Abstract
The affinity for K+ of silkworm nerve Na+/K+-ATPase is markedly lower than that of mammalian Na+/K+-ATPase (Homareda 2010). In order to obtain clues on the molecular basis of the difference in K+ affinities, we cloned cDNAs of silkworm (Bombyx mori) nerve Na+/K+-ATPase α and β subunits, and analyzed the deduced amino acid sequences. The molecular masses of the α and β subunits were presumed to be 111.5 kDa with ten transmembrane segments and 37.7 kDa with a single transmembrane segment, respectively. The α subunit showed 75% identity and 93% homology with the pig Na+/K+-ATPase α1 subunit. On the other hand, the amino acid identity of the β subunit with mammalian counterparts was as low as 30%. Cloned α and β cDNAs were co-expressed in cultured silkworm ovary-derived cells, BM-N cells, which lack endogenous Na+/K+-ATPase. Na+/K+-ATPase expressed in the cultured cells showed a low affinity for K+ and a high affinity for Na+, characteristic of the silkworm nerve Na+/K+-ATPase. These results suggest that the β subunit is responsible for the affinity for K+ of Na+/K+-ATPase.

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2013; 65:32-47.

Abstract
The Plant Ca(2+)ATPases are members of the P-type ATPase superfamily and play essential roles in pollen tube growth, vegetative development, inflorescence architecture, stomatal opening or closing as well as transport of Ca(2+), Mn(2+) and Zn(2+). Their role in abiotic stress adaptation by activation of different signaling pathways is emerging. In Arabidopsis, the P-type Ca(2+)ATPases can be classified in two distinct groups: type IIA (ECA) and type IIB (ACA). The availability of rice genome sequence allowed performing a genome-wide search for P-type Ca(2+)ATPases proteins, and the comparison of the identified proteins with their homologs in Arabidopsis model plant. In the present study, we identified the P-type II Ca(2+)ATPases from rice by analyzing their phylogenetic relationship, multiple alignment, cis-regulatory elements, protein domains, motifs and homology percentage. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that rice type IIA Ca(2+)ATPases clustered with Arabidopsis type IIA Ca(2+)ATPases and showed high sequence similarity within the group, whereas rice type IIB Ca(2+)ATPases presented variable sequence similarities with Arabidopsis type IIB members. The protein homology modeling, identification of putative transmembrane domains and conserved motifs of rice P-type II Ca(2+)ATPases provided information on their functions and structural architecture. The analysis of P-type II Ca(2+)ATPases promoter regions in rice showed multiple stress-induced cis-acting elements. The expression profile analysis indicated vital roles of P-type II Ca(2+)ATPases in stress signaling, plant development and abiotic stress responses. The comprehensive analysis and expression profiling provided a critical platform for functional characterization of P-type II Ca(2+)ATPase genes that could be applied in engineering crop plants with modified calcium signaling and homeostatic pathways.

Abstract
The activity of P-type plasma membrane H(+)-ATPases is modulated by H(+) and cations, with K(+) and Ca(2+) being of physiological relevance. Using X-ray crystallography, we have located the binding site for Rb(+) as a K(+) congener, and for Tb(3+) and Ho(3+) as Ca(2+) congeners. Rb(+) is found coordinated by a conserved aspartate residue in the phosphorylation domain. A single Tb(3+) ion is identified positioned in the nucleotide-binding domain in close vicinity to the bound nucleotide. Ho(3+) ions are coordinated at two distinct sites within the H(+)-ATPase: One site is at the interface of the nucleotide-binding and phosphorylation domains, and the other is in the transmembrane domain toward the extracellular side. The identified binding sites are suggested to represent binding pockets for regulatory cations and a H(+) binding site for protons leaving the pump molecule. This implicates Ho(3+) as a novel chemical tool for identification of proton binding sites.

Abstract
Endogenous cardiotonic steroids (CTS), also called digitalis-like factors, have been postulated to play important roles in health and disease for nearly half a century. Recent discoveries, which include the specific identification of endogenous cardenolide (endogenous ouabain) and bufadienolide (marinobufagenin) CTS in humans along with the delineation of an alternative mechanism by which CTS can signal through the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase, have increased the interest in this field substantially. Although CTS were first considered important in the regulation of renal sodium transport and arterial pressure, more recent work implicates these hormones in the regulation of cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, and fibrosis, the modulation of immunity and of carbohydrate metabolism, and the control of various central nervous functions and even behavior. This review focuses on the physiological interactions between CTS and other regulatory systems that may be important in the pathophysiology of essential hypertension, preeclampsia, end-stage renal disease, congestive heart failure, and diabetes mellitus. Based on our increasing understanding of the regulation of CTS as well as the molecular mechanisms of these hormone increases, we also discuss potential therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Sodium pump was the first ion pump discovered. A member of the family of active transporters that catalyze adenosine 5'-triphosphate hydrolysis by forming a phosphorylated enzyme intermediate, sodium pump couples the energy released to unequal countertransport of sodium and potassium ions. The ion gradient generated by the pump is important for a variety of secondary physiological processes ranging from metabolite transport to electrical excitation of nerve and muscle. Selected experiments relating structure to function are reviewed.

Abstract
The structure of the N-domain of porcine alpha(2) Na,K-ATPase was determined crystallographically to 3.2A resolution by isomorphous heavy-atom replacement using a single mercury derivative. The structure was finally refined against 2.6A resolution synchrotron data. The domain forms a seven-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet with two additional beta-strands forming a hairpin and five alpha-helices. Approximately 75% of the residues were superimposable with residues from the structure of Ca-ATPase N-domain, and a structure-based sequence alignment is presented. The positions of key residues are discussed in relation to the pattern of hydrophobicity, charge and sequence conservation of the molecular surface. The structure of a hexahistidine tag binding to nickel ions is presented.

Abstract
A highly conserved amino acid sequence 442GDASE446 in the ATP binding pocket of rat Na/K-ATPase was mutated, and the resulting proteins, G442A, G442P, D443A, S445A, and E446A, were expressed in HeLa cells to investigate the effect of individual ligands on Na/K-ATPase. The apparent Km for the high and low affinity ATP effects was estimated by ATP concentration dependence for the formation of the Na-dependent phosphoenzyme (Kmh) and Na/K-ATPase activity (Kml). The apparent Km for p-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPP) for K-dependent-pNPPase (KmP) and its inhibition by ATP (Ki,0.5) and the apparent Km for Mg2+, Na+, K+, and vanadate in Na/K-ATPase were also estimated. For all the mutants, the value for ATP was approximately 2-10-fold larger than that of the wild type. While the turnover number for Na/K-ATPase activity were unaffected or reduced by 20 approximately 50% in mutants G442(A/P) and D443A. Although both affinities for ATP effects were reduced as a result of the mutations, the ratio, Kml Kmh, for each mutant was 1.3 approximately 3.7, indicating that these mutations had a greater impact on the low affinity ATP effect than on the high affinity effect. Each KmP value with the turnover number suggests that these mutations favor the binding of pNPP over that of ATP. These data and others indicate that the sequence 442GDASE446 in the ATP binding pocket is an important motif that it is involved in both the high and low affinity ATP effects rather than in free Mg2+, Na+, and K+ effects.

Abstract
The Menkes protein (ATP7A; MNK) is a ubiquitous human copper-translocating P-type ATPase and it has a key role in regulating copper homeostasis. Previously we characterised fundamental steps in the catalytic cycle of the Menkes protein. In this study we analysed the role of several conserved regions of the Menkes protein, particularly within the putative cytosolic ATP-binding domain. The results of catalytic studies have indicated an important role of 1086His in catalysis. Our findings provide a biochemical explanation for the most common Wilson disease-causing mutation (H1069Q in the homologous Wilson copper-translocating P-type ATPase). Furthermore, we have identified a unique role of 1230Asp, within the DxxK motif, in coupling ATP binding and acylphosphorylation with copper translocation. Finally, we found that the Menkes protein mutants with significantly reduced catalytic activity can still undergo copper-regulated exocytosis, suggesting that only the complete loss of catalytic activity prevents copper-regulated trafficking of the Menkes protein.

Abstract
To investigate the relationship between the high and the low affinity ATP-binding site, which appears during the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase reaction, four amino acids were mutated, the side chains of which are exposed to inside of the ATP-binding pocket. Six mutants, F475Y, K480A, K480E, K501A, K501E, and R544A, where the numbers correspond to the pig Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase alpha-chain, were expressed in HeLa cells. The apparent affinities were determined by high affinity ATP-dependent phosphorylation and by the low affinity activation of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase or low affinity ATP inhibition of K(+)-para-nitrophenylphosphatase (pNPPase). For the mutants K480A and K501A, little affinity change was detected for either the high affinity or the low affinity effect. In contrast, the other four mutants reduced both apparent affinities. Strikingly, R544A had a 30-fold greater effect on the high affinity ATP site than the low affinity site. For the F475Y mutant, it is likely that there was a greater effect on the low affinity site than the high affinity site, but for both F475Y and K480E the affinity for the low affinity ATP effect was reduced so much that it was not possible to estimate a K(0.5). However, both the affinities for the K480E were reduced to approximately 1/20. The turnover number of the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase and the apparent affinity for Na(+) and pNPP was reduced slightly or not at all for these mutants, but the turnover number of K(+)-pNPPase and the apparent affinity for K(+) were increased. These and other data suggest the presence of only one ATP-binding site, which can change its conformation to accept ATP with a high and low affinity. The requirement of Arg-544 and possibly Lys-501 is more important in forming a high affinity ATP binding conformation, and Phe-475 and possibly Lys-480 are more important in forming the low affinity ATP binding conformation.

Abstract
Human Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase alpha(1)beta(1), alpha(2)beta(1), and alpha(3)beta(1) heterodimers were expressed individually in yeast, and ouabain binding and ATP hydrolysis were measured in membrane fractions. The ouabain equilibrium dissociation constant was 13-17 nM for alpha(1)beta(1) and alpha(3)beta(1) at 37 degrees C and 32 nM for alpha(2)beta(1), indicating that the human alpha-subunit isoforms have a similar high affinity for cardiac glycosides. K(0.5) values for antagonism of ouabain binding by K(+) were ranked in order as follows: alpha(2) (6.3 +/- 2.4 mM) > alpha(3) (1.6 +/- 0.5 mM) approximately alpha(1) (0.9 +/- 0.6 mM), and K(0.5) values for Na(+) antagonism of ouabain binding to all heterodimers were 9.5-13.8 mM. The molecular turnover for ATP hydrolysis by alpha(1)beta(1) (6,652 min(-1)) was about twice as high as that by alpha(3)beta(1) (3,145 min(-1)). These properties of the human heterodimers expressed in yeast are in good agreement with properties of the human Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase expressed in Xenopus oocytes (G Crambert, U Hasler, AT Beggah, C Yu, NN Modyanov, J-D Horisberger, L Lelievie, and K Geering. J Biol Chem 275: 1976-1986, 2000). In contrast to Na(+) pumps expressed in Xenopus oocytes, the alpha(2)beta(1) complex in yeast membranes was significantly less stable than alpha(1)beta(1) or alpha(3)beta(1), resulting in a lower functional expression level. The alpha(2)beta(1) complex was also more easily denatured by SDS than was the alpha(1)beta(1) or the alpha(3)beta(1) complex.

Abstract
The crystal structure of SERCA1a (skeletal-muscle sarcoplasmic-reticulum/endoplasmic-reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase) has recently been determined at 2.6 A (note 1 A = 0.1 nm) resolution [Toyoshima, Nakasako, Nomura and Ogawa (2000) Nature (London) 405, 647-655]. Other P-type ATPases are thought to share key features of the ATP hydrolysis site and a central core of transmembrane helices. Outside of these most-conserved segments, structural similarities are less certain, and predicted transmembrane topology differs between subclasses. In the present review the homologous regions of several representative P-type ATPases are aligned with the SERCA sequence and mapped on to the SERCA structure for comparison. Homology between SERCA and the Na,K-ATPase is more extensive than with any other ATPase, even PMCA, the Ca(2+)-ATPase of plasma membrane. Structural features of the Na,K-ATPase are projected on to the Ca(2+)-ATPase crystal structure to assess the likelihood that they share the same fold. Homology extends through all ten transmembrane spans, and most insertions and deletions are predicted to be at the surface. The locations of specific residues are examined, such as proteolytic cleavage sites, intramolecular cross-linking sites, and the binding sites of certain other proteins. On the whole, the similarity supports a shared fold, with some particular exceptions.

Abstract
The stalk segments of P-type ion-translocating enzymes are presumed to play important roles in energy coupling. In this work, stalk segments S4 and S5 of the yeast H(+)-ATPase were examined for helical character, optimal length, and segment orientation by a combination of proline substitution, insertion/deletion mutagenesis, and second-site suppressor analyses. The substitution of various residues for helix-disrupting proline in both S4 (L353P,L353G; A354P; and G371P) and S5 (D676P and I684P) resulted in highly defective or inactive enzymes supporting the importance of helical character and/or the maintenance of essential interactions. The contiguous helical nature of transmembrane segment M5 and stalk element S5 was explored and found to be favorable, although not essential. The deletion or addition of one or more amino acids at positions Ala(354) in S4 and Asp(676) in S5, which were intended to either rotate helical faces or extend/reduce the length of helical segments, resulted in enzyme destabilization that abolished most enzyme assembly. Second-site suppressor mutations were obtained to primary site mutations G371A (S4) and D676G (S5) and were analyzed with a molecular structure model of the H(+)-ATPase. Primary site mutations were predicted to alter the site of phosphorylation either directly or indirectly. The suppressor mutations either directly changed packing around the primary site or altered the environment of the site of phosphorylation. Overall, these data support the view that stalk segments S4 and S5 of the H(+)-ATPase are helical elements that are optimized for length and interactions with other stalk elements and can influence the phosphorylation domain.

Abstract
The focus of this article is on progress in establishing structure-function relationships through site-directed mutagenesis and direct binding assay of Tl(+), Rb(+), K(+), Na(+), Mg(2+) or free ATP at equilibrium in Na,K-ATPase. Direct binding may identify residues coordinating cations in the E(2)[2K] or E(1)P[3Na] forms of the ping-pong reaction sequence and allow estimates of their contributions to the change of Gibbs free energy of binding. This is required to understand the molecular basis for the pronounced Na/K selectivity at the cytoplasmic and extracellular surfaces. Intramembrane Glu(327) in transmembrane segment M4, Glu(779) in M5, Asp(804) and Asp(808) in M6 are essential for tight binding of K(+) and Na(+). Asn(324) and Glu(327) in M4, Thr(774), Asn(776), and Glu(779) in 771-YTLTSNIPEITP of M5 contribute to Na(+)/K(+) selectivity. Free ATP binding identifies Arg(544) as essential for high affinity binding of ATP or ADP. In the 708-TGDGVND segment, mutations of Asp(710) or Asn(713) do not interfere with free ATP binding. Asp(710) is essential and Asn(713) is important for coordination of Mg(2+) in the E(1)P[3Na] complex, but they do not contribute to Mg(2+) binding in the E(2)P-ouabain complex. Transition to the E(2)P form involves a shift of Mg(2+) coordination away from Asp(710) and Asn(713) and the two residues become more important for hydrolysis of the acyl phosphate bond at Asp(369).

Abstract
The segment (708)TGDGVNDSPALKK(720) in the alpha-subunit P domain of Na,K-ATPase is highly conserved among cation pumps, but little is known about its role in binding of Mg(2+) or ATP and energy transduction. Here, 11 mutations of polar residues are expressed at reduced temperature in yeast with preserved capacities for high affinity binding of ouabain and ATP, whereas the Thr(708) --> Ser mutation and alterations of Asp(714) abolish all catalytic reactions. In mutations of Asp(710) and Asn(713), ATP affinity is preserved or increased, whereas Na,K-ATPase activity is severely reduced. Assay of phosphorylation from ATP in the presence of oligomycin shows that Asp(710) contributes to coordination of Mg(2+) during transfer of gamma-phosphate to Asp(369) in the high energy Mg.E(1)P[3Na] intermediate and that Asn(713) is involved in these processes. In contrast, Asp(710) and Asp(713) do not contribute to Mg(2+) binding in the E(2)P.ouabain complex. Transition to E(2)P thus involves a shift of Mg(2+) coordination away from Asp(710) and Asn(713), and the two residues become more important for hydrolysis of the acyl phosphate bond at Asp(369). The Asp(710) --> Ala mutation blocks interaction with vanadate, whereas Asn(713) --> Ala interferes with phosphorylation from P(i) of the E(2).ouabain complex, showing that the GDGVND segment is required for stabilization of the transition state and for the phosphorylation reaction. The Asp(710) --> Ala mutation also interferes with transmission of structural changes to the ouabain site and reduces the affinity for binding of Tl(+) 2- to 3-fold, suggesting a role in transmission of K(+) stimulation of phospho-enzyme hydrolysis from transmembrane segment 5 to the P domain.

Abstract
2-[4'-Maleimidylanilino]naphthalene 6-sulfonic acid (MIANS) irreversibly inactivates Na,K-ATPase in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Inactivation is prevented by 3 mM ATP or low K(+) (<1 mM); the protective effect K(+) is reversed at higher concentrations. This biphasic effect was also observed with K(+) congeners. In contrast, Na(+) ions did not protect. MIANS inactivation disrupted high affinity ATP binding. Tryptic fragments of MIANS-labeled protein were analyzed by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography. ATP clearly protected one major labeled peptide peak. This observation was confirmed by separation of tryptic peptides in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealing a single fluorescently-labeled peptide of approximately 5 kDa. N-terminal amino acid sequencing identified the peptide (V(545)LGFCH...). This hydrophobic peptide contains only two Cys residues in all sodium pump alpha-subunit sequences and is found in the major cytoplasmic loop between M4 and M5, a region previously associated with ATP binding. Subsequent digestion of the tryptic peptide with V8 protease and N-terminal amino acid sequencing identified the modified residue as Cys(577). The cation-dependent change in reactivity of Cys(577) implies structural alterations in the ATP-binding domain following cation binding and occlusion in the intramembrane domain of Na,K-ATPase and expands our knowledge of the extent to which cation binding and occlusion are sensed in the ATP hydrolysis domain.

Abstract
The machinery to catalyze elementary reactions is conserved, and the number of solved enzyme structures is increasing exponentially. Therefore, structures of enzymes that catalyze phosphate transfer are reviewed, and a supersecondary structure connecting the Walker A sequence to another sequence containing functional amino acids is proposed as an additional signature for the active site. The new signature is used to infer the identity of the P-loop in P-type biological pumps and may be useful in predicting targets for site-directed mutagenesis in other enzymes of unknown structure like the AAA family and ABC transporters.

Abstract
Treatment of rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase with a variety of proteases, including elastase, proteinase K, and endoproteinases Asp-N and Glu-C, results in accumulation of soluble fragments starting close to the ATPase phosphorylation site Asp351 and ending in the Lys605-Arg615 region, well before the conserved sequences generally described as constituting the "hinge" region of this P-type ATPase (residues 670-760). These fragments, designated as p29/30, presumably originate from a relatively compact domain of the cytoplasmic head of the ATPase. They retain two structural characteristics of intact Ca2+-ATPase as follows: high sensitivity of peptidic bond Arg505-Ala506 to trypsin cleavage, and high reactivity of lysine residue Lys515 toward the fluorescent label fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate. Regarding functional properties, these fragments retain the ability to bind nucleotides, although with reduced affinity compared with intact Ca2+-ATPase. The fragments also bind Nd3+ ions, leaving open the possibility that these fragments could contain the metal-binding site(s) responsible for the inhibitory effect of lanthanide ions on ATPase activity. The p29/30 soluble domain, like similar proteolytic fragments that can be obtained from other P-type ATPases, may be useful for obtaining three-dimensional structural information on the cytosolic portion of these ATPases, with or without bound nucleotides. From our findings we infer that a real hinge region with conformational flexibility is located at the C-terminal boundary of p29/30 (rather than in the conserved region of residues 670-760); we also propose that the ATP-binding cleft is mainly located within the p29/30 domain, with the phosphorylation site strategically located at the N-terminal border of this domain.
