ABSTRACTThe gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase is the main enzyme that underpins osmoregulatory ability in crustaceans that occupy biotopes like mangroves, characterized by salinity variation. We evaluated osmotic and ionic regulatory ability in the semi-terrestrial mangrove crab Ucides cordatus after 10-days acclimation to different salinities. We also analyzed modulation by exogenous FXYD2 peptide and by endogenous protein kinases A and C, and Ca2+- calmodulin-dependent kinase of (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity. Hemolymph osmolality was strongly hyper-/hypo-regulated in crabs acclimated at 2 to 35 ‰S. Cl- was well hyper-/hypo- regulated although Na+ much less so, becoming iso-natremic at high salinity. (Na+, K+)- ATPase activity was greatest in isosmotic crabs (26 ‰S), diminishing progressively from 18 and 8 ‰S (≈0.5 fold) to 2 ‰S (0.04-fold), and decreasing notably at 35 ‰S (0.07-fold). At low salinity, the (Na+, K+)-ATPase exhibited a low affinity ATP-binding site that showed Michaelis-Menten behavior. Above 18 ‰S, an additional, high affinity ATP-binding site, corresponding to 10-20% of total (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity appeared. Activity is stimulated by exogenous pig kidney FXYD2 peptide, while endogenous protein kinases A and C and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase all inhibit activity. This is the first demonstration of inhibitory phosphorylation of a crustacean (Na+, K+)-ATPase by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase. Curiously, hyper-osmoregulation in U. cordatus shows little dependence on gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity, suggesting a role for other ion transporters. These findings reveal that the salinity acclimation response in U. cordatus consists of a suite of osmoregulatory and enzymatic adjustments that maintain its osmotic homeostasis in a challenging, mangrove forest environment.Graphical abstractHighlightsGill (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity is greatest in isosmotic crabs, diminishing in lower and higher salinities.A high affinity ATP-binding site (10-20% of total activity) is exposed above 18 ‰S.Exogenous FXYD2 peptide stimulates activity; endogenous PKA, PKC and CaMK inhibit activity.First demonstration of inhibitory phosphorylation of crustacean (Na+, K+)-ATPase by CaMK.Hyper-osmoregulation shows little dependence on (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity.

We describe in the present paper mutations of the catalytic subunit α of PKA (protein kinase A) that introduce amino acid side chains into the ATP-binding site and progressively transform the pocket to mimic that of Aurora protein kinases. The resultant PKA variants are enzymatically active and exhibit high affinity for ATP site inhibitors that are specific for Aurora kinases. These features make the Aurora-chimaeric PKA a valuable tool for structure-based drug discovery tasks. Analysis of crystal structures of the chimaera reveal the roles for individual amino acid residues in the binding of a variety of inhibitors, offering key insights into selectivity mechanisms. Furthermore, the high affinity for Aurora kinase-specific inhibitors, combined with the favourable crystallizability properties of PKA, allow rapid determination of inhibitor complex structures at an atomic resolution. We demonstrate the utility of the Aurora-chimaeric PKA by measuring binding kinetics for three Aurora kinase-specific inhibitors, and present the X-ray structures of the chimaeric enzyme in complex with VX-680 (MK-0457) and JNJ-7706621 [Aurora kinase/CDK (cyclin-dependent kinase) inhibitor].
