Abstract
The cardiac sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) establishes the intracellular calcium gradient across the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. It has been proposed that SERCA forms homooligomers that increase the catalytic rate of calcium transport. We investigated SERCA dimerization in rabbit left ventricular myocytes using a photoactivatable cross-linker. Western blotting of cross-linked SERCA revealed higher-molecular-weight species consistent with SERCA oligomerization. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer measurements in cells transiently transfected with fluorescently labeled SERCA2a revealed that SERCA readily forms homodimers. These dimers formed in the absence or presence of the SERCA regulatory partner, phospholamban (PLB) and were unaltered by PLB phosphorylation or changes in calcium or ATP. Fluorescence lifetime data are compatible with a model in which PLB interacts with a SERCA homodimer in a stoichiometry of 1:2. Together, these results suggest that SERCA forms constitutive homodimers in live cells and that dimer formation is not modulated by SERCA conformational poise, PLB binding, or PLB phosphorylation.

Abstract
Rapid irreversible inactivation of Ca (2+)-free states of detergent-solubilized SERCA1a (sarco-endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase 1a) has so far prevented the use of Trp fluorescence for functional characterization of this ATPase after its solubilization in various detergents. Here we show that using 20-40% glycerol for protection makes this fluorescence characterization possible. Most of the ligand-induced Trp fluorescence changes previously demonstrated to occur for SERCA1a embedded in native sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes were observed in the combined presence of glycerol and detergent, although the results greatly depended on the detergent used, namely, octaethylene glycol mono- n-dodecyl ether (C 12E 8) or dodecyl maltoside (DDM). In particular, at pH 6, we found a C 12E 8-dependent unexpectedly huge reduction in SERCA1a affinity for Ca (2+). We suggest that a major reason for the different effects of the two detergents is that high concentrations of C 12E 8, but not of DDM, slow down the E2 to E1 transition in solubilized and delipidated SERCA1a. Independently of the characterization of the specific effects of various detergents on SR vesicles, our results open the way to functional characterization by Trp fluorescence of heterologously expressed and purified mutants of SERCA1a in the presence of detergent, without their preliminary reconstitution into liposomes. As an example, we used the E309Q mutant to demonstrate our previous suspicion that Ca (2+) binding to Site I of SERCA1a in fact slightly reduces Trp fluorescence, and consequently that the rise in this fluorescence generally observed when two Ca (2+) ions bind to WT SERCA1a mainly reflects Ca (2+) binding at Site II of SERCA1a.

Abstract
The thermophilic, sulfur metabolizing Archaeoglobus fulgidus contains two genes, AF0473 and AF0152, encoding for PIB-type heavy metal transport ATPases. In this study, we describe the cloning, heterologous expression, purification, and functional characterization of one of these ATPases, CopA (NCB accession number AAB90763), encoded by AF0473. CopA is active at high temperatures (75 degrees C; E(a) = 103 kJ/mol) and inactive at 37 degrees C. It is activated by Ag+ (ATPase V(max) = 14.82 micromol/mg/h) and to a lesser extent by Cu+ (ATPase V(max) = 3.66 micromol/mg/h). However, Cu+ interacts with the enzyme with higher apparent affinity (ATPase stimulation, Ag+ K(12) = 29.4 microm; Cu+ K(12) = 2.1 microm). This activation by Ag+ or Cu+ is dependent on the presence of millimolar amounts of cysteine. In the presence of ATP, these metals drive the formation of an acid-stable phosphoenzyme with apparent affinities similar to those observed in the ATPase activity determinations (Ag+, K(12) = 23.0 microm; Cu+, K(12) = 3.9 microm). However, comparable levels of phosphoenzyme are reached in the presence of both cations (Ag+, 1.40 nmol/mg; Cu+, 1.08 nmol/mg). The stimulation of phosphorylation by the cations suggests that CopA drives the outward movement of the metal. CopA presents additional functional characteristics similar to other P-type ATPases. ATP interacts with the enzyme with two apparent affinities (ATPase K(m) = 0.25 mm; phosphorylation K(m) = 4.81 microm), and the presence of vanadate leads to enzyme inactivation (IC(50) = 24 microm). This is the first Ag+/Cu+ -ATPase expressed and purified in a functional form. Thus, it provides a model for structure-functional studies of these transporters. Moreover, its characterization will also contribute to an understanding of thermophilic ion transporters.

Abstract
Amphipols are short-chain amphipathic polymers designed to keep membrane proteins soluble in aqueous solutions. We have evaluated the effects of the interaction of amphipols with sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase either in a membrane-bound or a soluble form. If the addition of amphipols to detergent-solubilized ATPase was followed by removal of detergent, soluble complexes formed, but these complexes retained poor ATPase activity, were not very stable upon long incubation periods, and at high concentrations they experienced aggregation. Nevertheless, adding excess detergent to diluted detergent-free ATPase-amphipol complexes incubated for short periods immediately restored full activity to these complexes, showing that amphipols had protected solubilized ATPase from the rapid and irreversible inactivation that otherwise follows detergent removal. Amphipols also protected solubilized ATPase from the rapid and irreversible inactivation observed in detergent solutions if the ATPase Ca(2+) binding sites remain vacant. Moreover, in the presence of Ca(2+), amphipol/detergent mixtures stabilized concentrated ATPase against inactivation and aggregation, whether in the presence or absence of lipids, for much longer periods of time (days) than detergent alone. Our observations suggest that mixtures of amphipols and detergents are promising media for handling solubilized Ca(2+)-ATPase under conditions that would otherwise lead to its irreversible denaturation and/or aggregation.

Abstract
We describe a method for estimating ligand binding to a macromolecular sample under conditions where this binding is of low affinity and must be measured under equilibrium conditions, without removal of the unbound ligand. The method is based on centrifugal ultrafiltration through a membrane with a molecular mass cut-off intermediate between that of the ligand and that of the target, and the amount of bound ligand is calculated from the difference between the (total) ligand in the concentrated sample and the (free) ligand in the ultrafiltrate. Centrifugal ultrafiltration makes it possible to separate free ligand from bound ligand (without changing its concentration) and to simultaneously concentrate the target (such that the proportion of bound ligand becomes significant, even under low-affinity binding conditions). We applied this technique, using Centricon 10 (Amicon) devices, to several cases (soluble proteins, intact membranes, detergent-solubilized proteins, and pure detergent micelles) and assessed its value with respect to the common artifacts that occur in other protocols involving protein retention on nitrocellulose filters (nonspecific ligand adsorption and protein denaturation).

Abstract
Conditions that permit the selective modification of an ATP-protectable site on the Ca-ATPase in skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membranes using erythrosin isothiocyanate (Er-ITC) have been identified. The major labeling site for Er-ITC has been identified using reversed-phase HPLC and positive FAB mass spectrometry after exhaustive tryptic digestion of the Er-ITC-modified Ca-ATPase. An ATP-protectable peptide corresponding to M452NVFNTEVRNLSK464VER467 is modified by Er-ITC, the average mass of which is 2830.1 +/- 0.3 Da. The exclusive modification of lysine residues indicates Lys464 as the site of Er-ITC modification. Derivatization with Er-ITC diminishes the secondary activation of steady-state ATPase activity and the rate of dephosphorylation by millimolar concentrations of ATP. In contrast, in the presence of micromolar ATP concentrations Er-ITC modification of the Ca-ATPase does not affect (i) the apparent affinity of ATP, (ii) the maximal extent of phosphoenzyme formation by ATP, (iii) the rate of steady-state ATP hydrolysis, or (iv) the rate of dephosphorylation of the Ca-ATPase. Furthermore, ATP utilization by the Ca-ATPase is unaffected by detergent solubilization, irrespective of Er-ITC modification, indicating that the secondary activation of ATP hydrolysis involves a single Ca-ATPase polypeptide chain. Therefore, Er-ITC does not interfere with the normal structural transitions associated with phosphoenzyme decay. Rather, these results indicate that Er-ITC bound to Lys464 interferes with either ATP binding to a low-affinity site or the associated structural transitions that modulate the rate of enzyme dephosphorylation.

Abstract
Mutants Gly330-->Ala, Leu332-->Ala, Leu332-->Pro, and Pro780-->Ala of the alpha1-isoform of rat kidney Na+,K+-ATPase were expressed in COS-1 cells to active site concentrations between 20 and 70 pmol per mg of membrane protein. The functional properties of the mutants were characterized by titrations of Na+-, K+-, and ATP-dependencies of Na+,K+-ATPase activity as well as by a series of assays measuring the K+-dependence of the steady-state phosphoenzyme level, the kinetics of dephosphorylation under a variety of conditions, and the ADP-ATP exchange activity. In mutants Gly330-->Ala, Leu332-->Ala, and Leu332-->Pro, the molecular turnover number was reduced relative to that of the wild-type Na+,K+-ATPase, and the steady-state phosphoenzyme level was high even in the presence of several millimolar K+. At a low Na+ concentration in the absence of K+, mutants Leu332-->Pro and Gly330-->Ala displayed high ADP-ATP exchange activity and formed a high level of the ADP-sensitive phosphoenzyme (E1P). The phosphoenzyme decayed slowly following a jump in salt concentration and chase with ATP and K+. Hence, the conversion of E1P to the K+-sensitive phosphoenzyme (E2P) was inhibited in mutants Leu332-->Pro and Gly330-->Ala. In the Leu332-->Ala mutant, a high level of E2P was accumulated in the absence of K+, and the ADP-ATP exchange activity was low at low Na+ concentration in the absence of K+, but rose sharply on addition of K+. Dephosphorylation experiments indicated that in the Leu332-->Ala mutant K+ induced reversal of the phosphoenzyme interconversion, forming E1P from E2P. Leu332 is therefore a pivotal residue in the conformational change. Mutants Gly330-->Ala and Pro780-->Ala displayed reduced K+ affinities relative to the wild type, determined in three independent assays.

Abstract
The lysine residue Lys492 located in the large cytoplasmic domain of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase is implicated in nucleotide binding through affinity labeling. The contribution of segment 487Phe-Ser-Arg-Asp-Arg-Lys492 to ATP binding and pump function has been investigated through the introduction of 11 site-directed amino acid mutations. ATP binding was measured through competitive inhibition of [gamma-32P]2',3'-O-(2,4, 6-trinitrophenyl)-8-azido-adenosine triphosphate photolabeling of Lys492 or its substitute. Mutations F487S and positional swap F487S/S488F produced pumps that were severely defective in ATP binding (KD > 1 mM), and mutant F487S, together with F487E, exhibited low ATPase activity and low ATP-supported calcium transport and phosphorylation and failed to show CrATP-dependent Ca2+ occlusion. Mutations F487L, R489L, and K492Y were less inhibitory to ATP binding (KD = 8-49 microM) and, together with K492L and R489D/D490R, produced correspondingly smaller changes in ATP-mediated activities. The ATP dependence of ATPase activity of these five mutants showed deviations from the wild-type profile in the low, intermediate, and high concentration ranges, suggesting defects in ATP-dependent conformational changes. Mutations S488A and D490A had no effect on ATP binding (KD = 0.4 microM) or ATP-mediated activities. None of the mutations significantly affected phosphorylation from Pi or acetyl phosphate-supported Ca2+ transport. Mutations F487L and F487S, and not those at residue 492, increased the K0.5 for Ca2+ activation of transport 2- and 8-fold, respectively. The results implicate Phe487, Arg489, and Lys492 in binding ATP in both a catalytic and a regulatory mode.

Abstract
Pentoxifylline, a dimethyl xanthine derivative given to patients with peripheral vascular disorders, increases erythrocyte deformability, diminishes Ca2+ entry, inhibits Ca(2+)-dependent transglutaminase activity and elevates ATP levels. The present study examined the effects of pentoxifylline on the Ca2+ pump ATPase, an enzyme which regulates intracellular Ca2+ levels. Studies were carried out with inside-out vesicles (IOVs) prepared from young (Ey) and old (Eo) human and rat erythrocytes. The pumping of Ca2+ depends on the concomitant hydrolysis of ATP; the two processes were measured using radiolabeled substrates. The catalytic properties of IOVs from young and old erythrocytes were stimulated by pentoxifylline when added directly to the assay medium. Pentoxifylline (0.5 to 5.0 mM) significantly activated the rates of Ca2+ dependent ATP hydrolysis in Ey and Eo IOVs of rat erythrocytes. The percent of activation was greater in the IOVs from older erythrocytes. The Ca2+ translocation was also affected by pentoxifylline. The early burst of Ca2+ uptake into IOVs decreased in the presence of pentoxifylline in Ey IOVs prepared from either species whereas steady state rates of Ca2+ transport only declined at 5.0 mM pentoxifylline. This pattern was not evident in the corresponding Eo IOVs. The response of Ey and Eo IOVs to pentoxifylline may be the basis of the difference in sensitivity of young and old erythrocytes to the drug in regulating intracellular Ca2+ concentrations.

Abstract
The effects of Mg2+ on the hepatic microsomal Ca2(+)-sequestering system was tested. Ca2(+)-ATPase activity and Ca2+ uptake were both dependent on the concentration of free Mg2+, reaching maximum levels at 2 mM. The effects of Mg-ATP were also influenced by the concentration of free Mg2+, being maximally effective at a ratio of 1:1. The results suggest that Mg2+ influences Ca2+ sequestration at various steps, namely in addition to forming the substrate of the Ca2(+)-ATPase reaction, Mg-ATP, Mg2+ stimulates the reaction at an additional step, as indicated by its stimulatory effect on the Ca2(+)-ATPase reaction and on Ca2+ uptake, even at optimal Mg-ATP levels. The stimulatory effect of Mg2+ was evident at various pH levels tested, and it was nucleotide specific. The stimulatory effect of Mg2+ might be exerted at the dephosphorylation step of the enzymatic reaction or at an other, yet undefined, site. The results demonstrate a plural effect of Mg2+ on the hepatic microsomal sequestration system. This indicates that, depending on its magnitude, changes in Mg2+ distribution might influence cytosolic Ca2+ levels.

Abstract
The interaction between Ca2+-ATPase molecules in the native sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane and in detergent solutions was analyzed by chemical crosslinking, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and by the polarization of fluorescence of fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate (FITC) covalently attached to the Ca2+-ATPase. Reaction of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles with glutaraldehyde causes the crosslinking of Ca2+-ATPase molecules with the formation of dimers, tetramers and higher oligomers. At moderate concentrations of glutaraldehyde solubilization of sarcoplasmic reticulum by C12 E8 or Brij 36T (approximately equal to 4 mg/mg protein) decreased the formation of higher oligomers without significant interference with the appearance of crosslinked ATPase dimers. These observations are consistent with the existence of Ca2+-ATPase dimers in detergent-solubilized sarcoplasmic reticulum. Ca2+ (2-20 mM) and glycerol (10-20%) increased the degree of crosslinking at pH 6.0 both in vesicular and in solubilized sarcoplasmic reticulum, presumably by promoting interactions between ATPase molecules; at pH 7.5 the effect of Ca2+ was less pronounced. In agreement with these observations, high performance liquid chromatography of sarcoplasmic reticulum proteins solubilized by Brij 36T or C12 E10 revealed the presence of components with the expected elution characteristics of Ca2+-ATPase oligomers. The polarization of fluorescence of FITC covalently attached to the Ca2+-ATPase is low in the native sarcoplasmic reticulum due to energy transfer, consistent with the existence of ATPase oligomers (Highsmith, S. and Cohen, J.A. (1987) Biochemistry 26, 154-161); upon solubilization of the sarcoplasmic reticulum by detergents, the polarization of fluorescence increased due to dissociation of ATPase oligomers. Based on its effects on the fluorescence of FITC-ATPase, Ca2+ promoted the interaction between ATPase molecules, both in the native membrane and in detergent solutions.

Abstract
The solubilization and delipidation of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase by different nonionic detergents were measured from changes in turbidity and recovery of intrinsic fluorescence of reconstituted ATPase in which tryptophan residues had been quenched by replacement of endogenous phospholipids with brominated phospholipids. It was found that incorporation of C12E8 or dodecyl maltoside (DM) at low concentrations in the membrane, resulting in membrane "perturbation" without solubilization, displaced a few of the phospholipids in contact with the protein; perturbation was evidenced by a parallel drop in ATPase activity. As a result of further detergent addition leading to solubilization, the tendency toward delipidation of the immediate environment of the protein was stopped, and recovery of enzyme activity was observed, suggesting reorganization of phospholipid and detergent molecules in the solubilized ternary complex, as compared to the perturbed membrane. After further additions of C12E8 or DM to the already solubilized membrane, the protein again experienced progressive delipidation which was only completed at a detergent concentration about 100-fold higher than that necessary for solubilization. Delipidation was correlated with a decrease in enzyme activity toward a level similar to that observed during perturbation. On the other hand, Tween 80, Tween 20, and Lubrol WX failed to solubilize SR membranes and to induce further ATPase delipidation when added after preliminary SR solubilization by C12E8 or dodecyl maltoside. For Tween 80, this can be related to an inability to solubilize pure lipid membrane; in contrast, Tween 20 and Lubrol WX were able to solubilize liposomes but not efficiently to solubilize SR membranes. In all three cases, insertion of the detergent in SR membranes is, however, demonstrated by perturbation of enzyme activity. Correlation between detergent structure and ability to solubilize and delipidate the ATPase suggests that one parameter impeding ATPase solubilization might be the presence of a bulky detergent polar headgroup, which could not fit close to the protein surface. We also conclude that in the active protein/detergent/lipid ternary complexes, solubilized by C12E8 or dodecyl maltoside, most phospholipids remain closely associated with the ATPase hydrophobic surface as in the membranous form. Binding of only a few detergent molecules on this hydrophobic surface may be sufficient for inhibition of ATPase activity observed at high ATP concentration, both during perturbation and in the completely delipidated, solubilized protein.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase was subjected to target size analysis by radiation inactivation in various buffer conditions and after solubilization in monomeric form in non-ionic detergent and in SDS. The target size was also determined for Ca-ATPase in bidimensional crystals formed in the presence of decavanadate or lanthanide. The standardization obtained with defined monomers of Ca-ATPase shows that the target size of Ca-ATPase in the functional membrane-bound state may be ascribed to a single peptide chain, possibly with surrounding lipid. Further analysis of the radiation inactivation sizes of various partial reactions of the pump cycle, including phosphorylation and Ca2+ occlusion, indicated much smaller values than the target size pertaining to decomposition of the whole peptide chain. This is consistent with the existence of separate functional domains within a single peptide chain.
