Elongation and Contraction of Scallop Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR): ATP Stabilizes Ca 2+-ATPase Crystalline Array Elongation of SR Vesicles. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23063311.

Abstract
The Ca2+-ATPase is an integral transmembrane Ca2+ pump of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Crystallization of the cytoplasmic surface ATPase molecules of isolated scallop SR vesicles was studied at various calcium concentrations by negative stain electron microscopy. In the absence of ATP, round SR vesicles displaying an assembly of small crystalline patches of ATPase molecules were observed at 18 µM [Ca2+]. These partly transformed into tightly elongated vesicles containing ATPase crystalline arrays at low [Ca2+] (≤1.3 µM). The arrays were classified as ‘’tetramer’’, “two-rail” (like a railroad) and ‘’monomer’’. Their crystallinity was low, and they were unstable. In the presence of ATP (5 mM) at a low [Ca2+] of ~0.002 µM, “two-rail” arrays of high crystallinity appeared more frequently in the tightly elongated vesicles and the distinct tetramer arrays disappeared. During prolonged (~2.5 h) incubation, ATP was consumed and tetramer arrays reappeared. A specific ATPase inhibitor, thapsigargin, prevented both crystal formation and vesicle elongation in the presence of ATP. Together with the second part of this study, these data suggest that the ATPase forms tetramer units and longer tetramer crystalline arrays to elongate SR vesicles, and that the arrays transform into more stable “two-rail” forms in the presence of ATP at low [Ca2+].

Abstract
This work is an experimental and theoretical study of electrostatic and hydrodynamic properties of the surface of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membrane using particle electrophoresis. The essential structural components of SR membrane include a lipid matrix and a dense layer of Ca(2+)-ATPases embedded in the matrix. The Ca(2+)-ATPase layer both drives and impedes vesicle mobility. To analyze the experimental mobility data, obtained at pH4.0, 4.7, 5.0, 6.0, 7.5, and 9.0 in 0.1M monovalent (1:1) electrolyte, an analytical solution for the vesicle mobility and electroosmotic flow velocity distribution was obtained by solving the Poisson-Boltzmann and the Navier-Stokes-Brinkman equations. The electrophoretic mobility model includes two sets of charges that represent: (a) charged lipids of the lipid matrix of the vesicle core, and (b) charged amino acid residues of APN domains of Ca(2+)-ATPases. APN domains are assumed to form a charged plane displaced from the surface of lipid matrix. The charged plane is embedded in a frictional layer that represents the surface layer of calcium pumps. Electrophoretic mobility is driven by the charged APN domain and by lipid matrix while the surface layer provides hydrodynamic friction. The charge of APN domain is determined by ionized amino acid residues obtained from the amino acid composition of SERCA1a Ca(2+)-ATPase. Agreement between the measured and the predicted mobility is evaluated by the weighted sum of mobility deviation squared. This model reproduces the experimental dependence of mobility on pH and predicts that APN domains are located in the upper half of the SR vesicle surface layer.

Abstract
The open reading frame rv1364c of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which regulates the stress-dependent σ factor, σ(F), has been analyzed structurally and functionally. Rv1364c contains domains with sequence similarity to the RsbP/RsbW/RsbV regulatory system of the stress-response σ factor of Bacillus subtilis. Rv1364c contains, sequentially, a PAS domain (which shows sequence similarity to the PAS domain of the B. subtilis RsbP protein), an active phosphatase domain, a kinase (anti-σ(F) like) domain and a C-terminal anti-σ(F) antagonist like domain. The crystal structures of two PAS domain constructs (at 2.3 and 1.6 Å) and a phosphatase/kinase dual domain construct (at 2.6 Å) are described. The PAS domain is shown to bind palmitic acid but to have 100 times greater affinity for palmitoleic acid. The full-length protein can exist in solution as both monomer and dimer. We speculate that a switch between monomer and dimer, possibly resulting from fatty acid binding, affects the accessibility of the serine of the C-terminal, anti-σ(F) antagonist domain for dephosphorylation by the phosphatase domain thus indirectly altering the availability of σ(F).

Abstract
A Pb-mine site situated on acidic soil, but comprising of Ca-enriched islands around derelict buildings was used to study the spatial pattern of genetic diversity in Lumbricus rubellus. Two distinct genetic lineages ('A' and 'B'), differentiated at both the mitochondrial (mtDNA COII) and nuclear level (AFLPs) were revealed with a mean inter-lineage mtDNA sequence divergence of approximately 13%, indicative of a cryptic species complex. AFLP analysis indicates that lineage A individuals within one central 'ecological island' site are uniquely clustered, with little genetic overlap with lineage A individuals at the two peripheral sites. FTIR microspectroscopy of Pb-sequestering chloragocytes revealed different phosphate profiles in residents of adjacent acidic and calcareous islands. Bioinformatics found over-representation of Ca pathway genes in EST(Pb) libraries. Subsequent sequencing of a Ca-transport gene, SERCA, revealed mutations in the protein's cytosolic domain. We recommend the mandatory genotyping of all individuals prior to field-based ecotoxicological assays, particularly those using discriminating genomic technologies.

Abstract
Estivation (aerobic dormancy) is characterized by sustained metabolic rate depression, which is crucial to survival in the face of unfavorable environmental conditions and enables the preservation of endogenous fuel reserves. Ion pumping is one of the most energetically taxing physiological processes in cells, and ion motive ATPases are likely loci to be differentially regulated in models of metabolic arrest. We proposed that the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum (SER) calcium-ATPase (SERCA) would be deactivated in the estivating desert snail Otala lactea, potentially contributing to the overall suppression of metabolism. SERCA kinetic parameters [decreased maximal velocities, increased substrate K (m) values, increased Arrhenius activation energy (E (a))] were indicative of a less active enzyme in the estivated state. Interestingly, the less active SERCA population in dormant snails featured greater kinetic (K (m) Mg.ATP versus temperature) and conformational (resistance to urea denaturation) stability than that in active snails. Western blotting confirmed that SERCA protein content did not change during estivation. In light of this observation, we proposed that estivation-dependent changes in SERCA activity was due to changes in SERCA phosphorylation state. In vitro studies promoting specific kinase or phosphatase action indicated that decreased SERCA activity in estivation was linked with endogenous kinase activity whereas reactivation of SERCA was facilitated by endogenous protein phosphatases (PP).

Abstract
Sequencing of the scallop muscle Na+/Ca2+ exchanger revealed three consensus sequences for phosphorylation by PK-A in the large cytoplasmic loop (R(363)KLTG, R(379)RASV, and R(618)RGSV). Site-directed mutagenesis of the expressed Glu(384)-Ser(713) segment of the f loop identified Ser(621)as a residue phosphorylated by PK-A. The R(618)RGSV sequence is located at the junction of the mutually exclusive exon and exon 9, a site where many alternatively spliced variants of vertebrate NCX1 and NCX3 are generated. Phosphorylation of Ser(621) by PK-A in the isolated Glu(384)-Ser(713) peptide was blocked under conditions where Ca2+ was bound.

Abstract
A mutation (Cam7) to the single endogenous calmodulin gene of Drosophila generates a mutant protein with valine 91 changed to glycine (V91G D-CaM). This mutation produces a unique pupal lethal phenotype distinct from that of a null mutation. Genetic studies indicate that the phenotype reflects deregulation of calcium fluxes within the larval muscles, leading to hypercontraction followed by muscle failure. We investigated the biochemical properties of V91G D-CaM. The effects of the mutation on free CaM are minor: Calcium binding, and overall secondary and tertiary structure are indistinguishable from those of wild type. A slight destabilization of the C-terminal domain is detectable in the calcium-free (apo-) form, and the calcium-bound (holo-) form has a somewhat lower surface hydrophobicity. These findings reinforce the indications from the in vivo work that interaction with a specific CaM target(s) underlies the mutant defects. In particular, defective regulation of ryanodine receptor (RyR) channels was indicated by genetic interaction analysis. Studies described here establish that the putative CaM binding region of the Drosophila RyR (D-RyR) binds wild-type D-CaM comparably to the equivalent CaM-RyR interactions seen for the mammalian skeletal muscle RyR channel isoform (RYR1). The V91G mutation weakens the interaction of both apo- and holo-D-CaM with this binding region, and decreases the enhancement of the calcium-binding affinity of CaM that is detectable in the presence of the RyR target peptide. The predicted functional consequences of these changes are consonant with the in vivo phenotype, and indicate that D-RyR is one, if not the major, target affected by the V91G mutation in CaM.

Abstract
We have studied lethal mutations in the single calmodulin gene (Cam) of Drosophila to gain insight into the in vivo functions of this important calcium sensor. As a result of maternal calmodulin (CaM) in the mature egg, lethality is delayed until the postembryonic stages. Prior to death in the first larval instar, Cam nulls show a striking behavioral abnormality (spontaneous backward movement) whereas a mutation, Cam7, that results in a single amino acid change (V91G) produces a very different phenotype: short indented pupal cases and pupal death with head eversion defects. We show here that the null behavioral phenotype originates in the nervous system and involves a CaM function that requires calcium binding to all four sites of the protein. Further, backward movement can be induced in hypomorphic mutants by exposure to high light levels. In contrast, the V91G mutation specifically affects the musculature and causes abnormal calcium release in response to depolarization of the muscles. Genetic interaction studies suggest that failed regulation of the muscle calcium release channel, the ryanodine receptor, is the major defect underlying the Cam7 phenotype.

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
Digestion of scallop muscle membrane fractions with trypsin led to release of soluble polypeptides derived from the large cytoplasmic domain of a Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger. In the presence of 1 mm Ca(2+), the major product was a peptide of approximately 37 kDa, with an N terminus corresponding to residue 401 of the NCX1 exchanger. In the presence of 10 mm EGTA, approximately 16- and approximately 19-kDa peptides were the major products. Polyclonal rabbit IgG raised against the 37-kDa peptide also bound to the 16- and 19-kDa soluble tryptic peptides and to a 105-110-kDa polypeptide in the undigested membrane preparation. The 16-kDa fragment corresponded to the N-terminal part of the 37-kDa peptide. The conformation of the precursor polypeptide chain in the region of the C terminus of the 16-kDa tryptic peptide was thus altered by the binding of Ca(2+). Phosphorylation of the parent membranes with the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A and [gamma-(32)P]ATP led to incorporation of (32)P into the 16- and 37-kDa soluble fragments. A site may exist within the Ca(2+) regulatory domain of a scallop muscle Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger that mediates direct modulation of secondary Ca(2+) regulation by cAMP.
