Abstract
Tetracyclines (TCs) are medically important antibiotics from the polyketide family of natural products. Chelocardin (CHD), produced by Amycolatopsis sulphurea, is a broad-spectrum tetracyclic antibiotic with potent bacteriolytic activity against a number of Gram-positive and Gram-negative multi-resistant pathogens. CHD has an unknown mode of action that is different from TCs. It has some structural features that define it as 'atypical' and, notably, is active against tetracycline-resistant pathogens. Identification and characterization of the chelocardin biosynthetic gene cluster from A. sulphurea revealed 18 putative open reading frames including a type II polyketide synthase. Compared to typical TCs, the chd cluster contains a number of features that relate to its classification as 'atypical': an additional gene for a putative two-component cyclase/aromatase that may be responsible for the different aromatization pattern, a gene for a putative aminotransferase for C-4 with the opposite stereochemistry to TCs and a gene for a putative C-9 methylase that is a unique feature of this biosynthetic cluster within the TCs. Collectively, these enzymes deliver a molecule with different aromatization of ring C that results in an unusual planar structure of the TC backbone. This is a likely contributor to its different mode of action. In addition CHD biosynthesis is primed with acetate, unlike the TCs, which are primed with malonamate, and offers a biosynthetic engineering platform that represents a unique opportunity for efficient generation of novel tetracyclic backbones using combinatorial biosynthesis.

Abstract
To describe the supersecondary structure (SSS) of beta sandwich-like proteins (SPs), we introduce a structural unit called the "strandon." A strandon is defined as a set of sequentially consecutive strands connected by hydrogen bonds in 3D structures. Representing beta-proteins as the assembly of strandons exposes the underlying similarities in their SSS and enables us to construct a novel classification scheme of SPs. Classification of all known SPs is based on shared supersecondary structural features and is presented in the SSS database (http://binfs.umdnj.edu/sssdb/). Analysis of the SSS reveals two common specific patterns. The first pattern defines the arrangement of strandons and was found in 95% of all examined SPs. The second pattern establishes the ordering of strands in the protein domain and was observed in 82% of the analyzed SPs. Knowledge of these two patterns that uncover the spatial arrangement of strands will likely prove useful in protein structure prediction.

Abstract
Eosin is a probe for the Na pump nucleotide site. In contrast to previous studies examining eosin effects on Na only ATPase, we examined Na,K-ATPase- and K-activated pNPPase activity in red blood cell membranes and purified renal Na,K-ATPase. At saturating ATP (3 mM) the eosin IC(50) for Na pump inhibition was 19 microM. Increasing ATP concentrations (0.2-2.5 mM) did not overcome eosin-induced inhibition, thus eosin is a mixed-type inhibitor of ATPase activity. To test if eosin can bind to the high-affinity ATP site, purified Na,K-ATPase was labeled with 20 microM FITC. With increasing eosin concentrations (0.1 microM-10 microM) the incorporation of FITC into the ATP site significantly decreases suggesting that eosin prevents FITC reaction at the high-affinity ATP site. Eosin was a more potent inhibitor of K-activated phosphatase activity than of Na,K-ATPase activity. At 5 mM pNPP the eosin IC(50) for Na pump inhibition was 3.8+/-0.23 microM. Increasing pNPP concentrations (0.45-14.5 mM) did not overcome eosin-induced inhibition, thus eosin is a mixed-type inhibitor of pNPPase activity. These results can be fit by a model in which eosin and ATP bind only to the nucleotide site; in some pump conformations, this site is rigid and the binding is mutually exclusive and in other conformations, the site is flexible and able to accommodate both eosin and ATP (or pNPP). Interestingly, eosin inhibition of pNPPase became competitive after the addition of C(12)E(8) (0.1%) but the inhibition of ATPase remained mixed.

Abstract
Interactions of the Escherichia coli PriA helicase with nucleotide cofactors have been studied using the fluorescence titration and analytical ultracentrifugation techniques. Binding of unmodified cofactors was characterized by the fluorescence competition titration method. The obtained data establish that at saturation the PriA helicase binds two nucleotide molecules per protein monomer. This result corroborates with the primary structure of the protein, which contains sequence motifs implicated as putative nucleotide-binding sites. The intrinsic affinities of the binding sites differ by 2-4 orders of magnitude. Thus, the PriA helicase has a strong and a weak nucleotide-binding site. The binding sites differ dramatically in their properties. The strong site is highly specific for adenosine cofactors, while the weak site shows very modest base specificity. The affinities of the strong and weak binding sites for ATP are lower than the affinities for ADP, although both sites have similar affinity for the inorganic phosphate group. Unlike the weak site, the affinity of the strong site profoundly depends on the structure of the phosphate group of the ATP cofactor. Binding of unmodified nucleotides indicates the presence of positive cooperative interactions between bound cofactors (i.e., the existence of communication between the two sites). Magnesium cations are specifically involved in controlling the cofactor affinity for the strong site, while the affinity of the weak site is predominantly determined by interactions between the phosphate group and ribose regions of the cofactor and the protein matrix. The significance of these results for the activities of the PriA helicase is discussed.

Abstract
The A1Ao ATP synthase from archaea represents a class of chimeric ATPases/synthases, whose function and general structural design share characteristics both with vacuolar V1Vo ATPases and with F1Fo ATP synthases. The primary sequences of the two large polypeptides A and B, from the catalytic part, are closely related to the eukaryotic V1Vo ATPases. The chimeric nature of the A1Ao ATP synthase from the archaeon Methanosarcina mazei Gö1 was investigated in terms of nucleotide interaction. Here, we demonstrate the ability of the overexpressed A and B subunits to bind ADP and ATP by photoaffinity labeling. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used to map the peptide of subunit B involved in nucleotide interaction. Nucleotide affinities in both subunits were determined by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, indicating a weaker binding of nucleotide analogues to subunit B than to A. In addition, the nucleotide-free crystal structure of subunit B is presented at 1.5 A resolution, providing the first view of the so-called non-catalytic subunit of the A1Ao ATP synthase. Superposition of the A-ATP synthase non-catalytic B subunit and the F-ATP synthase non-catalytic alpha subunit provides new insights into the similarities and differences of these nucleotide-binding ATPase subunits in particular, and into nucleotide binding in general. The arrangement of subunit B within the intact A1Ao ATP synthase is presented.

Abstract
We investigate the supersecondary structure of a large group of proteins, the so-called sandwich proteins. The analysis of a large number of such proteins has led us to propose a set of rules that can be used to predict the possible arrangements of strands in the two beta-sheets forming a given sandwich structure. These rules imply the existence of certain invariant supersecondary substructures common to all sandwich proteins. Furthermore, they dramatically restrict the number of permissible arrangements. For example, whereas for proteins consisting of three strands in each beta-sheet 180 possible strand arrangements exist a priori, our rules imply that only 15 of them are permissible. Five of these predicted arrangements describe all currently known sandwich proteins with six strands.

Abstract
ATP2C1, encoding the human secretory pathway Ca2+/Mn2+ ATPase (hSPCA1), was recently identified as the defective gene in Hailey-Hailey Disease (HHD), an autosomal dominant skin disorder characterized by persistent blisters and erosions. To investigate the underlying cause of HHD, we have analyzed the changes in expression level and function of hSPCA1 caused by mutations found in HHD patients. Mutations were introduced into hSPCA1d, a novel splice variant expressed in keratinocytes, described here for the first time. Encoded by the full-length of optional exons 27 and 28, hSPCA1d was longer than previously identified splice variants. The protein competitively transported Ca2+ and Mn2+ with equally high affinity into the Golgi of COS-1 cells. Ca2+- and Mn2+-dependent phosphoenzyme intermediate formation in forward (ATP-fuelled) and reverse (Pi-fuelled) directions was also demonstrated. HHD mutant proteins L341P, C344Y, C411R, T570I, and G789R showed low levels of expression, despite normal levels of mRNA and correct targeting to the Golgi, suggesting instability or abnormal folding of the mutated hSPCA1 polypeptides. P201L had little effect on the enzymatic cycle, whereas I580V caused a block in the E1 approximately P --> E2-P conformational transition. D742Y and G309C were devoid of Ca2+- and Mn2+-dependent phosphoenzyme formation from ATP. The capacity to phosphorylate from Pi was retained in these mutants but with a loss of sensitivity to both Ca2+ and Mn2+ in D742Y and a preferential loss of sensitivity to Mn2+ in G309C. These results highlight the crucial role played by Asp-742 in the architecture of the hSPCA1 ion-binding site and reveal a role for Gly-309 in Mn2+ transport selectivity.

Abstract
We recently developed the Rosetta algorithm for ab initio protein structure prediction, which generates protein structures from fragment libraries using simulated annealing. The scoring function in this algorithm favors the assembly of strands into sheets. However, it does not discriminate between different sheet motifs. After generating many structures using Rosetta, we found that the folding algorithm predominantly generates very local structures. We surveyed the distribution of beta-sheet motifs with two edge strands (open sheets) in a large set of non-homologous proteins. We investigated how much of that distribution can be accounted for by rules previously published in the literature, and developed a filter and a scoring method that enables us to improve protein structure prediction for beta-sheet proteins.

Abstract
In this study, we employed an in vivo model of prolonged ischemia in rat skeletal muscle to investigate the hypothesis that structural modifications to the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-ATPase can explain the alterations in Ca2+-ATPase activity that occur with ischemia. To induce total ischemia, a tourniquet was placed around the upper hindlimb in 27 female Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 256 +/- 6.7 g (mean +/- SE) and was inflated to 350 mmHg for 4 h. The contralateral limb served as control (C) to the ischemic limb (I), and the limbs of animals killed immediately after anesthetization served as a double control (CC). Mixed gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscles were sampled and used for SR vesicle preparation. Maximal Ca2+-ATPase activity (micromol x g protein(-1) x min(-1)) of C (15,802 +/- 1,246) and I (11,609 +/- 1,029) was 90 and 73% (P < 0.05) of CC (17,562 +/- 1,682), respectively. No differences were found between groups in either the Hill coefficient or the free Ca2+ at half-maximal activity. The fluorescent probes, FITC and N-cyclohexyl-N'-(dimethylamino-alpha-naphthyl) carbodiimide, used to assess structural alterations in the regions of the ATP binding site and the Ca2+ binding sites of the Ca2+-ATPase, respectively, indicated a 26% reduction (P < 0.05) in FITC binding capacity (absolute units) in I (0.22 +/- 0.01) compared with CC (0.29 +/- 0.02) and C (0.29 +/- 0.03). Our results suggest that the reduction in maximal SR Ca2+-ATPase activity in SR vesicles with ischemia is related to structural modification in the region of the nucleotide binding domain by mechanisms that are as yet unclear.

Abstract
Maleimidylsalicylic acid reacts with the Ca(2+)-ATPase of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum with high affinity and inhibits the ATPase activity following a pseudo-first-order kinetic with a rate constant of 8.3 m(-1) s(-1). Calcium binding remains unaffected in the maleimide-inhibited ATPase. However, the presence of ATP, ADP, and, to a lesser extent, AMP protects the enzyme against inhibition. Furthermore, ATPase inhibition is accompanied by a concomitant decrease in ATP binding. The stoichiometry of the nucleotide-dependent maleimidylsalicylic acid binding is 6-10 nmol/mg ATPase, which corresponds to the binding of up to one molecule of maleimide/molecule of ATPase. The stoichiometry of maleimide binding is decreased in the presence of nucleotides and in the ATPase previously labeled with fluorescein-5'-isothiocyanate or N-ethylmaleimide A fluorescent peptide was isolated by high performance liquid chromatography after trypsin digestion of the maleimide-labeled ATPase. Analysis of the sequence and mass spectrometry of the peptide leads us to propose Cys(344) as the target for maleimidylsalicylic acid in the inhibition reaction. The effect of Cys(344) modification on the nucleotide site is discussed.

Abstract
The highly conserved motif +(534)DPPR of Saccharomyces cerevisiae H(+)-ATPase, located in the putative ATP binding site, has been mutagenized and the resulting 23 mutant genes conditionally expressed in secretory vesicles. Fourteen mutant ATPases (D534A, D534V, D534L, D534N, D534G, D534T, P535A, P535V, P535L, P535G, P535T, P535E, P535K and R537T) failed to reach the secretory vesicles. Of these mutants, nine (D534N, D534T, P535A, P535V, P535L, P535G, P535T, P535E and P535K) were not detected in total cellular membranes, and five (D534A, D534V, D534G, D534L and R537T) were retained at the endoplasmic reticulum and exhibited a dominant lethal phenotype. The remaining mutants (D534E, R537A, R537V, R537L, R537N, R537G, R537E, R537K and R537H) reached the secretory vesicles at levels similar to that of the wild type. Of these, six (R537A, R537V, R537L, R537N, R537G, and R537E) showed severely decreased ATPase activity compared to the wild type enzyme, and three (D534E, R537K and R537H) rendered an enzyme with an altered K(m) for ATP.

Abstract
Members of the large family of P-type pumps use active transport to maintain gradients of a wide variety of cations across cellular membranes. Recent structures of two P-type pumps at 8-A resolution have revealed the arrangement of transmembrane helices but were insufficient to reveal the architecture of the cytoplasmic domains. However, recent proposals of a structural homology with a superfamily of hydrolases offer a new basis for modeling these domains. In the current work, we have extended the sequence comparison for the superfamily and delineated domains in the 8-A density map of Ca(2+)-ATPase. The homology suggests a new domain structure for Ca(2+)-ATPase and, specifically, that the phosphorylation domain adopts a Rossman fold. Accordingly, the atomic structure of L-2 haloacid dehalogenase has been fitted into the relevant domain of Ca(2+)-ATPase. The resulting model suggests the existence of two ATP sites at the interface between two domains. Based on this new model, we are able to reconcile numerous results of mutagenesis and chemical cross-linking within the catalytic domains. Furthermore, we have used the model to predict the configuration of Mg.ATP at its binding site. Based on this prediction, we propose a mechanism, involving a change in Mg(2+) liganding, for initiating the domain movements that couple sites of ion transport to ATP hydrolysis.

Abstract
The plasma membrane H+-ATPase from fungi and plants is a proton pump which plays a key role in the physiology of these organisms controlling essential functions such as nutrient uptake and intracellular pH regulation. In fungal and plant cells the activity of the proton pump is regulated by a large number of environmental factors at both transcriptional and post-translational levels. During the last years the powerful tools of molecular biology have been successfully used in fungi and plants allowing the cloning of a wide diversity of H+-ATPase genes and rapid progress on the molecular basis of reaction mechanism and regulation of the proton pump. This review focuses on recent results on regulation of plasma membrane H+-ATPase obtained by molecular approaches.

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

Abstract
Fusion proteins of glutathione-S-transferase and fragments from the large cytoplasmic domain of the sheep Na,K-ATPase alpha1-subunit were expressed in Escherichia coli. The Na,K-ATPase sequences begin at Ala345 and terminate at either Arg600 (DP600f), Thr610 (DP610f), Gly731 (DP731f), or Glu779 (DP779f). After affinity purification on glutathione-Sepharose, the fusion proteins were labeled with [alpha-32P]-2-N3-ATP, and incorporation of the radiolabel into the fusion proteins was measured by scintillation counting after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Kd values of 220-290 microM for 2-N3-ATP binding to the fusion proteins were obtained from the photolabeling experiments. Approximately 1 mol of 2-N3-ATP was calculated to be incorporated per mole of fusion protein after correction for photochemical incorporation efficiency. Labeling of all of the fusion proteins by 25 microM 2-N3-ATP was reduced in the presence of MgATP, Na2ATP, MgCl2, 2',3'-O-(2,4, 6-trinitrophenyl)-ATP, and p-nitrophenylphosphate, and Ki values of 2-11 mM for Na2ATP, 0.2-5 mM for MgCl2, 0.1-5 mM for MgATP, and 20-300 microM for p-nitrophenylphosphate were calculated for these ligands. All of the fusion proteins catalyze the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylphosphate. The reaction requires MgCl2 and is inhibited by inorganic phosphate, which is similar to the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylphosphate by native Na,K-ATPase. Based on these observations, it appears that the soluble fragments from the large cytoplasmic domain of Na,K-ATPase expressed in bacterial cells are folded in an E2-like conformation and are likely to retain much of the native structure.

Abstract
Phospholamban (PLB) is a major target of the beta-adrenergic cascade in the heart, and functions to modulate rate-limiting conformational transitions involving the transport activity of the Ca-ATPase. To investigate structural changes within the Ca-ATPase that result from the phosphorylation of PLB by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), we have covalently bound the long-lived phosphorescent probe erythrosin isothiocyanate (Er-ITC) to cytoplasmic sequences within the Ca-ATPase. Under these labeling conditions, the Ca-ATPase remains catalytically active, indicating that observed changes in rotational dynamics reflect normal conformational transitions. Two major Er-ITC labeling sites were identified using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), corresponding to Lys464 and Lys650, which are respectively located within the phosphorylation and nucleotide binding domains of the Ca-ATPase. Frequency-domain phosphorescence measurements of the rotational dynamics of Er-ITC bound to these cytoplasmic sequences within the Ca-ATPase permit the resolution of the dynamic structure of individual domain elements relative to the overall rotational motion of the entire Ca-ATPase polypeptide chain. We observe a significant decrease in the rotational dynamics of Er-ITC bound to the Ca-ATPase upon phosphorylation of PLB by PKA, as evidenced by an increase in the residual anisotropy. These results suggest that phosphorylation of PLB results in a structural reorientation of the phosphorylation or nucleotide binding domains with respect to the membrane normal. In contrast, calcium activation of the Ca-ATPase in the presence of dephosphorylated PLB results in no detectable change in the rotational dynamics of Er-ITC, suggesting that calcium binding and PLB phosphorylation have distinct effects on the conformation of the Ca-ATPase. We suggest that PLB functions to alter the efficiency of phosphoenyzme formation following calcium activation of the Ca-ATPase by modulating the spatial arrangement between ATP bound in the nucleotide binding domain and Asp351 in the phosphorylation domain.

Abstract
The regulation of cytosolic Ca2+ homeostasis is essential for cells, and particularly for vascular smooth muscle cells. In this regulation, there is a participation of different factors and mechanisms situated at different levels in the cell, among them Ca2+ pumps play an important role. Thus, Ca2+ pump, to extrude Ca2+; Na+/Ca2+ exchanger; and different Ca2+ channels for Ca2+ entry are placed in the plasma membrane. In addition, the inner and outer surfaces of the plasmalemma possess the ability to bind Ca2+ that can be released by different agonists. The sarcoplasmic reticulum has an active role in this Ca2+ regulation; its membrane has a Ca2+ pump that facilitates luminal Ca2+ accumulation, thus reducing the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration. This pump can be inhibited by different agents. Physiologically, its activity is regulated by the protein phospholamban; thus, when it is in its unphosphorylated state such a Ca2+ pump is inhibited. The sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane also possesses receptors for 1,4,5-inositol trisphosphate and ryanodine, which upon activation facilitates Ca2+ release from this store. The sarcoplasmic reticulum and the plasmalemma form the superficial buffer barrier that is considered as an effective barrier for Ca2+ influx. The cytosol possesses different proteins and several inorganic compounds with a Ca2+ buffering capacity. The hypothesis of capacitative Ca2+ entry into smooth muscle across the plasma membrane after intracellular store depletion and its mechanisms of inhibition and activation is also commented.

Abstract
We have used labeling conditions that permit the specific and covalent attachment of erythrosin isothiocyanate (Er-ITC) to Lys464 within the phosphorylation domain of the Ca-ATPase in skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes. These labeling conditions do not interfere with high-affinity ATP binding, phosphoenzyme formation, or phosphoenzyme hydrolysis [Huang, S., Negash, S., and Squier, T. C. (1998) Biochemistry 37, 6949-6957]. Thus, we can use frequency-domain phosphorescence spectroscopy to measure the rotational dynamics of the Ca-ATPase stabilized in different enzymatic states corresponding to the absence of bound ligands (E), calcium activation (E x Ca2), the presence of bound nucleotide (E x ATP), and formation of phosphoenzyme (E-P). We resolve three rotational correlation times corresponding to (i) a large-amplitude domain motion of the phosphorylation domain (phi1 approximately 5 +/- 1 micros), (ii) overall protein rotational motion with respect to the membrane normal (phi2 approximately 50 +/- 10 micros), and (iii) the rotational motion of the SR vesicles (phi3 approximately 1.1 +/- 0.4 ms). No differences are observed in the rotational dynamics of E, E x ATP, or E-P, indicating that phosphoenzyme formation or nucleotide binding result in no global structural changes involving the phosphorylation domain. In contrast, calcium activation enhances the amplitude of motion of the phosphorylation domain. These observed calcium-dependent changes in rotational dynamics result from structural changes within a single Ca-ATPase polypeptide chain, since protein-protein interactions do not change upon calcium binding. Thus, calcium binding induces concerted domain motions within a single Ca-ATPase polypeptide chain that may play a critical role in facilitating substrate binding and utilization.

Abstract
Inwardly rectifying K+ current (IKir) in freshly isolated bovine retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells was studied in the whole cell recording configuration of the patch-clamp technique. When cells were dialyzed with pipette solution containing no ATP, IKir ran down completely in <10 min [half time (t1/2) = 1.9 min]. In contrast, dialysis with 2 mM ATP sustained IKir for 10 min or more. Rundown was also prevented with 4 mM GTP or ADP. When 0.5 mM ATP was used, IKir ran down by approximately 71%. Mg2+ was a critical cofactor because rundown occurred when the pipette solution contained 4 mM ATP but no Mg2+ (t1/2 = 1.8 min). IKir also ran down when the pipette solution contained 4 mM Mg2+ + 4 mM 5'-adenylylimidodiphosphate (t1/2 = 2.7 min) or 4 mM adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (t1/2 = 1.9 min), nonhydrolyzable and poorly hydrolyzable ATP analogs, respectively. We conclude that the sustained activity of IKir in bovine RPE requires intracellular MgATP and that the underlying mechanism may involve ATP hydrolysis.

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

Abstract
We have used multilamellar crystals of the ATP-driven calcium pump from sarcoplasmic reticulum to address the structural effects of calcium binding to the enzyme. They are stacks of disk-shaped two-dimensional crystals. A density map projected along the lipid bilayer was obtained at 9-A resolution by frozen-hydrated electron microscopy. Although only in projection, much more details of the structure were revealed than previously available, especially in the transmembrane region. Quantitative comparison was made with the model obtained from the tubular crystals of this enzyme formed in the absence of calcium. Unexpectedly large differences in conformation were found, particularly in the cytoplasmic domain.

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
Escherichia coli was used to overexpress the large cytoplasmic loop of the rat Na,K-ATPase. A 1260-base DNA segment encoding Lys354-Lys774 of the rat alpha1-subunit was constructed via polymerase chain reaction. The polymerase chain reaction product was successfully subcloned into the expression vector pET-28 (Novagen), which produces an N-terminal 6-histidine-tagged fusion protein. The pET-28 vector containing rat alpha-loop, i.e. pAN, was used to transform calcium-competent E. coli BL21(DE3) cells, and positive clones were selected by kanamycin resistance. Bacterial cultures were grown, and protein synthesis was induced with isopropyl beta-D-thiogalactoside. Cells were harvested and lysed, revealing production of the His-tagged fusion protein ( approximately 46 kDa). The fusion protein was affinity-purified from other soluble cellular proteins via a Ni-NTA column, which routinely yielded approximately 20 mg of soluble His6-alpha-loop/L cell culture. The His6-alpha-loop retained significant native structure, as evidenced by the ability of ATP and ADP (but not AMP, CTP, GTP, or UTP) to protect against chemical modification by either fluorescein isothiocyanate or maleimidylanilinonapthalene sulfonic acid. More specifically, circular dichroism spectroscopy was used to estimate the secondary structure of the His6 loop, revealing an ordered folding composed of 23% alpha-helix, 23% antiparallel beta-sheet, 4% parallel beta-sheet, 19% beta-turn, and 32% random coil. The 6-histidine loop bound the fluorescent ATP analog trinitrophenyl-ATP with high affinity, as determined by measuring the fluorescence changes associated with binding. Affinities for ATP ( approximately 350 microM) and ADP ( approximately 550 microM) were determined by their ability to compete with and displace 2',3'-O-[2,4,6,-trinitrophenyl]-ATP. These nucleotide affinities are similar to those observed for the E2 conformation of the intact Na,K-ATPase.

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

Abstract
Members of the ABC transporter superfamily contain two nucleotide binding domains. To date, the three dimensional structure of no member of this super-family has been elucidated. To gain structural insight, the known structures of several other nucleotides binding proteins can be used as a framework for modeling these domains. We have modeled both nucleotide binding domains of the protein CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) using the two similar domains of mitochondrial F1-ATPase. The models obtained, provide useful insights into the putative functions of these domains and their possible interaction as well as a rationale for the basis of Cystic Fibrosis causing mutations. First, the two nucleotide binding domains (folds) of CFTR are each predicted to span a 240-250 amino acid sequence rather than the 150-160 amino acid sequence originally proposed. Second, the first nucleotide binding fold, is predicted to catalyze significant rates of ATP hydrolysis as a catalytic base (E504) resides near the y phosphate of ATP. This prediction has been verified experimentally [Ko, Y.H., and Pedersen, P.L. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 24330-24338], providing support for the model. In contrast, the second nucleotide binding fold is predicted at best to be a weak ATPase as the glutamic acid residue is replaced with a glutamine. Third, F508, which when deleted causes approximately 70% of all cases of cystic fibrosis, is predicted to lie in a cleft near the nucleotide binding pocket. All other disease causing mutations within the two nucleotide binding domains of CFTR either reside near the Walker A and Walker B consensus motifs in the heart of the nucleotide binding pocket, or in the C motif which lies outside but near the nucleotide binding pocket. Finally, the two nucleotide binding domains of CFTR are predicted to interact, and in one of the two predicted orientations, F508 resides near the interface. This is the first report where both nucleotide binding domains of an ABC transporter and their putative domain-domain interactions have been modeled in three dimensions. The methods and the template used in this work can be used to analyze the structures and function of the nucleotide binding domains of all other members of the ABC transporter super-family.

Abstract
The energy-rich compound acetyl phosphate (ACP) was examined as a substrate for energy-linked reactions by the yeast plasma membrane H+-ATPase. The hydrolysis of ACP was sensitive to inhibition by vanadate with an IC50 approximately 1 microM, which is comparable to the level obtained in the presence of ATP. A Km of 8.29 +/- 0.65 mM for the hydrolysis of ACP was approximately 10-fold higher than that obtained for ATP, while Vmax values of 8.66 +/- 0.29 and 7.23 +/- 0.34 micromol Pi mg(-1) min(-1) were obtained with ATP and ACP, respectively. ACP formed a phosphorylated intermediate that was efficiently chased with hydroxylamine. Both ACP and ATP effectively protected the enzyme from trypsin-induced inactivation and formed identical tryptic digestion patterns, suggesting that ACP mimics the formation of conformational intermediates induced by ATP. However, unlike ATP, ACP was unable to drive proton transport by H+-ATPase. In addition, a pma1-S368F mutant enzyme that is highly insensitive to inhibition by vanadate in the presence of ATP was largely sensitive to vanadate in the presence of ACP. These results are interpreted in terms of a reverse, short-circuit pathway of the normal P-type ATPase kinetic pathway, in which the formation of E2P by-passes the E1P high-energy intermediate. In this pathway, ACP favors the formation of an E2P conformational state, which can interact with classical inhibitors like vanadate, but possesses insufficient free energy to drive proton transport by the H+-ATPase.

Abstract
Mutations of D586 in the DPPR sequence of sodium pump decrease the enzyme's affinity for inorganic phosphate [Farley R. A., Heart, E., Kabalin, M., Putnam, D., Wang, K., Kasho, V. N., and Faller, L. D. (1997) Biochemistry 36, 941-951]. Therefore, it was proposed that D586 coordinates the Mg2+ required for catalytic activity. This hypothesis is tested (1) by determining the substrate for catalysis of 18O exchange between inorganic phosphate and water and (2) by comparing conserved amino acid sequences in P-type pumps with the primary structures of enzymes of known tertiary structure that catalyze phosphoryl group transfer. From the isotope exchange data, it is concluded that the Mg2+-dependent and Na+- and K+-stimulated ATPase binds Mg2+ before inorganic phosphate. Sequence homology is demonstrated between the conserved DPPR and MV(I,L)TGD sequences of P-type pumps and two conserved adenylate kinase sequences that coordinate Mg2+ and/or bind nucleotide in the crystal structure of the yeast enzyme. A model for the Mg2+ site of P-type pumps and the mechanism of phosphoryl group transfer is proposed and tested by demonstrating that the conserved sequences are also structurally homologous.

Abstract
A total of sixteen open reading frames encoding for P-type ATPases have been identified in the complete genome sequence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Phylogenetic analysis distinguishes 6 distinct families. Topology predictions, identification of aminoacid sequence motifs and phenotype analysis of the available mutants suggest that these families correspond to ATPases transporting either H+ (2 members), Ca2+ (2 members), Na+ (3 members), heavy metals (2 members), possibly aminophospholipids (5 members including 4 new ones) or unknown substrates (2 new members). It is proposed that the latter family which has homologs in Tetrahymena thermophila, Plasmodium falciparum and Caenorhabditis elegans constitutes a new group called P4-ATPases with characteristic topology and aminoacid signatures.

Abstract
PMR1, a P-type ATPase cloned from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was previously localized to the Golgi, and shown to be required for normal secretory processes (Antebi, A., and Fink, G.R. (1992) Mol. Biol. Cell 3, 633-654). We provide biochemical evidence that PMR1 is a Ca2+-transporting ATPase in the Golgi, a hitherto unusual location for a Ca2+ pump. As a starting point for structure-function analysis using a mutagenic approach, we used the strong and inducible heat shock promoter to direct high level expression of PMR1 from a multicopy plasmid. Yeast lysates were separated on sucrose density gradients, and fractions assayed for organellar markers. PMR1 is found in fractions containing the Golgi marker guanosine diphosphatase, and is associated with an ATP-dependent, protonophore-insensitive 45Ca2+ uptake activity. This activity is virtually abolished in the absence of the expression plasmid. Furthermore, replacement of the active site aspartate within the phosphorylation domain had the expected effect of abolishing Ca2+ transport activity entirely. Interestingly, the mutant enzymes (Asp-371 --> Glu and Asp-371 --> Asn) demonstrated proper targeting to the Golgi, unlike analogous mutations in the related yeast H+-ATPase. Detailed characterization of calcium transport by PMR1 showed that sensitivity to inhibitors (vanadate, thapsigargin, and cyclopiazonic acid) and affinity for substrates (MgATP and Ca2+) were different from the previously characterized sarco/endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPases. PMR1 therefore represents a new and distinct P-type Ca2+-ATPase. Because close homologs of PMR1 have been cloned from rat and other organisms, we suggest that Ca2+-ATPases in the Golgi will form a discrete subgroup that are important for functioning of the secretory pathway.

Abstract
The location of the ATP-binding site of a P-type ion pump, Ca(2+)-ATPase from rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum, was examined by cryoelectron microscopy. A nonhydrolyzable analog of ATP, beta, gamma-bidentate chromium (III) complex of ATP (CrATP), was used to stabilize the enzyme in the Ca(2+)-occluded state. Tubular crystals were then induced by vanadate in the presence of EGTA, keeping CrATP bound to the enzyme. The three-dimensional structures of the crystals were determined at 14 A resolution by cryoelectron microscopy and helical image analysis. Statistical comparison of the structures with and without CrATP showed clear and significant differences at the groove proposed previously as the ATP-binding pocket.

Abstract
A cDNA encoding a plasma membrane Ca2+ pump mutant V674P(ct120) was constructed and expressed in COS-1 cells. Immunoblots of transfected COS-1 membranes showed that the V674P(ct120) and the wild-type hPMCA4b(ct120) proteins were expressed at similar levels. The change of Val674 to Pro reduced the activity of the hPMCA4b(ct120) to an extent similar to that observed previously in the full-length Ca2+ pump (Adamo et al. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 30111-30114). Despite its lower activity, the apparent affinity for Ca2+ of the V674P(ct120) enzyme was at least as high as that of hPMCA4b(ct120), indicating that substitution of Val674 by Pro did not impair the interaction of the enzyme with Ca2+. The sensitivity of the V674P(ct120) enzyme to inhibition by vanadate was not significantly different from that of the hPMCA4b(ct120), supporting the idea that the mutation did not alter the equilibrium between E2-E1. The study of the Mg2+ dependency of the Ca2+ transport showed that the V674P(ct120) mutant reached maximum activation at 100 microM Mg2+ in contrast with 500 microM in the hPMCA4b(ct120). Furthermore, while at 2 mM Mg2+ the hPMCA4b(ct120) showed no sign of inhibition, the activity of the mutant decreased to less than 50% of the maximum activity observed at 100 microM Mg2+. These results indicate that the decrease in the activity observed upon substitution of Val674 by Pro was due to a higher sensitivity to Mg2+ as inhibitor.

Abstract
A model for the active site of P type ATPases has been tested by site-directed mutagenesis of amino acids in two conserved sequences of Mg(2+)-dependent and Na(+)- and K(+)-stimulated ATPase. The mutants K501R, K501E, D586E, D586N, P587A, and P588A were expressed in yeast cells and compared with wild type. In addition to previously published assays of adenosine 5'-triphosphate binding and hydrolysis, measurements of 18O exchange between Pi and water have been used to identify steps in the E2 half of the reaction cycle affected by the mutations. The study supports the prediction that K501 in the KGAP sequence interacts with adenosine 5'-triphosphate. However, quantitative comparisons of the effect of mutation K501E on the activity with the effects of mutations to an enzyme of known structure that also catalyzes phosphoryl group transfer make a direct role for the positive charge on the side chain of K501 in catalysis by stabilizing the transition state unlikely. No evidence for the predicted interaction between D586 and the hydroxyl groups of ribose was found. However, the data do indicate that the spatial organization of the loop containing the DPPR sequence is critical for phosphorylation of the enzyme. A role for D586 in coordinating the Mg2+ that is required for activity is proposed.

Abstract
Sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles were treated with 1, 2-cyclohexanedione (CHD) in sodium borate (pH 8.0). The Ca2+-ATPase activity was completely inhibited. Inhibition of Mg.ATP and Mg.ADP binding to the high affinity ATP binding site as well as inhibition of phosphorylation with ATP occurred simultaneously with the inhibition of the Ca2+-ATPase activity. Phosphorylation with acetyl phosphate was not inhibited. The Ca2+-ATPase was strongly protected by Mg.ATP, Mg.ADP, and Mg.AMP against this inhibition. Binding of acetyl phosphate or Pi to the enzyme gave no protection. Phosphorylation with acetyl phosphate also had no protective effect. Peptide mapping of the tryptic digests, detection of peptides containing CHD-modified arginyl residues with Girard's reagent T, and sequencing revealed that Arg-489, Arg-505, and Arg-678 were modified with CHD. Arg-489 and Arg-678 were almost completely protected by Mg.ATP against this modification, but partially protected by prelabeling with fluorescein 5-isothiocyanate, which occupies the adenosine binding region in the ATP binding site. In contrast, Arg-505 was slightly protected by Mg.ATP and almost completely protected by prelabeling with fluorescein 5-isothiocyanate. Taken together, these findings suggest that Arg-489 and Arg-678 are located in or near the region occupied by the triphosphate moiety of ATP, either or both of these residues being in or close to the region occupied by the alpha-phosphoryl group in the high affinity ATP binding site and involved in the CHD-induced inhibition of this enzyme and that Arg-505 is very close to (but slightly out of) the adenosine binding region in the ATP binding site. The acetyl phosphatase activity and phosphorylation with Pi were also inhibited by the CHD treatment, but the inhibitions were considerably slower than those described above. This suggests that the arginyl residues involved in these inhibitions are distinct from that involved in the inhibition of the Ca2+-ATPase activity.

Abstract
Genetic probing was used to examine conserved amino acid clusters in the first cytoplasmic loop domain (LOOP1) linking transmembrane segments 2 and 3 of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Deletion of the LOOP1 region in PMA1 resulted in a defective enzyme. Scanning alanine mutagenesis of conserved residues produced lethal cell phenotypes in 14 of 26 amino acids, suggesting major enzyme defects. Most viable mutants showed growth characteristics that were comparable to wild type. Two mutations, I183A and D185A, produced reduced growth rates, hygromycin B resistance, and low pH sensitivity, which are phenotypes associated with defects in the H+-ATPase. However, both mutant enzymes displayed near-normal kinetics for ATP hydrolysis in vitro. Localized random mutagenesis was also performed at sites Glu195, Val196, and Ile210, which all showed lethal phenotypes upon conversion to alanine. Amino acids with polar side groups could substitute for Glu195, while Val196 could not tolerate polar side group moieties. Nine mutations at Ile210 proved lethal, including K, R, E, P, H, N, V, G, and A, while functional enzyme was obtained with S, C, M, and L. Normal rates and extents of pH gradient formation were observed for all mutant enzymes, except I183A and D185A. Detailed analysis of the I183A enzyme indicated that it hydrolyzed ATP like wild type, but it appeared to inefficiently couple ATP hydrolysis to proton transport. In total, these results affirm that conserved amino acids in LOOP1 are important to H+-ATPase function, and purturbations in this region can alter the efficiency of energy coupling.

Abstract
Membrane segment 4 of P-type cation pumps has been suggested to play a critical role in the coupling of ATP hydrolysis to ion translocation. In this study, structure-function relationships in M4 of the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) plasma membrane H+-ATPase have been explored 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). One substitution (I329A) led to arrest of the enzyme at an early stage of biogenesis, and three others (G333A, L338A, G349A) reduced ATP hydrolysis to near-background levels. The remaining 26 mutants were expressed well enough in secretory vesicles (44-121% of wild type) and had sufficient ATPase activity (16-123% of wild type) to be characterized in detail. When acridine orange fluorescence quenching was used to measure rates of ATP-dependent proton pumping over a range of ATP concentrations, only minor changes were seen. In kinetic studies, however, seven of the mutant enzymes (I331A, I332A, V334A, V336A, V341A, V342A, and M346A) were resistant to vanadate inhibition, and three of them (I332A, V336A, and V341A) also had a decreased Km and increased pH optimum for ATP hydrolysis. Limited trypsinolysis was used to probe the structure of two different Val-336 substitutions, V336A, described above, and V336R, which displayed little or no ATPase activity. Both were cleaved at a relatively normal rate to give a pattern of fragments essentially identical to that seen with the wild-type enzyme. However, while vanadate, ADP, and ATP were able to protect the wild-type and V336A enzymes against trypsinolysis, the V336R ATPase was protected only by ADP and ATP. Taken together, the data suggest that key residues in the M4 segment may help to communicate the E1-E2 conformational change to ion-binding sites in the membrane.

Abstract
Erythrosin B was used to photo-oxidize the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase. The ATPase activity is rapidly and irreversibly inhibited by photo-oxidation with erythrosin. This inhibition is protected by the presence of ATP during the photo-oxidation period. After photo-oxidation, the steady-state phosphorylation by ATP remains almost unchanged, whereas phosphorylation by inorganic phosphate is impaired. The pseudo-first order rate constants for phosphorylation by 15 microM ATP at 25 degrees C are strongly inhibited when starting from either a Ca2+-bound or a Ca2+-free enzyme form, decreasing from 145 to 23 s-1 for the Ca2+-bound form and from 50 to 18 s-1 for the Ca2+-free form. Concurrently, the rate constants for dephosphorylation are also severely inhibited, changing from a fast double exponential to a very slow single exponential decay in the reverse direction and from a moderately slow single to a very slow single exponential decay in the forward direction. Ca2+ binding data show that the phosphorylated intermediate formed by the photo-oxidized enzyme contains two occluded Ca2+, and TNP-ATP fluorescence measurements indicate that it accumulates in a E1-P.Ca2-like conformation. Protection by ADP against glutaraldehyde-induced cross-linking indicates that ADP binding to Ca2+-ATPase is not impaired by photo-oxidation nor by free erythrosin. These data support the view that an ADP-insensitive, Ca2+-bound, slowly interconverting phosphoenzyme is formed. Thus, photo-oxidation with erythrosin B leads to impairment of phosphoryl transfer reactions and related conformational changes.

Abstract
Inactivation of the wild-type human plasma membrane Ca2+ pump (isoform 4b) by fluorescein isothiocyanate is accompanied by covalent modification of Lys591. The mutation of Lys591 to arginine reduced the Ca2+ transport activity to 35% of the wild-type, and diminished the amount of acylphosphate formed from ATP by a corresponding amount. When this mutant was treated with fluorescein isothiocyanate; the enzyme was still irreversibly inactivated, even though no reactive residue was available at position 591. The results show that, although Ca2+ pump function is sensitive to the residue at position 591, Lys591 is not essential for enzyme activity. They also demonstrate that irreversible inhibition of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump by fluorescein isothiocyanate does not require the covalent modification of Lys591. This indicates that fluorescein isothiocyanate reacts with lysine residues at other positions in addition to Lys591.

Abstract
The first indication of the size of a conformational change implicated in ion transport by sodium pump has been obtained by measuring the change in efficiency of fluorescence energy transfer between two specific locations on the alpha-subunit. The donor (5'-(iodoacetamido)fluorescein) attaches covalently to cysteine-457, and the acceptor (2'(or 3')-O-(trinitrophenyl)adenosine 5'-triphosphate) binds reversibly to the active site. The acceptor binds nearly 2 orders of magnitude tighter to the Na+ than to the K+ conformation of the enzyme and quenches donor fluorescence more efficiently in the Na+ than in the K+ conformation. The estimated distance between donor and acceptor, assuming random orientation of their emission and absorption dipoles, increases 2.9 +/- 0.6 A when the enzyme changes from the Na+ to the K+ conformation. Stopped-flow measurements of the change in fluorescence energy transfer efficiency with time when the doubly-labeled pump is mixed with Na+ or K+ demonstrate that the donor/acceptor pair reports the change between the E1 and E2 conformations of unphosphorylated enzyme. The observed first-order rate constant for the change in energy transfer efficiency depends sigmoidally on [K+] and inversely on [Na+], and both rate and amplitude data for the change in energy transfer efficiency can be fit with the same values of the rate and ion-dissociation constants as published data for the conformational change between E1 and E2 obtained by singly labeling the enzyme with fluorophores that report changes in protein microenvironment. The prerequisite for successfully measuring the distance change and equating the protein rearrangement with a step in the catalysis-transport cycle is that the donor by itself does not report the conformational change.

Abstract
The cytoplasmic domain linking transmembrane segments 2 and 3 (LOOP1) of the yeast H(+)-ATPase was probed by the introduction of unique factor Xa recognition sites. Three sites, I170EGR, I254EGR and I275EGR, representing different structural regions of the LOOP1 domain, were engineered by site-specific mutagenesis of the PMA1 gene. In each case, multiple amino acid substitutions were required to form the factor Xa sites, which enabled an analysis of clustered mutations. Both I170EGR and I275EGR-containing mutants grew at normal rates, but showed prominent growth resistance to hygromycin B and sensitivity to low external pH. The engineered I254EGR site within the predicted beta-strand region produced a recessive lethal phenotype, indicating that mutations G254I and F257R were not tolerated. Mutant I170EGR- and I275EGR-containing enzymes showed relatively normal Km and Vmax values, but they displayed a strong insensitivity to inhibition by vanadate. An I170EGR/I275EGR double mutant was more significantly perturbed showing a reduced Vmax and pronounced vanadate insensitivity. The I170EGR site within the putative alpha-helical stalk region was cleaved to a maximum of 10% by factor Xa under non-denaturing conditions resulting in a characteristic 81 kDa fragment, whereas the I275EGR site, near the end of the beta-strand region, showed about 30-35% cleavage with the appearance of a 70 kDa fragment. A I170EGR/I275EGR double mutant enzyme showed about 55-60% cleavage. The cleavage profile for the mutant enzymes was enhanced under denaturing conditions, but was unaffected by MgATP or MgATP plus vanadate. Cleavage at the I275EGR position had no adverse effects on ATP hydrolysis or proton transport by the H(+)-ATPase making it unlikely that this localized region of LOOP1 influences coupling. Overall, these results suggest that the local region encompassing I275EGR is accessible to factor Xa, while the region around I170EGR appears buried. Although there is no evidence for gross molecular motion at either site, the effects of multiple amino acid substitutions in these regions suggest that the LOOP1 domain is conformationally active, and that perturbations in this domain affect the distribution of conformational intermediates during steady-state catalysis.

Abstract
Erythrosin B and eosin Y stimulate p-nitrophenyl phosphate hydrolysis by purified sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase by nearly 2-3 fold in the presence of Ca(2+). This stimulation is not due to the change on the apparent affinity for substrate but is indeed due to acceleration of the turnover rate of the enzyme. Stimulation reaches a maximum at approximately 5 microM erythrosin or 20 microM eosin and is strictly dependent on the presence of Ca(2+) in reaction media, while higher concentrations of dye progressively inhibit phosphatase activity. Labeling with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) largely shifts the Km for p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) and completely abolishes the stimulation of phosphatase activity induced by erythrosin in the presence of Ca(2+), apparently by FITC impairing dye binding to an activator site and allowing only manifestation of an inhibitory binding site. In the absence of Ca(2+), both erythrosin and eosin inhibit pNPP hyrolysis with Ic50 values 3-4 fold higher than the maximally stimulatory enzyme with FITC, which by its turn does not affect pNPPase activity in absence of Ca(2+). It is suggested that stimulation and inhibition of phosphatase activity are related to two simultaneous and physically different nucleotide analog binding sites.

Abstract
Electron microscopy of multilamellar crystals of CA(2+)-ATPase currently offers the best opportunity for obtaining a high-resolution structure of this ATP-driven ion pump. Under certain conditions small, wormlike crystals are formed and provide views parallel to the lamellar plane, from which parameters of lamellar stacking can be directly measured. Assuming that molecular packing is the same, data from these views could supplement those obtained by tilting large, thin platelike crystals. However, we were surprised to discover that the lamellar spacing was variable and depended on the amount of glycerol present during crystallization (20% versus 5%). Projection maps (h,0,l) from these womklike crystals suggest different molecular contacts that give rise to the different lamellar spacings. Based on an orthogonal projection map (h,k,0) from collapsed, wormlike crystals and on x-ray powder patterns, we conclude that molecular packing within the lamellar plane is the same as that in thin, platelike crystals and is unaffected by glycerol. Finally, the orientation of molecules in the lamellar plane was characterized from freeze-dried, shadowed crystals. Comparing the profile of molecules in these multilamellar crystals with that previously observed in helical tubes induced by vanadate gives structural evidence of the conformational change that accompanies binding of calcium of Ca(2+)-ATPase.
