The interaction was studied of
ceruloplasmin
(Cp,
EC 1.16.3.1
), a copper-containing plasma protein, with two synthetic peptides
P15
and P16 whose structures correlate with those of the noncytosolic regions of the copper transfer P1 type ATPase (ATP7A), apparently encoded by the Menkes disease gene (Atp7a). Pentadecapeptide
P15
and hexadecapeptide P16 were synthesized using the solid phase method. They correspond to fragments of two extracellular loops ATP7A, of which one loop is apparently involved in the copper ion transfer (P16) whereas the other is not (
P15
). The protein footprinting showed that P16 binds to a fragment of the
ceruloplasmin
domain 6. Kinetics of the
ceruloplasmin
-P16 binding was studied by affinity chromatography on P16 immobilized on a macroporous disk, and the Kd value (1.5 x 10(-6) M) of this interaction was determined. The ATP7A involvement in the copper ion transfer to nonhepatocyte cells is discussed.
