Rat CD39, a membrane-bound ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase that hydrolyzes extracellular nucleoside tri- and diphosphates, has seven potential N-glycosylation sites at asparagine residues 73, 226, 291, 333, 375, 429, and 458. To determine their roles in the structure and function of CD39, we mutated these sites individually or in combination by replacing asparagine with serine or glutamine and analyzed the surface expression and the enzymatic activity of the mutants. The results indicate that rat CD39 can be glycosylated at all seven sites when expressed in COS7 cells. Glycosylation sites 73 at the N terminus, 333 in the middle, and 429 and 458 at the C terminus were principally required for cell surface appearance of enzymatically active CD39. Whereas deletion of these sites individually had modest effects on surface ATPase activity, some double deletions of these sites had major effects on both surface activity and expression. The importance of these N-glycosylation sites is recognizable in other members of the ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase family.

The human ATP-binding cassette half-transporter ABCG2 is a 72 kDa plasma membrane protein that can confer multidrug resistance to cells in culture when overexpressed. Both transiently and stably expressed ABCG2 are glycosylated, and treatment with peptide N-glycosidase F reduces the apparent molecular mass on SDS-PAGE gels to approximately 60 kDa. Sequence analysis revealed three potential N-linked glycosylation sites in human ABCG2 at amino acids 418, 557, and 596. Site-directed mutagenesis experiments, in which each Asn was changed to Gln independently, revealed that only asparagine 596 is N-linked glycosylated. These data provide the first direct identification of the modified residue in ABCG2 and evidence for the localization of loop 5 to the extracellular space, previously only predicted from hydropathy analysis. Immunoblot and pulse-chase analyses revealed that the glycosylation-deficient ABCG2 (N596Q) variant and the glycosylated parent transporter are expressed equivalently at steady state and have similar half-lives. Cell surface analysis of ABCG2 expression showed comparable amounts of the N596Q variant present at the plasma membrane compared to the glycosylated ABCG2 protein. The ABCG2 (N596Q) variant is also functional, demonstrating rhodamine 123 transport in intact cells comparable to that in cells expressing glycosylated ABCG2. Furthermore, in crude membrane preparations, neither the basal nor the prazosin-stimulated ( approximately 2-fold) ATPase activities of ABCG2 (N596Q) were affected compared to glycosylated ABCG2. Although subtle defects in transporter trafficking and function may exist, these data taken together suggest that N-glycosylation at arginine 596 is not essential for the expression, trafficking to the plasma membrane, or the overall function of ABCG2.

Class III adenylyl cyclases usually possess six highly conserved catalytic residues. Deviations in these canonical amino acids are observed in several putative adenylyl cyclase genes as apparent in several bacterial genomes. This suggests that a variety of catalytic mechanisms may actually exist. The gene Rv0386 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis codes for an adenylyl cyclase catalytic domain fused to an AAA-ATPase and a helix-turn-helix DNA-binding domain. In Rv0386, the standard substrate, adenine-defining lysine-aspartate couple is replaced by glutamine-asparagine. The recombinant adenylyl cyclase domain was active with a V(max) of 8 nmol cAMP.mg(-1).min(-1). Unusual for adenylyl cyclases, Rv0386 displayed 20% guanylyl cyclase side-activity with GTP as a substrate. Mutation of the glutamine-asparagine pair either to alanine residues or to the canonical lysine-aspartate consensus abolished activity. This argues for a novel mechanism of substrate selection which depends on two non-canonical residues. Data from individual and coordinated point mutations suggest a model for purine definition based on an amide switch related to that previously identified in cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases.

Babesia gibsoni multiplies well in canine red blood cells (RBCs) containing high concentrations of potassium (HK), reduced glutathione, and free amino acids as a result of an inherited high Na,K-ATPase activity, i.e., HK RBCs. To determine the role of Na,K-ATPase in the multiplication of B. gibsoni, the effect of ouabain on the proliferation of the parasites in HK RBCs was investigated. To determine the direct effect of ouabain on the parasites, the proliferation of the parasites in normal canine RBCs containing low potassium (LK) and high sodium concentrations, i.e., LK RBCs, which completely lack Na,K-ATPase activity, was observed. Ouabain at 0.1 mM significantly suppressed the multiplication of B. gibsoni in HK RBCs in vitro, whereas it had no effect on the parasites in LK RBCs. The results suggest that the multiplication of B. gibsoni in HK RBCs depends mainly on the presence of Na,K-ATPase in the cells. Therefore, the effects of ouabain on the intracellular cation and free amino acid composition of the HK RBCs were examined. In HK RBCs incubated with ouabain, a marked decrease in the concentration of potassium and an increase in sodium were observed, together with a decrease in the number of parasitized cells. These results suggest that the intracellular cation composition maintained by Na,K-ATPase might be advantageous to the parasites. Moreover, the concentrations of some free amino acids, i.e., asparagine, aspartate, glutamate, glutamine, glycine, and histidine, were markedly decreased in HK RBCs incubated with ouabain. Decreased concentrations of the free amino acids induced by inhibition of Na,K-ATPase seemed to affect the multiplication of B. gibsoni in HK RBCs. Based on these results, it is clear that the high Na,K-ATPase activity in HK RBCs contributes to the proliferation of B. gibsoni by maintaining high potassium and low sodium concentrations, as well as high concentrations of some free amino acids in the cells.

The literature suggests that when Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase has reduced access to its glycosphingolipid cofactor sulfogalactosyl ceramide (SGC), it is converted to a Na(+) uniporter. We recently showed that such segregation can occur within a single membrane when Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase is excluded from membrane microdomains or 'lipid rafts' enriched in SGC (D. Lingwood, G. Harauz, J.S. Ballantyne, J. Biol. Chem. 280, 36545-36550). Specifically we demonstrated that Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase localizes to SGC-enriched rafts in the gill basolateral membrane (BLM) of rainbow trout exposed to seawater (SW) but not freshwater (FW). We therefore proposed that since the freshwater gill Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase was separated from BLM SGC it should also transport Na(+) only, suggesting a new role for the pump in this epithelium. In this paper we discuss the biochemical evidence for SGC-based modulation of transport stoichiometry and highlight how a unique asparagine-lysine substitution in the FW pump isoform and FW gill transport energetics gear the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase to perform Na(+) uniport.

The catalytic cysteine of certain members of the peroxiredoxin (Prx) family can be hyperoxidized to cysteinesulfinic acid during reduction of peroxides. Sulfiredoxin is responsible for the ATP-dependent reduction of cysteinesulfinic acid (SO2H) of hyperoxidized Prx. Here we report the NMR solution structure of human sulfiredoxin (hSrx), both with and without bound ATP, and we model the complex of ATP-bound hSrx with Prx. Binding ATP causes only small changes in the NMR structure of hSrx, and the bound ATP conformation is quite similar to that seen for the previously reported X-ray structure of the ADP-hSrx complex. Although hSrx binds ATP, it does not catalyze hydrolysis by itself and has no catalytic acid residue typical of most ATPase and kinase family proteins. For modeling the complex, the ATP-bound hSrx was docked to hyperoxidized Prx II using EMAP of CHARMM. In the model complex, Asn186 of Prx II (Asp187 of Prx I) is in contact with the hSrx-bound ATP beta- and gamma-phosphate groups. Asp187 of Prx I was mutated to alanine and asparagine, and binding and activity of the mutants with hSrx were compared to those of the wild type. For the D187N mutant, both binding and hydrolysis and reduction activities were comparable to those of the wild type, whereas for D187A, binding was unimpaired but ATP hydrolysis and reduction did not occur. The modeling and mutagenesis analyses strongly implicate Asp187 of Prx I as the catalytic residue responsible for ATP hydrolysis in the cysteinesulfinic acid reduction of Prx by hSrx.

AAA+ proteins (ATPases associated with various cellular activities) contribute to many cellular processes and typically function as higher order oligomers permitting the coordination of nucleotide hydrolysis for functional output, which leads to substrate remodeling. The precise mechanisms that enable the relay of nucleotide hydrolysis to their specific functional outputs are largely unknown. Here we use PspF, a specialized AAA+ protein required for enhancer-dependent transcription activation in Escherichia coli, as a model system to address this question. We demonstrate that a conserved asparagine is involved in internal organization of the oligomeric ring, regulation of ATPase activity by "trans" factors, and optimizing substrate remodeling. We provide evidence that the spatial relationship between the asparagine residue and the Walker B motif is one key element in the conformational signaling pathway that leads to substrate remodeling. Such functional organization most likely applies to other AAA+ proteins, including Ltag (simian virus 40), Rep40 (Adeno-associated virus-2), and p97 (Mus musculus) in which the asparagine to Walker B motif relationship is conserved.

YscU, a component of the Yersinia type III secretion machine, promotes auto-cleavage at asparagine 263 (N263). Mutants with an alanine substitution at yscU codon 263 displayed secretion defects for some substrates (LcrV, YopB and YopD); however, transport of effector proteins into host cells (YopE, YopH, YopM) continued to occur. Two yscU mutations were isolated that, unlike N263A, completely abolished type III secretion; YscU(G127D) promoted auto-cleavage at N263, whereas YscU(G270N) did not. When fused to glutathione S-transferase (Gst), the YscU C-terminal cytoplasmic domain promoted auto-cleavage and Gst-YscU(C) also exerted a dominant-negative phenotype by blocking type III secretion. Gst-YscU(C/N263A) caused a similar blockade and Gst-YscU(C/G270N) reduced secretion. Gst-YscU(C) and Gst-YscU(C/N263A) bound YscL, the regulator of the ATPase YscN, whereas Gst-YscU(C/G270N) did not. When isolated from Yersinia, Gst-YscU(C) and Gst-YscU(C/N263A) associated with YscK-YscL-YscQ; however, Gst-YscU(C/G270N) interacted predominantly with the machine component YscO, but not with YscK-YscL-YscQ. A model is proposed whereby YscU auto-cleavage promotes interaction with YscL and recruitment of ATPase complexes that initiate type III secretion.

We have identified the Schizosaccharomyces pombe SPBC3E7.06c gene (fnx2(+)) from a homology search with the fnx1(+) gene involving in G(0) arrest upon nitrogen starvation. Green fluorescent protein-fused Fnx1p and Fnx2p localized exclusively to the vacuolar membrane. Uptake of histidine or isoleucine by S. pombe cells was inhibited by concanamycin A, a specific inhibitor of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase. Amino acid uptake was also defective in the vacuolar ATPase mutant, suggesting that vacuolar compartmentalization is critical for amino acid uptake by whole cells. In both Deltafnx1 and Deltafnx2 mutant cells, uptake of lysine, isoleucine or asparagine was impaired. These results suggest that fnx1(+) and fnx2(+) are involved in vacuolar amino acid uptake in S. pombe.

The ArsA ATPase is the catalytic subunit of the arsenite-translocating ArsAB pump that is responsible for resistance to arsenicals and antimonials in Escherichia coli. ATPase activity is activated by either arsenite or antimonite. ArsA is composed of two homologous halves A1 and A2, each containing a nucleotide binding domain, and a single metalloid binding or activation domain is located at the interface of the two halves of the protein. The metalloid binding domain is connected to the two nucleotide binding domains through two DTAPTGH sequences, one in A1 and the other in A2. The DTAPTGH sequences are proposed to be involved in information communication between the metal and catalytic sites. The roles of Asp142 in A1 D 142TAPTGH sequence, and Asp447 in A2 D 447TAPTGH sequence was investigated after altering the aspartates individually to alanine, asparagine, and glutamate by site-directed mutagenesis. Asp142 mutants were sensitive to As(III) to varying degrees, whereas the Asp447 mutants showed the same resistance phenotype as the wild type. Each altered protein exhibited varying levels of both basal and metalloid-stimulated activity, indicating that neither Asp142 nor Asp447 is essential for catalysis. Biochemical characterization of the altered proteins imply that Asp142 is involved in Mg (2+) binding and also plays a role in signal transduction between the catalytic and activation domains. In contrast, Asp447 is not nearly as critical for Mg (2+) binding as Asp142 but appears to be in communication between the metal and catalytic sites. Taken together, the results indicate that Asp142 and Asp447, located on the A1 and A2 halves of the protein, have different roles in ArsA catalysis, consistent with our proposal that these two halves are functionally nonequivalent.
