The lysine-rich sequence (-KKGGKKK-) located at the 50,000/20,000 Mr junction of myosin subfragment-1 (S-1) was cleaved by endoprotease Arg-C or by trypsin in the presence of ATP and an equimolar amount of actin. Under these conditions, cleavage by Arg-C was between the first and second lysine residues, whereas cleavage by trypsin was between the third and fourth lysine residues. The actin-activated MgATPase activity of the S-1 cleaved by Arg-C was almost the same as native S-1, but S-1 cleaved by trypsin showed markedly reduced ATPase activity.

We have used fluorescence spectroscopy to characterize three covalently bound spectroscopic maleimide derivatives with respect to their location within the tertiary structure of the Ca-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). These derivatives include (1) 2-(4'-maleimidoanilino)naphthalene-6-sulfonic acid, (2) 4-(dimethylamino)azobenzene-4'-maleimide, and (3) fluorescein 5'-maleimide. Biochemical assays demonstrate that modification with any of these three derivatives results in the same functional effects, observed following derivatization of cysteines 344 and 364 by N-ethylmaleimide [Saito-Nakatsuka et al. (1987) J. Biochem. (Tokyo) 101, 365-376]. These residues bracket the ATPase's phosphorylation site (Asp 351) and thus may provide spectroscopic probes of the protein's conformation in this essential region. In agreement with sequencing results, SDS-polyacrylamide gels show that maleimide-modified SR exhibits fluorescence exclusively on the A1 tryptic fragment of the Ca-ATPase. Extensive tryptic digestion followed by centrifugation demonstrates essentially all of the fluorescence was associated with the soluble rather than insoluble (membrane-associated) peptides, confirming the predicted extramembranous location of these residues. Utilizing frequency-domain fluorescence spectroscopy, we were able to recover the transient effects associated with a distribution of donor-acceptor distances. We find from these fluorescence resonance energy transfer measurements that covalently bound maleimide probes are 36 A apart, independent of whether a discrete distance is assumed or a distance distribution model is utilized, in which the conformational variability of the protein is taken into account. While a unimodal distance distribution is adequate to describe the intensity decay associated with maleimide-directed donor-acceptor pairs, a bimodal distribution of distances is necessary to describe the frequency response associated with the energy transfer between maleimide-directed chromophores and other covalently bound probes on the Ca-ATPase, consistent with the large spatial separation observed between maleimides. We recover mean distances of 42 and 77 A between maleimide sites and bound FITC (Lys 515) and mean distances of 28 and 37 A between the maleimide- and the iodoacetamide-directed probes (Cys 670 and 674, whose close proximity approximates a single locus). The measured distances are presented in a model and have permitted us to describe a unique arrangement of these covalently bound probes within both the secondary and tertiary structure of the Ca-ATPase. The resolution inherent in the frequency-domain fluorescence technique to multiple donor-acceptor distances should be generally applicable to a wide range of biological systems in which specific labeling of single unique donor-acceptor sites is not feasible.

Mutations have been made in the exposed region of the avian troponin C central helix, the D/E linker, which change its length and the orientation of the Ca2(+)-binding domains relative to each other. The region 87Glu-Asp-Ala-Lys-Gly-Lys-Ser-Glu-Glu-Glu97 has been altered in five deletion (d) mutants: dEDA, dKG, dKGK, dSEEE, and dKEDAKGK. The recombinant troponin Cs were expressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and assayed for function. All mutants retained basic troponin C function. They all bound Ca2+ to the low and high affinity sites, and they all were able to confer Ca2+ sensitivity on the regulated actomyosin ATPase. However, the regulatory function of all mutants except dSEEE was defective in one part of the Ca2+ switch or the other. In certain conditions dKGK and dKEDAKGK failed to inhibit fully whereas dEDA and dKG failed to activate the regulated actomyosin ATPase fully. The following general conclusions have been made. (a) The length of the D/E linker per se (assuming the linker is helical) and the orientation of the two Ca2(+)-binding domains relative to each other are not crucial for regulation. (b) The conserved charge cluster 95Glu-Glu-Glu97, in a region of troponin C known to bind to troponin I and postulated to be required for regulation, appears to be unimportant for function. (c) Deletion of 88Glu-Asp-Ala90 resulted in a troponin C that could not activate the actomyosin (or S1) ATPase over the level of actomyosin alone, thus defining a role for troponin C in this aspect of thin filament regulation. The results have been interpreted in terms of the crystallographic structure of troponin C and related to results with analogous calmodulin mutants.

UvrA is the ATPase subunit of the DNA repair enzyme (A)BC excinuclease. The amino acid sequence of this protein has revealed, in addition to two zinc fingers, three pairs of nucleotide binding motifs each consisting of a Walker A and B sequence. We have conducted site-specific mutagenesis, ATPase kinetic analyses, and nucleotide binding equilibrium measurements to correlate these sequence motifs with activity. Replacement of the invariant Lys by Ala in the putative A sequences indicated that K37 and K646 but not K353 are involved in ATP hydrolysis. In contrast, substitution of the invariant Asp by Asn in the B sequences at positions D238, D513, or D857 had little effect on the in vivo activity of the protein. Nucleotide binding studies revealed a stoichiometry of 0.5 ADP/UvrA monomer while kinetic measurements on wild-type and mutant proteins showed that the active form of UvrA is a dimer with 2 catalytic sites which interact in a positive cooperative manner in the presence of ADP; mutagenesis of K37 but not of K646 attenuated this cooperativity. Loss of ATPase activity was about 75% in the K37A, 86% in the K646A mutant, and 95% in the K37A-K646A double mutant. These amino acid substitutions had only a marginal effect on the specific binding of UvrA to damaged DNA but drastically reduced its ability to deliver UvrB to the damage site. We find that the deficient UvrB loading activity of these mutant UvrA proteins results from their inability to associate with UvrB in the form of (UvrA)2(UvrB)1 complexes. We conclude that UvrA forms a dimer with two ATPase domains involving K37 and K646 and that the work performed by ATP hydrolysis is the delivery of UvrB to the damage site on DNA.

The two isoforms of ribulose 1,2-bisphosphate carboxylase activase (Rbu-P2 carboxylase) from spinach (Spinacea oleracea L.) were individually purified from Escherichia coli transformed with expression vectors for the appropriate cDNAs. Both isoforms catalyzed activation of Rbu-P2 carboxylase (ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, EC 4.1.1.39) and ATP hydrolysis. The kinetics of the two isoforms with respect to ATP concentration were different, in that the 45-kDa polypeptide exhibited a sigmoidal response while a rectangular response was observed with the 41-kDa isoform. These observations suggest that the additional domain at the C terminus of the 45-kDa isoform modulates the ATP regulation of activity. Lysine 169, at the putative ATP-binding site of the 41-kDa form of Rbu-P2 carboxylase activase, was changed to arginine, isoleucine, and threonine by directed mutagenesis. These mutations abolished Rbu-P2 carboxylase activase and ATPase activities, as well as the capability of the protein to bind ATP. These results confirm that lysine 169 is an essential residue.

The roles of the two tandemly arranged putative ATP binding sites of Escherichia coli UvrA in UvrABC endonuclease-mediated excision repair were analyzed by site-directed mutagenesis and biochemical characterization of the representative mutant proteins. Evidence is presented that UvrA has two functional ATPase sites which coincide with the putative ATP binding motifs predicted from its amino acid sequence. The individual ATPase sites can independently hydrolyze ATP. The C-terminal ATPase site has a higher affinity for ATP than the N-terminal site. The invariable lysine residues at the ends of the glycine-rich loops of the consensus Walker type "A" motifs are indispensable for ATP hydrolysis. However, the mutations at these lysine residues do not significantly affect ATP binding. UvrA, with bound ATP, forms the most favored conformation for DNA binding. The initial binding of UvrA to DNA is chiefly at the undamaged sites. In contrast to the wild type UvrA, the ATPase site mutants bind equally to damaged and undamaged sites. Dissociation of tightly bound nucleoprotein complexes from the undamaged sites requires hydrolysis of ATP by the C-terminal ATPase site of UvrA. Thus, both ATP binding and hydrolysis are required for the damage recognition step enabling UvrA to discriminate between damaged and undamaged sites on DNA.

A sequence motif in the beta subunit of Escherichia coli F1 (Gly-Gly-Ala-Gly-Val-Gly-Lys-Thr, residue 149-156, where conserved residues are underlined) is one of the glycine-rich sequences found in many nucleotide binding proteins. In this study, we constructed a plasmid carrying all the F0F1 genes. This plasmid gave the highest membrane ATPase activity so far reported. Substitution of beta Gly149 by Ser suppressed the effect of the beta Ser174----Phe mutation (defective H(+)-ATPase), but beta Gly150----Ser substitution did not have this effect. A single mutation (beta Gly149----Ser or beta Gly150----Ser) gave active enzyme with altered divalent cation dependency and azide sensitivity: the beta Gly149----Ser mutant enzyme had 100-fold lower azide sensitivity and essentially no Ca(2+)-dependent activity, but had the wild-type level of Mg(2+)-dependent activity with active oxidative phosphorylation. Introduction of a beta Gly149----Ser or beta Gly150----Ser mutation with the beta Ser174----Phe mutation also lowered the Ca(2+)-dependent activity and azide sensitivity. Consistent with our previous findings (Takeyama, M., Ihara, K., Moriyama, Y., Noumi, T., Ida, K., Tomioka, N., Itai, A., Maeda, M., and Futai, M. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 21279-21284), a beta Thr156----Ala or Cys mutation impaired ATPase activity, suggesting that the hydroxyl moiety at position 156 is essential for the catalytic activity. The possible location of the catalytic site including divalent cation binding site(s) is discussed.

The amino acid structure of regulatory light chain which is essential to express the phosphorylation-mediated regulation of smooth muscle actomyosin ATPase was studied. Regulatory light chain of smooth muscle heavy meromyosin (HMM) was truncated by either lysylendopeptidase or trypsin. Lysylendopeptidase cleaved the regulatory light chain initially at the C-terminal side of lysine 6 (Lys C(1)-HMM) and subsequently at the C-terminal side of lysine 12 (Lys C(2)-HMM). On the other hand, trypsin cleaved at the C-terminal side of arginine 16 (tryp-HMM). While the actin activated ATPase activity of Lys C(1)-HMM and Lys C(2)-HMM was markedly activated by phosphorylation, that of tryp-HMM was not activated by phosphorylation. The exchange of cleaved regulatory light chain of tryp-HMM with undigested regulatory light chain restored the phosphorylation-mediated regulation on the actin activated ATPase activity. The regulatory light chain of the undigested HMM was also exchanged with the trypsin-digested regulatory light chain and this abolished the phosphorylation dependence of acto-HMM ATPase activity. These results show that the amino acid sequence arginine 13-arginine 16 is essential to express the regulation of actin activated ATPase of smooth muscle myosin which is mediated by the phosphorylation at serine 19 of the regulatory light chain.

Fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate (FITC) covalently modifies the Lys-501 residue of the catalytic (alpha) subunit of Na+,K(+)-ATPase and resides at a conformation-sensitive site in or near the ATP binding site. In these studies, FITC-directed antibodies which quench this hapten's fluorescence were used to infer the solvent accessibility of the enzyme-bound probe. These antibodies identified two FITC labeling populations. An antibody-accessible population, representing 20-50% of the bound FITC fluorescence, was essentially (95%) quenched by the antibody. The second population was irreversibly labeled, was inaccessible to antibody, and was the fraction of probe whose fluorescence intensity is sensitive to the enzyme's conformation. The anti-FITC antibodies therefore permitted the selective investigation of FITC at this active site. Distinct differences between the two labeling sites were then demonstrated. Shifts in the absorption spectrum suggested that the active-site-bound probe resides in a hydrophobic environment, while polarization values indicated a rigid, rotationally restricted location. These two properties were not altered by ligand additions. Iodide quenching studies, however, showed that in the E1Na+ conformation there was a 50% decrease in solvent access to the active-site-bound probe as compared to free probe while the E1Na(+)----E2K+ transition decreased this accessibility an additional 50%. Similarly, there was a significant decrease in the relative quantum yield of FITC linked at this site that was reduced further by the E1Na(+)----E2K+ transition. In contrast, frequency domain spectroscopy showed no significant differences in the lifetimes of fluorescence decay for the two different labeling populations nor for the high (E1Na+) and low (E2K+) fluorescence intensity conformations. We have found that static (lifetime independent) quenching rather than collisional processes or protonation changes accounts for the fluorescence intensity changes undergone by FITC bound at the ATP-protectable site.

A synthetic, 28-residue peptide derived from the calmodulin-binding sequence of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump (C28W) inhibits the ATPase activity of a calpain-produced, truncated fragment of the enzyme. The fragment, which has lost the calmodulin-binding domain, has a molecular mass of 124 kDa and is fully active in the absence of calmodulin. Replacement of Trp-8 in the peptide by an Ala decreases the overall inhibitory activity, while replacement with a Tyr increases it. However, at very low peptide concentrations the effect of Tyr replacement disappears. The synthetic peptide has been made photoactivatable by replacing Phe in position 9 with a synthetic phenylalanine analogue containing a diazirine group and was radioactively labeled by coupling a [3H]acetyl function to its N terminus. After cross-linking with the derivatized peptide, the 124-kDa fragment has been proteolyzed with either Lys-C, Asp-N, or V8 proteases, and the fragment(s) have been separated. Partial sequencing of the cross-linked, radioactive peptides has identified a site of the pump located C terminally to the phosphoenzyme-forming aspartic acid, spanning residues 537-544 of the hPMCA4 isoform of the enzyme. It is concluded that this sequence is part of a site which binds the calmodulin-binding domain of the pump.
