Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent for treatment of ovarian, testicular, lung, and stomach cancers. The initial response to the drug is robust; however, tumor cells commonly develop resistance to cisplatin, which complicates treatment. Recently, overexpression of the Cu-ATPase ATP7B in ovary cells was linked to the increased cellular resistance to cisplatin; and the role for Cu-ATPases in the export of cisplatin from cells was proposed. Our results support functional interactions between cisplatin and ATP7B but argue against the active transport through the copper translocation pathway as a mechanism of drug resistance. In hepatocytes, we observed no correlation between the levels of endogenous ATP7B and the resistance of cells to cisplatin. Unlike copper, cisplatin does not induce trafficking of ATP7B in hepatoma cells, neither does it compete with copper in a transport assay. However, cisplatin binds to ATP7B and stimulates catalytic phosphorylation with EC(50) similar to that of copper. Mutations of the first five N-terminal copper-binding sites of ATP7B do not inhibit the cisplatin-induced phosphorylation of ATP7B. In contrast, the deletion of the first four copper-binding sites abolishes the effect of cisplatin on the ATP7B activity. Thus, cisplatin binding to ATP7B and/or general changes in cellular copper homeostasis are likely contributors to the increased resistance to the drug. The link between changes in copper homeostasis and cisplatin resistance was confirmed by treating the Huh7 cells with copper chelator and increasing their resistance to cisplatin.cisplatin.

Wilson disease ATPase (ATP7B) has been implicated in the resistance of cancer cells to cisplatin. Using a simple in vivo assay in bacterial culture, in the present study we demonstrate that ATP7B can confer resistance to cisplatin by sequestering the drug in its N-terminal metal-binding domain without active drug extrusion from the cell. Expression of a protein fragment containing four N-terminal MBRs (metal-binding repeats) of ATP7B (MBR1-4) protects cells from the toxic effects of cisplatin. One MBR1-4 molecule binds up to three cisplatin molecules at the copper-binding sites in the MBRs. The findings of the present study suggest that suppressing enzymatic activity of ATP7B may not be an effective way of combating cisplatin resistance. Rather, the efforts should be directed at preventing cisplatin binding to the protein.

ATP7B is a human P(1B)-type ATPase that has a crucial role in maintaining copper(I) homeostasis. Mutations in the corresponding gene are the cause of Wilson disease. Among its various distinguishing features is a long ( approximately 630 amino acids) N-terminal cytosolic tail containing six domains that are individually folded and capable of binding one copper(I) ion each. We expressed the entire tail as a single construct in Escherichia coli and investigated its interaction with its copper chaperone (i.e. HAH1) by solution NMR spectroscopy. We observed that all six of the metal-binding domains were metallated by Cu(I)-HAH1, with the first, the second, and the fourth domains forming an adduct with it. This behavior is different from that of the highly similar human ATPase ATP7A, in which only two domains form such an adduct. The distinct behaviors of the different domains were analyzed in terms of the energetics of Cu(I) transfer, hinting at a specific role of the interaction with copper(I)-HAH1 in the overall functional process.

Wilson's disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the functional disruption of the copper-transporting protein adenosine triphosphatase 7B (ATP-ase 7B). The disease is caused by mutations in ATP7B gene. It seems that the type of mutation in ATP7B only to some degree determines phenotypic manifestation of WD. We examined two pairs of monozygotic twins discordant for WD phenotype. The first set of twins were ATP7B compound heterozygotes c.3207C>A (p.H1069Q)/c.1211_1212insA (p.N404Kfs). The index case developed severe liver failure followed by depressive symptoms, dysarthria, and tremor at the age of 36. Her sister remained presymptomatic at diagnosis at the age of 39. The second twins were ATP7B c.3207C.A (p.H1069Q) homozygotes. The index case presented with dysarthria and tremor at the age of 26. Her sister remained clinically presymptomatic at diagnosis at the age of 28. We concluded that the phenotypic characteristics of WD are possibly attributable to epigenetic/environmental factors.

Copper transport ATPases sustain important roles in homeostasis of heavy metals and delivery of copper to metalloenzymes. The copper transport ATPase from Thermotoga maritima (CopA) provides a useful system for mechanistic studies, due to its heterologous expression and stability. Its sequence comprises 726 amino acids, including the N-terminal metal binding domain (NMBD), three catalytic domains (A, N, and P), and a copper transport domain formed by eight helices, including the transmembrane metal binding site (TMBS). We performed functional characterization and conformational analysis by proteolytic digestion of WT and mutated (NMBD deletion or mutation) T. maritima CopA, comparing it with Archaeoglobus fulgidus CopA and Ca(2+) ATPase. A specific feature of T. maritima CopA is ATP utilization in the absence of copper, to form a low-turnover phosphoenzyme intermediate, with a conformation similar to that obtained by phosphorylation with P(i) or phosphate analogues. On the other hand, formation of an activated state requires copper binding to both NMBD and TMBS, with consequent conformational changes involving the NMBD and A domain. Proteolytic digestion analysis demonstrates A domain movements similar to those of other P-type ATPases to place the conserved TGES motif in the optimal position for catalytic assistance. We also studied an H479Q mutation (analogous to one of human copper ATPase ATP7B in Wilson disease) that inhibits ATPase activity. We found that, in spite of the H479Q mutation within the nucleotide binding domain, the mutant still binds ATP, yielding a phosphorylation transition state conformation. However, covalent phosphoryl transfer is not completed, and no catalytic turnover is observed.

Cu-ATPase ATP7B (Wilson's disease protein) transports copper into the trans-Golgi network for biosynthetic incorporation into ceruloplasmin and sequesters excess copper to endocytic vesicles for further export out of the cell. The activity and intracellular location of ATP7B are regulated by copper levels; the trafficking of ATP7B between cellular compartments is coupled to changes in the level of protein phosphorylation. Neither the nature of the kinase(s) phosphorylating ATP7B nor the location of phosphorylation sites is known. We demonstrate that the membrane-bound ATP7B is phosphorylated by an ATP-dependent, GTP-independent kinase that can be either soluble or membrane-associated. Mg(2+) or Mn(2+) is necessary for kinase activity. We further show that the recombinant N-terminal domain of ATP7B (N-ATP7B) is a specific target for a kinase-mediated phosphorylation in vitro and in cells. Although exogenous addition of copper is not required for kinase activity, copper binding to N-ATP7B markedly alters the exposure of loops connecting the metal-binding subdomains (MBDs) to proteolysis and facilitates phosphorylation by 25-30%. MBD1-2 and MBD4-5 linkers become protected, while MBD2-3 and MBD3-4 regions remain exposed. A significant, 5-fold increase in the level of phosphorylation is also observed for the ATP7B variant that lacks the 29 kDa N-terminal fragment (mostly likely comprised of MBD1-3). Analysis of phosphorylated peptides by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry points to the loop connecting MBD3 and MBD4 as a region of phosphorylation. Altogether, the results suggest a mechanism in which kinase-mediated phosphorylation of ATP7B is controlled by a conformational state of N-ATP7B.

ATP7B is a P-type ATPase required for copper homeostasis and related to Wilson disease of humans. In addition to various domains corresponding to other P-type ATPases, ATP7B includes an N terminus extension (NMBD) with six copper binding sites. We obtained high yield expression of WT and mutant ATP7B in COS1 cells infected with adenovirus vector. ATP7B, isolated with the microsomal fraction of cell homogenates, accounts for 10-20% of the total protein. Copper-dependent, steady-state ATPase yields 30 nmol of P(i)/mg of protein/min at 37 degrees C, pH 6.0. ATP7B phosphorylation with ATP occurs with diphasic kinetics and is totally copper-dependent. Alkali labile phosphoenzyme (catalytic intermediate of P-ATPases) accounts for a small fraction of the total phosphoprotein and is prevented by D1027N (P domain) or C983A/C985A (CXC copper binding motif in TM6) mutations. Decay of [(32)P]phosphoenzyme following chase with non-radioactive ATP occurs with an initial burst involving alkali labile phosphoenzyme (absent in D1027N and C983A/C985A mutants) and continues at a slow rate involving alkali-resistant phosphoenzyme. If a copper chelator is added with the ATP chase, the initial burst is smaller, and further cleavage is totally inhibited. Analysis by proteolysis and mass spectrometry demonstrates that the alkali stable phosphoenzyme involves Ser(478) and Ser(481) (NMBD), Ser(1121) ("N" domain) and Ser(1453) (C terminus), and occurs with the same pattern ex vivo (COS-1) and in vitro (microsomes). The overall copper dependence of phosphorylation and hydrolytic cleavage suggests long range conformational effects, including interactions of NMBD and headpiece domains, with strong influence on catalytic turnover.

Copper trafficking proteins, including the chaperone Atox1 and the P(1B)-type ATPase ATP7B, have been implicated in cellular resistance to the anticancer drug cisplatin. We have determined two crystal structures of cisplatin-Atox1 adducts that reveal platinum coordination by the conserved CXXC copper-binding motif. Direct interaction of cisplatin with this functionally relevant site has significant implications for understanding the molecular basis for resistance mediated by copper transport pathways.

Copper-transporting ATPases (Cu-ATPases) ATP7A and ATP7B play an essential role in human physiological function. Their primary function is to deliver copper to the secretory pathway and export excess copper from the cell for removal or further utilization. Cells employ Cu-ATPases in numerous physiological processes that include the biosynthesis of copper-dependent enzymes, lactation, and response to hypoxia. Biochemical studies of human Cu-ATPases and their orthologs have demonstrated that Cu-ATPases share many common structural and mechanistic characteristics with other members of the P-type ATPase family. Nevertheless, the Cu-ATPases have a unique coordinate environment for their ligands, copper and ATP, and additional domains that are required for sophisticated regulation of their intracellular localization and activity. Here, we review recent progress that has been made in understanding the structure of Cu-ATPases from the analysis of their individual domains and orthologs from microorganisms, and speculate about the implications of these findings for the function and regulation of human copper pumps.

Copper (Cu) is an essential metal, although in excess is highly toxic due to its redox properties and, therefore intracellular Cu homeostasis is a highly regulated process. Cu-ATPases are pivotal regulatory, proteins of intracellular and bodily Cu homeostasis. Two Cu-ATPases, ATP7A and ATP7B with distinct, functions are found in mammals and herein we report the structure and expression under Cu stress of, homologues of ATP7A and ATP7B in gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata), the first such report for any, fish. The deduced protein sequences of S. aurata ATP7A (saATP7A) and ATP7B (saATP7B), displayed 63% and 75% identity respectively to their human homologues. All characteristic structural, features of Cu-ATPases were conserved between fish and mammals, although the number of Cu-binding, domains was less in fish ATP7B than in mammalian ATP7B. The tissue expression of sea bream, Cu-ATPases was similar to that observed in mammals, saATP7A being ubiquitously expressed, although low in liver, whilst saATP7B was mainly expressed in the intestine and liver. By analysis of the sequenced genomes of other species we have confirmed the presence of ATP7A and ATP7B genes in fish and propose that the presence of two Cu-ATPase genes in vertebrates represents a retention and neo-functionalization of a duplicated ancestral gene coincident with the development of a closed circulatory system and discrete hepato-biliary system. Expression of Cu-ATPase mRNA was changed after exposure to excess Cu in a manner dependent on exposure route and tissue type. Excess dietary Cu (130mgkg(-1) Cu dry diet) reduced saATP7A mRNA levels in intestine, gill, kidney and liver, and increased hepatic saATP7B mRNA consistent with increased biliary excretion. Whilst after waterborne Cu exposure (0.3mgL(-1) Cu), expression of ATP7A mRNA was increased in intestine and liver and toxic responses were observed in gill and liver. Our results indicate that Cu-ATPases in both fish and mammals have similar functions in maintenance of Cu homeostasis and are consistent with previous physiological evidence from various fish species for the involvement of multiple Cu-ATPases in Cu transport. Furthermore, our evidence suggests that fish can detoxify excess dietary Cu relatively efficiently but are unable to cope with excess dissolved Cu in the water, demonstrating that the exposure route is critical to toxicity.
