Abstract
Enzymes are able to handle the energy derived from the hydrolysis of phosphate compounds in such a way as to determine the parcel that is used for work and the fraction that is converted into heat. The sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPases (SERCA) is a family of membrane-bound ATPases that are able to transport Ca(2+) ion across the membrane using the chemical energy derived from ATP hydrolysis. The heat released during ATP hydrolysis by SERCA may vary from 10 up to 30 kcal/mol depending on the SERCA isoform used and on whether or not a Ca(2+) gradient is formed across the membrane. Drugs such as heparin, dimethyl sulfoxide and the platelet-activating factor (PAF) are able to modify the fraction of the chemical energy released during ATP hydrolysis that is used for Ca(2+) transport and the fraction that is dissipated in the surrounding medium as heat. The thyroid hormone 3,5,3'-triiodo L: -thyronine (T(3)) regulates the expression and function of the thermogenic SERCA isoforms. Modulation of heat production by SERCA might be one of the mechanisms involved in the increased thermogenesis found in hyperthyroidism.

Abstract
The Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) found in vesicles derived from the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum vesicles of rats brown adipose tissue and rabbit white muscle were identified by gel electrophoresis, Western blot, electron microscopy and immunolabeling with gold particles. In both tissues, the isoform found was SERCA 1. The Ca2+ affinity of the fat SERCA 1 was different from the muscle isoform. The degree of uncoupling is estimated measuring the ratio between Ca2+ transport and ATP cleaved. In brown fat vesicles the degree of uncoupling varied depending on the Ca2+ concentration of the medium. This was not observed in vesicles derived from muscle. At all Ca2+ concentrations tested, the uncoupling was not related to Ca2+ leakage from the membrane and was far more pronounced in fat than in muscle vesicle. When a Ca2+ gradient was formed across the vesicles membrane the heat released during ATP hydrolysis varied between 22 and 26 Kcal/mol in both fat and muscle vesicles but in the absence of a gradient the heat released was 17 Kcal/mol in fat and 12 Kcal/mol in muscle. The data reported indicate that the SERCA 1 of brown adipocytes is far more thermogenic than the white muscle SERCA 1, and suggest that, in addition to storing Ca2+ inside the endoplasmic reticulum, the SERCA 1 may represent a source of heat production contributing to the thermogenic function of brown adipose tissue.

Abstract
Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-ATPase was phosphorylated by Pi at pH 8.0 in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO). Under these conditions, it was possible to measure transient 45Ca2+ binding to the phosphoenzyme. Binding reached 1.2 Ca2+ per phosphoenzyme (E-PCax) within 10 min in 30% Me2SO, 20 mM MgCl2 and 0.1 mM Pi and the phosphoenzyme only decreased by 23% during this period. This Ca2+ binding was abolished by thapsigargin, showing that it is associated with functional sites of the Ca2+-ATPase. At 40% Me2SO, simultaneous addition of Ca2+ and ADP increased Ca2+ binding up to almost four Ca2+ per phosphoenzyme (ADPE-PCay), revealing a species bearing simultaneously four Ca2+ sites. Both E-PCax and ADPE-PCay were further identified as distinct species by (2',3'-O-2(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)adenosine 5'-triphosphate) fluorescence, which revealed long-range modifications in the Ca2+-transport sites induced by ADP binding to E-P. In addition, E-PCax was shown to be a functional intermediate of the cycle leading to ATP synthesis provided that Me2SO was diluted. These findings indicate that more than two functional Ca2+-sites exist on the functional Ca2+-ATPase unit, and that the additional sites become accessible upon ADP addition. This is compatible with a four-site model of the SR Ca2+-ATPase allowing simultaneous binding of Ca2+ at lumenal and cytosolic sites. The stoichiometries for Ca2+ binding found here could either be interpreted as binding of four Ca2+ on a Ca2+-ATPase monomer considered as the functional unit or as binding of two Ca2+ per monomer of a functional dimer.

Abstract
The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase is able to modulate the distribution of energy released during ATP hydrolysis, so that a portion of energy is used for Ca2+ transport (coupled ATPase activity) and a portion is converted into heat (uncoupled ATPase activity). In this report it is shown that T4 administration to rabbits promotes an increase in the rates of both the uncoupled ATPase activity and heat production in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, and that the degree of activation varies depending on the muscle type used. In white muscles hyperthyroidism promotes a 0.8-fold increase of the uncoupled ATPase activity and in red muscle a 4-fold increase. The yield of vesicles from hyperthyroid muscles is 3-4-fold larger than that obtained from normal muscles; thus the rate of heat production by the Ca2+-ATPase expressed in terms of g of muscle in hyperthyroidism is increased by a factor of 3.6 in white muscles and 12.0 in red muscles. The data presented suggest that the Ca2+-ATPase uncoupled activity may represent one of the heat sources that contributes to the enhanced thermogenesis noted in hyperthyroidism.

Abstract
In this report a sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) was identified in rats brown adipose tissue. Electrophoretic analysis of brown fat microssomal protein yields a 110-kDa band that is reactive to SERCA 1 antibody but is not reactive to SERCA 2 antibodies. Nevertheless, the kinetics properties of the brown fat SERCA differ from the skeletal muscle SERCA 1 inasmuch they manifest a different Ca2+ affinity and a much higher degree of ATPase/Ca2+ uncoupling. A SERCA enzyme is not found in white fat. Fatty acids promoted Ca2+ leakage from brown fat vesicles. The heat released during ATP hydrolysis was -24.7 kcal/mol when a Ca2+ gradient was formed across the vesicles membrane and -14.4 kcal/mol in the absence of a gradient. The data reported suggest that in addition to storing Ca2+ inside the endoplasmic reticulum, the Ca2+-ATPase may represent a source of heat production contributing to the thermogenic function of brown adipose tissue.

Abstract
After formation of a Ca(2+) gradient, the amount of heat released during the hydrolysis of each mol of ATP cleaved (DeltaH(cal)) varies depending on the Ca(2+)-ATPase isoform expressed by the muscle cell. In vesicles derived from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of white muscle (SERCA 1) most of the ATP cleaved is not coupled to Ca(2+) transport, and the DeltaH(cal) varies between -20 and -22 kcal/mol. In contrast, in vesicles derived from red muscle (SERCA 2a) the hydrolysis of ATP is coupled with Ca(2+) transport, and the DeltaH(cal) varies between -12 and -14 kcal/mol. Hyperthyroidism increases the rate of heat production by the Ca(2+)-ATPase fourfold in white muscle and 40-fold in red muscle. In hyperthyroid rabbits, the amount of sarcoplasmic reticulum protein recovered from white and red muscle is four- to fivefold greater than that obtained from control rabbits. Hyperthyroid red muscle expresses SERCA 1, and the vesicles derived from these muscle hydrolyze ATP through a catalytic route that is not coupled to Ca(2+) transport, thus increasing the amount of heat released during ATP hydrolysis, the DeltaH(cal) varying between -20 and -22 kcal/mol.

Abstract
Possible roles of the Lys(189)-Lys(205) outermost loop on the A domain of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase were explored by mutagenesis. Both nonconservative and conservative substitutions of Val(200) caused very strong inhibition of Ca(2+)-ATPase activity, whereas substitutions of other residues on this loop reduced activity only moderately. All of the Val(200) mutants formed phosphoenzyme intermediate (EP) from ATP. Isomerization from ADP-sensitive EP (E1P) to ADP-insensitive EP (E2P) was not inhibited in the mutants, and a substantially larger amount of E2P actually accumulated in the mutants than in wild-type sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase at steady state. In contrast, decay of EP formed from ATP in the presence of Ca(2+) was strongly inhibited in the mutants. Hydrolysis of E2P formed from P(i) in the absence of Ca(2+) was also strongly inhibited but was faster than the decay of EP formed from ATP, indicating that the main kinetic limitation of the decay comes after loss of ADP sensitivity but before E2P hydrolysis. On the basis of the well accepted mechanism of the Ca(2+)-ATPase, the limitation is likely associated with the Ca(2+)-releasing step from E2P.Ca(2). On the other hand, the rate of activation of dephosphorylated enzyme on high affinity Ca(2+) binding was not altered by the substitutions. In light of the crystal structures, the present results strongly suggest that Val(200) confers appropriate interactions of the Lys(189)-Lys(205) loop with the P domain in the Ca(2+)-released form of E2P. Results further suggest that these interactions, however, do not contribute much to domain organization in the dephosphorylated enzyme and thus would be mostly lost on E2P hydrolysis.

Abstract
The recent determination of the structure of the Ca2+-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum to atomic resolution in the Ca2+-bound state and to near atomic resolution in the Ca2+-free, decavanadate-bound state has paved the way for an ultimate complete understanding of the molecular mechanism of the P-type ATPases. Analysis of this new structure information together with the large amount of biochemical information about these enzymes that preceded it has produced important new revelations about how the P-type ATPases work. Most models propose that these transporters operate by a strictly conformational energy coupling mechanism in which conformational changes in the large cytoplasmic head region mechanically drive the ions to be transported from their binding sites in the transmembrane helix region 50 A away. However, while these enzymes do indeed undergo profound conformational changes, the available evidence suggests that they do not mechanically transduce the chemical energy of ATP hydrolysis into transmembrane ion gradients via these conformational changes. As an alternative, it is proposed that the effects of the chemical events that occur at the phosphorylation/dephosphorylation site in the cytoplasmic region are exerted on the ion-binding sites via two well-defined charge transfer pathways that electronically connect the chemical reaction site with the site of ion binding. The recognition of these charge transfer pathways provides rational explanations of all of the key biochemical features of the P-type ATPase catalytic cycle. Thus, although a few details await elucidation, a nearly complete understanding of the P-type ATPase reaction mechanism may be at hand.

Abstract
The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase transports Ca(2+) using the energy derived from ATP hydrolysis. During catalysis, part of the energy is used to translocate Ca(2+) across the membrane, and part is dissipated as heat. At 35 degrees C the heat released during the hydrolysis of each ATP molecule varies depending on the formation of a Ca(2+) gradient across the membrane. With leaky vesicles (no gradient) the heat released varies between 9 and 12 kcal/mol of ATP cleaved, and with intact vesicles (gradient), the heat released increases to 20-24 kcal/mol of ATP. After Ca(2+) accumulation, 82% of the Ca(2+)-ATPase activity is not coupled to Ca(2+) transport, and the ratio between Ca(2+) transported and ATP cleaved is 0.3. The addition of 20% dimethyl sulfoxide (v/v) to the medium or decreasing the temperature from 35 to 20 degrees C abolishes the difference of heat produced during ATP hydrolysis in the presence and absence of a gradient. This is accompanied by a simultaneous inhibition of the uncoupled ATPase activity and an increase of the Ca(2+)/ATP ratio from 0.3 to 1.3-1.4. It is concluded that the uncoupled Ca(2+)-ATPase is responsible for both the low Ca(2+)/ATP ratio measured during transport and the difference of heat produced during ATP hydrolysis in the presence and absence of a gradient.

Abstract
The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase transports Ca(2+) using the chemical energy derived from ATP hydrolysis. Part of the chemical energy is used to translocate Ca(2+) through the membrane (work) and part is dissipated as heat. The amount of heat produced during catalysis increases after formation of the Ca(2+) gradient across the vesicle membrane. In the absence of gradient (leaky vesicles) the amount of heat produced/mol of ATP cleaved is half of that measured in the presence of the gradient. After formation of the gradient, part of the ATPase activity is not coupled to Ca(2+) transport. We now show that NaF can impair the uncoupled ATPase activity with discrete effect on the ATPase activity coupled to Ca(2+) transport. For the control vesicles not treated with NaF, after formation of the gradient only 20% of the ATP cleaved is coupled to Ca(2+) transport, and the caloric yield of the total ATPase activity (coupled plus uncoupled) is 22.8 kcal released/mol of ATP cleaved. In contrast, the vesicles treated with NaF consume only the ATP needed to maintain the gradient, and the caloric yield of ATP hydrolysis is 3.1 kcal/mol of ATP. The slow ATPase activity measured in vesicles treated with NaF has the same Ca(2+) dependence as the control vesicles. This demonstrates unambiguously that the uncoupled activity is an actual pathway of the Ca(2+)-ATPase rather than a contaminating phosphatase. We conclude that when ATP hydrolysis occurs without coupled biological work most of the chemical energy is dissipated as heat. Thus, uncoupled ATPase activity appears to be the mechanistic feature underlying the ability of the Ca(2+)-ATPase to modulated heat production.

Abstract
Sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles of rabbit skeletal muscle accumulate Ca2+ at the expense of ATP hydrolysis. The heat released during the hydrolysis of each ATP molecule varies depending on whether or not a Ca2+ gradient is formed across the vesicle membrane. After Ca2+ accumulation, a part of the Ca2+-ATPase activity is not coupled with Ca2+ transport (Yu, X., and Inesi, G. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 4361-4367). I now show that both the heat produced during substrate hydrolysis and the uncoupled ATPase activity vary depending on the ADP/ATP ratio in the medium. With a low ratio, the Ca2+ transport is exothermic, and the formation of the gradient increases the amount of heat produced during the hydrolysis of each ATP molecule cleaved. With a high ADP/ATP ratio, the Ca2+ transport is endothermic, and formation of a gradient increased the amount of heat absorbed from the medium. Heat is absorbed from the medium when the Ca2+ efflux is coupled with the synthesis of ATP (5.7 kcal/mol of ATP). When there is no ATP synthesis, the Ca2+ efflux is exothermic (14-16 kcal/Ca2+ mol). It is concluded that in the presence of a low ADP concentration the uncoupled ATPase activity is the dominant route of heat production. With a high ADP/ATP ratio, the uncoupled ATPase activity is abolished, and the Ca2+ transport is endothermic. The possible correlation of these findings with thermogenesis and anoxia is discussed.

Abstract
Most prokaryotic signal-transduction systems and a few eukaryotic pathways use phosphotransfer schemes involving two conserved components, a histidine protein kinase and a response regulator protein. The histidine protein kinase, which is regulated by environmental stimuli, autophosphorylates at a histidine residue, creating a high-energy phosphoryl group that is subsequently transferred to an aspartate residue in the response regulator protein. Phosphorylation induces a conformational change in the regulatory domain that results in activation of an associated domain that effects the response. The basic scheme is highly adaptable, and numerous variations have provided optimization within specific signaling systems. The domains of two-component proteins are modular and can be integrated into proteins and pathways in a variety of ways, but the core structures and activities are maintained. Thus detailed analyses of a relatively small number of representative proteins provide a foundation for understanding this large family of signaling proteins.

Abstract
The ATP dependent Ca2+ uptake of platelet vesicles was inhibited by the two hydrophobic drugs trifluoperazine (TFP) and propranolol (PROP). Inhibition was significantly lowered when Pi was used instead of oxalate as a precipitant agent. When the ATPase ligands substrate (Mg2+ and Pi) were absent of the efflux medium, a slow release of Ca2+ which did not couple with ATP synthesis (passive Ca2+ efflux) was observed. Both, TFP and PROP enhanced the passive Ca2+ efflux. This enhanced efflux was partially inhibited only when Mg2+ and Pi were added together to the efflux reaction media, but it was not affected by spermidine, ruthenium red or thapsigargin (TG). The Ca2+ ionophores A23187 and ionomycin, also enhanced passive Ca2+ efflux. However, in this case, Ca2+ efflux was inhibited just by inclusion of Mg2+ to the medium. Ca2+ efflux promoted by Triton X-100 was not affected by either Mg2+ or Pi, included together or separately into the efflux medium. The ATP <==> Pi measured in the presence of Triton X-100 and millimolar Ca2+ concentrations was inhibited by both TFP and PROP, but not by Ca2+ ionophores up to 4 microM. The data suggest that the observed enhancement of passive Ca2+ efflux promoted by TFP and PROP could be attributed to a direct effect of these drugs over the platelet Ca2+ pump isoforms (Sarco Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase, SERCA2b and SERCA3) themselves, as it was reported for the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA1).

Abstract
The effects of ethanol on different sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-transport ATPases (SERCAs) were studied. In sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, ethanol concentrations varying from 5 to 20% promoted a progressive inhibition of Ca2+ uptake, enhancement of Ca2+ efflux, activation of the ATPase activity, increase of the enzyme phosphorylation by ATP and inhibition of enzyme phosphorylation by P1. The effects of ethanol on Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+ efflux were antagonized by Mg2+, P(i) and spermine. The increased efflux promoted by ethanol was antagonized by Ca2+ and thapsigargin. In brain and platelet vesicles a biphasic effect of ethanol was observed, so that activation occurred at low concentrations (5-10%) and inhibition at higher concentrations. The activation was not observed with the use of n-propanol and n-butanol. Different from the situation in sarcoplasmic reticulum, the decrease of the Ca2+ uptake in brain and platelet vesicles was associated with an inhibition of the ATPase activity. Mg2+ and P(i) antagonized the enhancement of Ca2+ efflux and the inhibition of Ca2+ uptake promoted by ethanol. However, thapsigargin and Ca2+ did not arrest the Ca2+ efflux promoted by ethanol in brain and platelet preparations. These results suggest that, in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, ethanol uncouples the pump, promoting its activity as a Ca2+ channel. The SERCA isoform found in skeletal muscle has different properties from the isoforms found in brain and blood platelets.

Abstract
Trout and rabbit (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPases from sarcoplasmic reticulum were compared for differences in thermal inactivation and susceptibility to trypsin digestion. The trout ATPase is more heat-sensitive than the rabbit ATPase and is stabilized by Ca2+, Na+, K+ and nucleotides. Solubilization of both ATPases shows that the two ATPases have different protein-intrinsic inactivation kinetics. When digested by trypsin, the two ATPases display different cleavage patterns. The present results indicate that the trout and rabbit ATPases have dissimilarities in protein structure that may explain the differences in thermal inactivation kinetics.

Abstract
The fatty acids palmitic (C16:0), stearic (C18:0), arachidic (C20:0) and arachidonic (C20:4) acids inhibit Ca2+ uptake and enhance Ca2+ efflux measured in vesicles derived from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscle. These effects of the fatty acids are impaired by the Ca(2+)-ATPase ligands Mg2+, Ca2+ and K+, and by drugs that block the leakage of Ca2+ through the Ca(2+)-ATPase such as Ruthenium Red, spermine [de Meis (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 5736-5742] and thapsigargin [de Meis and Inesi (1992) FEBS Lett. 299, 33-35].

Abstract
We have recently shown [Mészáros, L. G., & Bak, J. (1992) Biochemistry 31, 1195-1200] that, during the rapid phase of Ca2+ uptake into sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), internalization and binding of Ca2+ to the cytoplasmic high-affinity binding sites of the Ca2+ ATPase occur simultaneously, resulting in a transient supernumerary Ca/ATP stoichiometry. Here we address the question of whether the cytoplasmic high-affinity and the luminal low-affinity Ca2+ binding sites of the SR Ca2+ ATPase also coexist. SR vesicles were loaded with Ca2+ (0-10 mM), and then the kinetics of EP formation and decomposition as well as the maximum level of EP formed from radiolabeled ATP were determined at conditions which only allow single-cycle reactions to occur: empty or Ca-loaded SR vesicles (in micromolar extravesicular Ca2+) were either mixed with ATP plus millimolar EGTA or added in amounts that set a Ca2+ ATPase/ATP ratio of 80-85 at the initiation of the reaction. The rates of EP formation and decomposition were both significantly reduced in Ca-loaded, compared to empty (ionomycin-treated), vesicles. However, the value of EPmax was unaltered by Ca-loading, suggesting the existence of the enzyme intermediate, E.Ca2(cyt).Ca2(lum), i.e., the coexistence of the cytoplasmic and the luminal Ca2+ binding sites of the Ca-pump. These results suggest that the uphill transport of Ca2+ might not be based on an alternating relocation and conversion of the Ca2+ binding sites of the Ca2+ ATPase.

Abstract
Urea, in nondenaturing concentrations, inhibited Ca2+ uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles with no concomitant effect on ATP hydrolysis. This inhibition was antagonized by 5 mM oxalate and 20 mM orthophosphate. At concentrations of 0.2 to 1.0 M, urea induced an increase in the Ca2+ efflux from preloaded vesicles diluted in a medium at pH 7.0 containing 2 mM ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)N,N'-tetraacetic acid, 0.1 mM orthophosphate, and 0.1 mM MgCl2. The urea-induced efflux was arrested by ligands of the (Ca(2+)-Mg2+) ATPase, namely, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and ADP, and by ruthenium red and the polyamines spermine, spermidine, and putrescine. In the case of polyamines a dissociation between the effect on the efflux and the net Ca2+ uptake was observed, as only the efflux could be blocked by the drugs. Glycine betaine, trimethylamine-N-oxide, and sucrose antagonized the effects of urea on both the net Ca2+ uptake and the rate of Ca2+ efflux.

Abstract
The kinetics of Ca2+ transport mediated by the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca-ATPase were investigated by rapid kinetic techniques that either measure the disappearance of Ca2+ from the medium [stopped-flow photometry of Ca2+ indicators or rapid filtration (method 1)] or directly detect the changes in the accessibility of Ca2+ to the exterior of the membrane, i.e., occlusion of Ca2+ within the Ca pump and Ca2+ transport into the lumen of SR vesicles [EGTA quench (method 2)]. SR vesicles were preincubated in micromolar Ca2+ to form the E.2Cacyt intermediate of the Ca-ATPase, and then Ca2+ transport was initiated by addition of ATP. It was found that Ca2+ uptake measured by method 1 began with no lag phase, in spite of the prediction of kinetic models of the Ca-ATPase. Instead, the time course of Ca2+ uptake was found to have two components: a fast and a slow phase, similar to that obtained using method 2, although the rate constant of the fast phase determined by method 1 was considerably lower than that measured by method 2. The fast phase of Ca2+ uptake measured by method 1 was not influenced by either Ca2+ ionophore or detergent treatment, whereas the slow phase was diminished.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The conformational changes at the ATP-catalytic site of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-ATPase have been studied by the fluorescence of the fluorescein 5-isothiocyanate (FITC) bound to the adenine subsite. The FITC-SR fluorescence parameters have been examined in the pH range 5.7-8.0 in the presence of EGTA, Ca2+ or Ln3+ (La3+, Pr3+, Nd3+, Tb3+, etc.). A quantitative method to calculate the equilibrium between the protein conformers is proposed on the basis of the fluorometric titration curve analysis. The distance Nd(3+)-FITC was estimated to be about 1 nm at pH 6-7 and 1.7 nm at pH 8 which can be interpreted as an increase of the distance between the nucleotide and phosphorylation domains of Ca(2+)-ATPase in alkaline media. These studies suggest that the ligand-stabilized E1-form of Ca(2+)-ATPase can exist in two conformational states with the closed and opened interdomain cleft in the pH range 5.7-8.0. The pH-dependence of the ratio of these states correlates with that of the E1----E2 equilibrium without ligands. These dependences were approximated by simple Henderson-Hasselbach equations with pK 7.0 +/- 0.1, i.e. the transition between two protein conformations is probably governed by one proton dissociation.

Abstract
Bacterial motility and gene expression are controlled by a family of phosphorylated response regulators whose activities are modulated by an associated family of protein-histidine kinases. In chemotaxis there are two response regulators, CheY and CheB, that receive phosphoryl groups from the histidine kinase, CheA. Here we show that the response regulators catalyze their own phosphorylation in that both CheY and CheB can be phosphorylated in the complete absence of any auxiliary protein. Both CheY and CheB use the N-phosphoryl group in phosphoramidate (NH2PO3(2-)) as a phospho-donor. This enzymatic activity probably reflects the general ability of response regulators to accept phosphoryl groups from phosphohistidines in their associated kinases. It provides a general method for the study of activated response regulators in the absence of kinase proteins. CheY can also use intermediary metabolites such as acetyl phosphate and carbamoyl phosphate as phospho-donors. These reactions may provide a mechanism to modulate cell behavior in response to altered metabolic states.

Abstract
The effects of dimethyl sulfoxide (20% v/v) on the phosphorylation of Ca(2+)-ATPase of the sarcoplasmic reticulum by Pi vary depending on whether or not a Ca2+ gradient is formed across the vesicle membranes. In the absence of a Ca2+ gradient the solvent promotes a large increase in the affinity for Pi. This increase is no longer observed after the formation of a Ca2+ gradient. The enzyme affinity for Mg2+ is practically the same in the presence and absence of a gradient. Addition of dimethyl sulfoxide leads to an increase of the enzyme affinity for Mg2+ both in the presence and in the absence of a gradient.

Abstract
The first step towards ATP synthesis by the Ca2-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum is the phosphorylation of the enzyme by Pi. Phosphoenzyme formation requires both Pi and Mg2+. At 35 degrees C, the presence of a Ca2+ gradient across the vesicle membrane increases the apparent affinity of the ATPase for Pi more than 10-fold, whereas it had no effect on the apparent affinity for Mg2+. In the absence of a Ca2+ gradient, the phosphorylation reaction is inhibited by both K+ and Na+ at all Mg2+ concentrations used. However, in the presence of 1 mM Mg2+ and of a transmembrane Ca2+ gradient, the reaction is still inhibited by Na+, but the inhibition promoted by K+ is greatly decreased. When the Mg2+ concentration is raised above 2 mM, the enzyme no longer discriminates between K+ and Na+, and the phosphorylation reaction is equally inhibited by the two cations. Trifluoperazine, ruthenium red and spermidine were found to inhibit the phosphorylation reaction by different mechanisms. In the absence of a Ca2+ gradient, trifluoperazine competes with the binding to the enzyme of both Pi and Mg2+, whereas spermidine and ruthenium red were found to compete only with Mg2+. The data presented suggest that the enzyme has different binding sites for Mg2+ and for Pi.

Abstract
Previously [Inesi & de Meis (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 5929-5936] it was shown that dimethyl sulphoxide (Me2SO) increases the amount of Ca2+ accumulated by sarcoplasmic-reticulum vesicles. This effect was related to a decrease in the enzyme affinity for ADP from less than 20 microM to 1 mM. In the present work the apparent affinity of the ADP-sensitive phosphoenzyme for ADP was determined by measuring the rate of ATP synthesis in vesicles previously loaded with Ca2+, at different pH values and in the presence and absence of Me2SO (20%, v/v) and KCl. In all conditions tested, addition of Me2SO never promoted an increase of the apparent Km for ADP to a value higher than 25 microM. ADP inhibits the phosphorylation of the enzyme by Pi. Two components, with Ki values of 80 microM and 8 mM, were detected when vesicles previously loaded with Ca2+ were used. The high-affinity component (Ki 80 microM) was abolished after addition of Me2SO to the medium. Empty vesicles, on the other hand, exhibited only the low-affinity component (Ki 8 mM). During ATP synthesis in a totally aqueous medium, there was a decrease in the phosphoenzyme formed by Pi, after addition of 80-100 microM-ADP to the medium. In the presence of Me2SO this decrease was smaller. The sum of the fractions of phosphoenzyme formed by ATP and by Pi during Ca2+ uptake was higher in the presence of Me2SO than in a totally aqueous medium. Me2SO decreased the passive efflux of Ca2+ measured in the presence of 0.1 mM-Pi and 0.1 mM-MgCl2. In a totally aqueous medium the same decrease was observed when Pi and MgCl2 concentrations were raised to 4 mM. These data suggest that ADP binds to two different enzyme conformations. The binding to one of these conformations (*E) inhibits the phosphorylation of the enzyme by Pi, increases the efflux of Ca2+ and decreases the amount of Ca2+ accumulated by the vesicles.

Abstract
Conditions which were optimal for the stabilization of Ca2(+)-transporting ATPase in solubilized sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes (Pikułla, S., Mullner, N., Dux, L. and Martonosi, A. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 5277-5286) were also found conducive for preservation of (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity in detergent-solubilized erythrocyte plasma membrane for up to 60 days. Of particular importance for the stabilization of calmodulin-stimulated Ca2(+)-dependent activity of (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase of solubilized erythrocyte plasma membrane was the presence of Ca2+ (10-20 mM), glycerol, anti-oxidants, proteinase inhibitors and appropriate detergents. Among eight detergents tested octaethylene glycol dodecyl ether, polyoxyethylene glycol(10) lauryl alcohol and polydocanol were found to be promotive in long-term preservation of the enzyme activity. Under these conditions (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase of erythrocyte ghosts became highly stable and developed microcrystalline arrays after storage for 35 days. Electron micrographs of the negatively stained and thin sectioned material indicated that crystals of purified, detergent-solubilized, lipid-stabilized erythrocyte (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase differ from those of Ca2(+)-ATPase of detergent-solubilized sarcoplasmic reticulum microsomes.

Abstract
Cobalt ion inhibits the Ca2+ + Mg2(+)-ATPase activity of sealed sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, of solubilized membranes and of the purified enzyme. To use Co2+ appropriately as a spectroscopic ruler to map functional sites of the Ca2+ + Mg2(+)-ATPase, we have carried out studies to obtain the kinetic parameters needed to define the experimental conditions to conduct the fluorimetric studies. 1. The apparent K0.5 values of inhibition of this ATPase are 1.4 mM, 4.8 mM and 9.5 mM total Co2+ at pH 8.0, 7.0 and 6.0, respectively. The inhibition by Co2+ is likely to be due to free Co2+ binding to the enzyme. Millimolar Ca2+ can fully reverse this inhibition, and also reverses the quenching of the fluorescence of fluorescein-labeled sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes due to Co2+ binding to the Ca2+ + Mg2(+)-ATPase. Therefore, we conclude that Co2+ interacts with Ca2+ binding sites. 2. Co2+.ATP can be used as a substrate by this enzyme with Vmax of 2.4 +/- 0.2 mumol ATP hydrolyzed min-1 (mg protein)-1 at 20-22 degrees C and pH 8.0, and with a K0.5 of 0.4-0.5 mM. 3. Co2+ partially quenches, about 10 +/- 2%, the fluorescence of fluorescein-labeled sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ + Mg2(+)-ATPase upon binding to this enzyme at pH 8.0. From the fluorescence data we have estimated an average distance between Co2+ and fluorescein in the ATPase of 1.1-1.8 nm or 1.3-2.1 nm for one or two equidistant Co2+ binding sites, respectively. 4. Co2+.ATP quenches about 20-25% of the fluorescence of fluorescein-labeled Ca2+ + Mg2(+)-ATPase, from which we obtain a distance of 1.1-1.9 nm between Co2+ and fluorescein located at neighbouring catalytic sites.

Abstract
The binding of Ca2+ to 4-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD)-labeled sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2(+)-ATPase was accelerated markedly when the pH was changed at 11 degrees C from 6.5 to 8.0 at the time of Ca2+ addition. We examined the effect of pH on the enzyme conformational transition by measuring the kinetics of NBD fluorescence rises induced by a pH jump under various ligand conditions. The fast fluorescence rise following a pH jump from 6.0 or 6.5 to various test pHs in the presence and absence of Ca2+ proceeded monoexponentially. The amplitude of this fluorescence rise in the presence of Ca2+ was independent of the test pH, whereas the observed rate constant (kobs) increased markedly as the test pH increased. In contrast, the amplitude of the fast fluorescence rise in the absence of Ca2+ increased with increasing test pH, whereas kobs decreased. MgATP or Mg2+ influenced the pH dependences of these parameters in a complex way except for the amplitudes measured in the presence of Ca2+. These data could be simulated by using a reaction model in which Ca2+ binding is preceded by a rate-limiting enzyme conformational transition from a low to a high NBD fluorescence state and 1 mol each of H+ is liberated before and after this conformational transition. MgATP or Mg2+ appeared to promote this conformational transition by enhancing deprotonation of the enzyme. These results suggest that deprotonation may be the primary event in the activation of the unphosphorylated enzyme by Ca2+.

Abstract
The effects of the three hydrophobic molecules triphenylphosphine, trifluoperazine and 3-nitrophenol on Ca2+ uptake and ATPase activity in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles was investigated. When ATP was the substrate, triphenylphosphine (3 microM) increased the amount of Ca2+ accumulated by the vesicles. At high concentrations triphenylphosphine inhibited Ca2+ uptake. This effect varied depending on the ATP concentration and the type of nucleotide used. With ITP there was only inhibition and no activation of Ca2+ uptake by triphenylphosphine. On the other hand, trifluoperazine inhibited Ca2+ accumulation regardless of whether ATP or ITP was used as substrate. When 5 mM oxalate was included in the medium in order to avoid binding of Ca2+ to the low-affinity Ca2(+)-binding sites of the enzyme, both stimulation by triphenylphosphine and inhibition by trifluoperazine were reduced. In leaky vesicles at low Ca2+ concentrations, triphenylphosphine and 3-nitrophenol were competitive inhibitors of ATPase activity at the regulatory site of the enzyme (0.1-1 mM ATP). A striking difference was observed when both the high- and low-affinity Ca2(+)-binding sites were saturated. In this condition, triphenylphosphine and 3-nitrophenol promoted a 3-4-fold increase in the apparent affinity for ATP at its regulatory site.

Abstract
The temperature dependence of fluorescence polarization and Förster-type resonance energy transfer (FRET) was analyzed in the Ca2(+)-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum using protein tryptophan and site-specific fluorescence indicators such as 5-[2-[iodoacetyl)amino)ethyl]aminonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid (IAEDANS), fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate (FITC), 2',3'-O-(2,4,3-trinitrophenyl)adenosine monophosphate (TNP-AMP) or lanthanides (Pr3+, Nd3+) as probes. The normalized energy transfer efficiency between AEDANS bound at cysteine-670 and -674 and FITC bound at lysine-515 increases with increasing temperature in the range of 10-37 degrees C, indicating the existence of a relatively flexible structure in the region of the ATPase molecule that links the AEDANS to the FITC site. These observations are consistent with the theory of Somogyi, Matko, Papp, Hevessy, Welch and Damjanovich (Biochemistry 23 (1984) 3403-3411) that thermally induced structural fluctuations increase the energy transfer. Structural fluctuations were also evident in the energy transfer between FITC linked to the nucleotide-binding domain and Nd3+ bound at the putative Ca2+ sites. By contrast the normalized energy transfer efficiency between AEDANS and Pr3+ was relatively insensitive to temperature, suggesting that the region between cysteine-670 and the putative Ca2+ site monitored by the AEDANS-Pr3+ pair is relatively rigid. A combination of the energy transfer data with the structural information derived from analysis of Ca2(+)-ATPase crystals yields a structural model, in which the location of the AEDANS-, FITC- and Ca2+ sites are tentatively identified.

Abstract
The ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport in sarcoplasmic reticulum involves transitions between several structural states of the Ca2(+)-ATPase, that occur without major changes in the secondary structure. The rates of these transitions are modulated by the lipid environment and by interactions between ATPase molecules. Although the Ca2(+)-ATPase restricts the rotational mobility of a population of lipids, there is no evidence for specific interaction of the Ca2(+)-ATPase with phospholipids. Fluorescence polarization and energy transfer (FET) studies, using site specific fluorescent indicators, combined with crystallographic, immunological and chemical modification data, yielded a structural model of Ca2(+)-ATPase in which the binding sites of Ca2+ and ATP are tentatively identified. The temperature dependence of FET between fluorophores attached to different regions of the ATPase indicates the existence of 'rigid' and 'flexible' regions within the molecule characterized, by different degrees of thermally induced structural fluctuations.

Abstract
Equilibrium and kinetic aspects of Triton X-100 adsorption onto hydrophobic Bio-Beads SM2 were investigated in detail using the batch procedure originally described by Holloway, P.W. (1973) Anal. Biochem. 53, 304-308. The results demonstrated the importance of the initial detergent concentration, the amount of beads, the commercial source of the detergent, the temperature and the presence of phospholipids in determining the rates of Triton X-100 adsorption onto Bio-Beads. One of the main findings was that Bio-Beads allowed the almost complete removal of Triton X-100, whatever the initial experimental conditions. It was shown that monomeric as well as micellar detergent could be adsorbed and that a key factor in determining the rate of detergent removal was the availability of the free bead surface. Rates of detergent removal were found to be linearly related to the amount of beads even for bead concentrations above those sufficient to remove all the detergent initially present. Adsorptive capacity of phospholipids onto Bio-Beads SM2 was also analyzed and found to be much smaller (2 mg lipid per g of wet beads) than that of Triton X-100 (185 mg TX 100 per g of wet beads). A more general aspect of this work was that the use of Bio-Beads SM2 provided a convenient way for varying and controlling the time course of Triton X-100 removal. The method was further extended to the formation of liposomes from phospholipid-Triton X-100 micelles and the size of the liposomes was found to be critically dependent upon the rate of detergent removal. A general procedure was described to prepare homogeneous populations of vesicles. Freeze-fracture electron microscopy and permeability studies indicated that the liposomes thus obtained were unilamellar, relatively large and impermeable. Noteworthy, this new procedure was shown to be well suited for the reconstitution of different membrane transport proteins such as bacteriorhodopsin, Ca2(+)-ATPase and H(+)-ATPase.

Abstract
Signal transduction in bacterial chemotaxis involves transfer of a phosphoryl group between the cytoplasmic proteins CheA and CheY. In addition to the established metal ion requirement for autophosphorylation of CheA, divalent magnesium ions are necessary for the transfer of phosphate from CheA to CheY. The work described here demonstrates via fluorescence studies that CheY contains a magnesium ion binding site. This site is a strong candidate for the metal ion site required to facilitate phosphotransfer from phospho-CheA to CheY. The diminished magnesium ion interaction with CheY mutant D13N and the lack of metal ion binding to D57N along with significant reduction in phosphotransfer to these two mutants are in direct contrast to the behavior of wild-type CheY. This supports the hypothesis that the acidic pocket formed by Asp13 and Asp57 is essential to metal binding and phosphotransfer activity. Metal ion is also required for the dephosphorylation reaction, raising the possibility that the phosphotransfer and hydrolysis reactions occur by a common metal-phosphoprotein transition-state intermediate. The highly conserved nature of the proposed metal ion binding site and site of phosphorylation within the large family of phosphorylated regulatory proteins that are homologous to CheY supports the hypothesis that all these proteins function by a similar catalytic mechanism.

Abstract
Cells display a remarkable ability to respond to small fluctuations in their surroundings. In simple microbial systems, information from sensory receptors feeds into a circuitry of regulatory proteins that transfer high energy phosphoryl groups from histidine to aspartate side chains. This phosphotransfer network couples environmental signals to an array of response elements that control cell motility and regulate gene expression.

Abstract
Hydrolysis of acetyl phosphate is inhibited by high concentrations of Pi and MgCl2, probably due to an increase in the steady-state level of phosphoenzyme formed from Pi in the medium. A dual effect of ADP during steady-state hydrolysis of acetyl phosphate was observed. ADP inhibited hydrolysis in the presence of 5 mM MgCl2 and no added Pi, whereas it stimulated hydrolysis when phosphoenzyme formation by Pi was favored by including 6 mM Pi and 20 mM MgCl2 in the assay medium. ATP inhibited acetyl phosphate hydrolysis in both of these assay media. When phosphoenzyme formation by Pi in the presence of acetyl phosphate was stimulated at Ca2+ concentrations sufficient to saturate the low-affinity Ca2+-binding sites, ADP stimulated acetyl phosphate hydrolysis and also promoted ATP synthesis by reversal of the catalytic cycle. The rate of ATP synthesis was dependent on ADP, Pi and Ca2+. Phosphoenzyme formation by Pi and MgCl2, whether in the absence of Ca2+ and acetyl phosphate, or during acetyl phosphate hydrolysis, was inhibited by ADP and ATP. These results suggest that ADP interacts with different intermediates of the catalytic cycle and that expression of inhibition or activation of acetyl phosphate hydrolysis depends on the steady-state level of phosphoenzyme formed by Pi.

Abstract
Bacteria continuously adapt to changes in their environment. Responses are largely controlled by signal transduction systems that contain two central enzymatic components, a protein kinase that uses adenosine triphosphate to phosphorylate itself at a histidine residue and a response regulator that accepts phosphoryl groups from the kinase. This conserved phosphotransfer chemistry is found in a wide range of bacterial species and operates in diverse systems to provide different regulatory outputs. The histidine kinases are frequently membrane receptor proteins that respond to environmental signals and phosphorylate response regulators that control transcription. Four specific regulatory systems are discussed in detail: chemotaxis in response to attractant and repellent stimuli (Che), regulation of gene expression in response to nitrogen deprivation (Ntr), control of the expression of enzymes and transport systems that assimilate phosphorus (Pho), and regulation of outer membrane porin expression in response to osmolarity and other culture conditions (Omp). Several additional systems are also examined, including systems that control complex developmental processes such as sporulation and fruiting-body formation, systems required for virulent infections of plant or animal host tissues, and systems that regulate transport and metabolism. Finally, an attempt is made to understand how cross-talk between parallel phosphotransfer pathways can provide a global regulatory curcuitry.
