Abstract
Pathogenic fungi are widespread and cause a variety of diseases in human beings and other organisms. At present, limited classes of antifungal agents are available to treat invasive fungal diseases. With the wide use of the commercial antifungal agents, drug resistance of pathogenic fungi are continuously increasing. Therefore, exploring effective antifungal agents with novel drug targets is urgently needed to cope with the challenges that the antifungal area faces. pH homeostasis is vital for multiple cellular processes, revealing the potential for defining novel drug targets. Fungi have evolved a number of strategies to maintain a stable pH internal environment in response to rapid metabolism and a dramatically changing extracellular environment. Among them, plasma membrane H+-ATPase (PMA) and vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) play a central role in the regulation of pH homeostasis system. In this chapter, we will summarize the current knowledge about pH homeostasis and its regulation mechanisms in pathogenic fungi, especially for the recent advances in PMA and V-ATPase, which would help in revealing the regulating mechanism of pH on cell growth and pathogenicity, and further designing effective drugs and identify new targets for combating fungal diseases.

Abstract
The plasma membrane H+ -ATPase of fungi and plants is a single polypeptide of fewer than 1,000 residues that extrudes protons from the cell against a large electric and concentration gradient. The minimalist structure of this nanomachine is in stark contrast to that of the large multi-subunit FO F1 ATPase of mitochondria, which is also a proton pump, but under physiological conditions runs in the reverse direction to act as an ATP synthase. The plasma membrane H+ -ATPase is a P-type ATPase, defined by having an obligatory phosphorylated reaction cycle intermediate, like cation pumps of animal membranes, and thus, this pump has a completely different mechanism to that of FO F1 ATPases, which operates by rotary catalysis. The work that led to these insights in plasma membrane H+ -ATPases of fungi and plants has a long history, which is briefly summarized in this review.

Abstract
The plasma membrane Pma1 H+-ATPase of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains conserved residue Asp739 located at the interface of transmembrane segment M6 and the cytosol. Its replacement by Asn or Val (Petrov et al. (2000) J. Biol. Chem., 275, 15709-15716) or by Ala (Miranda et al. (2011) Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 1808, 1781-1789) caused complete blockage of biogenesis of the enzyme, which did not reach secretory vesicles. It was proposed that a strong ionic bond (salt bridge) could be formed between this residue and positively charged residue(s) in close proximity, and the replacement D739A disrupted this bond. Based on a 3D homology model of the enzyme, it was suggested that the conserved Arg811 located in close proximity to Asp739 could be such stabilizing residue. To test this suggestion, single mutants with substituted Asp739 (D739V, D739N, D739A, and D739R) and Arg811 (R811L, R811M, R811A, and R811D) as well as double mutants carrying charge-neutralizing (D739A/R811A) or charge-swapping (D739R/R811D) substitutions were used. Expression of ATPases with single substitutions R811A and R811D were 38-63%, and their activities were 29-30% of the wild type level; ATP hydrolysis and H+ transport in these enzymes were essentially uncoupled. For the other substitutions including the double mutations, the biogenesis of the enzyme was practically blocked. These data confirm the important role of Asp739 and Arg811 residues for the biogenesis and function of the enzyme, suggesting their importance for defining H+ transport determinants but ruling out, however, the existence of a strong ionic bond (salt bridge) between these two residues and/or importance of such bridge for structure-function relationships in Pma1 H+-ATPase.

Abstract
Cone photoreceptor cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels play a pivotal role in cone phototransduction, which is a process essential for daylight vision, color vision, and visual acuity. Mutations in the cone channel subunits CNGA3 and CNGB3 are associated with human cone diseases, including achromatopsia, cone dystrophies, and early onset macular degeneration. Mutations in CNGB3 alone account for 50% of reported cases of achromatopsia. This work investigated the role of CNGB3 in cone light response and cone channel structural stability. As cones comprise only 2-3% of the total photoreceptor population in the wild-type mouse retina, we used Cngb3(-/-)/Nrl(-/-) mice with CNGB3 deficiency on a cone-dominant background in our study. We found that, in the absence of CNGB3, CNGA3 was able to travel to the outer segments, co-localize with cone opsin, and form tetrameric complexes. Electroretinogram analyses revealed reduced cone light response amplitude/sensitivity and slower response recovery in Cngb3(-/-)/Nrl(-/-) mice compared with Nrl(-/-) mice. Absence of CNGB3 expression altered the adaptation capacity of cones and severely compromised function in bright light. Biochemical analysis demonstrated that CNGA3 channels lacking CNGB3 were more resilient to proteolysis than CNGA3/CNGB3 channels, suggesting a hindered structural flexibility. Thus, CNGB3 regulates cone light response kinetics and the channel structural flexibility. This work advances our understanding of the biochemical and functional role of CNGB3 in cone photoreceptors.

Abstract
Membrane-spanning M5 and M6 segments, which play a role in the formation of cation transport sites in H(+)-, Ca2(+)-, K(+)-, Na(+)-, and other P2-ATPases, are connected by a short extracytoplasmic loop. In the yeast plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase, which belongs to a family of P2-ATPases, the loop is connected to M5 and M6 through the Asp-714 and Asp-720 residues. In this work, the effect of point amino, acidreplacements of Asp-714 and Asp-720 by Ala, Val, Asn, and Glu residues on the function of the enzyme was studied. The Asp714Asn point mutant possessed activities similar to those of the wild-type enzyme, whereas the replacement of Asp-714 by other amino acid residues disrupted biogenesis and led to a loss of activity. All mutants with substitution of Asp-720 were expressed and possessed relatively high activity. The D720V mutant displayed significantly reduced expression levels, activity, H+ transport, and ATP hydrolyzing activity. Thus, substitutions of Asp-714, except for the D714N mutant, led to significant defects in biogenesis and/or function of the enzyme. The results indicate the important role for the Asp-714 residue in biogenesis, structure stability, and enzyme function.

Abstract
The L5-6 loop is a short extracytoplasmic stretch (714-DNSLDID) connecting transmembrane segments M5 and M6 and forming along with segments M4 and M8 the core through which cations are transported by H+-, Ca2+-, K+,Na+-, H+,K+-, and other P2-ATPases. To study structure-function relationships within this loop of the yeast plasma membrane Pma1 H+-ATPase, alanine- and cysteine-scanning mutagenesis has been employed. Ala and Cys substitutions for the most conserved residue (Leu717) led to complete block in biogenesis preventing the enzyme from reaching secretory vesicles. The Ala replacement at Asp714 led to five-fold decrease in the mutant expression and loss of its activity, while the Cys substitution blocked biogenesis completely. Replacements of other residues did not lead to loss of enzymatic activity. Additional replacements were made for Asp714 and Asp720 (Asp®Asn/Glu). Of the substitutions made at Asp714, only D714N partially restored the mutant enzyme biogenesis and functioning. However, all mutant enzymes with substituted Asp720 were active. The expressed mutants (34-95% of the wild-type level) showed activity high enough (35-108%) to be analyzed in detail. One of the mutants (I719A) had three-fold reduced coupling ratio between ATP hydrolysis and H+ transport; however, the I719C mutation was rather indistinguishable from the wild-type enzyme. Thus, substitutions at two of the seven positions seriously affected biogenesis and/or functioning of the enzyme. Taken together, these results suggest that the M5-M6 loop residues play an important role in protein stability and function, and they are probably responsible for proper arrangement of transmembrane segments M5 and M6 and other domains of the enzyme. This might also be important for the regulation of the enzyme.

Abstract
Membrane-spanning segments M4, M5, M6, and M8 of the H(+)-, Ca(2+)-, and K(+), Na(+)-ATPases, which belong to the P2-type pumps are the core through which cations are transported. M5 and M6 loop is a short extracytoplasmic stretch of the seven amino acid residues (714-DNSLDID) connecting two of these segments, M5 and M6, where residues involved in the formation of the proton-binding site(s) are located. In the present study, we have used alanine-scanning mutagenesis to explore the structural and functional relationships within this loop of the yeast plasma membrane Pma1 H(+)-ATPase. Of the 7 Ala mutants made, substitution for the most conserved residue (Leu-717) has led to a severe misfolding and complete block in biogenesis of the mutant enzyme. The replacement of Asp-714 has also caused misfolding leading to significant decrease in the expression of the mutant and loss of activity. The remaining mutants were expressed in secretory vesicles at 21-119% of the wild-type level and were active enough to be analyzed in detail. One of these mutants (I719A) showed five- to threefold decrease in both expression and ATP hydrolyzing and H(+) pumping activities and also threefold reduction in the coupling ratio between ATP hydrolysis and H(+) transport. Thus, Ala substitutions at three positions of the seven seriously affected biogenesis, folding, stability and/or functioning of the enzyme. Taken together, these results lead to suggestion that M5 and M6 loop play an important role in the protein stability and function and is responsible for proper arrangement of transmembrane segments M5 and M6 and probably other domains of the enzyme. Results for additional conserved substitutions (Asn and Glu) at Asp-714 and Asp-720 confirmed this suggestion.

Abstract
The correct biogenesis and localization of Pma1 at the plasma membrane is essential for yeast growth. A subset of PMA1 mutations behave as dominant negative because they produce aberrantly folded proteins that form protein aggregates, which in turn provoke the aggregation of the wild type protein. One approach to understand this dominant negative effect is to identify second-site mutations able to suppress the dominant lethal phenotype caused by those mutant alleles. We isolated and characterized two intragenic second-site suppressors of the PMA1-D378T dominant negative mutation. We present here the analysis of these new mutations that are located along the amino-terminal half of the protein and include a missense mutation, L151F, and an in-frame 12bp deletion that eliminates four residues from Cys409 to Ala412. The results show that the suppressor mutations disrupt the interaction between the mutant and wild type enzymes, and this enables the wild type Pma1 to reach the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Misfolded proteins are usually arrested in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and degraded by the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) machinery. Several mutant alleles of PMA1, the gene coding for the plasma membrane H (+)-ATPase, render misfolded proteins that are subjected to ERAD. A subset of misfolded PMA1 mutants exhibits a dominant negative effect on yeast growth since, when co-expressed with the wild type allele, both proteins are retained in the ER and degraded. We have used a PMA1-D378T dominant lethal allele to analyse the mechanism underlying the retention of the wild type enzyme by the dominant negative mutant. A genetic screen was performed for isolation of intragenic suppressors of PMA1-D378T allele. This analysis pointed to transmembrane helix 10 (TM10) as an important element in the establishment of the dominant lethality. Deletion of the TM10 was able to suppress not only the PMA1-D378T but all the dominant lethal alleles tested. Biochemical analyses suggest that dominant lethal proteins obstruct, through TM10, the correct folding of the wild type enzyme leading to its retention and degradation by ERAD.

Abstract
The cone photoreceptor cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel plays a pivotal role in phototransducton. Mutations in the channel subunits are associated with achromatopsia and progressive cone dystrophy in humans. More than 50 mutations have been identified in the channel CNGA3 subunit, with 50% of them located in the carboxyl (C) terminus. This study investigates the defects of the two frequently occurring mutations, R377W and F488L, in the C-terminus of CNGA3. Ratiometric measurement of the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration and electrophysiological recordings showed the loss of functional activity of the mutant channels in an HEK293 heterologous expression system. Immunofluorescence labeling revealed an apparent cytosolic aggregation of the mutant channels compared to the wild type (WT). The R377W and F488L mutants, expressed and purified from Escherichia coli as glutathione S-transferase (GST) fused to the CNGA3 C-terminal domain, showed no negative effects on interactions with the channel subunits. Circular dichroism spectrum analyses were performed to examine the structural impact of the mutations. Although the R377W and F488L C-termini mutants retained stable, folded structures, the secondary structures of both mutants differed from the WT protein. Furthermore, the WT C-terminus exhibited a significant decrease in alpha-helical content in response to the channel ligands, while this allosteric transition was diminished in the two mutants. This is the first study showing the structural impact of the disease-causing mutations in the cone CNG channel subunit. The observed alterations in the local secondary structure and active conformational change may confer an adverse effect on the channel's activity and cellular processing.

Abstract
Sod2 is the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe that is principally responsible for salt tolerance. We examined the role of nine polar, membrane associated amino acids in the ability of the protein to confer salt tolerance in S. pombe. Wild type sod2 protein with a C-terminal GFP tag effectively rescued salt tolerance in S. pombe with deleted endogenous sod2. Sod2 protein with the mutations P163A, P183A, D298N, D389N, E390Q, E392Q and E397Q also conveyed salt tolerance as effectively as the wild type sod2 protein. In contrast, the mutation P146A resulted in a protein that did not convey salt tolerance nearly as effectively as the wild type and did not extrude Na(+) as well as the wild type. Mutation of Pro(146) to Ser, Asp or Lys had an intermediate effect. Mutation of Thr(142) to Ser resulted in a slightly defective protein. Western blot analysis showed that all mutant proteins were expressed at similar levels as wild type sod2 protein. Examination of the localization of the proteins showed that wild type and most sod2 mutants were present in the plasma membrane while the P146A mutant had an intracellular localization. Limited tryptic digestion suggested that the P146A sod2 protein had a change in conformation in comparison to the wild type protein. The results suggest that Pro(146) is an amino acid critical to sod2 structure, function and localization.

Abstract
Pma1-10 is a mutant plasma membrane ATPase defective at the restrictive temperature in stability at the cell surface. At 37 degrees, Pma1-10 is ubiquitinated and internalized from the plasma membrane for degradation in the vacuole. YVH1, encoding a tyrosine phosphatase, is a mutant suppressor of pma1-10; in the absence of Yvh1, Pma1-10 remains stable at the plasma membrane, thereby permitting cells to grow. The RING finger domain of Yvh1, but not its phosphatase domain, is required for removal of mutant Pma1-10 from the plasma membrane. Yvh1 is a novel ribosome assembly factor: in yvh1Delta cells, free 60S and 80S ribosomal subunits are decreased, free 40S subunits are increased, and half-mer polysomes are accumulated. Pma1-10 is also stabilized by deletion of 60S ribosomal proteins Rpl19a and Rpl35a. We propose that changes in ribosome biogenesis caused by loss of Yvh1 or specific ribosomal proteins have effects on the plasma membrane, perhaps by producing specific translational changes.

Abstract
Cells have a variety of strategies for dealing with misfolded proteins. Heat shock response involves transcriptional induction of chaperones to promote and/or correct folding, and also activation of the ubiquitin/proteasome system to degrade defective proteins. In the secretory pathway, it is primarily luminal misfolded or unassembled proteins that trigger the unfolded protein response which, like heat shock, induces chaperones and components of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway. To understand cellular response to a misfolded polytopic membrane protein of the secretory pathway, we studied Pma1-D378S, a model ERAD substrate. Expression of misfolded Pma1 induces heat shock response in the absence of increased temperature. Overexpression of HSF1, the transcription factor that mediates heat shock response, increases degradation of Pma1-D378S without temperature upshift. Nevertheless, efficient Pma1-D378S degradation occurs in an hsf1 mutant that maintains basal transcription levels but cannot mediate transcriptional activation. Thus, heat shock protein induction enhances but is not necessary for ERAD. The Ssa group of cytoplasmic Hsp70 chaperones is required for ERAD of both Pma1-D378S and another transmembrane ERAD substrate, Ste6*. In the absence of Ssa chaperones, ubiquitination of both substrates is impaired, resulting in stabilization. We suggest a role for Hsp70 cytoplasmic chaperones in recognition by the endoplasmic reticulum-associated ubiquitination machinery.

Abstract
The plasma membrane ATPase, Pma1, has remarkable longevity at the cell surface. In contrast to the wild-type protein, the temperature-sensitive mutant Pma1-10 is misfolded and undergoes rapid removal from the cell surface for vacuolar degradation. At the restrictive temperature, Pma1-10 becomes ubiquitylated before or upon arrival at the plasma membrane. Internalization from the plasma membrane and vacuolar degradation of Pma1-10 is dependent on the ubiquitin-interacting motif (UIM) of the epsin Ent1, suggesting recognition of ubiquitylated substrate by the endocytic machinery. Surprisingly, ubiquitylation of Pma1-10 is reversed when its internalization is blocked in an end3 mutant. Under these conditions, Pma1-10 acquires association with detergent-insoluble, glycolipid-enriched complexes (DIGs) which has been suggested to promote stability of wild-type Pma1. Ubiquitylation does not cause DIG exclusion because a Pma1-Ub fusion protein is not significantly excluded from DIGs. We suggest that ubiquitylation of Pma1-10 represents a component of a quality control mechanism that targets the misfolded protein for removal from the plasma membrane. Rapid internalization of Pma1-10 caused by its ubiquitylation may preempt establishment of stabilizing interactions.

Abstract
The beta-subunit of the Na,K-ATPase is required to deliver functional alpha beta-heterodimers to the plasma membrane (PM) of baculovirus-infected insect cells. We have investigated the molecular determinants in the beta-subunit for the assembly and delivery processes. Trafficking of both subunits was analyzed by Western blots of fractionated membranes enriched in endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi, and PM. Heterodimer assembly was evaluated by co-immunoprecipitation, and enzymatic activity was measured by ATPase assay. Elimination of enzymatic activity by D369A point mutation of the alpha-subunit had no effect on the compartmental distribution of the Na,K-ATPase, demonstrating that enzymatic functioning is not a prerequisite for PM delivery. Replacement of all three N-glycosylation site asparagines with glutamines produced no effect on the delivery to the PM or the activity of the enzyme, but increased susceptibility to degradation was observed. Analysis of beta-subunits in which the disulfide bonds were removed through substitution reveals that the bridges are important for PM targeting but not for assembly of the heterodimer. Assembly is supported by beta-subunits with greatly truncated extracellular domains. The presence of the amino-terminal domain and transmembrane segment is sufficient for assembly and PM delivery. Intermediate length truncated beta-subunits and some disulfide bridge substitution mutants assemble with the alpha-subunit but are not able to exit the ER. We conclude that there are different and separable requirements for the assembly of Na,K-ATPase heterodimer complexes, exit of the dimer from the ER, delivery to the PM, and catalytic activity of the dimer.

Abstract
The yeast transcription factors Pdr1p and Pdr3p regulate the expression of several genes that encode energy-dependent efflux pumps involved in multidrug resistance. They recognize specific pleiotropic drug resistance elements in the promoters of the target gene such as PDR5 coding for a major multidrug transporter. Gain-of-function mutations in Pdr1p/Pdr3p result in over-expression of transporter genes and establishment of multidrug resistance. We developed a novel yeast-based screening procedure designed to detect compounds that specifically modify multidrug resistance due to an interference with the expression of drug efflux transporter genes. The screening is based on the ability to abrogate the growth defect of cells suffering from the galactose induced Pdr3p driven over-expression of a dominant-lethal allele of the PMA1 gene placed under the control of the PDR5 promoter. Validation of the assay was achieved by showing that growth inhibition was relieved by mutant Pdr3p devoid of activation domain. This screening system may also be used to select the loss-of-function pdr3 (or pdr1) mutants and to identify specific gene(s) whose over-expression or deletion will suppress the expression of multidrug transporters and increase the susceptibility of yeast cells to antifungals.

Abstract
Pma1-D378N is a misfolded plasma membrane protein in yeast that is prevented from delivery to the cell surface and targeted instead for ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Degradation of Pma1-D378N is dependent on the ubiquitin ligase Doa10 and the ubiquitin chaperone Cdc48. Recognition of Pma1-D378N by the ERAD pathway is dependent on Eps1, a transmembrane member of the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) oxidoreductase family. Eps1 has two thioredoxin-like domains containing a CPHC and a CDKC active site. Although Eps1 interaction with wild-type Pma1 was not detected, Eps1 co-immunoprecipitates with Pma1-D378N. Eps1 interaction with Pma1-D378N requires the CPHC motif, although both thioredoxin-like domains appear to cooperate in substrate recognition. In the absence of the native transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic tail of Eps1, degradation of Pma1-D378N is slowed, suggesting that Eps1 facilitates presentation of substrate to membrane-bound components of the degradation machinery. Genetic interactions with other mutants of the ERAD machinery and induction of the unfolded protein response in eps1Delta cells support a general role for Eps1 as a recognition component of the ERAD pathway.

Abstract
Homology modeling in combination with transmembrane topology predictions are used to build the atomic model of Neurospora crassa plasma membrane H+-ATPase, using as template the 2.6 A crystal structure of rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase [Toyoshima, C., Nakasako, M., Nomura, H. & Ogawa, H. (2000) Nature 405, 647-655]. Comparison of the two calcium-binding sites in the crystal structure of Ca2+-ATPase with the equivalent region in the H+-ATPase model shows that the latter is devoid of most of the negatively charged groups required to bind the cations, suggesting a different role for this region. Using the built model, a pathway for proton transport is then proposed from computed locations of internal polar cavities, large enough to contain at least one water molecule. As a control, the same approach is applied to the high-resolution crystal structure of halorhodopsin and the proton pump bacteriorhodopsin. This revealed a striking correspondence between the positions of internal polar cavities, those of crystallographic water molecules and, in the case of bacteriorhodopsin, the residues mediating proton translocation. In our H+-ATPase model, most of these cavities are in contact with residues previously shown to affect coupling of proton translocation to ATP hydrolysis. A string of six polar cavities identified in the cytoplasmic domain, the most accurate part of the model, suggests a proton entry path starting close to the phosphorylation site. Strikingly, members of the haloacid dehalogenase superfamily, which are close structural homologs of this domain but do not share the same function, display only one polar cavity in the vicinity of the conserved catalytic Asp residue.

Abstract
The plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase, Pma1, is an essential and long-lived integral membrane protein. Previous work has demonstrated that the Pma1-D378N mutant is a substrate for endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation and causes a dominant negative effect on cell growth by preventing ER export of wild-type Pma1. We now show that Pma1-D378N is ubiquitylated, and it heterooligomerizes with wild-type Pma1, resulting in ubiquitylation and ER-associated degradation of wild-type Pma1. In temperature-sensitive lcb1-100 cells, defective in sphingoid base synthesis, Pma1 fails to oligomerize. At 30 degrees C, lcb1-100 is a suppressor of pma1-D378N because wild-type Pma1 fails to heterooligomerize with Pma1-D378N; wild-type Pma1 moves to the cell surface, indicating that oligomerization is not required for delivery to the plasma membrane. Even in the absence of Pma1-D378N, wild-type Pma1 is ubiquitylated and it undergoes internalization from the cell surface and vacuolar degradation at 30 degrees C in lcb1-100 cells. At 37 degrees C in lcb1-100 cells, a more severe defect occurs in sphingoid base synthesis, and targeting of newly synthesized Pma1 to the plasma membrane is impaired. These data indicate requirements for sphingolipids at three discrete stages: Pma1 oligomerization at the ER, targeting to the plasma membrane, and stability at the cell surface.

Abstract
The yeast plasma-membrane H(+)-ATPase, encoded by PMA1, is delivered to the cell surface via the secretory pathway and has recently emerged as an excellent system for identifying quality control mechanisms along the pathway. In the present study, we have tracked the biogenesis of Pma1-G381A, a misfolded mutant form of the H(+)-ATPase. Although this mutant ATPase is arrested transiently in the peripheral endoplasmic reticulum, it does not become a substrate for endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation nor does it appear to stimulate an unfolded protein response. Instead, Pma1-G381A accumulates in Kar2p-containing vesicular-tubular clusters that resemble those previously described in mammalian cells. Like their mammalian counterparts, the yeast vesicular-tubular clusters may correspond to specific exit ports from the endoplasmic reticulum, since Pma1-G381A eventually escapes from them (still in a misfolded, trypsin-sensitive form) to reach the plasma membrane. By comparison with wild-type ATPase, Pma1-G381A spends a short half-life at the plasma membrane before being removed and sent to the vacuole for degradation in a process that requires both End4p and Pep4p. Finally, in a separate set of experiments, Pma1-G381A was found to impose its phenotype on co-expressed wild-type ATPase, transiently retarding the wild-type protein in the ER and later stimulating its degradation in the vacuole. Both effects serve to lower the steady-state amount of wild-type ATPase in the plasma membrane and, thus, can explain the co-dominant genetic behavior of the G381A mutation. Taken together, the results of this study establish Pma1-G381A as a useful new probe for the yeast secretory system.

Abstract
Insight into the molecular basis of cholecystokinin (CCK) binding to its receptor has come from receptor mutagenesis and photoaffinity labeling studies, with both contributing to the current hypothesis that the acidic Tyr-sulfate-27 residue within the peptide is situated adjacent to basic Arg(197) in the second loop of the receptor. Here, we refine our understanding of this region of interaction by examining a structure-activity series of these positions within both ligand and receptor and by performing three-dimensional molecular modeling of key pairs of modified ligand and receptor constructs. The important roles of Arg(197) and Tyr-sulfate-27 were supported by the marked negative impact on binding and biological response with their natural partner molecule when the receptor residue was replaced by acidic Asp or Glu and when the peptide residue was replaced by basic Arg, Lys, p-amino-Phe, p-guanidino-Phe, or p-methylamino-Phe. Complementary ligand-receptor charge-exchange experiments were unable to regain the lost function. This was supported by the molecular modeling, which demonstrated that the charge-reversed double mutants could not form a good interaction without extensive rearrangement of receptor conformation. The models further predicted that R197D and R197E mutations would lead to conformational changes in the extracellular domain, and this was experimentally supported by data showing that these mutations decreased peptide agonist and antagonist binding and increased nonpeptidyl antagonist binding. These receptor constructs also had increased susceptibility to trypsin degradation relative to the wild-type receptor. In contrast, the relatively conservative R197K mutation had modest negative impact on peptide agonist binding, again consistent with the modeling demonstration of loss of a series of stabilizing inter- and intramolecular bonds. The strong correlation between predicted and experimental results support the reported refinement in the three-dimensional structure of the CCK-occupied receptor.

Abstract
Although considerably more oxidation-resistant than other P-type ATPases, the yeast PMA1 H+-ATPase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae SY4 secretory vesicles was inactivated by H2O2, Fe2+, Fe- and Cu-Fenton reagents. Inactivation by Fe2+ required the presence of oxygen and hence involved auto-oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+. The highest Fe2- (100 microM) and H2O2 (100 mM) concentrations used produced about the same effect. Inactivation by the Fenton reagent depended more on Fe2+ content than on H2O2 concentration, occurred only when Fe2+ was added to the vesicles first and was only slightly reduced by scavengers (mannitol, Tris, NaN3, DMSO) and by chelators (EDTA, EGTA, DTPA, BPDS, bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline). Inactivation by Fe- and Cu-Fenton reagent was the same; the identical inactivation pattern found for both reagents under anaerobic conditions showed that both reagents act via OH*. The lipid peroxidation blocker BHT prevented Fenton-induced rise in lipid peroxidation in both whole cells and in isolated membrane lipids but did not protect the H+-ATPase in secretory vesicles against inactivation. ATP partially protected the enzyme against peroxide and the Fenton reagent in a way resembling the protection it afforded against SH-specific agents. The results indicate that Fe2+ and the Fenton reagent act via metal-catalyzed oxidation at specific metal-binding sites, very probably SH-containing amino acid residues. Deferrioxamine, which prevents the redox cycling of Fe2+, blocked H+-ATPase inactivation by Fe2+ and the Fenton reagent but not that caused by H2O2, which therefore seems to involve a direct non-radical attack. Fe-Fenton reagent caused fragmentation of the H+-ATPase molecule, which, in Western blots, did not give rise to defined fragments bands but merely to smears.

Abstract
The NHE1 isoform of the Na+/H+ exchanger is a ubiquitous plasma membrane protein that regulates intracellular pH in mammalian cells. Site-specific mutagenesis was used to examine the functional role of conserved, polar amino-acid residues occurring in segments of the protein associated with the membrane. Seventeen mutant proteins were assessed by characterization of intracellular pH changes in stably transfected cells that lacked an endogenous Na+/H+ exchanger. All of the mutant proteins were targeted correctly to the plasma membrane and were expressed at similar levels. Amino-acid residues Glu262 and Asp267 were critical to Na+/H+ exchanger activity while mutation of Glu391 resulted in only a partial reduction in activity. The Glu262-->Gln mutant was expressed partially as a deglycosylated protein with increased sensitivity to trypsin treatment in presence of Na+. Substitution of mutated Glu262, Asp267 and Glu391 with alternative acidic residues restored Na+/H+ exchanger activity. The Glu262-->Asp mutant had a decreased affinity for Li+, but its activity for Na+ and H+ ions was unaffected. The results support the hypothesis that side-chain oxygen atoms in a few, critically placed amino acids are important in Na+/H+ exchanger activity and the acidic amino-acid residues at positions 262, 267 and 391 are good candidates for being involved in Na+ coordination by the protein.

Abstract
In P(2)-type ATPases, a stalk region connects the cytoplasmic part of the molecule, which binds and hydrolyzes ATP, to the membrane-embedded part through which cations are pumped. The present study has used cysteine scanning mutagenesis to examine structure-function relationships within stalk segment 5 (S5) of the yeast plasma-membrane H(+)-ATPase. Of 29 Cys mutants that were made and examined, two (G670C and R682C) were blocked in biogenesis, presumably due to protein misfolding. In addition, one mutant (S681C) had very low ATPase activity, and another (F685C) displayed a 40-fold decrease in sensitivity to orthovanadate, reflecting a shift in equilibrium from the E(2) conformational state toward E(1). By far the most striking group of mutants (F666C, L671C, I674C, A677C, I684C, R687C, and Y689C) were constitutively activated even in the absence of glucose, with rates of ATP hydrolysis and kinetic properties normally seen only in glucose-metabolizing cells. Previous work has suggested that activation of the wild-type H(+)-ATPase results from kinase-mediated phosphorylation in the auto-inhibitory C-terminal region of the 100-kDa polypeptide. The seven residues identified in the present study are located on one face of the S5 alpha-helix, consistent with the idea that mutations along this face serve to release the auto-inhibition.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the amino acid sequence 708-TGDGVNDSPALKK in pig kidney Na,K-ATPase as one of the best conserved among P-type ATPases. In Ca-ATPase this sequence forms a strand-loop-helix structure as part of a Rossman fold next to the phosphorylation site. Substitution of polar residues in the investigated sequence interfered with high-level accumulation of mutant protein. Mutant alpha1-subunit protein only accumulated in membranes from yeast cells grown at 15 degrees C whereas wild-type protein accumulated at both 15 and 35 degrees C. A systematic screen for the molecular mechanism behind lack of accumulation of mutant protein at 35 degrees C showed that transcription and translation were unaffected by the mutations. To demonstrate in vivo protein folding problems, an unfolded protein response reporter system was constructed in yeast. In this strain, only expression of mutant Na,K-ATPase alpha1-subunit caused induction of the unfolded protein response at 35 degrees C, indicating folding problems in the ER. Lowering the expression temperature to 15 degrees C prevented induction of the unfolded protein response after mutant protein expression, indicating correct folding at this temperature. At the permissive temperature mutant proteins were able to escape the endoplasmic reticulum quality control, reach the plasma membrane, and bind ouabain with high affinity. Since mutants in the 708-TGDGVNDSPALKK segment had a thermo inactivation profile identical to that of wild type, they were classified as temperature-sensitive synthesis mutants. The results indicate that this segment contributes side chains of importance for overall folding and maturation of Na,K-ATPase and all other P-type ATPases.

Abstract
The effect of vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) null mutations on the targeting of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase (Pma1p) through the secretory pathway was analyzed. Gas1p, which is another plasma membrane component, was used as a control for the experiments with Pma1p. Contrary to Gas1p, which is not affected by the deletion of the V-ATPase complex in the V-ATPase null mutants, the amount of Pma1p in the plasma membrane is markedly reduced, and there is a large accumulation of the protein in the endoplasmic reticulum. Kex2p and Gef1p, which are considered to reside in the post-Golgi vesicles, were suggested as required for the V-ATPase function; hence, their null mutant phenotype should have been similar to the V-ATPase null mutants. We show that, in addition to the known differences between those yeast phenotypes, deletions of KEX2 or GEF1 in yeast do not affect the distribution of Pma1p as the V-ATPase null mutant does. The possible location of the vital site of acidification by V-ATPase along the secretory pathway is discussed.

Abstract
Thirty-five mutations were generated in the yeast secretory pathway/Golgi ion pump, Pmr1, targeting oxygen-containing side chains within the predicted transmembrane segments M4, M5, M6, M7, and M8, likely to be involved in coordination of Ca(2+) and Mn(2+) ions. Mutants were expressed in low copy number in a yeast strain devoid of endogenous Ca(2+) pumps and screened for loss of Ca(2+) and Mn(2+) transport on the basis of hypersensitivity to 1, 2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA) and Mn(2+) toxicity, respectively. Three classes of mutants were found: mutants indistinguishable from wild type (Class 1), mutants indistinguishable from the pmr1 null strain (Class 2), and mutants with differential sensitivity to BAPTA and Mn(2+) toxicity (Class 3). We show that Class 1 mutants retain normal/near normal properties, including (45)Ca transport, Golgi localization, and polypeptide conformation. In contrast, Class 2 mutants lacked any detectable (45)Ca transport; of these, a subset also showed defects in trafficking and protein folding, indicative of structural problems. Two residues identified as Class 2 mutants in this screen, Asn(774) and Asp(778) in M6, also play critical roles in related ion pumps and are therefore likely to be common architectural components of the cation-binding site. Class 3 mutants appear to have altered selectivity for Ca(2+) and Mn(2+) ions, as exemplified by mutant Q783A in M6. These results demonstrate the utility of phenotypic screening in the identification of residues critical for ion transport and selectivity in cation pumps.

Abstract
As defined by hydropathy analysis, the membrane-spanning segments of the yeast plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase contain seven negatively charged amino acids (Asp and Glu) and four positively charged amino acids (Arg and His). To explore the functional role of these residues, site-directed mutants at all 11 positions and at Glu-288, located near the cytoplasmic end of M3, have been constructed and expressed in yeast secretory vesicles. Substitutions at four of the positions (Glu-129, Glu-288, Asp-833, and Arg-857) had no significant effect on ATP hydrolysis or ATP-dependent proton pumping, substitutions at five additional positions (Arg-695, His-701, Asp-730, Asp-739, and Arg-811) led to misfolding of the ATPase and blockage at an early stage of biogenesis, and substitutions of Asp-143 allowed measurable biogenesis but nearly abolished ATP hydrolysis and proton transport. Of greatest interest were mutations of Glu-703 in M5 and Glu-803 in M8, which altered the apparent coupling between hydrolysis and transport. Three Glu-703 mutants (E703Q, E703L, E703D) showed significantly reduced pumping over a wide range of hydrolysis values and thus appeared to be partially uncoupled. At Glu-803, by contrast, one mutant (E803N) was almost completely uncoupled, while another (E803Q) pumped protons at an enhanced rate relative to the rate of ATP hydrolysis. Both Glu-703 and Glu-803 occupy positions at which amino acid substitutions have been shown to affect transport by mammalian P-ATPases. Taken together, the results provide growing evidence that residues in membrane segments 5 and 8 of the P-ATPases contribute to the cation transport pathway and that the fundamental mechanism of transport has been conserved throughout the group.

Abstract
The NH2-terminus of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase is one of the least conserved segments of this protein among fungi. We constructed and expressed a mutant H+-ATPase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae deleted at an internal peptide within the cytoplasmic NH2-terminus (D44-F116). When the enzyme was subjected to limited trypsinolysis it was digested more rapidly than wild type H+-ATPase. Membrane fractionation experiments and immunofluorescence microscopy, using antibodies against H+-ATPase showed that the mutant ATPase is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum. The pattern observed in the immunofluorescence microscopy resembled structures similar to Russell bodies (modifications of the endoplasmic reticulum membranes) recently described in yeast. When the wild type H+-ATPase was co-expressed with the mutant, wild type H+-ATPase was also retained in the endoplasmic reticulum. Co-expression of both ATPases in a wild type yeast strain was lethal, demonstrating that this is a dominant negative mutant.

Abstract
Pmr1, a novel member of the family of P-type ATPases, localizes to the Golgi compartment in yeast where it provides Ca(2+) and Mn(2+) for a variety of normal secretory processes. We have previously characterized Ca(2+) transport in isolated Golgi vesicles, and described an expression system for the analysis of Pmr1 mutants in a yeast strain devoid of background Ca(2+) pump activity [Sorin, A., Rosas, G., and Rao, R. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 9895-9901]. Here we show, using recombinant bacterial fusions, that an N-terminal EF hand-like motif in Pmr1 binds Ca(2+). Increasing disruptions of this motif led to progressive loss of pump function; thus, the single point mutations D51A and D53A retained pump activity but with drastic reductions in the affinity for Ca(2+) transport, while the double mutant was largely unable to exit the endoplasmic reticulum. In-frame deletions of the Ca(2+)-binding motif resulted in complete loss of function. Interestingly, the single point mutations conferred differential affinities for transport of Ca(2+) and Mn(2+) ions. Further, the proteolytic stability of the catalytic ATP-binding domain is altered by the N-terminal mutations, suggesting an interaction between these two regions of polypeptide. These studies implicate the N-terminal domain of Pmr1 in the modulation of ion transport, and may help elucidate the role of N-terminal metal-binding sites of Cu(2+)-ATPases, defective in Wilson and Menkes disease.

Abstract
A human brain E-type ATPase (HB6 ecto-apyrase) was subjected to site-directed mutagenesis to assess the functional significance of two highly conserved tryptophan residues (Trp 187 and Trp 459), the only two tryptophans conserved in nearly all E-type ATPases. Mutation of tryptophan 187 to alanine yielded a poorly expressed ecto-apyrase completely devoid of nucleotidase activity. Immunolocalization of the W187A mutant in mammalian COS cells showed a cellular distribution clearly different from that of the wild-type enzyme, with the majority of the immunoreactivity concentrated in the interior of the cell. Unlike the wild-type enzyme, this mutant did not bind the nucleotide analogue Cibacron Blue and was sensitive to proteolytic digestion by chymotrypsin. These results suggest alteration of the tertiary structure, causing the enzyme to be improperly folded and retained within the cell. In contrast, mutation of tryptophan 459 to alanine resulted in an ecto-apyrase with enhanced NTPase activity, but diminished NDPase activity. Immunolocalization of this active mutant ecto-apyrase revealed a cellular pattern similar to that of the wild-type enzyme, distributed along the cell periphery and in cell processes. Coupling this active W459A mutation to a previously described mutation (D219E) resulted in an enzyme which preferentially hydrolyzes nucleoside triphosphates over diphosphates. The D219E/W459A double mutant had an ATPase:ADPase ratio of 11:1 and a UTPase:UDPase ratio of 148:1. In addition, the double mutant is substantially less sensitive to inhibition by azide, a more potent inhibitor of ecto-apyrases than ecto-ATPases. Thus, mutation of only two amino acids of an E-type ATPase essentially converts an ecto-apyrase to an ecto-NTPase.

Abstract
The plasma-membrane H+-ATPase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which belongs to the P2 subgroup of cation-transporting ATPases, is encoded by the PMA1 gene and functions physiologically to pump protons out of the cell. This study has focused on hydrophobic transmembrane segments M5 and M6 of the H+-ATPase. In particular, a conserved aspartate residue near the middle of M6 has been found to play a critical role in the structure and biogenesis of the ATPase. Site-directed mutants in which Asp-730 was replaced by an uncharged residue (Asn or Val) were abnormally sensitive to trypsin, consistent with the idea that the proteins were poorly folded, and immunofluorescence confocal microscopy showed them to be arrested in the endoplasmic reticulum. Similar defects are known to occur when either Arg-695 or His-701 in M5 is replaced by a neutral residue (Dutra, M. B., Ambesi, A., and Slayman, C. W. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 17411-17417). To search for possible charge-charge interactions between Asp-730 and Arg-695 or His-701, double mutants were constructed in which positively and negatively charged residues were swapped or eliminated. Strikingly, two of the double mutants (R695D/D730R and R695A/D730A) regained the capacity for normal biogenesis and displayed near-normal rates of ATP hydrolysis and ATP-dependent H+ pumping. These results demonstrate that neither Arg-695 nor Asp-730 is required for enzymatic activity or proton transport, but suggest that there is a salt bridge between the two residues, linking M5 and M6 of the 100-kDa polypeptide.

Abstract
Mutations at the phosphorylation site (Asp-378) of the yeast plasma-membrane H+-ATPase have been shown previously to cause misfolding of the ATPase, preventing normal movement along the secretory pathway; Asp-378 mutations also block the biogenesis of co-expressed wild-type ATPase and lead to a dominant lethal phenotype. To ask whether these defects are specific for Asp-378 or whether the phosphorylation region as a whole is involved, alanine-scanning mutagenesis has been carried out to examine the role of 11 conserved residues flanking Asp-378. In the sec6-4 expression system (Nakamoto, R. K., Rao, R., and Slayman, C. W. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 7940-7949), the mutant ATPases displayed varying abilities to reach the secretory vesicles that deliver plasma-membrane proteins to the cell surface. Indirect immunofluorescence of intact cells also gave evidence for a spectrum of behavior, ranging from mutant ATPases completely arrested (D378A, K379A, T380A, and T384A) or partially arrested in the endoplasmic reticulum to those that reached the plasma membrane in normal amounts (C376A, S377A, and G381A). Although the extent of ER retention varied among the mutants, the endoplasmic reticulum appeared to be the only secretory compartment in which the mutant ATPases accumulated. All of the mutant proteins that localized either partially or fully to the ER were also malfolded based on their abnormal sensitivity to trypsin. Among them, the severely affected mutants had a dominant lethal phenotype, and even the intermediate mutants caused a visible slowing of growth when co-expressed with wild-type ATPase. The effects on growth could be traced to the trapping of the wild-type enzyme with the mutant enzyme in the ER, as visualized by double label immunofluorescence. Taken together, the results indicate that the residues surrounding Asp-378 are critically important for ATPase maturation and transport to the cell surface.

Abstract
Membrane segment 5 (M5) is thought to play a direct role in cation transport by the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase and the Na+, K+-ATPase of animal cells. In this study, we have examined M5 of the yeast plasma membrane H+-ATPase by alanine-scanning mutagenesis. Mutant enzymes were expressed behind an inducible heat-shock promoter in yeast secretory vesicles as described previously (Nakamoto, R. K., Rao, R., and Slayman, C. W. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 7940-7949). Three substitutions (R695A, H701A, and L706A) led to misfolding of the H+-ATPase as evidenced by extreme sensitivity to trypsin; the altered proteins were arrested in biogenesis, and the mutations behaved genetically as dominant lethals. The remaining mutants reached the secretory vesicles in sufficient amounts to be characterized in detail. One of them (Y691A) had no detectable ATPase activity and appeared, based on trypsinolysis in the presence and absence of ligands, to be blocked in the E1-to-E2 step of the reaction cycle. Alanine substitution at an adjacent position (V692A) had substantial ATPase activity (54%), but was likewise affected in the E1-to-E2 step, as evidenced by shifts in its apparent affinity for ATP, H+, and orthovanadate. Among the mutants that were sufficiently active to be assayed for ATP-dependent H+ transport by acridine orange fluorescence quenching, none showed an appreciable defect in the coupling of transport to ATP hydrolysis. The only residue for which the data pointed to a possible role in cation liganding was Ser-699, where removal of the hydroxyl group (S699A and S699C) led to a modest acid shift in the pH dependence of the ATPase. This change was substantially smaller than the 13-30-fold decrease in K+ affinity seen in corresponding mutants of the Na+, K+-ATPase (Arguello, J. M., and Lingrel, J. B (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 22764-22771). Taken together, the results do not give firm evidence for a transport site in M5 of the yeast H+-ATPase, but indicate a critical role for this membrane segment in protein folding and in the conformational changes that accompany the reaction cycle. It is therefore worth noting that the mutationally sensitive residues lie along one face of a putative alpha-helix.
