The actin-activated ATPase activity of Acanthamoeba myosin IC is stimulated 15- to 20-fold by phosphorylation of Ser-329 in the heavy chain. In most myosins, either glutamate or aspartate occupies this position, which lies within a surface loop that forms part of the actomyosin interface. To investigate the apparent need for a negative charge at this site, we mutated Ser-329 to alanine, asparagine, aspartate, or glutamate and coexpressed the Flag-tagged wild-type or mutant heavy chain and light chain in baculovirus-infected insect cells. Recombinant wild-type myosin IC was indistinguishable from myosin IC purified from Acanthamoeba as determined by (i) the dependence of its actin-activated ATPase activity on heavy-chain phosphorylation, (ii) the unusual triphasic dependence of its ATPase activity on the concentration of F-actin, (iii) its Km for ATP, and (iv) its ability to translocate actin filaments. The Ala and Asn mutants had the same low actin-activated ATPase activity as unphosphorylated wild-type myosin IC. The Glu mutant, like the phosphorylated wild-type protein, was 16-fold more active than unphosphorylated wild type, and the Asp mutant was 8-fold more active. The wild-type and mutant proteins had the same Km for ATP. Unphosphorylated wild-type protein and the Ala and Asn mutants were unable to translocate actin filaments, whereas the Glu mutant translocated filaments at the same velocity, and the Asp mutant at 50% the velocity, as phosphorylated wild-type proteins. These results demonstrate that an acidic amino acid can supply the negative charge in the surface loop required for the actin-dependent activities of Acanthamoeba myosin IC in vitro and indicate that the length of the side chain that delivers this charge is important.

The highly conserved non-structural protein 2C of picornaviruses is involved in viral genome replication and encapsidation and in the rearrangement of intracellular structures. 2C binds RNA, has nucleoside triphosphatase activity, and shares three motifs with superfamily III helicases. Motifs "A" and "B" are involved in nucleotide triphosphate (NTP) binding and hydrolysis, whereas a function for motif "C" has not yet been demonstrated. Poliovirus RNA replication is inhibited by millimolar concentrations of guanidine hydrochloride (GdnHCl). Resistance and dependence to GdnHCl map to 2C. To characterize the nucleoside triphosphatase activity of 2C, we purified poliovirus recombinant 2C fused to glutathione S-transferase (GST-2C) from Escherichia coli. GST-2C hydrolyzed ATP with a Km of 0.7 mM. Other NTPs, including GTP, competed with ATP for binding to 2C but were poor substrates for hydrolysis. Mutation of conserved residues in motif A and B abolished ATPase activity, as did mutation of the conserved asparagine residue in motif C, an observation indicating the involvement of this motif in ATP hydrolysis. GdnHCl at millimolar concentrations inhibited ATP hydrolysis. Mutations in 2C that confer poliovirus resistant to or dependent on GdnHCl increased the tolerance to GdnHCl up to 100-fold.

BHE/Cdb and Sprague-Dawley rats differ in their mitochondrial DNA sequence for the ATPase 6 ("subunit a") gene. Base substitutions in this sequence result in the substitution of asparagine for aspartate at position 101 and the substitution of serine for leucine at position 129. Differences in sensitivity to oligomycin were observed. When the isolated F(1)F(0)-ATPase complex was studied and ATPase activity was assessed, that which was isolated from the BHE/Cdb rats was less sensitive to oligomycin inhibition than that which was isolated from the Sprague-Dawley rats. In contrast, when oxygen consumption was measured [oxygen phosphorylation (OXPHOS)] and a dose-response curve was generated with isolated mitochondria from these two strains, there was a shift to the left for the BHE/Cdb rat mitochondria. These mitochondria were more sensitive to oligomycin inhibition of OXPHOS than were mitochondria isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats. The OXPHOS results are consistent with those from human fibroblasts having either a normal or mutated ATPase 6 gene.

Gastric H(+),K(+)-ATPase consists of alpha and beta-subunits. The alpha-subunit is the catalytic subunit, and the beta-subunit is a glycoprotein stabilizing the alpha/beta complex in the membrane as a functional enzyme. There are seven putative N-glycosylation sites on the beta-subunit. In this study, we examined the roles of the carbohydrate chains of the beta-subunit by expressing the alpha-subunit together with the beta-subunit in which one, several, or all of the asparagine residues in the N-glycosylation sites were replaced by glutamine. Removing any one of seven carbohydrate chains from the beta-subunit retained the H(+),K(+)-ATPase activity. The effects of a series of progressive removals of carbohydrate chains on the H(+),K(+)-ATPase activity were cumulative, and removal of all carbohydrate chains resulted in the complete loss of H(+), K(+)-ATPase activity. Removal of any single carbohydrate chain did not affect the alpha/beta assembly; however, little alpha/beta assembly was observed after removal of all the carbohydrate chains from the beta-subunit. In contrast, removal of three carbohydrate chains inhibited the surface delivery of the beta-subunit and the alpha-subunit assembled with the beta-subunit, indicating that the surface delivery mechanism is more dependent on the carbohydrate chains than the expression of the H(+),K(+)-ATPase activity and alpha/beta assembly.

The bromodomain is an approximately 110 amino acid module found in histone acetyltransferases and the ATPase component of certain nucleosome remodelling complexes. We report the crystal structure at 1.9 A resolution of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Gcn5p bromodomain complexed with a peptide corresponding to residues 15-29 of histone H4 acetylated at the zeta-N of lysine 16. We show that this bromodomain preferentially binds to peptides containing an N:-acetyl lysine residue. Only residues 16-19 of the acetylated peptide interact with the bromodomain. The primary interaction is the N:-acetyl lysine binding in a cleft with the specificity provided by the interaction of the amide nitrogen of a conserved asparagine with the oxygen of the acetyl carbonyl group. A network of water-mediated H-bonds with protein main chain carbonyl groups at the base of the cleft contributes to the binding. Additional side chain binding occurs on a shallow depression that is hydrophobic at one end and can accommodate charge interactions at the other. These findings suggest that the Gcn5p bromodomain may discriminate between different acetylated lysine residues depending on the context in which they are displayed.

We report the nucleotide sequence, derived amino acid sequence and expression profile of P-type ATPase 3 (PfATPase3) from Plasmodium falciparum. An open reading frame of 7362 nucleotides, interrupted by a single intron of 168 nt, encoded a protein product of 2394 amino acids with a predicted MW of 282791 Da. Hydropathy analysis of PfATPase3 revealed six amino-terminal and six carboxyl-terminal membrane spanning regions (M1-12) flanking a large hydrophilic domain with a smaller hydrophilic loop between M4 and M5. Based on a phylogenetic comparison of conserved domains present in P-type ATPases from other organisms, PfATPase3 resembled a Type-V ATPase for which the transport affinity is unknown. The PfATPase3 topology was interrupted by four regions, termed 'inserts', unique to malarial P-type ATPases, which were high in asparagine residues and charged amino acids (inserts I1-I4). Inserts I1 and I3 also contained repeated amino acid motifs. The number and composition of repeated amino acid motifs in insert I3 were variable in seven P. falciparum strains tested. PfATPase3 was 80.2% similar to the non-insert portions of P. yoelii ATPase3, although their inserts differed in length and composition. PfATPase3 mRNA was most abundant relative to beta-tubulin during the latter half of the erythrocytic cycle and was also present in gametocytes. Using affinity-purified antibody to a 14 amino acid PfATPase3 epitope, a 260 kDa protein was detected by Western analysis. Based on immunofluorescence, the PfATPase3 protein was located intracellularly in gametocytes and, to a lesser extent, in late erythrocytic stages.

We have identified a missense mutation in the motor domain of the neuronal kinesin heavy chain gene KIF5A, in a family with hereditary spastic paraplegia. The mutation occurs in the family in which the SPG10 locus was originally identified, at an invariant asparagine residue that, when mutated in orthologous kinesin heavy chain motor proteins, prevents stimulation of the motor ATPase by microtubule-binding. Mutation of kinesin orthologues in various species leads to phenotypes resembling hereditary spastic paraplegia. The conventional kinesin motor powers intracellular movement of membranous organelles and other macromolecular cargo from the neuronal cell body to the distal tip of the axon. This finding suggests that the underlying pathology of SPG10 and possibly of other forms of hereditary spastic paraplegia may involve perturbation of neuronal anterograde (or retrograde) axoplasmic flow, leading to axonal degeneration, especially in the longest axons of the central nervous system.

N-linked glycosylation is important for the function, cellular localization, and oligomerization of membrane-bound ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (eNTPDases). NTPDase3 is a prototypical cell membrane-associated eNTPDase, which is equally related and enzymatically intermediate to the other two cell surface membrane NTPDases (NTPDase1 and 2). The protein sequence of NTPDase3 contains seven putative N-glycosylation sites located in the ecto-domain. Only one of these putative glycosylation sites, asparagine 81 in NTPDase3, which is located near apyrase conserved region 1 (ACR1), is invariant in all the cell surface membrane eNTPDases. Using site-directed mutagenesis, mutants were constructed to eliminate this highly conserved N-glycosylation site in NTPDase3. The results indicate that glycosylation at this position is essential for full enzymatic activity, with mutant ATPase activity decreased more than ADPase activity. Enzymatic deglycosylation of this site is shown to be responsible for the inactivation of the wild-type enzyme by treatment with peptide N-glycosidase-F. In addition, glycosylation of this conserved site is necessary for the stabilization/stimulation of nucleotidase activity upon treatment with the lectin concanavalin A. However, lack of glycosylation at this site did not result in large changes in tertiary or quaternary structure, as measured by Cibacron blue binding, chemical cross-linking, and native gel electrophoretic analysis. Since this N-glycosylation site is invariant in cell membrane eNTPDases, it is postulated that glycosylation of this residue near ACR1 is crucial for full enzymatic activity of the cell membrane NTPDases.

The molecular chaperone machine composed of Escherichia coli Hsp70/DnaK and Hsp40/DnaJ binds and releases client proteins in cycles of ATP-dependent protein folding, membrane translocation, disassembly, and degradation. The J-domain of DnaJ simultaneously stimulates ATP hydrolysis in the ATPase domain and capture of the client protein in the peptide-binding domain of DnaK. ATP-dependent binding of DnaJ to DnaK mimics DnaJ-dependent capture of a client protein. The dnaJ mutation that replaces aspartate-35 with asparagine (D35N) in the J-domain causes a defect in binding of DnaJ to DnaK. The dnaK mutation that replaces arginine-167 with alanine (R167A) in the ATPase domain of DnaK(R167A) restores binding of DnaJ(D35N). This genetic interaction was said to be allele-specific because wild-type DnaJ does not bind to DnaK(R167A). The J-domain of DnaJ binds to the ATPase domain of DnaK in its capacity as modulator of DnaK ATPase activity and conformational behavior. Surprisingly, the mutations affect the domainwise interaction in an almost opposite manner. D35N increases the affinity of the J-domain for the ATPase domain. R167A has no affect on the affinity of the ATPase domain for the D35N mutant J-domain, but it reduces the affinity for the wild-type J-domain. Previous amide ((1)H, (15)N) NMR chemical shift perturbation mapping in the J-domain suggested that the ATPase domain binds to J-domain helix II and the flanking loops. In the D35N mutant J-domain, chemical shift perturbations include additional effects at amides in the flexible loop II-III and helix III, which have been proposed to undergo an induced fit conformational change upon binding to DnaK. The integrated magnitudes of chemical shift perturbations for the various J-domain and ATPase domain pairs correlate with the free energies of binding. Thus, the J-domain structure can be described as a dynamic ensemble of conformations that is constrained by binding to the ATPase domain. J-domain helix II bends upon binding to the ATPase domain. D35N increases helix II bending, but less so in combination with R167A in the ATPase domain. Taken together, the results suggest that D35N overstabilizes an induced fit conformational change in loop II-III and helix III that is necessary for the J-domain to couple ATP hydrolysis with a conformational change in DnaK, and R167A destabilizes the induced conformation. Conclusions from this work have implications for understanding mechanisms of protein-protein interaction that are involved in allosteric regulation and genetic suppression.

The RecQ family of DNA helicases has been shown to be important for the maintenance of genomic integrity. Mutations in human RecQ genes lead to genomic instability and cancer. Several RecQ family of helicases contain a putative zinc finger motif of the C4 type at the C terminus that has been identified in the crystalline structure of RecQ helicase from Escherichia coli. To better understand the role of this motif in helicase from E. coli, we constructed a series of single mutations altering the conserved cysteines as well as other highly conserved residues. All of the resulting mutant proteins exhibited a high level of susceptibility to degradation, making functional analysis impossible. In contrast, a double mutant protein in which both cysteine residues Cys397 and Cys400 in the zinc finger motif were replaced by asparagine residues was purified to homogeneity. Slight local conformational changes were detected, but the rest of the mutant protein has a well defined tertiary structure. Furthermore, the mutant enzyme displayed ATP binding affinity similar to the wild-type enzyme but was severely impaired in DNA binding and in subsequent ATPase and helicase activities. These results revealed that the zinc finger binding motif is involved in maintaining the integrity of the whole protein as well as DNA binding. We also showed that the zinc atom is not essential to enzymatic activity.
