SecA is the precursor protein binding subunit of the bacterial precursor protein translocase, which consists of the SecY/E protein as integral membrane domain. SecA is an ATPase, and couples the hydrolysis of ATP to the release of bound precursor proteins to allow their proton-motive-force-driven translocation across the cytoplasmic membrane. A putative ATP-binding motif can be predicted from the amino acid sequence of SecA with homology to the consensus Walker A-type motif. The role of this domain is not known. A lysine residue at position 106 at the end of the glycine-rich loop in the A motif of the Bacillus subtilis SecA was replaced by an asparagine through site-directed mutagenesis (K106N SecA). A similar replacement was introduced at an adjacent lysine residue at position 101 (K101N SecA). Wild-type and mutant SecA proteins were expressed to a high level and purified to homogeneity. The catalytic efficacy (kcat/km) of the K106N SecA for lipid-stimulated ATP hydrolysis was only 1% of that of the wild-type and K101N SecA. K106N SecA retained the ability to bind ATP, but its ATPase activity was not stimulated by precursor proteins. Mutant and wild-type SecA bind with similar affinity to Escherichia coli inner membrane vesicles and insert into a phospholipid monolayer. In contrast to the wild type, membrane insertion of the K106N SecA was not prevented by ATP. K106N SecA blocks the ATP and proton-motive-force-dependent chase of a translocation intermediate to fully translocated proOmpA. It is concluded that the GKT motif in the amino-terminal domain of SecA is part of the catalytic ATP-binding site. This site may be involved in the ATP-driven protein recycling function of SecA which allows the release of SecA from its association with precursor proteins, and the phospholipid bilayer.

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.

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.

Semliki Forest virus-specific polypeptide nsP2 is a nonstructural protein involved in multiple steps during viral RNA replication. It was recently shown to possess single-stranded RNA-stimulated ATPase and GTPase activities. Replacement of the highly conserved lysine (Lys-192) within the classical nucleotide-binding motif A/GXXGXGKS/T with asparagine abolished its NTP-hydrolyzing activity. Also, about half of nsP2 is transported into the nucleus during viral infection. Substitution of the second arginine in its nuclear localization signal (P648RRRV) with aspartic acid rendered nsP2 totally cytoplasmic. To assess the functional importance of these sequence motifs, the same mutations were introduced into a cDNA clone of Semliki Forest virus, from which infectious RNA can be produced in vitro. Transfection of an RNA encoding Lys-192 --> Asn mutation into BHK cells did not promote viral infection. However, revertants encoding the wild-type amino acid were obtained. Cells transfected with RNA coding for Arg-649 --> Asp mutation gave rise to infectious virus termed SFV-RDR. Indirect immunofluorescence and subcellular fractionation of SFV-RDR-infected cells confirmed the cytoplasmic localization of nsP2. Measurement of host DNA synthesis late in infection revealed that infection with the parental virus inhibited DNA synthesis to 10% of control cells. In contrast, infection with SFV-RDR led only to a partial shutoff of cellular DNA synthesis. Mice experiments indicated that the pathogenicity of SFV-RDR was attenuated.

The high affinity ATP-binding site of SecA is located in its amino-terminal domain possessing amino acid sequences, the Walker A (GXXXXGKT) and B (ZZZZD) motifs, that are characteristic of a major class of nucleotide-binding sites (Walker, J. E., Saraste, M., Runswick, M. J., and Gay, N. J. (1982) EMBO J. 1, 945-951). Recently, we proposed that proteins possessing a typical set of Walker A and B motifs contain a conserved Glu or Asp between the two motifs. This Glu or Asp acts as a "catalytic residue" that activates a water molecule for an in-line attack on the gamma-phosphate of ATP (Amano, T., Yoshida, M., Matsuo, Y., and Nishikawa, K.(1995) FEBS Lett. 359, 1-5). In the present study, the aspartate residue at position 133 in Escherichia coli SecA, which could be the "catalytic residue," was mutated to an asparagine. The mutant SecA (SecA D133N) protein was expressed in E. coli CK4706, encoding a duplication of the secA gene, and purified to homogeneity. The in vitro protein translocation activity and membrane vesicle stimulated ATPase activity of SecA D133N were drastically reduced. Proteolytic studies indicated that the conformational changes of the mutant SecA occurring on interaction with ATP, presecretory proteins, phospholipids, and membrane vesicles, were similar to those of wild-type SecA. The mutant SecA allowed the signal peptide cleavage of proOmpA during translocation, indicating that the mutant retains the ability to bind ATP to perform the initial step of the translocation reaction. These data indicate that the carboxyl group of Asp-133 plays a role as a catalytic carboxylate, which activates a water molecule to attack gamma-phosphate of ATP, and the mutant lacking this residue cannot perform the total translocation but can still perform the initial step of the protein translocation.

To address the functional significance of motif III in Escherichia coli DNA helicase II, the conserved aspartic acid at position 248 was changed to asparagine. UvrDD248N failed to form stable binary complexes with either DNA or ATP. However, UvrDD248N was capable of forming an active ternary complex when both ATP and single-stranded DNA were present. The DNA-stimulated ATPase activity of UvrDD248N was reduced relative to that of wild-type UvrD with no significant change in the apparent Km for ATP. The mutant protein also demonstrated a reduced DNA unwinding activity. The requirement for high concentrations of UvrDD248N to achieve unwinding of long duplex substrates likely reflects the reduced stability of various binary and ternary complexes that must exist in the catalytic cycle of a helicase. The data suggest that motif III may act as an interface between the ATP binding and DNA binding domains of a helicase. The uvrDD248N allele was also characterized in genetic assays. The D248N protein complemented the UV-sensitive phenotype of a uvrD deletion strain to levels nearly equivalent to wild-type helicase II. In contrast, the mutant protein only partially complemented the mutator phenotype. A correlation between the level of genetic complementation and the helicase activity of UvrDD248N is 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.

L-Asparagine stimulates bi-directional Ca(2+) flows and induces ornithine decarboxylase in Reuber H-35 hepatoma cells. Previously it has been shown that these effects are completely, but reversibly inhibited by lanthanum chloride. In this study we examined the role(s) of Ca(2+) flows using more specific Ca(2+) flow inhibitors. It was shown that ornithine decarboxylase induction was inhibited by CdCl(2) and verapamil at concentrations above 1 mu M and 100 mu M respectively, but was unaffected by as much as 300 mu M NiCl(2), 1 mM nifedipine, or 10 mu M omega-conotoxin. Enzyme induction was blocked by the Ca(2+)-ATPase pump antagonists vanadate and Compound 48/80 in a dose-dependent manner. These results, taken together with the observations that extracellular Ca(2+) is essential for enzyme induction but a substantial elevation of cytoplasmic [Ca(2+)] is not, suggest that Ca(2+) inflow independent of the receptor-activated Ca(2+) channels, and the Ca(2+)-ATPase mediated Ca(2+) out-flow, are both important factors in the action of L-asparagine.

The maltose transport system of Escherichia coli, a member of the ABC transport superfamily of proteins, consists of a periplasmic maltose binding protein and a membrane-associated translocation complex that contains two copies of the ATP-binding protein MalK. To examine the need for two nucleotide-binding domains in this transport complex, one of the two MalK subunits was inactivated by site-directed mutagenesis. Complexes with mutations in a single subunit were obtained by attaching a polyhistidine tag to the mutagenized version of MalK and by coexpressing both wild-type MalK and mutant (His)6MalK in the same cell. Hybrid complexes containing one mutant (His)6MalK subunit and one wild-type MalK subunit were separated from those containing two mutant (His)6MalK proteins based on differential affinities for a metal chelate column. Purified transport complexes were reconstituted into proteoliposome vesicles and assayed for maltose transport and ATPase activities. When a conserved lysine residue at position 42 that is involved in ATP binding was replaced with asparagine in both MalK subunits, maltose transport and ATPase activities were reduced to 1% of those of the wild type. When the mutation was present in only one of the two subunits, the complex had 6% of the wild-type activities. Replacement of a conserved histidine residue at position 192 in MalK with arginine generated similar results. It is clear from these results that two functional MalK proteins are required for transport activity and that the two nucleotide-binding domains do not function independently to catalyze transport.

Nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase (NAPRTase; EC 2.4.2.11) forms nicotinic acid mononucleotide (NAMN) and PPi from 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate (PRPP) and nicotinic acid (NA). The Vmax NAMN synthesis activity of the Salmonella typhimurium enzyme is stimulated about 10-fold by ATP, which, when present, is hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi in 1:1 stoichiometry with NAMN formed. The overall NAPRTase reaction involves phosphorylation of a low-affinity form of the enzyme by ATP, followed by generation of a high-affinity form of the enzyme, which then binds substrates and produces NAMN. Hydrolysis of E-P then regenerates the low-affinity form of the enzyme with subsequent release of products. Our earlier studies [Gross, J., Rajavel, M., Segura, E., and Grubmeyer, C. (1996) Biochemistry 35, 3917-3924] have shown that His-219 becomes phosphorylated in the N1 (pi) position by ATP. Here, we have mutated His-219 to glutamate and asparagine and determined the properties of the purified mutant enzymes. The mutant NAPRTases fail to carry out ATPase, autophosphorylation, or ADP/ATP exchanges seen with wild-type (WT) enzyme. The mutants do catalyze the slow formation of NAMN in the absence of ATP with rates and KM values similar to those of WT. In striking contrast to WT, NAMN formation by the mutant enzymes is competitively inhibited by ATP. Thus, the NAMN synthesis reaction may occur at a site overlapping that for ATP. Previous studies suggest that the yeast NAPRTase does not catalyze NAMN synthesis in the absence of ATP. We have cloned, overexpressed, and purified the yeast enzyme and report its kinetic properties, which are similar to those of the bacterial enzyme.
