We present the nucleotide sequence of a 5207-bp-long region of the mitochondrial genome of the dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum. This represents about 1/5th of the total genome and extends a previous study. From the 5' end of the present sequence, the order of genes is as follows: the end of the ND4 gene, the gene coding for subunit 6 of ATPase, the gene coding for the small ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA), the tyrosyl tRNA gene, the ND6 gene, the COXIII gene, the ATPase 8 subunit gene and a cluster of tRNAs genes corresponding respectively to the lysine, glutamine, asparagine, isoleucine and tryptophan isoacceptors. The interesting features of this region are its compact organisation, the presence of subunit 8 of the ATPase gene and the secondary structure of SSU rRNA which is close to that of Aspergillus nidulans. On the basis of the order of the genes, which is essentially similar to that of A. nidulans, we can also assume that the LSU rRNA subunit gene should be just upstream of this sequenced region.

1. To study the functional role of negatively charged amino acids (E327 and D925) located in the transmembrane region of the rat alpha 2-isoform of the Na+, K(+)-ATPase (rat alpha 2*) in ion transport, the effects of mutations on external K+ dependence and internal Na+ dependence of pump currents were assessed by the patch-clamp technique in combination with a system for rapid solution changes. 2. Amino acid residues were replaced by glutamine (E327Q) or leucine (D925L) and were introduced into rat alpha 2* cDNA which encodes a ouabain-resistant isoform. These mutant enzymes were stably expressed in HeLa cells. The endogenous ouabain-sensitive HeLa cell Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity was selectively inhibited by 1 microM ouabain present in both the growing media and the assay solution. 3. External K(+)- and internal Na(+)-dependent pump activation was observed in all cells expressing rat alpha 2*, E327Q or D925L; however, the apparent affinities were significantly reduced by the mutations. 4. In E327Q, the activation of pump current was slightly slower than for rat alpha 2*, whereas the deactivation rate was faster. In contrast, D925L produced pump current having dramatically slower activation and deactivation kinetics. 5. These results indicate that these negatively charged amino acids (E327 and D925) are important in cation-induced conformational changes of the protein, which are intermediate steps in the pump mechanism.

Gastric H+, K+ -ATPase comprised of alpha- and beta-subunits was functionally expressed in an animal cell-line. When glutamic acid (345) of the alpha-subunit was mutated to glutamine, the affinity of K+ decreased 10-fold, indicating that this residue in the 4th transmembrane domain engages in the determination of the K+ affinity. The roles of other residues are also discussed. The number of the binding site of proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole and E3810 (rabeprazole) is 1, which is contrary to the proposal of 2 or 3 by other researchers. The reason of this discrepancy is explained. The interaction between 2 or 4 alpha-subunits was shown to be necessary for the function of this pump. Finally, recent topics about H+ -ATPase are discussed.

We have used time-resolved Fourier transformed infrared difference spectroscopy to characterize the amplitude, frequency, and kinetics of the absorbance changes induced in the infrared (IR) spectrum of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase by calcium binding at the high-affinity transport sites. 1-(2-Nitro-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-N,N,N',N'-tetrakis [(oxycarbonyl)methyl]-1,2-ethanediamine (DM-nitrophen) was used as a caged-calcium compound to trigger the release of calcium in the IR samples. Calcium binding to Ca(2+)-ATPase induces the appearance of spectral bands in difference spectra that are all absent in the presence of the inhibitor thapsigargin. Spectral bands above 1700 cm-1 indicate that glutamic and/or aspartic acid side chains are deprotonated upon calcium binding, whereas other bands may be induced by reactions of asparagine, glutamine, and tyrosine residues. Some of the bands appearing in the 1690-1610 cm-1 region arise from modifications of peptide backbone carbonyl groups. The band at 1653 cm-1 is a candidate for a change in an alpha-helix, whereas other bands could arise from modifications of random, turn, or beta-sheet structures or from main-chain carbonyl groups playing the role of calcium ligands. Only a few residues are involved in secondary structure changes. The kinetic evolution of these bands was recorded at low temperature (-9 degrees C). All bands exhibited a monophasic kinetics of rate constant 0.026 s-1, which is compatible with that measured in previous study at the same temperature in a suspension of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles by intrinsic fluorescence of Ca(2+)-ATPase.

Elongation factor 3 (EF-3) is an essential requirement of the fungi for translational elongation. EF-3 is an ATPase, and the hydrolytic activity is stimulated 2 orders of magnitude by yeast ribosomes. Limited trypsinolysis of EF-3 results in the cleavage of a single peptide bond between residues 774 (Arg) and 775 (Gln), generating polypeptides of approximate molecular mass 90 and 30 kDa. The 90-kDa fragment is relatively resistant to proteolysis and retains ribosome-independent ATPase activity. The 30-kDa fragment is further proteolyzed into smaller fragments and retains the specificity for binding to yeast ribosomes. Both the intact EF-3 and the 30-kDa fragment are protected from proteolysis by yeast ribosomes. EF-3 is NH2 terminally blocked, and so is the 90-kDa fragment. The COOH terminally derived 30-kDa fragment contains glutamine (residue 775) at the NH2-terminal end. A construct was designed representing the COOH-terminal domain of EF-3 (30-kDa fragment), subcloned, and expressed as a glutathione S-transferase fusion in yeast. The glutathione S-transferase-30-kDa peptide remains stringently associated with ribosomes. Isolated fusion peptide rebinds to yeast ribosomes with high affinity. Based on these results, we propose that at least one of the ribosome-binding sites of EF-3 resides at the COOH-terminal end of the protein.

A mutant of the Escherichia coli F1F0-ATPase has been generated (alphaQ2C) in which the glutamine at position 2 of the alpha subunit has been replaced with a cysteine residue. Cu2+ treatment of ECF1 from this mutant cross-linked an alpha subunit to the delta subunit in high yield. Two different sites of disulfide bond formation were involved, i.e. between Cys90 (or the closely spaced Cys47) of alpha with Cys140 of delta, and between Cys2 of alpha and Cys140 of delta. Small amounts of other cross-linked products, including alpha-alpha, delta internal, and alpha-alpha-delta were obtained. In ECF1F0, there was no cross-linking between the intrinsic Cys of alpha and Cys140. Instead, the product generated between Cys2 of alpha and Cys140 of delta was obtained at near 90% yield. Small amounts of alpha-alpha and delta internal were present, and under high Cu2+ concentrations, alpha-alpha-delta was also formed. The ATPase activity of ECF1 and ECF1F0 was not significantly affected by the presence of these cross-links. When Cys140 of delta was first modified with N-ethylmaleimide in ECF1F0, an alpha-delta cross-link was still produced, although in lower yield, between Cys64 of delta and Cys2 of alpha. ATP hydrolysis-linked proton pumping of inner membranes from the mutant alpha2QC was only marginally affected by cross-linking of the alpha to the delta subunit. These results indicate that Cys140 and Cys64 of the delta subunit and Cys2 of the alpha subunit are in close proximity. This places the delta subunit near the top of the alpha-beta hexagon and not in the stalk region. As fixing the delta to the alpha by cross-linking does not greatly impair either the ATPase function of the enzyme, or coupled proton translocation, we argue that the delta subunit forms a portion of the stator linking F1 to F0.

PMID:Cross-linking of the delta subunit to one of the three alpha subunits has no effect on functioning, as expected if delta is a part of the stator that links the F1 and F0 parts of the Escherichia coli ATP synthase. 919 80

The three-dimensional structure of the complex between human H-Ras bound to guanosine diphosphate and the guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase)-activating domain of the human GTPase-activating protein p120GAP (GAP-334) in the presence of aluminum fluoride was solved at a resolution of 2.5 angstroms. The structure shows the partly hydrophilic and partly hydrophobic nature of the communication between the two molecules, which explains the sensitivity of the interaction toward both salts and lipids. An arginine side chain (arginine-789) of GAP-334 is supplied into the active site of Ras to neutralize developing charges in the transition state. The switch II region of Ras is stabilized by GAP-334, thus allowing glutamine-61 of Ras, mutation of which activates the oncogenic potential, to participate in catalysis. The structural arrangement in the active site is consistent with a mostly associative mechanism of phosphoryl transfer and provides an explanation for the activation of Ras by glycine-12 and glutamine-61 mutations. Glycine-12 in the transition state mimic is within van der Waals distance of both arginine-789 of GAP-334 and glutamine-61 of Ras, and even its mutation to alanine would disturb the arrangements of residues in the transition state.

The Drosophila nucleosome remodeling factor NURF utilizes the energy of ATP hydrolysis to perturb the structure of nucleosomes and facilitate binding of transcription factors. The ATPase activity of purified NURF is stimulated significantly more by nucleosomes than by naked DNA or histones alone, suggesting that NURF is able to recognize specific features of the nucleosome. Here, we show that the interaction between NURF and nucleosomes is impaired by proteolytic removal of the N-terminal histone tails and by chemical cross-linking of nucleosomal histones. The ATPase activity of NURF is also competitively inhibited by each of the four Drosophila histone tails expressed as GST fusion proteins. A similar inhibition is observed for a histone H4 tail substituted with glutamine at four conserved, acetylatable lysines. These findings indicate a novel role for the flexible histone tails in chromatin remodeling by NURF, and this role may, in part, be independent of histone acetylation.

Tissue transglutaminase (TGase II) catalyzes the posttranslational modification of proteins by transamidation of available glutamine residues and is also a guanosinetriphosphatase (GTPase) and adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase). Based on its homology with factor XIIIA, an extracellular transglutaminase, the structure of TGase II is likely composed of an N-terminal beta-sandwich domain, an alpha/beta catalytic core, and two C-terminally located beta-barrels. Here we used a domain-deletion approach to identify the GTP and ATP hydrolytic domains of TGase II. Full-length TGase II and two domain-deletion mutants, one retaining the N-terminal beta-sandwich and core domains (betaSCore) and the other retaining only the core domain, were expressed as glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins and purified. GST-Full and GST-betaSCore exhibited calcium-dependent TGase activity, whereas GST-Core had no detectable TGase activity, indicating the beta-sandwich domain is required for TGase activity but the C-terminal beta-barrels are not. All three GST-TGase II fusion proteins were photoaffinity-labeled with [alpha-32P]-8-azidoGTP and were able to bind GTP-agarose. The GTPase activity of GST-betaSCore was equivalent to that of GST-Full, whereas the ATPase activity was approximately 40% higher than GST-Full. GST-Core had approximately 50% higher GTPase activity and approximately 75% higher ATPase activity than GST-Full. The GTPase and ATPase activities of each of the GST-TGase II fusion proteins were inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by both GTPgammaS and ATPgammaS. These results demonstrate that the GTP and ATP hydrolysis sites are localized within the core domain of TGase II and that neither the N-terminal beta-sandwich domain nor the C-terminal beta-barrels are required for either GTP or ATP hydrolysis. Taken together with previous work [Singh, U. S., Erickson, J. W., & Cerione, R. A. (1995) Biochemistry 34, 15863-15871; Lai, T.-S., Slaughter, T. F., Koropchak, C. M., Haroon, Z. A., & Greenberg, C. S. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 31191-31195] the results of this study indicate that the GTP and ATP hydrolysis sites are localized to a 5. 5 kDa (47 amino acid) region at the start of the core domain.

A 1.7-kilobase pair segment from the conjugative transfer region of plasmid R388 DNA was cloned and sequenced. It contained trwD, a gene essential for plasmid R388 conjugation, for expression of the conjugative W-pilus and for sensitivity to phage PRD1. The deduced amino acid sequence of TrwD showed homology to the PulE/VirB11 superfamily of potential ATPases involved in various types of transport processes. A fusion of trwD with the glutathione S-transferase (GST) was constructed, and the resulting fusion protein was purified from overproducing bacteria. Factor Xa hydrolysis of GST-TrwD and further purification rendered TrwD protein with more than 95% purity. Antibodies raised against TrwD localized it both in the soluble fraction and in the outer membrane of Escherichia coli. TrwD is probably a peripheral outer membrane protein because it could be solubilized by increasing salt concentration to 0.5 M NaCl in the lysis buffer. Both purified GST-TrwD and TrwD could hydrolize ATP. ATPase activity increased 2-fold in the presence of detergent-phospholipid mixed micelles. To study the importance of the nucleotide-binding site, Walker box A (GXXGXGK(T/S)), present in TrwD, the conserved lysine residue was replaced by glutamine. The mutant protein, expressed and purified under the same conditions as the wild type, did not exhibit ATPase activity. TrwD(K203Q) was not able to complement the mutation in trwD of the R388 mutant plasmid, suggesting the essentiality of the ATPase activity of the protein in the conjugative process. Furthermore, the dominant character of this mutation suggested that GST-TrwD(K432Q) was still able to interact either with itself or with other component(s) of the conjugative machinery.
