Abstract
The aim of this work was to study the plasma membrane calcium pump (PMCA) reaction cycle by characterizing conformational changes associated with calcium, ATP, and vanadate binding to purified PMCA. This was accomplished by studying the exposure of PMCA to surrounding phospholipids by measuring the incorporation of the photoactivatable phosphatidylcholine analog 1-O-hexadecanoyl-2-O-[9-[[[2-[(125)I]iodo-4-(trifluoromethyl-3H-diazirin-3-yl)benzyl]oxy]carbonyl]nonanoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine to the protein. ATP could bind to the different vanadate-bound states of the enzyme either in the presence or in the absence of Ca(2+) with high apparent affinity. Conformational movements of the ATP binding domain were determined using the fluorescent analog 2'(3')-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)adenosine 5'-triphosphate. To assess the conformational behavior of the Ca(2+) binding domain, we also studied the occlusion of Ca(2+), both in the presence and in the absence of ATP and with or without vanadate. Results show the existence of occluded species in the presence of vanadate and/or ATP. This allowed the development of a model that describes the transport of Ca(2+) and its relation with ATP hydrolysis. This is the first approach that uses a conformational study to describe the PMCA P-type ATPase reaction cycle, adding important features to the classical E1-E2 model devised using kinetics methodology only.

Abstract
The mechanism of ATP modulation of E2P dephosphorylation of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase wild type and mutant forms was examined in nucleotide binding studies of states analogous to the various intermediates of the dephosphorylation reaction, obtained by binding of metal fluorides, vanadate, or thapsigargin. Wild type Ca(2+)-ATPase displays an ATP affinity of 4 μM for the E2P ground state analog, 1 μM for the E2P transition state and product state analogs, and 11 μM for the E2 dephosphoenzyme. Hence, ATP binding stabilizes the transition and product states relative to the ground state, thereby explaining the accelerating effect of ATP on dephosphorylation. Replacement of Phe(487) (N-domain) with serine, Arg(560) (N-domain) with leucine, or Arg(174) (A-domain) with alanine or glutamate reduces ATP affinity in all E2/E2P intermediate states. Alanine substitution of Ile(188) (A-domain) increases the ATP affinity, although ATP acceleration of dephosphorylation is disrupted, thus indicating that the critical role of Ile(188) in ATP modulation is mechanistically based rather than being associated with the binding of nucleotide. Mutants with alanine replacement of Lys(205) (A-domain) or Glu(439) (N-domain) exhibit an anomalous inhibition by ATP of E2P dephosphorylation, due to ATP binding increasing the stability of the E2P ground state relative to the transition state. The ATP affinity of Ca(2)E2P, stabilized by inserting four glycines in the A-M1 linker, is similar to that of the E2P ground state, but the Ca(2+)-free E1 state of this mutant exhibits 3 orders of magnitude reduction of ATP affinity.

Abstract
A reaction cycle for electron-transportdriven proton pumps is proposed. It includes two distinct conformational states of the pump protein in which the primary electron acceptor has different reduction potentials. This has as an unavoidable consequence that the steady-state rate equation for the catalytic reaction driving the pump is nonhyperbolic. The model can be used to simulate experimental results for the kinetics of cytochrome oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) in a wide range of experimental conditions (ionic strength, pH, temperature). It is thus not necessary to invoke more than one binding site for cytochrome c to account for the biphasic response of the oxidase activity to the concentration of this substrate.

Abstract
Kinetic and regulatory properties of the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase activity from chicken (nucleated) erythrocytes were studied and compared to those from pig (anucleated) erythrocytes. In the absence of known activators: (1) Ca(2+) affinity for the Ca(2+)-ATPase activity from nucleated erythrocytes was 12-fold higher than that from pig erythrocytes, and thus the enzyme is sensitive to physiological Ca(2+) concentrations; (2) the enzyme from chicken erythrocytes showed two apparent Km values for ATP, as compared to one apparent Km value displayed by pig erythrocytes; (3) Ca(2+)-ATPase inserted in chicken erythrocyte membranes showed a low sensitivity to activation by phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate; (4) when p-NPP was used as substrate, the activity of chicken erythrocytes was high, similar to that attained by pig erythrocytes, but barely sensitive to activation by dimethylsulfoxide and calmodulin. ATP hydrolysis was 10-fold lower than that displayed by pig erythrocytes and the maximal velocity was activated three-fold by calmodulin. The enzyme was insensitive to alkaline phosphatase treatment and showed a single phosphorylation band in electrophoresis, ruling out the possibility of previous modulation by endogenous kinases and/or by partial proteolysis. The differences may be attributed to some endogenous modulator, to distinct isoforms, or to a difference in the E(1)/E(2) states of the enzyme.

Abstract
3-O-methylfluorescein phosphate hydrolysis, catalyzed by purified erythrocyte Ca2+-ATPase in the absence of Ca2+, was slow in the basal state, activated by phosphatidylserine and controlled proteolysis, but not by calmodulin. p-Nitrophenyl phosphate competitively inhibits hydrolysis in the absence of Ca2+, while ATP inhibits it with a complex kinetics showing a high and a low affinity site for ATP. Labeling with fluorescein isothiocyanate impairs the high affinity binding of ATP, but does not appreciably modify the binding of any of the pseudosubstrates. In the presence of calmodulin, an increase in the Ca2+ concentration produces a bell-shaped curve with a maximum at 50 microM Ca2+. At optimal Ca2+ concentration, hydrolysis of 3-O-methylfluorescein phosphate proceeds in the presence of fluorescein isothiocyanate, is competitively inhibited by p-nitrophenyl phosphate and, in contrast to the result observed in the absence of Ca2+, it is activated by calmodulin. In marked contrast with other pseudosubstrates, hydrolysis of 3-O-methylfluorescein phosphate supports Ca2+ transport. This highly specific activity can be used as a continuous fluorescent marker or as a tool to evaluate partial steps from the reaction cycle of plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPases.

Abstract
The large cytoplasmic domain of rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase was overexpressed in Escherichia coli as a 48 kDa fusion protein, designated p48, containing an N-terminal hexa-His tag. Purification conditions were optimized, thus conferring long-term stability to p48. Circular dichroism spectroscopy and the pattern of limited trypsinolysis confirmed the proper folding of the domain. p48 retained 0.5 +/- 0.1 mol of high affinity 2',3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)adenosine-5'-triphosphate (TNP-ATP) binding sites per mol of polypeptide chain with an apparent dissociation constant of about 8 microM. Size-exclusion FPLC using protein concentrations in the range 0.03 5 mg/ml showed that p48 was essentially monodisperse with apparent molecular mass and Stokes radius (Rs) values compatible with a dimer (100 kDa and 40 A, respectively). Analysis of p48 by small-angle X-ray scattering provided an independent second proof for a dimeric p48 particle with a radius of gyration (Rg) of 39 A, suggesting that the dimer was not spherical (Rs/Rg = 1.026). When digested by proteinase K, p48 was converted to a 30 kDa fragment, designated p30, which was very resistant to further proteolysis. p30 retained high affinity TNP-ATP binding (Kd = 8 microM) and eluted as a monomer (35 kDa) in size-exclusion FPLC. As opposed to p48, the p30 fragment did not react with monoclonal antibody A52 [Clarke et al., J. Biol. Chem. 264 (1989) 11246-11251] which recognizes region E657-R672 located upstream of the hinge domain of the Ca2+-ATPase. These results indicate a requirement of the hinge domain (670-728) region for self-association of the p48 large hydrophilic domain as a dimer. We propose that this behavior points to a possible role of the hinge domain in dimerization of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase in the native membrane.

Abstract
The giant-patch technique was used to study the Na+,K(+)-ATPase in excised patches from rat or guinea pig ventricular myocytes. Na+,K(+)-pump currents showed a saturable ATP dependence with aK(m) of approximately 150 microM at 24 degrees C. The pump current can be completely abolished by ortho-vanadate. Dissociation of vanadate from the enzyme in the absence of extracellular Na+ was slow, with a Koff of 3.10(-4) S-1 (K1 approximately 0.5 microM, at 24 degrees C). Stationary currents were markedly dependent on intracellular pH, with a maximum at pH 7.9. Temperature-dependence measurements of the stationary pump current yielded an activation energy of approximately 100 kJ mol-1. Partial reactions in the transport cycle were investigated by generating ATP concentration jumps through photolytic release of ATP from caged ATP at pH 7.4 and 6.3. Transient outward currents were obtained at pH 6.3 with a fast rising phase followed by a slower decay to a stationary current. It was concluded that the fast rate constant of approximately 200 s-1 at 24 degrees C (pH 6.3) reflects a step rate-limiting the electrogenic Na+ release. Simulating the data with a simple three-state model enabled us to estimate the turnover rate under saturating substrate concentrations, yielding rates (at pH 7.4) of approximately 60 s-1 and 200 s-1 at 24 degrees C and 36 degrees C, respectively.

Abstract
Combining rapid filtration and rapid acid quenching, we have directly measured, at pH 7.0 and 5 degrees C, the association and dissociation rate constants of Mg.ATP binding to the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) ATPase in the presence of 50 microM calcium and 5 mM MgCl2 (3-4 x 10(6) M-1.s-1 and 9 s-1, respectively). Therefore, we have determined the true affinity for Mg.ATP (Kd = 3 microM) in the presence of calcium, which can not be measured at equilibrium because of spontaneous and fast phosphorylation. At low concentrations, Mg.ATP binding is the rate limiting step in the phosphorylation process, and Mg.ATP dissociation is slower than dephosphorylation. The kinetics of Ca2+ binding measured by rapid filtration are biphasic, reflecting a two-step mechanism, both steps being accelerated by Mg.ATP. Combining rapid filtration and rapid monitoring of the intrinsic fluorescence of SR Ca(2+)-ATPase, we showed that rate constants for calcium binding are always lower than those of Mg.ATP binding to an EGTA-incubated enzyme. We measured dissociation and association rate constants of Mg.ATP binding in the absence of calcium (k-1 = 25 s-1 and k1 = 7.5 10(6) M-1.s-1). This gives a Kd similar to that obtained by equilibrium measurements (3-4 microM). Both non-phosphorylated conformations of the enzyme have similar affinity for Mg.ATP. Therefore, activation of ATPase activity by an excess of ATP cannot be explained by a change in affinity of the non-phosphorylated enzyme for Mg.ATP. In conjunction with previous results, these data are used to discuss the molecular mechanism for the Ca(2+)-ATPase cycle, in which ATP is sequentially substrate and activator on a multiple-function single site.

Abstract
The effect of pressure on the hydrolysis of dinitrophenyl phosphate (DnpP) and p-nitrophenyl phosphate (NpP) by the sarcoplasmatic reticulum transport enzyme in permeabilized and native closed vesicles activated by calcium or strontium, respectively, in aqueous and Me2SO-containing media has been studied. At atmospheric pressure, the enzyme in permeabilized vesicles, saturated with respect to substrates and activating ions, hydrolyzes DnpP ten times faster than NpP; for both substrates, calcium activation exceeds that by strontium only a little (20%). In aqueous media the enzyme displays, under all activating conditions, an almost identical curvilinear relationship between the logarithm of enzyme activity and pressure. The data were analysed on the basis of a simplified reaction scheme, in which two unidirectionally proceeding substrate-driven pressure-dependent reactions (k2, k4) cyclically transfer high-affinity into low-affinity binding sites which are assumed to be in equilibrium with either calcium or strontium. The fitting procedure yielded two sets of positive activation volumes delta V2* = 90-110 ml/mol and delta V4* = 15-25 ml/mol. Substrate specificity, as well as the effect of temperature, are exclusively localized in the pressure-independent rate constants k'2 and k'4. Considerable different pressure/activity relations characterized by a single activation volume of 20 ml/mol were obtained for the strongly suppressed substrate hydrolysis of native closed vesicles. At atmospheric pressure DnpP hydrolysis of open vesicles is inhibited by Me2SO, while NpP hydrolysis is considerably activated, irrespective of its activation by calcium or strontium. In the presence of 22.5% Me2SO, the activation volumes are reduced by 50-70 ml/mol. The rate constants of DnpP and NpP hydrolysis are either augmented or reduced by rising Me2SO concentrations, depending on the corresponding supporting substrate. Me2SO has only a slight effect on the pressure dependence of substrate hydrolysis by native vesicles. The small activation volume observed for the activity of native vesicles could be assigned on account of the simplified reaction scheme of the slow reaction step k4, by which the enzyme is transferred from its low-affinity into its high-affinity binding state. Volume changes connected with the binding of calcium or strontium to the luminal binding site of the enzyme were deduced from the observed activation volume and the computed volume change of the slow reaction step (delta V4*).

Abstract
Six cation-dependent transporting ATPases have homologous sequences in the region asigned by chemical labelling to nucleotide binding. Comparison of the most highly conserved segments with other nucleotide-binding domains showed that the sequences were consistent with a mononucleotide-binding fold and enabled a number of likely folding topologies to be limited to two or three alternatives. One of these possible folds was topologically equivalent to adenylate kinase; this was taken as a model in which the significance of conserved amino acids was investigated. In this model conserved amino acids were grouped around a postulated ATP-binding cleft, satisfactorily accounting for their degree of conservation.

Abstract
The steady-state kinetics of cytochrome oxidase exhibit two characteristics that impose severe constraints on any proposed mechanism. The first is the exponential consumption of ferrocytochrome c and the second is the nonhyperbolic dependence of reaction velocity upon the concentration of cytochrome c. Because the reaction mechanism contains at least five, and possibly six, substrates, realistic mechanisms can be very complex and not suitable for analysis by conventional means. We have developed procedures for rapidly establishing whether a postulated mechanism will exhibit the necessary behavior and for calculating the steady-state activity that will result for any mechanism, given values for the individual rate constants and reactant concentrations. The procedures have been used with mechanisms containing up to 40 enzyme species.

Abstract
The conventional alternating access model for Ca2+ transport by the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump is modified, partly on the basis of the proposed MacLennan-Green domain structure for the Ca2+-pump protein. The present model divides the uptake state (E1) of the protein into three substates, differing in the condition of the Ca2+-binding domain. The domain is an open cavity in the first substate and can bind only a single Ca2+ ion. A fast "jaw-closing" (or "hinge-bending") step then partially closes the cavity to generate the second substate that has a second Ca2+-binding site. Occupation of this site is followed by another jaw-closing step that closes the binding cavity and occludes the bound ions. The subsequent translocation step (to form E2) remains unchanged from previous models. The modified model predicts a constant transport stoichiometry of two Ca2+ per pump reaction cycle. It suggests a plausible mechanism for coupling between Ca2+ binding and ATP utilization: the model predicts (in agreement with experiment) that Ca2+ binding should be a mandatory requirement for phosphorylation of the pump protein, though ATP binding per se does not require Ca2+. The model is consistent with high cooperativity in equilibrium binding of Ca2+, both in the absence and presence of ATP.

Abstract
The (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum presents negative cooperativity for the hydrolysis of Mg2+-ATP at different concentration ranges of this substrate. A kinetic model is proposed according to which Mg2+-ATP may bind to three different enzymatic species present during the catalytic cycle. E (K1 = 1 microM). E' approximately P.Ca2 (K9 = 500 microM) and EP (K7 = 20 microM), accelerating the release of Pi. The fact that each of these species has a different affinity for Mg2+-ATP allows a significant enhancement of the rate of Pi release to the medium at the different ranges of Mg2+-ATP concentration where the enzyme shows a kinetic cooperativity. The kinetic analysis of this mechanism yields an equation which is a ratio of two cubic polynomials (3:3 rate equations) with respect to Mg2+-ATP and which may explain the negative cooperativity of the enzyme at different concentration ranges of Mg2+-ATP.

Abstract
The level of reduction of cytochrome a and CuA during the oxidation of ferrocytochrome c has been determined in stopped-flow experiments. Both components are partially reduced but become progressively more oxidized as the reaction proceeds. When all cytochrome c has been oxidized, CuA is also completely oxidized, whereas cytochrome a is still partially reduced. These results can be simulated on the basis of a model which requires that the intramolecular electron transfer from cytochrome a and CuA to cytochrome a3-CuB is a two-electron process and, in addition, that the binding of oxidized cytochrome c to the electron- transfer site decreases the rate constants for intramolecular electron transfer from cytochrome a. The first requirement is related to the function of the oxidase as a proton pump. Product dissociation is not by itself rate-limiting, making it less likely that the source of the nonhyperbolic substrate kinetics is an effect on this step from electrostatic interaction with ferricytochrome c bound to a second site. It is pointed out that nonhyperbolic kinetics is, in fact, an intrinsic property of ion pumps.

Abstract
The transport rate of an electrogenic ion pump, and therefore also the current generated by the pump, depends on the potential difference (delta psi) between the two sides of the membrane. This dependence arises from at least three sources: (i) charges carried across the membrane by the transported ions; (ii) protein charges in the ion binding sites that alternate between exposure to (and therefore electrical contact with) the two sides of the membrane; (iii) protein charges or dipoles that move within the domain of the membrane as a result of conformational changes linked to the transport cycle. Quantitative prediction of these separate effects requires presently unavailable molecular information, so that there is great freedom in assigning voltage dependence to individual steps of a transport cycle when one attempts to make theoretical calculations of physiological behavior for an ion pump for which biochemical data (mechanism, rate constants, etc.) are already established. The need to make kinetic behavior consistent with thermodynamic laws, however, limits this freedom, and in most cases two points on a curve of rate versus delta psi will be fixed points independent of how voltage dependence is assigned. Theoretical discussion of these principles is illustrated by reference to ATP-driven Na,K pumps. Physiological data for this system suggest that all three of the possible mechanisms for generating voltage dependence do in fact make significant contributions.

Abstract
Active ion transport systems with fixed stoichiometry are subject to a thermodynamic limit on the ion concentration gradients that they can generate and maintain, and their net rates of transport must inevitably decrease as this limit is approached. The capability to vary stoichiometry might thus be physiologically advantageous: a shift to lower stoichiometry (fewer ions pumped per reaction cycle) at increasing thermodynamic load could increase the limit on the supportable concentration gradient and could accelerate the rate of transport under high-load conditions. Here we present a theoretical and numerical analysis of this possibility, using the sarcoplasmic reticulum ATP-driven Ca pump as the example. It is easy to introduce alternate pathways into the reaction cycle for this system to shift the stoichiometry (Ca2+/ATP) from the normal value of 2:1 to 1:1, but it cannot be done without simultaneous generation of a pathway for uncoupled leak of Ca2+ across the membrane. This counteracts the advantageous effect of the change in transport stoichiometry and a physiologically useful rate acceleration cannot be obtained. This result is likely to be generally applicable to most active transport systems.

Abstract
Contrary to common belief, theoretical analysis does not predict any necessary relationship between cooperativity in the equilibrium binding of an ion to multiple binding sites on a protein and cooperativity in the kinetic activation of a reaction for which such binding is prerequisite. The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca pump protein, for example, has two high-affinity binding sites for Ca2+, here considered to be nearly identical and independent. Equilibrium binding to these sites can be highly cooperative in spite of site-independence, as demonstrated by the well-known allosteric mechanism based on Wyman's principle of linked functions. We show in this paper that kinetic activation of the pump reaction cycle by binding of Ca2+ to these same sites can likewise be a cooperative function of Ca2+ concentration but that the criteria that determine cooperativity in the two situations are different. It is possible to observe kinetic cooperativity without concomitant cooperativity in equilibrium binding and vice versa. Application of these theoretical considerations to experimental data for the pump protein raises questions about the Ca2+ binding mechanism.
