Abstract
We examined possible defects of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 2b (SERCA2b) associated with its 51 mutations found in Darier disease (DD) pedigrees, i.e. most of the substitution and deletion mutations of residues reported so far. COS-1 cells were transfected with each of the mutant cDNAs, and the expression and function of the SERCA2b protein was analyzed with microsomes prepared from the cells and compared with those of the wild type. Fifteen mutants showed markedly reduced expression. Among the other 36, 29 mutants exhibited completely abolished or strongly inhibited Ca2+-ATPase activity, whereas the other seven possessed fairly high or normal ATPase activity. In four of the aforementioned seven mutants, Ca2+ transport activity was significantly reduced or almost completely lost, therefore uncoupled from ATP hydrolysis. The other three were exceptional cases as they were seemingly normal in protein expression and Ca2+ transport function, but were found to have abnormalities in the kinetic properties altered by the three mutations, which happened to be in the three DD pedigrees found by us previously (Sato, K., Yamasaki, K., Daiho, T., Miyauchi, Y., Takahashi, H., Ishida-Yamamoto, A., Nakamura, S., Iizuka, H., and Suzuki, H. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 35595-35603). Collectively, our results indicated that in most cases (48 of 51) DD mutations cause severe disruption of Ca2+ homeostasis by the defects in protein expression and/or transport function and hence DD, but even a slight disturbance of the homeostasis will result in the disease. Our results also provided further insight into the structure-function relationship of SERCAs and revealed critical regions and residues of the enzyme.

Abstract
Mutants with alteration to Asn(706) of the highly conserved (701)TGDGVND(707) motif in domain P of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase were analyzed for changes in transport cycle kinetics and binding of the inhibitors vanadate, BeF, AlF, and MgF. The fluorides likely mimic the phosphoryl group/P(i) in the respective ground, transition, and product states of phosphoenzyme hydrolysis (Danko, S., Yamasaki, K., Daiho, T., and Suzuki, H. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 14991-14998). Binding of BeF, AlF, and MgF was also studied for mutant Glu(183) --> Ala, where the glutamate of the (181)TGES(184) motif in domain A is replaced. Mutations of Asn(706) and Glu(183) have in common that they dramatically impede the function of the enzyme in E2 states, but have little effect in E1. Contrary to the Glu(183) mutant, in which E2P slowly accumulates (Clausen, J. D., Vilsen, B., McIntosh, D. B., Einholm, A. P., and Andersen, J. P. (2004) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 101, 2776-2781), E2P formation was not detectable with the Asn(706) mutants. Differential sensitivities of the mutants to inhibition by AlF, MgF, and BeF made it possible to distinguish different roles of Asn(706) and Glu(183). Hence, Asn(706) is less important than Glu(183) for gaining the transition state during E2P hydrolysis but plays critical roles in stabilization of E2P ground and E2.P(i) product states and in the major conformational changes associated with the Ca(2)E1P --> E2P and E2 --> Ca(2)E1 transitions, which seem to be facilitated by interaction of Asn(706) with domain A.

Abstract
The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA1a) belongs to the group of P-type ATPases, which actively transport inorganic cations across membranes at the expense of ATP hydrolysis. Three-dimensional structures of several transport intermediates of SERCA1a, stabilized by structural analogues of ATP and phosphoryl groups, are now available at atomic resolution. This has enabled the transport cycle of the protein to be described, including the coupling of Ca(2+) occlusion and phosphorylation by ATP, and of proton counter-transport and dephosphorylation. From these structures, Ca(2+)-ATPase gradually emerges as a molecular mechanical device in which some of the transmembrane segments perform Ca(2+) transport by piston-like movements and by the transmission of reciprocating movements that affect the chemical reactivity of the cytosolic globular domains.

Abstract
Functional roles of seven hydrophobic residues on the interface between the actuator (A) and phosphorylation (P) domains of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase were explored by alanine and serine substitutions. The residues examined were Ile179/Leu180/Ile232 on the A domain, Val705/Val726 on the P domain, and Leu119/Tyr122 on the loop linking the A domain and M2 (the second transmembrane helix). These residues gather to form a hydrophobic cluster around Tyr122 in the crystal structures of Ca2+-ATPase in Ca2+-unbound E2 (unphosphorylated) and E2P (phosphorylated) states but are far apart in those of Ca2+-bound E1 (unphosphorylated) and E1P (phosphorylated) states. The substitution-effects were also compared with those of Ile235 on the A domain/M3 linker and those of T181GE of the A domain, since they are in the immediate vicinity of the Tyr122-cluster. All these substitutions almost completely inhibited ATPase activity without inhibiting Ca2+-activated E1P formation from ATP. Substitutions of Ile235 and T181GE blocked the E1P to E2P transition, whereas those in the Tyr122-cluster blocked the subsequent E2P hydrolysis. Substitutions of Ile235 and Glu183 also blocked EP hydrolysis. Results indicate that the Tyr122-cluster is formed during the E1P to E2P transition to configure the catalytic site and position Glu183 properly for hydrolyzing the acylphosphate. Ile235 on the A domain/M3 linker likely forms hydrophobic interactions with the A domain and thereby allowing the strain of this linker to be utilized for large motions of the A domain during these processes. The Tyr122-cluster, Ile235, and T181GE thus seem to have different roles and are critical in the successive events in processing phosphorylated intermediates to transport Ca2+.

Abstract
Ca(2+)-ATPase belongs to the family of P-type ATPases and maintains low concentrations of intracellular Ca(2+). Its reaction cycle consists of four main intermediates that alternate ion binding in the transmembrane domain with phosphorylation of an aspartate residue in a cytoplasmic domain. Previous work characterized an ultrastable phosphoenzyme produced first by labeling with fluorescein isothiocyanate, then by allowing this labeled enzyme to establish a maximal Ca(2+) gradient, and finally by removing Ca(2+) from the solution. This phosphoenzyme is characterized by very low fluorescence and has specific enzymatic properties suggesting the existence of a high energy phosphoryl bond. To study the structural properties of this phosphoenzyme, we used cryoelectron microscopy of two-dimensional crystals formed in the presence of decavanadate and determined the structure at 8-A resolution. To our surprise we found that at this resolution the low fluorescence phosphoenzyme had a structure similar to that of the native enzyme crystallized under equivalent conditions. We went on to use glutaraldehyde cross-linking and proteolysis for independent structural assessment and concluded that, like the unphosphorylated native enzyme, Ca(2+) and vanadate exert a strong influence over the global structure of this low fluorescence phosphoenzyme. Based on a structural model with fluorescein isothiocyanate bound at the ATP site, we suggest that the stability as well as the low fluorescence of this phosphoenzyme is due to a fluorescein-mediated cross-link between two cytoplasmic domains that prevents hydrolysis of the aspartyl phosphate. Finally, we consider the alternative possibility that phosphate transfer to fluorescein itself could explain the properties of this low fluorescence species.

Abstract
P-type ATPases extract energy by hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in two steps, formation and breakdown of a covalent phosphoenzyme intermediate. This process drives active transport and countertransport of the cation pumps. We have determined the crystal structure of rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ adenosine triphosphatase in complex with aluminum fluoride, which mimics the transition state of hydrolysis of the counterion-bound (protonated) phosphoenzyme. On the basis of structural analysis and biochemical data, we find this form to represent an occluded state of the proton counterions. Hydrolysis is catalyzed by the conserved Thr-Gly-Glu-Ser motif, and it exploits an associative nucleophilic reaction mechanism of the same type as phosphoryl transfer from ATP. On this basis, we propose a general mechanism of occluded transition states of Ca2+ transport and H+ countertransport coupled to phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, respectively.

Abstract
The consequences of mutations Ile(265) --> Ala, Thr(267) --> Ala, Gly(271) --> Ala, and Gly(274) --> Ala for the partial reaction steps of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase transport cycle were analyzed. The mutated residues are part of the long loop ("A-M3 linker") connecting the cytoplasmic A-domain with transmembrane segment M3. It was found that mutation Ile(265) --> Ala displaces the E(1)-E(2) and E(1)P-E(2)P equilibria in favor of E(1)/E(1)P, whereas mutations Thr(267) --> Ala, Gly(271) --> Ala, and Gly(274) --> Ala displace these conformational equilibria in favor of E(2)/E(2)P. The mutations affect both the rearrangement of the cytoplasmic domains (seen by changes in phosphoenzyme properties and apparent ATP/vanadate affinities) and the membrane sector (indicated by change in K(+)/Rb(+) deocclusion rate). Destabilization of E(2)/E(2)P in Ile(265) --> Ala, as well as a direct effect on the intrinsic affinity of the E(2) form for vanadate, may be explained on the basis of the E(2) crystal structures of the Ca(2+)-ATPase, showing interaction of the equivalent isoleucine with conserved residues near the catalytic region of the P-domain. The rate of phosphorylation from ATP was unaffected in Ile(265) --> Ala, indicating a lack of interference with the catalytic function in E(1)/E(1)P. The effects of mutations Thr(267) --> Ala, Gly(271) --> Ala, and Gly(274) --> Ala provide the first evidence in the literature of a relative stabilization of E(2)/E(2)P resulting from perturbation of the A-M3 linker region. These mutations may lead to increased strain of the A-M3 linker in E(1)/E(1)P, increased stability of the A3 helix of the A-M3 linker in E(2)/E(2)P, and/or a change of the orientation of the A3 helix, facilitating its interaction with the P-domain.

Abstract
Point mutants with alterations to amino acid residues Thr(247), Pro(248), Glu(340), Asp(813), Arg(819), and Arg(822) of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase were analyzed by transient kinetic measurements. In the Ca(2+)-ATPase crystal structures, most of these residues participate in a hydrogen-bonding network between the phosphorylation domain (domain P), the third transmembrane helix (M3), and the cytoplasmic loop connecting the sixth and the seventh transmembrane helices (L6-7). In several of the mutants, a pronounced phosphorylation "overshoot" was observed upon reaction of the Ca(2+)-bound enzyme with ATP, because of accumulation of dephosphoenzyme at steady state. Mutations of Glu(340) and its partners, Thr(247) and Arg(822), in the bonding network markedly slowed the Ca(2+) binding transition (E2 --> E1 --> Ca(2)E1) as well as Ca(2+) dissociation from Ca(2+) site II back toward the cytosol but did not affect the apparent affinity for vanadate. These mutations may have caused a slowing, in both directions, of the conformational change associated directly with Ca(2+) interaction at Ca(2+) site II. Because mutation of Asp(813) inhibited the Ca(2+) binding transition, but not Ca(2+) dissociation, and increased the apparent affinity for vanadate, the effect on the Ca(2+) binding transition seems in this case to be exerted by slowing the E2 --> E1 conformational change. Because the rate was not significantly enhanced by a 10-fold increase of the Ca(2+) concentration, the slowing is not the consequence of reduced affinity of any pre-binding site for Ca(2+). Furthermore, the mutations interfered in specific ways with the phosphoenzyme processing steps of the transport cycle; the transition from ADP-sensitive phosphoenzyme to ADP-insensitive phosphoenzyme (Ca(2)E1P --> E2P) was accelerated by mutations perturbing the interactions mediated by Glu(340) and Asp(813) and inhibited by mutation of Pro(248), and mutations of Thr(247) induced charge-specific changes of the rate of dephosphorylation of E2P.

Abstract
P-type ion transporting ATPases are ATP-powered ion pumps that establish ion concentration gradients across biological membranes. Transfer of bound cations to the lumenal or extracellular side occurs while the ATPase is phosphorylated. Here we report at 2.3 A resolution the structure of the calcium-ATPase of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum, a representative P-type ATPase that is crystallized in the absence of Ca2+ but in the presence of magnesium fluoride, a stable phosphate analogue. This and other crystal structures determined previously provide atomic models for all four principal states in the reaction cycle. These structures show that the three cytoplasmic domains rearrange to move six out of ten transmembrane helices, thereby changing the affinity of the Ca2+-binding sites and the gating of the ion pathway. Release of ADP triggers the opening of the lumenal gate and release of phosphate its closure, effected mainly through movement of the A-domain, the actuator of transmembrane gates.

Abstract
K+ plays an important role for the function of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+ -ATPase (SERCA), but its binding site within the molecule has remained unidentified. We have located the binding site for a K+ ion in the P-domain by means of x-ray crystallography using crystals prepared in the presence of the K+ congener Rb+. Backbone carbonyls from the loop containing residues 711-715 together with the side chain of Glu732 define the K+/Rb+ site in the Ca2+ -ATPase conformation with bound Ca2+, ADP, and AlF4-. Functional analysis of Ca2+ -ATPase mutants with alterations to Glu732 shows that this site is indeed important for the stimulatory effect of K+ on the dephosphorylation rate. Comparison with the Ca2+ -ATPase in a dephosphorylated E2 conformation suggests that the K+ site is involved in the correct movement and positioning of the A-domain during translocation and dephosphorylation.

Abstract
Copper transport by the P(1)-ATPase ATP7B, or Wilson disease protein (WNDP),1 is essential for human metabolism. Perturbation of WNDP function causes intracellular copper accumulation and severe pathology, known as Wilson disease (WD). Several WD mutations are clustered within the WNDP nucleotide-binding domain (N-domain), where they are predicted to disrupt ATP binding. The mechanism by which the N-domain coordinates ATP is presently unknown, because residues important for nucleotide binding in the better characterized P(2)-ATPases are not conserved within the P(1)-ATPase subfamily. To gain insight into nucleotide binding under normal and disease conditions, we generated the recombinant WNDP N-domain and several WD mutants. Using isothermal titration calorimetry, we demonstrate that the N-domain binds ATP in a Mg(2+)-independent manner with a relatively high affinity of 75 microm, compared with millimolar affinities observed for the P(2)-ATPase N-domains. The WNDP N-domain shows minimal discrimination between ATP, ADP, and AMP, yet discriminates well between ATP and GTP. Similar results were obtained for the N-domain of ATP7A, another P(1)-ATPase. Mutations of the invariant WNDP residues E1064A and H1069Q drastically reduce nucleotide affinities, pointing to the likely role of these residues in nucleotide coordination. In contrast, the R1151H mutant exhibits only a 1.3-fold reduction in affinity for ATP. The C1104F mutation significantly alters protein folding, whereas C1104A does not affect the structure or function of the N-domain. Together, the results directly demonstrate the phenotypic diversity of WD mutations within the N-domain and indicate that the nucleotide-binding properties of the P(1)-ATPases are distinct from those of the P(2)-ATPases.

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.
