Arg(334) at the top part of second transmembrane helix (M2) connected to the A domain and fourth transmembrane helix (M4) in the P domain. The observed substitution effects indicated that Glu(123), Arg(334), and Tyr(122) contributed to the rapid transition between the Ca2+-unbound and bound states of the unphosphorylated enzyme. Results further showed the more profound inhibitory effects of the substitutions in the M4/P domain (Arg(324) and Arg(334)) upon the isomeric transition of phosphorylated intermediate (EP) (loss of ADP sensitivity) and those in M2/A domain (Tyr(122) and Glu(123)) upon the subsequent processing and hydrolysis of EP. The observed distinct effects suggest that the interactions seen in the Ca2+-bound structure are not functionally important but indicate that Arg(334) with its positive charge and Tyr(122) with its aromatic ring are critically important for the above distinct steps. On the basis of the available structural information, the results strongly suggest that Arg(334) moves downward and forms new interactions with M2 (likely Asn(111)); it thus contributes to the inclination of the M4/P domain toward the M2/A domain, which is crucial for the appropriate gathering between the P domain and the largely rotated A domain to cause the loss of ADP sensitivity. On the other hand, Tyr(122) most likely functions in the subsequent Ca2+-releasing step to produce hydrophobic interactions at the A-P domain interface formed upon their gathering and thus to produce the Ca2+-released form of EP. During the Ca2+-transport cycle, the four residues seem to change interaction partners and thus contribute to the coordinated movements of the cytoplasmic and transmembrane domains.

Abstract
Possible roles of the Glu40-Ser48 loop connecting A domain and the first transmembrane helix (M1) in sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA1a) were explored by mutagenesis. Deletions of any single residues in this loop caused almost complete loss of Ca(2+)-ATPase activity, while their substitutions had no or only slight effects. Single deletions or substitutions in the adjacent N- and C-terminal regions of the loop (His32-Asn39 and Leu49-Ile54) had no or only slight effects except two specific substitutions of Asn39 found in SERCA2b in Darier's disease pedigrees. All the single deletion mutants for the Glu40-Ser48 loop and the specific Asn39 mutants formed phosphoenzyme intermediate (EP) from ATP, but their isomeric transition from ADP-sensitive EP (E1P) to ADP-insensitive EP (E2P) was almost completely or strongly inhibited. Hydrolysis of E2P formed from Pi was also dramatically slowed in these deletion mutants. On the other hand, the rates of the Ca(2+)-induced enzyme activation and subsequent E1P formation from ATP were not altered by the deletions and substitutions. The results indicate that the Glu40-Ser48 loop, with its appropriate length (but not with specific residues) and with its appropriate junction to A domain, is a critical element for the E1P to E2P transition and formation of the proper structure of E2P, therefore, most likely for the large rotational movement of A domain and resulting in its association with P and N domains. Results further suggest that the loop functions to coordinate this movement of A domain and the unique motion of M1 during the E1P to E2P transition.

Abstract
The structures of the Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA1a) have been determined for five different states by X-ray crystallography. Detailed comparison of the structures in the Ca(2+)-bound form and unbound (but thapsigargin-bound) form reveals that very large rearrangements of the transmembrane helices take place accompanying Ca2+ dissociation and binding and that they are mechanically linked with equally large movements of the cytoplasmic domains. The meanings of the rearrangements of the transmembrane helices and those of the cytoplasmic domains, and the mechanistic roles of the phosphorylation are now becoming clear.

Abstract
Protection of the Ca2+ATPase (SERCA) from proteinase K digestion has been observed following the addition of Ca2+, Mg2+, and nucleotide and interpreted as a substrate-dependent conformational change (1). The protected digestion site is located on the loop connecting the A domain and the M3 transmembrane helix. We studied by mutational analysis the protective effect of AMP-PCP, an ATP analog that is not utilized for enzyme phosphorylation. We found that the nucleotide protective effect is interfered with by single mutations of Arg-560 and Glu-439 in the N domain and Lys-352, Lys-684, Thr-353, Asp-703, and Asp-707 in the P domain. This is consistent with a transition from the open to the compact configuration of the ATPase headpiece and approximation of the N and P domains by interactions with the nucleotide adenosine and phosphate moieties, respectively. The A domain-M3 loop is consequently involved. Protection by nucleotide substrate increased following the mutations of Asp-351 (the residue undergoing phosphorylation by ATP) and neighboring Asn-706 to Ala, underlying the importance of side chain specificity in positioning the nucleotide terminal phosphate and limiting the stability of the substrate-enzyme complex. Protection is not observed when AMP-PCP is added in the absence of Ca2+ or following mutations (E771Q or N796A) that interfere with Ca2+ binding. Therefore, nucleotide binds to the Ca2+-activated enzyme in the open headpiece conformation and the consequent approximation of the N and P domains occurs while the transmembrane domain is still in the Ca2+-bound conformation. Mg2+ is not required for the protective effect of nucleotide, even though it is specifically required for the subsequent catalytic reactions.

Abstract
The cell membrane Na,K-ATPase is a member of the P-type family of active cation transport proteins. Recently the molecular structure of the related sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase in an E1 conformation has been determined at 2.6 A resolution. Furthermore, theoretical models of the Ca-ATPase in E2 conformations are available. As a result of these developments, these structural data have allowed construction of homology models that address the central questions of mechanism of active cation transport by all P-type cation pumps. This review relates recent evidence on functional sites of Na,K-ATPase for the substrate (ATP), the essential cofactor (Mg(2+) ions), and the transported cations (Na(+) and K(+)) to the molecular structure. The essential elements of the Ca-ATPase structure, including 10 transmembrane helices and well-defined N, P, and A cytoplasmic domains, are common to all PII-type pumps such as Na,K-ATPase and H,K-ATPases. However, for Na,K-ATPase and H,K-ATPase, which consist of both alpha- and beta-subunits, there may be some detailed differences in regions of subunit interactions. Mutagenesis, proteolytic cleavage, and transition metal-catalyzed oxidative cleavages are providing much evidence about residues involved in binding of Na(+), K(+), ATP, and Mg(2+) ions and changes accompanying E1-E2 or E1-P-E2-P conformational transitions. We discuss this evidence in relation to N, P, and A cytoplasmic domain interactions, and long-range interactions between the active site and the Na(+) and K(+) sites in the transmembrane segments, for the different steps of the catalytic cycle.

Abstract
Nine single mutations were introduced to amino acid residues Thr441, Glu442, Lys515, Arg560, Cys561, and Leu562 located in the nucleotide-binding domain of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, and the functional consequences were studied in a direct nucleotide binding assay, as well as by steady-state and transient kinetic measurements of the overall and partial reactions of the transport cycle. Some partial reaction steps were also examined in mutants with alterations to Phe487, Arg489, and Lys492. The results implicate all these residues, except Cys561, in high affinity nucleotide binding at the substrate site. Mutations Thr441 --> Ala, Glu442 --> Ala, and Leu562 --> Phe were more detrimental to MgATP binding than to ATP binding, thus pointing to a role for these residues in the binding of Mg2+ or to a difference between the interactions with MgATP and ATP. Subsequent catalytic steps were also selectively affected by the mutations, showing the involvement of the nucleotide-binding domain in these reactions. Mutation of Arg560 inhibited phosphoryl transfer but enhanced the E1PCa2 --> E2P conformational transition, whereas mutations Thr441 --> Ala, Glu442 --> Ala, Lys492 --> Leu, and Lys515 --> Ala inhibited the E1PCa2 --> E2P transition. Hydrolysis of the E2P phosphoenzyme intermediate was enhanced in Glu442 --> Ala, Lys492 --> Leu, Lys515 --> Ala, and Arg560 --> Glu. None of the mutations affected the low affinity activation by nucleotide of the phosphoenzyme-processing steps, indicating that modulatory nucleotide interacts differently from substrate nucleotide. Mutation Glu442 --> Ala greatly enhanced reaction of Lys515 with fluorescein isothiocyanate, indicating that the two residues form a salt link in the native protein.

Abstract
The monoclonal antibody PL/IM430 has previously been reported to uncouple Ca(2+) transport from ATP hydrolysis in platelet membranes (Hack, N., Wilkinson, J. M., and Crawford, N. (1988) Biochem. J. 250, 355-361). More recently, we have demonstrated that this antibody is specific for human SERCA3 (Poch, E., Leach, S., Snape, S., Cacic, T., MacLennan, D. H., and Lytton, J. (1998) Am. J. Physiol. 275, C1449-C1458). In this paper, we have extended the analysis of the PL/IM430-SERCA3 interaction. Using HEK293 cells to express human SERCA3a, we were able to measure both ATP-mediated, oxalate-dependent (45)Ca(2+) uptake and Ca(2+)-dependent ATP hydrolysis activities due exclusively to SERCA3. Treatment with PL/IM430 inhibited both activities almost identically, with a maximal inhibition of 81 and 73% and a half-maximal concentration of 8.3 and 5.9 microg/ml, for Ca(2+) uptake and ATP hydrolysis, respectively. We conclude that PL/IM430 does inhibit SERCA3 activity but does not uncouple Ca(2+) transport from ATP hydrolysis. Using a combination of partial proteolysis, GST fusion protein expression, and mutation of residues that differ between rat and human SERCA3, we have identified human SERCA3 amino acids Pro(8) and Glu(192) as essential to forming the PL/IM430 epitope. PL/IM430 thus recognizes a linearly noncontiguous set of amino acids within the actuator domain of human SERCA3. We propose that PL/IM430 inhibits SERCA3 activity by sterically preventing movement of the actuator domain into a catalytically critical position in the E2 conformation of the enzyme.

Abstract
The role of amino acid residues involved in substrate and cation binding was investigated in complementary experiments on Fe(2+)-catalyzed oxidation and cleavage, limited digestion with proteinase K, and mutational analysis. Cleavage at Ser346 was produced by Fe(2+) in the presence of substrate (ATP or AMP-PNP) and Ca(2+), and was attributed to Fe(2+) bound to a Mg(2+) site near Ser346 and neighboring Glu696. Ca(2+)- and ATP-dependent oxidation of the Thr441 side chain was also observed and attributed to Fe(2+) substituting for Mg(2+) in the Mg(2+)-ATP complex bound to the N domain. Mutation of Arg560 or Glu439 within the N domain interfered with nucleotide-dependent ATPase resistance to digestion with proteinase K. Furthermore, mutation of Lys352, Lys684, Thr353, Asp703, or Asp707 within the P domain produced similar interference, consistent with a role of these residues in substrate stabilization at the catalytic site. In a third group of experiments, equilibrium isotherms were obtained with Asn796Ala and Glu309Gln mutants, demonstrating non-cooperative binding of one Ca(2+) per ATPase, as opposed to cooperative binding of two Ca(2+) by WT enzyme. No high-affinity binding by Asp800Asn, Glu771Gln, and Thr799Ala mutants was detected. It was also demonstrated that the conformational transitions involved in enzyme activation and interconversion of Ca(2+) binding and phosphorylation energy, are triggered by Ca(2+) binding to site II and stabilization of Glu309 (M4) and N796 (M6).

Abstract
After proteinase K-induced excision of five amino acid residues in the semiconserved polypeptide chain linking the end of the A domain with the S3/M3 transmembrane segment we find that Ca(2+) transport is blocked while partial reactions like Ca(2+) binding, ATP phosphorylation, and Ca(2+)-occlusion are left intact. However, formation of the so-called E2P state (either from the phosphorylated species formed in the presence of ATP and Ca(2+) or from the Ca(2+)-depleted unphosphorylated species) is blocked. We conclude that the proteinase K-treated ATPase, while maintaining many of the partial reactions, is incapable of energy transduction because of the absence of an E2P state with Ca(2+) binding sites exposed to the intravesicular space. Sequence comparisons and mutagenesis data point to an important role in energy transduction of P-type ATPases of a conserved motif located at the end of the A domain.

The structures of the Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA1a) in different physiological states were determined by X-ray crystallography. Detailed comparison of the structures in the Ca(2+)-bound form and unbound (but thapsigargin bound) form reveals that very large rearrangements of the transmembrane helices take place accompanying Ca(2+) dissociation and binding and that they are mechanically linked with equally large movements of the cytoplasmic domains. The meaning of the rearrangement of the transmembrane helices becomes apparent by homology modeling of the Na(+)K(+)-ATPase.

Abstract
Thr(214) of the highly conserved (214)TGES sequence in domain A of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase was replaced with alanine, and the mutant was compared functionally with the previously characterized domain A mutant Gly(263) --> Ala. Thr(214) --> Ala displayed a conspicuous 150-fold reduction of the apparent vanadate affinity for inhibition of ATPase activity, which could not simply be explained by the observed shifts of the conformational equilibria in favor of E(1) and E(1)P. The intrinsic vanadate affinity of the E(2) form and the effect on the apparent vanadate affinity of displacement of the E(1)-E(2) equilibrium were determined in a phosphorylation assay that allows the enzyme-vanadate complex to be formed under equilibrium conditions. When the E(2) form prevailed, Thr(214) --> Ala retained a reduced vanadate affinity relative to wild type, whereas the affinity of Gly(263) --> Ala became wild type-like. Thus, mutation of Thr(214) affected the intrinsic affinity of E(2) for vanadate. Furthermore, Thr(214) --> Ala showed at least a 5-fold reduced E(2)P dephosphorylation rate relative to wild type in the presence of saturating concentrations of K(+) and Mg(2+). Because vanadate is a phosphoryl transition state analog, it is proposed that defective binding of the phosphoryl transition state complex (transition state destabilization) causes the inability to catalyze E(2)P dephosphorylation properly. By contrast, the phosphorylation site in the E(1) form was unaffected in Thr(214) --> Ala. Replacement of the glutamate, Glu(216), of (214)TGES with alanine was incompatible with cell viability, indicating a very low transport activity or expression level. Our results support the hypothesis that domain A is isolated in the E(1) form, but contributes to make up the catalytic site in the E(2) and E(2)P conformations.

Abstract
Infrared spectroscopy has been used to map substrate-protein interactions: the conformational changes of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase upon nucleotide binding and ATPase phosphorylation were monitored using the substrate ATP and ATP analogues (2'-deoxy-ATP, 3'-deoxy-ATP, and inosine 5'-triphosphate), which were modified at specific functional groups of the substrate. Modifications to the 2'-OH, the 3'-OH, and the amino group of adenine reduce the extent of binding-induced conformational change of the ATPase, with particularly strong effects observed for the latter two. This demonstrates the structural sensitivity of the nucleotide-ATPase complex to individual interactions between nucleotide and ATPase. All groups studied are important for binding and interactions of a given ligand group with the ATPase depend on interactions of other ligand groups. Phosphorylation of the ATPase was observed for ITP and 2'-deoxy-ATP, but not for 3'-deoxy-ATP. There is no direct link between the extent of conformational change upon nucleotide binding and the rate of phosphorylation showing that the full extent of the ATP-induced conformational change is not mandatory for phosphorylation. As observed for the nucleotide-ATPase complex, the conformation of the first phosphorylated ATPase intermediate E1PCa(2) also depends on the nucleotide, indicating that ATPase states have a less uniform conformation than previously anticipated.

Abstract
Possible roles of the Lys(189)-Lys(205) outermost loop on the A domain of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase were explored by mutagenesis. Both nonconservative and conservative substitutions of Val(200) caused very strong inhibition of Ca(2+)-ATPase activity, whereas substitutions of other residues on this loop reduced activity only moderately. All of the Val(200) mutants formed phosphoenzyme intermediate (EP) from ATP. Isomerization from ADP-sensitive EP (E1P) to ADP-insensitive EP (E2P) was not inhibited in the mutants, and a substantially larger amount of E2P actually accumulated in the mutants than in wild-type sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase at steady state. In contrast, decay of EP formed from ATP in the presence of Ca(2+) was strongly inhibited in the mutants. Hydrolysis of E2P formed from P(i) in the absence of Ca(2+) was also strongly inhibited but was faster than the decay of EP formed from ATP, indicating that the main kinetic limitation of the decay comes after loss of ADP sensitivity but before E2P hydrolysis. On the basis of the well accepted mechanism of the Ca(2+)-ATPase, the limitation is likely associated with the Ca(2+)-releasing step from E2P.Ca(2). On the other hand, the rate of activation of dephosphorylated enzyme on high affinity Ca(2+) binding was not altered by the substitutions. In light of the crystal structures, the present results strongly suggest that Val(200) confers appropriate interactions of the Lys(189)-Lys(205) loop with the P domain in the Ca(2+)-released form of E2P. Results further suggest that these interactions, however, do not contribute much to domain organization in the dephosphorylated enzyme and thus would be mostly lost on E2P hydrolysis.

Abstract
Point mutants with alterations to Leu249, Lys252, Leu253, Asp254, and Glu255 in membrane segment M3, and Pro824, Lys825, and Glu826 in loop L6-7, of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase were analyzed functionally by steady-state and transient kinetic methods. In mutants Leu249Ala, Lys252Glu, and Leu253Ala, the rate of Ca2+ dissociation from the cytoplasmically facing high-affinity Ca2+ sites was increased 4- to 7-fold relative to wild type, and in Leu249Ala and Lys252Glu the rate of Ca2+ binding was increased as well. Substitution of Lys252 with arginine, alanine, glutamine, or methionine affected Ca2+ interaction much less, indicating that the negative charge of the glutamate is particularly disturbing. These findings may be understood on the basis of the hypothesis that a water-accessible channel leading between membrane segments M1 and M3 in the thapsigargin-bound Ca2+-free structure [Toyoshima, C., and Nomura, H. (2002) Nature 418, 605-611] is closely related to the migration pathway for Ca2+. The effects of alanine mutations to Leu249 and Leu253 on Ca2+ dissociation may arise from destabilization of the hydrophobic wall lining the pathway. In mutant Lys252Glu, unfavorable interaction between the glutamate and L6-7 may open the pathway. In addition, Leu253Ala, and to a lesser extent some of the other mutations, reduced the rate of the E1PCa2 to E2P transition of the phosphoenzyme, enhanced the rate of dephosphorylation of E2P, and reduced the apparent affinity for vanadate, suggesting interference with the conformational change of the phosphoenzyme and the function of the catalytic site in E2 and E2P.

Abstract
After treatment of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase with proteinase K (PK) in the presence of Ca(2+) and a protecting non-phosphorylated ligand (e.g. adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-methylenetriphosphate), we were able to prepare in high yield an ATPase species that only differs from intact ATPase because of excision of the MAATE(243) sequence from the loop linking the A domain with the third transmembrane segment. The PK-treated ATPase was unable to transport Ca(2+) and to catalyze ATP hydrolysis, but it could bind two calcium ions with high affinity and react with ATP to form a classical ADP-sensitive phosphoenzyme, Ca(2)E1P, with occluded Ca(2+). The ability of Ca(2)E1P to become converted to the Ca(2+)-free ADP-insensitive form, E2P, was strongly reduced, as was the ability of PK-treated ATPase to react with orthovanadate or to form an E2P intermediate from inorganic phosphate in the absence of Ca(2+). PK-treated ATPase also reacted with thapsigargin to form a complex with altered properties, and the tryptic cleavage "T2" site in the A domain was no longer protected in the absence of Ca(2+). It is probable that disrupting the C-terminal link of the A domain with the transmembrane region severely compromises reorientation of A and P domains and the functionally critical cross-talk of these domains with the membrane-bound Ca(2+) ions.

Abstract
Fe(2+) can substitute for Mg(2+) in activation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) ATPase, permitting approximately 25% activity in the presence of Ca(2+). Therefore, we used Fe(2+) to obtain information on the binding sites for Mg(2+) and the Mg(2+)-ATP complex within the enzyme structure. When the ATPase is incubated with Fe(2+) in the presence of H(2)O(2) and/or ascorbate, specific patterns of Fe(2+)-catalyzed oxidation and cleavage are observed in the SR ATPase, depending on its Ca(2+)-bound (E1-Ca(2)) or Ca(2+)-free conformation (E2-TG), as well as on the presence of ATP. The ATPase protein in the E1-Ca(2) state is cleaved efficiently by Fe(2+) with H(2)O(2) and ascorbate assistance, yielding a 70-75 kDa carboxyl end fragment. Cleavage of the ATPase protein in the E2-TG state occurs within the same region, but with a more diffuse pattern, yielding multiple fragments within the 65-85 kDa range. When Fe(2+) catalysis is assisted by ascorbate only (in the absence of H(2)O(2)), cleavage at the same protein site occurs much more slowly, and is facilitated by ATP (or AMP-PNP) and Ca(2+). Amino acid sequencing indicates that protein cleavage occurs at and near Ser346, and is attributed to Fe(2+) bound to a primary Mg(2+) site near Ser346 and neighboring Glu696. In addition, incubation with Fe(2+) and ascorbate produces Ca(2+)- and ATP-dependent oxidation of the Thr441 side chain, as demonstrated by NaB(3)H(4) incorporation and analysis of fragments obtained by extensive trypsin digestion. This oxidation is attributed to bound Fe(2+)-ATP complex, as shown by structural modeling of the Mg(2+)-ATP complex at the substrate site.

Abstract
In skeletal muscle, calcium ions are transported (pumped) against a concentration gradient from the cytoplasm into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, an intracellular organelle. This causes muscle cells to relax after cytosolic calcium increases during excitation. The Ca(2+) ATPase that carries out this pumping is a representative P-type ion-transporting ATPase. Here we describe the structure of this ion pump at 3.1 A resolution in a Ca(2+)-free (E2) state, and compare it with that determined previously for the Ca(2+)-bound (E1Ca(2+)) state. The structure of the enzyme stabilized by thapsigargin, a potent inhibitor, shows large conformation differences from that in E1Ca(2+). Three cytoplasmic domains gather to form a single headpiece, and six of the ten transmembrane helices exhibit large-scale rearrangements. These rearrangements ensure the release of calcium ions into the lumen of sarcoplasmic reticulum and, on the cytoplasmic side, create a pathway for entry of new calcium ions.

Abstract
Fluorescence quenching by the water-soluble ions I(-) and Cs(+) was used to probe solvent accessibility and polarity of the nucleotide/fluorescein isothiocyanate binding pocket of the purified soluble Ca(2+)-ATPase from plasma membranes. The E(1).Ca.CaM conformer was the least accessible state studied, presenting the lowest suppression constant (K(q)) for both I(-) (K(q) = 6.7 M(-)(1)) and Cs(+) (K(q) = 0.7 M(-)(1)). Accessibility to I(-) was similar for the E(2).VO(4) and E(1).Ca states (K(q) = 7.13 and 7.5 M(-)(1), respectively), whereas E(2) was slightly more accessible (K(q) = 9.1 M(-)(1)). The phosphorylated state E(2)-P presented the highest accessibility, with a K(q) of 16.5 M(-)(1), very near the K(q) of 20.3 M(-)(1) for free FITC. I(-) was unequivocally a better fluorescence quencher, being usually nearly 3-fold as efficient as Cs(+), as indicated by the K(q)(I(-))/K(q)(Cs(+)) ratio (R(q)). The advent of a positive charge cluster on the nucleotide/fluorescein binding pocket in different states was suggested by the increase in R(q), which reached a value as high as 9.5 for the E(1).Ca.CaM conformer. These results indicate (i) a very high water accessibility of the nucleotide/fluorescein pocket for E(2)-P that (ii) is more restricted on the free E(2) state and (iii) becomes rather lower for the E(1).Ca states. Additionally, a positive charge effect of amino acids on the nucleotide site, possibly related to ATP binding and phosphoryl transfer, appears in these E(1).Ca states, being absent in the phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated E(2) states.

Abstract
Conditions were developed in the absence of Ca(2+) for purification, delipidation, and long term stabilization of octaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C(12)E(8))-solubilized sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase with tightly bound Mg(2+) and F(-), an analog for the phosphoenzyme intermediate without bound Ca(2+). The Ca(2+)-ATPase activity to monitor denaturation was assessed after treatment with 20 mm Ca(2+) to release tightly bound Mg(2+)/F(-). The purification and delipidation was successfully achieved with Reactive Red-agarose affinity chromatography. The solubilized Mg(2+)/F(-)-bound Ca(2+)-ATPase was very rapidly denatured at pH 8, but was perfectly stabilized at pH 6 against denaturation for over 20 days at 4 degrees C even without exogenously added phospholipid and at a high C(12)E(8)/enzyme weight ratio (10:1). The activity was not restored unless the enzyme was treated with 20 mm Ca(2+), showing that tightly bound Mg(2+)/F(-) was not released during the long term incubation. The perfect stability was attained with or without 0.1 mm dithiothreitol, but inactivation occurred with a half-life of 10 days in the presence of 1 mm dithiothreitol, possibly due to reduction of a specific disulfide bond(s). The remarkable stability is likely conferred by intimate gathering of cytoplasmic domains of Ca(2+)-ATPase molecule induced by tight binding of Mg(2+)/F(-). The present study thus reveals an essential property of the Mg(2+)/F(-)/Ca(2+)-ATPase complex, which will likely provide clues to understanding structure of the Ca(2+)-released form of phosphoenzyme intermediate at an atomic level.
