A cDNA clone encoding a zinc finger protein (AREB6) was isolated from a HeLa cell expression library using a positive regulatory element (-102 to -58) of rat Na,K-ATPase alpha 1 subunit gene (Atp1a1) as a probe. The clone is apparently an extended one of Nil-2-a originally isolated as a negative regulator of interleukin 2 gene [Williams, T.M. et al. (1991) Science 254, 1791-1794]. The open reading frame encodes 1,124 amino acids. It contains 7 zinc-finger motifs arranged in two widely separated clusters. A glutamic acid-rich region is observed at the C terminus from residues 989 to 1123. Co-transfection of the AREB6 cDNA with Atp1a1 fused to a reporter luciferase gene indicated that the AREB6 protein enhances or represses the promoter activity of the gene depending on the quantity of cDNA and on the cell type. The mRNA of AREB6 is expressed in heart and skeletal muscle, but not in liver, spleen, or pancreas. Genomic Southern analysis indicated that the gene encoding AREB6 is present as only one copy or two at most. Another cDNA clone obtained by using the same probe was identified as HEB [Hu, J.S., Olson, E.N., & Kingston, R.E. (1992) Mol. Cell. Biol. 12, 1031-1042]. Co-transfection of the cDNA enhanced or repressed the promoter activity of Atp1a1 depending on the cell type.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Acidification of the external medium of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mainly caused by proton extrusion by plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase, was inhibited to different degrees by D2O, diethylstilbestrol, suloctidil, vanadate, erythrosin B, cupric sulfate and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The same pattern of inhibition was found with the uptake of amino acids, adenine, uracil, and phosphate and sulfate anions. An increase of the acidification rate by dioctanoylglycerol also increased the rates of uptake of adenine and of glutamic acid. In contrast, a decrease of the membrane potential at pH 4.5 from a mean of -40 to -20 mV caused by 20 mM KCl had no effect on the transport rates. The ATPase-deficient mutant S. cerevisiae pmal-105 showed a markedly lower uptake of all the above solutes as compared with the wild type, while its membrane potential and delta pH were unchanged. Other types of acidification (spontaneous upon suspension; K+ stimulated) did not affect the secondary uptake systems. A partially competitive inhibition between some individual transport systems was observed, most pronouncedly with adenine as the most avidly transported solute. These observations, together with the earlier results that inhibition of H(+)-ATPase activity affects more the acidic than the basic amino acids and that it is more pronounced at higher pH values and at greater solute concentrations, support the view that it is the protons in or at the membrane, as they are extruded by the ATPase, that govern the rates of uptake by secondary active transport systems in yeast.

The chaperone protein Hsc70 is an ATPase of unknown mechanism, although the crystal structure of the 44-kDa ATPase domain has been solved. This structure shows that the hydroxyl of threonine 204 is located close to the gamma-phosphate of ATP, in a position where it might be an intermediate phosphate acceptor in the hydrolysis reaction. We made two point mutations at residue 204 of Hsc70, threonine to valine (T204V) and threonine to glutamic acid (T204E). The wild-type ATPase domain had a Km for ATP of approximately 1 microM; the mutants had Km values of approximately 90 microM. The kcat values for the mutant proteins were also increased. After crystallization, the structures of the T204V and T204E proteins were solved and refined with data to 2.3- and 2.4-A resolution, respectively. The overall tertiary structure of the mutants showed little change from the wild type; however, significant changes were observed in the active site. Analysis of the structures suggested possible reasons for the changes in kinetic constants. Threonine 204 does not seem to be an obligatory intermediate phosphate acceptor in the hydrolysis reaction since the mutants retained appreciable ATPase activity.

The vaccinia virus mRNA capping enzyme is a heterodimeric protein containing subunits of 97 and 33 kDa, the products of genes D1R and D12L, respectively. The enzyme catalyzes the first three reactions in the mRNA cap formation pathway: mRNA triphosphatase, guanyltransferase and (guanine-7-)methyltransferase. The guanyltransferase reaction proceeds by way of a covalent enzyme GMP (E-GMP) intermediate (Shuman, S. and Hurwitz, J. (1981) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 78, 187-191) in which the GMP is linked to the large subunit through a lysine residue (Toyama, R., Mizumoto, K., Nakahara, Y., Tatsuno, T., and Kaziro, Y. (1983) Eur. J. Biochem. 2, 2195-2201; Roth, M. J., and Hurwitz, J. (1984) J. Biol Chem. 259, 13488-13494). In order to identify the map position of the guanyltransferase active site lysine residue, high specific activity [32P]E-GMP was prepared. Digestion of the E-GMP with hydroxylamine at pH 9.5 yielded a 31-kDa radioactive fragment derived from amino acids 1-273. Cleavage of E-GMP with cyanogen bromide produced a radioactive peptide of 14 kDa corresponding to amino acids 242-365. Lysine residues are found at positions 244 and 260. Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease digestion of cyanogen bromide-cleaved E-GMP yields a radioactive product of about 5 kDa in molecular mass corresponding to the peptide generated by cleavage at glutamic acid residues 253 and 297, demonstrating that lysine 260 is the site of linkage of GMP.

Chemical modification and proteolytic digestion studies have identified a transmembrane glutamic acid residue (E953) of the alpha subunit of the pig kidney Na, K-ATPase as a possible cation binding site [Goldshleger et al. (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 89, 6911-6915]. In addition, an adjacent glutamate (E954) is conserved in all species and isoforms and may also be involved in cation binding. To further explore the role of these residues in ion transport, we have utilized a mutagenesis-expression strategy. This approach avoids the introduction of a large chemical moiety into the protein and allows specific amino acid substitutions to be introduced. Glutamic acid residues 955 and 956 of the rat alpha-1 subunit (corresponding to glutamates 953 and 954 of the pig kidney Na, K-ATPase) were replaced separately and together using site-directed mutagenesis of the rat alpha-1 cDNA. The mutant cDNAs were expressed in ouabain-sensitive HeLa cells. This system makes it possible to rapidly identify amino acid substitutions which significantly impair enzyme function, as substitutions which do not affect enzyme activity will yield colonies in the presence of ouabain, while substitutions which severely impair function will prevent or limit growth of the ouabain-sensitive HeLa cells. The amino acid replacements (E955Q, E956Q, E955Q-E956Q, E955D-E956D) all resulted in the growth of ouabain-sensitive cells, demonstrating that the modified Na, K-ATPase in each case was functional. To further study the altered enzymes, ouabain-resistant colonies were isolated and expanded into stable cell lines.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We evaluated the specific effects of acrolein on sulfhydryl status and plasma membrane-dependent functions of cultured pulmonary artery endothelial cells. Acrolein exposure caused a dose-dependent increase in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and decreases in reduced glutathione (GSH) and protein sulfhydryl (P-SH) content, whereas oxidized glutathione (GSSG) content was not altered. Exposure to 4.5 microM, but not 1.5 or 3.0 microM, of acrolein caused significant (p < 0.05) LDH release. With increasing concentrations (25 microM) of acrolein, LDH release was increased to 66% (p < 0.001). Acrolein (3.0-25 microM) resulted in 36 to 100% reductions in GSH content, whereas reductions in P-SH content at these concentrations of acrolein ranged from 11 to 37%. Uptake of amino acids (cystine, glycine, and glutamic acid) and incorporation of valine into the protein fraction were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent fashion in acrolein (1.5-4.5 microM)-exposed cells. Reductions in cystine, glycine, and glutamic acid uptakes were maximal in cells exposed to 3 and 4.5 microM acrolein (p < 0.001). Similarly, maximum reductions (p < 0.001) in both uptake and incorporation of valine into the protein fraction were observed at 3.0 and 4.5 microM acrolein. Acrolein (1.5 microM) also resulted in significant loss of plasma membrane-specific Na+/K(+)-ATPase as well as plasma membrane P-SH content (p < 0.05 for both). When cells were treated with ouabain, reductions in amino acid uptake were observed, and this appeared to mimic the effect of acrolein exposure. When isolated plasma membranes were exposed to a known SH-alkylating agent, N-ethylmaleimide, losses of Na+/K(+)-ATPase and P-SH content were observed and were similar to the effects following exposure to acrolein. These results demonstrate that acrolein exposure results in alterations of plasma membrane-dependent transport in pulmonary artery endothelial cells, leading to reduced availability of precursor amino acids used in GSH and protein synthesis. This plasma membrane injury is accompanied by reductions in the GSH and P-SH contents of these cells. Loss of the plasma membrane P-SH appears to be associated with specific inactivation of Na+/K(+)-ATPase.

In vitro incubation of immunoprecipitated immunoglobulin-binding protein (BiP) complexes with calcium and [gamma-32P]ATP resulted in the phosphorylation of BiP on a threonine residue. This autophosphorylation activity did not occur in the presence of magnesium but had the same pH optimum as reported for its magnesium-dependent ATPase activity. This suggested the possibility that both activities could occur through ATP hydrolysis at the same site. In support of this, mutation of either Thr-37 or Thr-229 to a glycine eliminated both autophosphorylation and ATPase activities, and mutation of either residue to a serine significantly reduced both activities. Glutamic acid 175 in HSC71 has been hypothesized to flank the divalent cation complexed with ATP. Mutation of the analogous glutamic acid, Glu-201, in BiP abolished ATPase activity but still supported some autophosphorylation. The in vitro phosphorylation site was mapped to Thr-229 by mutational analysis. This threonine has been hypothesized to interact with the gamma-phosphate of ATP through a polarized water molecule and would be in a position to act as a phosphate acceptor in the ATP hydrolysis reaction. These data imply that both ATPase and autophosphorylation result from ATP hydrolysis at the same site and that the cation associated with BiP determines which activity is observed. Comparison of partial protease digestion or cyanogen bromide cleavage products of in vitro and in vivo phosphorylated BiP demonstrated that Thr-229 is not a detectable site of phosphorylation in cells. Therefore, whatever functional role phosphorylation may have in vivo, it cannot be attributed to autophosphorylation of Thr-229.

Gastric H+,K(+)-ATPase was functionally expressed in the human kidney HEK293 cell line. The expressed enzyme catalyzed ouabain-resistant K(+)-dependent ATP hydrolysis. The K(+)-ATPase activity was inhibited by SCH 28090, a specific inhibitor of gastric proton pump, in a dose-dependent manner. By using this functional expression system in combination with site-directed mutagenesis, we investigated effects of mutations in the putative cation binding site and the catalytic center of the gastric H+,K(+)-ATPase. In Na+,K(+)-ATPase, the glutamic acid residue in the 4th transmembrane segment is regarded as one of the residues responsible for the K(+)-induced conformational change (Kuntzweiler, T. A., Wallick, E. T., Johnson, C. L., and Lingrel, J. B. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 2993-3000). When the corresponding glutamic acid (Glu-345) of H+,K(+)-ATPase was mutated to aspartic acid, lysine, or valine, the SCH 28080-sensitive K(+)-ATPase activity was abolished. However, when this residue was replaced by glutamine, about 50% of the activity was retained. This mutant showed a 10-fold lower affinity for K+ (Km = 2.6 mM) compared with the wild-type enzyme (Km = 0.24 mm). Thus, Glu-345 is important in determining the K+ affinity of H+,K(+)-ATPase. When the aspartic acid residue in the phosphorylation site was mutated to glutamic acid, this mutant showed no SCH 28080-sensitive K(+)-ATPase activity. Thus, amino acid replacement of the phosphorylation site is not tolerated and a stringent structure appears to be required for enzyme activity. When the lysine residue in the fluorescein isothiocyanate binding site (part of ATP binding site) was mutated to arginine, asparagine, or glutamic acid, the SCH 28080-sensitive K(+)-ATPase activity was eliminated. However, the mutant in which this residue was changed to glutamine had about 30% of the activity, suggesting that amino acid replacement of this site is tolerated to a certain extent.

It has been proposed that lysine 71 of the bovine 70-kDa heat shock cognate protein might participate in catalysis of ATP hydrolysis by stabilizing an H2O molecule or an OH- ion for nucleophilic attack on the gamma-phosphate of the nucleotide (Flaherty, K. M., Wilbanks, S. M., DeLuca-Flaherty, C., and McKay, D. B. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 12899-12907; Wilbanks, S. M., DeLuca-Flaherty, C., and McKay, D. B. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 12893-12898). To test this hypothesis, lysine 71 of the ATPase fragment 70-kDa heat shock cognate protein has been mutated to glutamic acid, methionine, and alanine; and the kinetic and structural properties of the mutant proteins have been determined. All three mutant proteins are devoid of measurable ATP hydrolysis activity. Crystal structures of the mutant proteins have been determined to a resolution of 1.7 A; all three have ATP in the nucleotide binding site. These data identify lysine 71 as a residue that is essential for chemical hydrolysis of ATP.

mRNA degradation is an important control point in the regulation of gene expression and has been linked to the process of translation. One clear example of this linkage is the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay pathway, in which nonsense mutations in a gene can reduce the abundance of the mRNA transcribed from that gene. For the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the Upf1 protein (Upf1p), which contains a cysteine- and histidine-rich region and nucleoside triphosphate hydrolysis and helicase motifs, was shown to be a trans-acting factor in this decay pathway. Biochemical analysis of the wild-type Upf1p demonstrates that it has RNA-dependent ATPase, RNA helicase, and RNA binding activities. A UPF1 gene disruption results in stabilization of nonsense-containing mRNAs, leading to the production of enough functional product to overcome an auxotrophy resulting from a nonsense mutation. A genetic and biochemical study of the UPF1 gene was undertaken in order to understand the mechanism of Upf1p function in the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay pathway. Our analysis suggests that Upf1p is a multifunctional protein with separable activities that can affect mRNA turnover and nonsense suppression. Mutations in the conserved helicase motifs of Upf1p that inactivate its mRNA decay function while not allowing suppression of leu2-2 and tyr7-1 nonsense alleles have been identified. In particular, one mutation located in the ATP binding and hydrolysis motif of Upf1p that changed the aspartic and glutamic acid residues to alanine residues (DE572AA) lacked ATPase and helicase activities, and the mutant formed a Upf1p:RNA complex in the absence of ATP; surprisingly, however, the Upf1p:RNA complex dissociated as a consequence of ATP binding. This result suggests that ATP binding, independent of its hydrolysis, can modulate Upf1p:RNA complex formation for this mutant protein. The role of the RNA binding activity of Upf1p in modulating nonsense suppression is discussed.
