Abstract
PTEN, a 3-phosphatase of phosphoinositide, regulates asymmetric PI(3,4,5)P3 signaling for the anterior-posterior polarization and migration of motile cells. PTEN acts through posterior localization on the plasma membrane, but the mechanism for this accumulation is poorly understood. Here we developed an in vitro single-molecule imaging assay with various lipid compositions and use it to demonstrate that the enzymatic product, PI(4,5)P2, stabilizes PTEN's membrane-binding. The dissociation kinetics and lateral mobility of PTEN depended on the PI(4,5)P2 density on artificial lipid bilayers. The basic residues of PTEN were responsible for electrostatic interactions with anionic PI(4,5)P2 and thus the PI(4,5)P2-dependent stabilization. Single-molecule imaging in living Dictyostelium cells revealed that these interactions were indispensable for the stabilization in vivo, which enabled efficient cell migration by accumulating PTEN posteriorly to restrict PI(3,4,5)P3 distribution to the anterior. These results suggest that PI(4,5)P2-mediated positive feedback and PTEN-induced PI(4,5)P2 clustering may be important for anterior-posterior polarization.

Abstract
The artificial bilayer single-channel recording technique is commonly used to observe detailed pharmacological properties of various ion channel proteins. It permits easy control of the solution and membrane lipid composition, and is also compatible with pharmacological screening devices. However, its use is limited due to low measurement efficiency. Here, we develop a novel artificial bilayer single-channel recording technique in which bilayers are made and channels are reconstituted into the membranes by contacting a gold electrode to the lipid-solution interface. Using this technique, we measured the single-channel currents of two channel-forming peptides, gramicidin and alamethicin, and a channel-forming protein, α-hemolysin. This technique requires only one action, allowing the technique to potentially be combined with high-throughput screening devices.

Abstract
The artificial bilayer single channel recording technique is commonly used to observe the detailed physiological properties of various ion channel proteins. It permits easy control of the solution and membrane lipid composition, and is also compatible with pharmacological screening devices. However, its use is limited due to low measurement efficiency. Here, we developed a novel artificial bilayer single channel recording technique in which solubilized ion channel proteins immobilized on a gold nano-electrode are directly incorporated into a lipid bilayer at the same time as the bilayer is formed at the tip of it on coming in contact with an aqueous-oil interface. Using this technique, we measured the single channel currents of several types of channels including KcsA, MthK, hBK and P2X4. This technique requires only one action to simultaneously form the bilayers and reconstitute the channels into the membranes. This simplicity greatly increases the measurement efficiency and allows the technique to potentially be combined with high-throughput screening devices.

Abstract
The KcsA channel is a proton-activated potassium channel. We have previously shown that the cytoplasmic domain (CPD) acts as a pH-sensor, and the charged states of certain negatively charged amino acids in the CPD play an important role in regulating the pH-dependent gating. Here, we demonstrate the KcsA channel is constitutively open independent of pH upon mutating E146 to a neutrally charged amino acid. In addition, we found that rearrangement of the CPD following this mutation was not large. Our results indicate that minimal rearrangement of the CPD, particularly around E146, is sufficient for opening of the KcsA channel.

Abstract
F1-ATPase is the water-soluble part of ATP synthase and is an ATP-driven rotary molecular motor that rotates the rotary shaft against the surrounding stator ring, hydrolyzing ATP. Although the mechanochemical coupling mechanism of F1-ATPase has been well studied, the molecular details of individual reaction steps remain unclear. In this study, we conducted a single-molecule rotation assay of F1 from thermophilic bacteria under various pressures from 0.1 to 140 MPa. Even at 140 MPa, F1 actively rotated with regular 120° steps in a counterclockwise direction, showing high conformational stability and retention of native properties. Rotational torque was also not affected. However, high hydrostatic pressure induced a distinct intervening pause at the ATP-binding angles during continuous rotation. The pause was observed under both ATP-limiting and ATP-saturating conditions, suggesting that F1 has two pressure-sensitive reactions, one of which is evidently ATP binding. The rotation assay using a mutant F1(βE190D) suggested that the other pressure-sensitive reaction occurs at the same angle at which ATP binding occurs. The activation volumes were determined from the pressure dependence of the rate constants to be +100 Å(3) and +88 Å(3) for ATP binding and the other pressure-sensitive reaction, respectively. These results are discussed in relation to recent single-molecule studies of F1 and pressure-induced protein unfolding.

Abstract
V(1)-ATPase is a rotary motor protein that rotates the central shaft in a counterclockwise direction hydrolyzing ATP. Although the ATP-binding process is suggested to be the most critical reaction step for torque generation in F(1)-ATPase (the closest relative of V(1)-ATPase evolutionarily), the role of ATP binding for V(1)-ATPase in torque generation has remained unclear. In the present study, we performed single-molecule manipulation experiments on V(1)-ATPase from Thermus thermophilus to investigate how the ATP-binding process is modulated upon rotation of the rotary shaft. When V(1)-ATPase showed an ATP-waiting pause, it was stalled at a target angle and then released. Based on the response of the V(1)-ATPase released, the ATP-binding probability was determined at individual stall angles. It was observed that the rate constant of ATP binding (k(on)) was exponentially accelerated with forward rotation, whereas the rate constant of ATP release (k(off)) was exponentially reduced. The angle dependence of the k(off) of V(1)-ATPase was significantly smaller than that of F(1)-ATPase, suggesting that the ATP-binding process is not the major torque-generating step in V(1)-ATPase. When V(1)-ATPase was stalled at the mean binding angle to restrict rotary Brownian motion, k(on) was evidently slower than that determined from free rotation, showing the reaction rate enhancement by conformational fluctuation. It was also suggested that shaft of V(1)-ATPase should be rotated at least 277° in a clockwise direction for efficient release of ATP under ATP-synthesis conditions.

Abstract
V(1)-ATPase, the hydrophilic V-ATPase domain, is a rotary motor fueled by ATP hydrolysis. Here, we found that Thermus thermophilus V(1)-ATPase shows two types of inhibitory pauses interrupting continuous rotation: a short pause (SP, 4.2 s) that occurred frequently during rotation, and a long inhibitory pause (LP, >30 min) that terminated all active rotations. Both pauses occurred at the same angle for ATP binding and hydrolysis. Kinetic analysis revealed that the time constants of inactivation into and activation from the SP were too short to represent biochemically predicted ADP inhibition, suggesting that SP is a newly identified inhibitory state of V(1)-ATPase. The time constant of inactivation into LP was 17 min, consistent with one of the two time constants governing the inactivation process observed in bulk ATPase assay. When forcibly rotated in the forward direction, V(1) in LP resumed active rotation. Solution ADP suppressed the probability of mechanical activation, suggesting that mechanical rotation enhanced inhibitory ADP release. These features were highly consistent with mechanical activation of ADP-inhibited F(1), suggesting that LP represents the ADP-inhibited state of V(1)-ATPase. Mechanical activation largely depended on the direction and angular displacement of forced rotation, implying that V(1)-ATPase rotation modulates the off rate of ADP.

Abstract
F(1)-ATPase (F(1)) is an ATP-driven rotary motor wherein the γ subunit rotates against the surrounding α(3)β(3) stator ring. The 3 catalytic sites of F(1) reside on the interface of the α and β subunits of the α(3)β(3) ring. While the catalytic residues predominantly reside on the β subunit, the α subunit has 1 catalytically critical arginine, termed the arginine finger, with stereogeometric similarities with the arginine finger of G-protein-activating proteins. However, the principal role of the arginine finger of F(1) remains controversial. We studied the role of the arginine finger by analyzing the rotation of a mutant F(1) with a lysine substitution of the arginine finger. The mutant showed a 350-fold longer catalytic pause than the wild-type; this pause was further lengthened by the slowly hydrolyzed ATP analog ATPγS. On the other hand, the mutant F(1) showed highly unidirectional rotation with a coupling ratio of 3 ATPs/turn, the same as wild-type, suggesting that cooperative torque generation by the 3 β subunits was not impaired. The hybrid F(1) carrying a single copy of the α mutant revealed that the reaction step slowed by the mutation occurs at +200° from the binding angle of the mutant subunit. Thus, the principal role of the arginine finger is not to mediate cooperativity among the catalytic sites, but to enhance the rate of the ATP cleavage by stabilizing the transition state of ATP hydrolysis. Lysine substitution also caused frequent pauses because of severe ADP inhibition, and a slight decrease in ATP-binding rate.

Abstract
The conformational fluctuation of enzymes has a crucial role in reaction acceleration. However, the contribution to catalysis enhancement of individual substates with conformations far from the average conformation remains unclear. We studied the catalytic power of the rotary molecular motor F(1)-ATPase from thermophilic Bacillus PS3 as it was stalled in transient conformations far from a stable pausing angle. The rate constants of ATP binding and hydrolysis were determined as functions of the rotary angle. Both rates exponentially increase with rotation, revealing the molecular basis of positive cooperativity among three catalytic sites: elementary reaction steps are accelerated via the mechanical rotation driven by other reactions on neighboring catalytic sites. The rate enhancement induced by ATP binding upon rotation was greater than that brought about by hydrolysis, suggesting that the ATP binding step contributes more to torque generation than does the hydrolysis step. Additionally, 9% of the ATP-driven rotary step was supported by thermal diffusion, suggesting that acceleration of the ATP docking process occurs via thermally agitated conformational fluctuations.

Abstract
F(o)F(1)-ATP synthase is one of the most ubiquitous enzymes; it is found widely in the biological world, including the plasma membrane of bacteria, inner membrane of mitochondria and thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts. However, this enzyme has a unique mechanism of action: it is composed of two mechanical rotary motors, each driven by ATP hydrolysis or proton flux down the membrane potential of protons. The two molecular motors interconvert the chemical energy of ATP hydrolysis and proton electrochemical potential via the mechanical rotation of the rotary shaft. This unique energy transmission mechanism is not found in other biological systems. Although there are other similar man-made systems like hydroelectric generators, F(o)F(1)-ATP synthase operates on the nanometre scale and works with extremely high efficiency. Therefore, this enzyme has attracted significant attention in a wide variety of fields from bioenergetics and biophysics to chemistry, physics and nanoscience. This review summarizes the latest findings about the two motors of F(o)F(1)-ATP synthase as well as a brief historical background.

Abstract
F(1)-ATPase is a molecular motor in which the γ subunit rotates inside the α(3)β(3) ring upon adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis. Recent works on single-molecule manipulation of F(1)-ATPase have shown that kinetic parameters such as the on-rate of ATP and the off-rate of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) strongly depend on the rotary angle of the γ subunit (Hirono-Hara et al. 2005; Iko et al. 2009). These findings provide important insight into how individual reaction steps release energy to power F(1) and also have implications regarding ATP synthesis and how reaction steps are reversed upon reverse rotation. An important issue regarding the angular dependence of kinetic parameters is that the angular position of a magnetic bead rotation probe could be larger than the actual position of the γ subunit due to the torsional elasticity of the system. In the present study, we assessed the stiffness of two different portions of F(1) from thermophilic Bacillus PS3: the internal part of the γ subunit embedded in the α(3)β(3) ring, and the complex of the external part of the γ subunit and the α(3)β(3) ring (and streptavidin and magnetic bead), by comparing rotational fluctuations before and after crosslinkage between the rotor and stator. The torsional stiffnesses of the internal and remaining parts were determined to be around 223 and 73 pNnm/radian, respectively. Based on these values, it was estimated that the actual angular position of the internal part of the γ subunit is one-fourth of the magnetic bead position upon stalling using an external magnetic field. The estimated elasticity also partially explains the accommodation of the intrinsic step size mismatch between F(o) and F(1)-ATPase.

Abstract
Amyloid deposition accompanies over 20 degenerative diseases in human, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and prion diseases. Recent studies revealed the importance of other type of protein aggregates, e.g., non-specific aggregates, protofibrils, and small oligomers in the development of such diseases and proved their increased toxicity for living cells in comparison with mature amyloid fibrils. We carried out a comparative structural analysis of different monomeric and aggregated states of beta(2)-microglobulin, a protein responsible for hemodialysis-related amyloidosis. We investigated the structure of the native and acid-denatured states, as well as that of mature fibrils, immature fibrils, amorphous aggregates, and heat-induced filaments, prepared under various in vitro conditions. Infrared spectroscopy demonstrated that the beta-sheet compositions of immature fibrils, heat-induced filaments and amorphous aggregates are characteristic of antiparallel intermolecular beta-sheet structure while mature fibrils are different from all others suggesting a unique overall structure and assembly. Filamentous aggregates prepared by heat treatment are of importance in understanding the in vivo disease because of their stability under physiological conditions, where amyloid fibrils and protofibrils formed at acidic pH depolymerize. Atomic force microscopy of heat-induced filaments represented a morphology similar to that of the low pH immature fibrils. At a pH close to the pI of the protein, amorphous aggregates were formed readily with association of the molecules in native-like conformation, followed by formation of intermolecular beta-sheet structure in a longer time-scale. Extent of the core buried from the solvent in the various states was investigated by H/D exchange of the amide protons.

Abstract
Spin states of the iron(III) complexes of porphyrin, porphycene, hemiporphycene, and corrphycene bearing both 1-methylimidazole and azide as axial ligands were analyzed with infrared (IR) spectroscopy at 20 degrees C. The IR stretching band of coordinating azide split into two peaks around 2047 and 2017 cm(-1) reflecting an equilibrium between the high- (S = 5/2) and low- (S = 1/2) spin states. The high-spin fraction changed over a 0-90% range among the macrocycles, demonstrating that the tetrapyrrole array is essential to control the equilibrium.

Abstract
FTIR spectral changes of bovine cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) upon ligand dissociation from heme a(3)() and redox change of the Cu(A)-heme a moiety (Cu(A)Fe(a)()) were investigated. In a photosteady state under CW laser illumination at 590 nm to carbonmonoxy CcO (CcO-CO), the C-O stretching bands due to Fe(a3)()(2+)CO and Cu(B)(1+)CO were identified at 1963 and 2063 cm(-)(1), respectively, for the fully reduced (FR) state [(Cu(A)Fe(a)())(3+)Fe(a3)()(2+)Cu(B)(1+)] and at 1965 and 2061 cm(-)(1) for the mixed valence (MV) state [(Cu(A)Fe(a)())(5+)Fe(a3)()(2+)Cu(B)(1+)] in H(2)O as well as in D(2)O. For the MV state, however, another band due to Cu(B)(1+)CO was found at 2040 cm(-)(1), which was distinct from the alpha/beta conformers in the spectral behaviors, and therefore was assigned to the (Cu(A)Fe(a)())(4+)Fe(a3)()(3+)Cu(B)(1+)CO generated by back electron transfer. The FR-minus-oxidized difference spectrum in the carboxyl stretching region provided two negative bands at 1749 and 1737 cm(-)(1) in H(2)O, which were apparently merged into a single band with a band center at 1741 cm(-)(1) in D(2)O. Comparison of these spectra with those of bacterial enzymes suggests that the 1749 and 1737 cm(-)(1) bands are due to COOH groups of Glu242 and Asp51, respectively. A similar difference spectrum of the carboxyl stretching region was also obtained between (Cu(A)Fe(a)())(3+)Fe(a3)()(2+)Cu(B)(1+)CO and (Cu(A)Fe(a)())(5+)Fe(a3)()(2+)Cu(B)(1+)CO. The results indicate that an oxidation state of the (Cu(A)Fe(a)()) moiety determines the carboxyl stretching spectra. On the other hand, CO-dissociated minus CO-bound difference spectra in the FR state gave rise to a positive and a negative peaks at 1749 and 1741 cm(-)(1), respectively, in H(2)O, but mainly a negative peak at 1735 cm(-)(1) in D(2)O. It was confirmed that the absence of a positive peak is not caused by slow deuteration of protein. The corresponding difference spectrum in the MV state showed a significantly weaker positive peak at 1749 cm(-)(1) and an intense negative peak at 1741 cm(-)(1) (1737 cm(-)(1) in D(2)O). The spectral difference between the FR and MV states is explained satisfactorily by the spectral change induced by the electron back flow upon CO dissociation as described above. Thus, the changes of carboxyl stretching bands induced both by oxidation of (Cu(A)Fe(a)()) and dissociation of CO appear at similar frequencies ( approximately 1749 cm(-)(1)) but are ascribed to different carboxyl side chains.

Abstract
We report the first systematic study of the electrical transport and magnetic properties of BaRu6O12, which has a quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) hollandite structure. We show that BaRu6O12 is quasi-1D electronically as well. Its physical properties were found to be extremely sensitive to disorder. Furthermore, a transition from being metallic with a resistance drop around 2 K to being weakly insulating as the applied magnetic field was increased was also found. We propose that these two features are related to the possible presence of a quantum phase transition in this material system.

Abstract
The iron complex of hemiporphycene, a molecular hybrid of porphyrin with porphycene, was incorporated into the apomyoglobin pocket to examine ligand binding ability of the iron atom in the novel porphyrinoid. Apomyoglobin was successfully coupled with a stoichiometric amount of ferric hemiporphycene to afford the reconstituted myoglobin equipped with the iron coordination structure of native protein. Cyanide, imidazole, and fluoride coordinated to the ferric protein with affinities comparable with those for native myoglobin. The ferrous myoglobin was functionally active to bind O(2) and CO reversibly at pH 7.4 and 20 degrees C. The O(2) affinity is 12-fold higher than that of native myoglobin while the CO affinity is slightly lower, suggesting decreased discrimination between O(2) and CO in the heme pocket. The functional anomaly was interpreted to reflect increased sigma-bonding character in the Fe(II)-O(2) bond. In contrast with 6-coordinate native NO protein, the NO myoglobin containing ferrous hemiporphycene is in a mixed 5- and 6-coordinate state. This observation suggests that the in-plane configuration of the iron atom in hemiporphycene is destabilized by NO. Influence of the core deformation was also detected with both the infrared absorption for the ferrous CO derivative and electron paramagnetic resonance for ferric imidazole complex. Anomalies in the ferric and ferrous derivatives were ascribed to the modified iron-N(pyrrole) interactions in the asymmetric metallo core of hemiporphycene.

Abstract
The capacitive photoelectric current responses of the halorhodopsins from Halobacterium salinarum (shR) and from Natronobacterium pharaonis (phR) were studied using membrane fragments adsorbed onto a thin polyester film. The electric current of shR was not much affected by ionic strength or cations present in the medium (Na+, K+, Li+, Mg2+, or Ca2+), but was greatly influenced by the Cl- concentration. It increased biphasically as the Cl- concentration increased from 0 to 5 M, then decreased and almost vanished at around 10 or 12 M. Apparent Kd's of about 0.1 and 6 M were deduced for the Kd of Cl- uptake sites. We had to assume a sigmoidal increase of Cl- binding with a Hill coefficient of about 8 at the cytoplasmic, Cl- release site(s). The half-maximum Cl- concentration for the sigmoidal binding was about 7.5 M. The electric current of phR had a maximum around 30 mM Cl- and biphasically decreased at higher Cl- concentrations. The apparent Kd for the Cl- uptake site was 5 mM. The biphasic decrease in the transport activity was explained by assuming a sum of simple hyperbolic type binding (Kd = 0.2 M) and sigmoidally increasing binding with a Hill coefficient of 10 on the cytoplasmic side. The half-maximum concentration of the latter cooperative binding was 5.6 M. This great difference between the apparent affinity of the release site of shR and that of phR can explain the previously reported difference between the Cl- dependency of their photocycles. These results also suggest that there may be multiple Cl- binding sites in the Cl- transport pathway. A simple sequence of Cl- transport steps based on a multiion channel model is proposed.

Abstract
We constructed a time-resolved photovoltage measurement system and examined the photovoltage kinetics of wild-type bacteriorhodopsin, its D96N mutant, and halorhodopsins from Halobacterium salinarum and Natronobacterium pharaonis. Upon illumination with a laser flash, wild-type bacteriorhodopsin showed photovoltage generation with fast (10-100 micros range) and slow (ms range) components while D96N lacked the latter, as reported previously [Holz, M., Drachev, L.A., Mogi, T., Otto, H., Kaulen, A.D., Heyn, M.P., Skulachev, V.P., and Khorana, H.G. (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86, 2167-2171]. In contrast, photovoltage generation in halorhodopsins from H. salinarum and N. pharaonis was significant only in the ms time range. On the basis of the photovoltage kinetics and photocycle, we conclude that major charge (chloride) movements within halorhodopsin occur during the formation and decay of the N intermediate in the ms range. These observations are discussed in terms of the "Energization-Relaxation Channel Model" [Muneyuki, E., Ikematsu, M., and Yoshida, M. (1996) J. Phys. Chem. 100, 19687-19691].

Abstract
We developed a new assay system for the measurement of capacitive electric currents generated by ion pumps using the thin polymer film 'Lumirror' (Toray Co., Japan). This system enables us to examine the electrogenicity of ion pumps over a wide range of experimental conditions with high reproducibility due to the mechanical and chemical stability, the high electric resistance and the high electric capacitance of the thin polymer film. Using this method, we examined the photoelectric response of wild type bacteriorhodopsin and its D96N mutant over a wide pH range (2.8-10.0). The results were explained in terms of the affinities of the proton binding sites for translocated protons. A possibility that the direction of the proton transfer from the Schiff base was influenced by the protonation/deprotonation state of the surrounding proton binding sites was suggested. We also found that this film can be used as a substrate for atomic force microscopy (AFM) samples and hence the active purple membrane was observed with AFM.
