Abstract The effects of ATP-analogues on Ca2+-ATPase and (Na+ + K+)-ATPase have been studied. The participation of sulfhydryl groups in the recognition of ATP by both transport ATPases is indicat ed by the fact, that the disulfide of thioinosine triphosphate inactivates both enzymes. The reactivity of rapidly and slowly reacting sulfhydryl groups in the ATP binding sites of both enzymes is altered by the presence of transport substrates. At least in (Na+ + K+)-ATPase Na+ and Mg2+ appear to alter the structure of the ATP binding site, which conclusion is fortified by the fact, that the photoinactivation of the enzyme by 3′-O-[3-(2-nitro-4-azidophenyl)-propionyl]-ATP need Mg2+. Chromium(III)ATP, a MgATP analogue, inactivated both transport ATPases by the formation of a stable chromo-phosphointermediate. In the case of Ca2+-ATPase this was concomited by the occlusion of Ca2+ in a stable form. No occlusion of Na+ was observable so far in the (Na++ K+)-ATPase. Contrary to the expectation of the Albers-Post-scheme the hydrolysis of the phosphointermediate formed from chromium(III)ATP was protected by K+, but activated by high concentrations of Na+. Consequently, despite of the inhibition of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity chromium(III)-ATP supported the Na+ - Na+ -exchange reaction in everted red bood cells.

Extracellular [γ-32P]ATP added to a suspension of goldfish hepatocytes can be hydrolyzed to ADP plus γ-32Pidue to the presence of an ecto-ATPase located in the plasma membrane. Ecto-ATPase activity was a hyperbolic function of ATP concentration ([ATP]), with apparent maximal activity of 8.3 ± 0.4 nmol Pi ⋅ (106cells)−1 ⋅ min−1and substrate concentration at which a half-maximal hydrolysis rate is obtained of 667 ± 123 μM. Ecto-ATPase activity was inhibited 70% by suramin but was insensitive to inhibitors of transport ATPases. Addition of 5 μM [α-32P]ATP to the hepatocyte suspension induced the extracellular release of α-32Pi[8.2 pmol ⋅ (106cells)−1 ⋅ min−1] and adenosine, suggesting the presence of other ectonucleotidase(s). Exposure of cell suspensions to 5 μM [2,8-3H]ATP resulted in uptake of [2,8-3H]adenosine at 7.9 pmol ⋅ (106cells)−1 ⋅ min−1. Addition of low micromolar [ATP] strongly increased cytosolic free Ca2+([Formula: see text]). This effect could be partially mimicked by adenosine 5′- O-(3-thiotriphosphate), a nonhydrolyzable analog of ATP. The blockage of both glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation led to a sixfold increase of[Formula: see text] and an 80% decrease of intracellular ATP, but ecto-ATPase activity was insensitive to these metabolic changes. Ecto-ATPase activity represents the first step leading to the complete hydrolysis of extracellular ATP, which allows 1) termination of the action of ATP on specific purinoceptors and 2) the resulting adenosine to be taken up by the cells.

ABSTRACT This study shows that the Vibrio cholerae RTX toxin is secreted by a four-component type I secretion system (TISS) encoded by rtxB, rtxD, rtxE, and tolC. ATP-binding site mutations in both RtxB and RtxE blocked secretion, demonstrating that this atypical TISS requires two transport ATPases that may function as a heterodimer.

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.

ABSTRACT Most ATPases, involved in energy-driven processes, act in the cytoplasm. However, external membrane-bound ATPases have also been described in parasites and eukaryotic cells. In Mycoplasma hominis, a bacterium lacking a cell wall, the surface-exposed substrate-binding protein OppA of an oligopeptide permease (Opp) contains an ATP binding P-loop structure in the C-terminal region. With ATP affinity chromatography and tryptic digestion in the presence or absence of ATP, the functionality of the Mg2+-dependent ATP binding site is demonstrated. In addition to ATP, ADP also could bind to OppA. The presence of an ATPase activity on the surface of M. hominis is indicated by the inactivation of ATP hydrolyzing activity of intact mycoplasma cells by the impermeable ATPase inhibitor 4′,4′-diisothiocyanostilbene-2′,2′-disulfonic acid and influenced by the ATP analog 5′-fluorosulfonyl-benzoyladenosine. Comparing equimolar amounts of OppA in intact mycoplasma cells and in the purified form indicated that more than 80% of the surface-localized ATPase activity is derived from OppA, implying that OppA is the main ATPase on the surface of mycoplasma cells. Together, these data present the first evidence that the cytoadhesive substrate binding protein OppA of the oligopeptide permease also functions as an ecto-ATPase in Mycoplasma hominis.

Changes in the fluoresence of N-acetyl-N′-(5-sulfo-1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine (EDANS), being attached to Cys-674 of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase without affecting the catalytic activity, as well as changes in the intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence were followed throughout the catalytic cycle by the steady-state measurements and the stopped-flow spectrofluorometry. EDANS-fluorescence changes reflect conformational changes near the ATP binding site in the cytoplasmic domain, while tryptophan-fluorescence changes most probably reflect conformational changes in or near the transmembrane domain in which the Ca2+ binding sites are located. Formation of the phosphoenzyme intermediates (EP) was also followed by the continuous flow-rapid quenching method. The kinetic analysis of EDANS-fluorescence changes and EP formation revealed that, when ATP is added to the calcium-activated enzyme, conformational changes in the ATP binding site occur in three successive reaction steps; conformational change in the calcium enzyme substrate complex, formation of ADP-sensitive EP, and transition of ADP-sensitive EP to ADP-insensitive EP. In contrast, the ATP-induced tryptophan-fluorescence changes occur only in the latter two steps. Thus, we conclude that conformational changes in the ATP binding site in the cytoplasmic domain are transmitted to the Ca2+-binding sites in the transmembrane domain in these latter two steps.

Using in silico docking approaches, we scan the various subunits of Complex V (FoF1ATPase) for putative adenosine nucleotide binding sites. We find that multiple generic ADP/ATP binding sites are present on the alpha-beta binding sites and a conserved ATP binding site is present on the epsilon subunit. These findings support the murburn model of Complex V.
