Lead, zinc and copper were administered i.p singly or in combination as acetate salts to rats for 14 consecutive days. It was observed that lead induced drastic changes, copper induced moderate changes but zinc did not cause any significant change in the cholesterol and phospholipid content, hexose, hexosamine and sialic acid levels and activities of the erythrocyte membrane enzymes--acetylcholinesterase (AChE), NADH dehydrogenase and Na(+)-K+ ATPase. In the combined metal treatment the presence of zinc considerably reduced the changes induced by lead and copper.

A cyanobacterium, Synechococcus species PCC7942, has a gene encoding a copper-transporting P-type ATPase, which is located in the thylakoid membrane. At the 5'-upstream of this ATPase gene, we identified another gene, which was supposed to be implicated in a copper-transport process. This novel gene was found to encode a putative pore-forming membrane protein that belongs to a growing family of homologous intrinsic membrane proteins (the MIP family of proteins), which include the major intrinsic protein (MIP) from animal lens fibre junction membranes, the tonoplast intrinsic protein (TIP) from vacuolar membranes of higher plants, and the Escherichia coli glycerol facilitator (GlpF) in the cytoplasmic membrane. The deduced product, named SmpX (Synechococcus membrane protein), is highly homologous throughout its entire sequence to these intrinsic membrane proteins which were postulated to be pore-forming proteins involved in a variety of transport processes. The primary amino acid sequence of SmpX shares all properties characteristic for members of the MIP family. SmpX is more similar to the eukaryotic members (e.g., nodulin-26 from soybean) than to the prokaryotic ones.

The P-type ATPase, CopB, of Enterococcus hirae is required for the copper resistance displayed by this organism and thus was postulated to be a copper pump. Using 64Cu+ and 110mAg+, we here show ATP-driven copper and silver accumulation catalyzed by CopB in native inside-out membrane vesicles of E. hirae. CopB ATPase exhibited an apparent Km for Cu+ and Ag+ of 1 microM and for ATP of 10 microM. Transport was maximal at pH 6 and had an apparent Vmax of 0.07 nmol.min-1.mg-1 for both copper and silver transport. Vanadate displayed a biphasic effect on transport: maximal inhibition was observed at 40 microM vanadate for copper transport and 60 microM for silver transport, respectively. At higher vanadate concentrations, these inhibitions were reversed. The CopB ATPase of E. hirae is thus a pump for the extrusion of monovalent copper and silver ions, with copper probably being the natural substrate.

1. This paper identifies and characterizes an ATP-dependent copper transport system in endoplasmic reticulum vesicles isolated from male rat liver. 2. The transporter has a Km of 2.5 +/- 1.2 mumol 1(-1) copper glutathione (CuGSH) and a Vmax of 4.5 +/- 1.3 nmol (mg protein)-1 (5 min)-1 for copper. 3. At a copper concentration of 2 mumol l-1, ATP dependence reaches saturation, with a Km for ATP of 4.7 +/- 2.4 mmol l-1 and a Vmax of 2.8 +/- 0.6 nmol (mg protein)-1 (5 min)-1. 4. The uptake is dependent on ATP hydrolysis, since a low energy analogue of ATP, adenosine 5'-[beta-gamma-methylene] triphosphate tetralithium (AMP.PCP), has no effect on copper uptake. 5. The transporter is a P-type ATPase, since vanadate inhibits uptake with a high degree of specificity (100 mumol l-1 inhibits uptake by 50% at a copper concentration of 2 mumol l-1).

A 2.7 kb fragment of Helicobacter pylori UA802 chromosomal DNA was cloned and sequenced. Three open reading frames (designated ORF1, ORF2 and ORF3, respectively) were predicted from the DNA sequence, of which ORF1 and ORF2 appeared to be located within the same operon. The deduced 611-amino-acid sequence of ORF1, a P-type ATPase (designated hpCopA), had striking homology (29-38%) with several bacterial P-type ATPase and contained the potential functional domains conserved in P-type ATPases from various sources ranging from bacterial to human. A protein of 66 amino acids (designated hpCopP) encoded by ORF2 shared extensive sequence similarity with MerP, a periplasmic mercuric ion-transporting protein, and contains the heavy metal-binding motif. Disruption of ORF1 with a chloramphenicol-resistance cassette (CAT) rendered the H. pylori mutants more susceptible to cupric ion than their parental strains, whereas there is no significant alteration of susceptibility to Ni2+, Cd2d+ and Hg2+ between the mutants and the parental strains. The results obtained indicate that ORF1 and ORF2 comprise a cation-transporting system which is associated with copper export out of the H. pylori cells.

We have sequenced a gene on the right arm near the telomere of chromosome II of Saccharomyces cerevisiae which codes for a putative P-type cation-transporting ATPase (PCA1). The gene codes for a 1216 amino acids protein. The PCA1 gene expresses a 3.5 kb message in both haploid and diploid cells when grown in glucose-based rich medium YPD. The gene product is most similar at the C-terminal region to a human copper-transporting ATPase and Enterococcus hirae copper-transporting ATPases and also an N-terminal dithiol region that was proposed to be a 'metal-binding motif'. Cells lacking PCA1 display no obvious phenotype when tested under standard conditions: whereas they cease growth much earlier than the isogenic wild-type cells in a minimal medium with high copper concentration. Overexpression of PCA1 under GAL1/10 promoter in yeast cells causes poor growth. We also show that yeast strains carrying PCA1 in multiple copies grow slower than isogenic wild-type strains in a minimal synthetic medium containing 0.3 mM-CuSO4.

Wilson disease is a disorder of copper transport, resulting in neurological and hepatic damage due to copper toxicity. We have recently identified > 20 mutations in the copper-transporting ATPase defective in this disease. Given the difficulties of searching for mutations in a gene spanning > 80 kb of genomic DNA, haplotype data are important as a guide to mutation detection. Here we examine the haplotypes associated with specific mutations. We have extended previous studies of DNA haplotypes of dinucleotide-repeat polymorphisms (CA repeats) in the Wilson disease region to include an additional marker, in 58 families. These haplotypes, combining three markers (D13S314, D13S316, and D13S301), are usually specific for each different mutation, even though highly polymorphic CA repeat markers have been used. Haplotypes, as well as their accompanying mutations, differ between populations. In the patients whom we have studied, the haplotype data indicate that as many as 20 mutations may still be unidentified. The use of the haplotypes that we have identified provides an important guide for the identification of known mutations and can facilitate future mutation searches.

Studying metal ion resistance gives us important insights into environmental processes and provides an understanding of basic living processes. This review concentrates on bacterial efflux systems for inorganic metal cations and anions, which have generally been found as resistance systems from bacteria isolated from metal-polluted environments. The protein products of the genes involved are sometimes prototypes of new families of proteins or of important new branches of known families. Sometimes, a group of related proteins (and presumedly the underlying physiological function) has still to be defined. For example, the efflux of the inorganic metal anion arsenite is mediated by a membrane protein which functions alone in Gram-positive bacteria, but which requires an additional ATPase subunit in some Gram-negative bacteria. Resistance to Cd2+ and Zn2+ in Gram-positive bacteria is the result of a P-type efflux ATPase which is related to the copper transport P-type ATPases of bacteria and humans (defective in the human hereditary diseases Menkes' syndrome and Wilson's disease). In contrast, resistance to Zn2+, Ni2+, Co2+ and Cd2+ in Gram-negative bacteria is based on the action of proton-cation antiporters, members of a newly-recognized protein family that has been implicated in diverse functions such as metal resistance/nodulation of legumes/cell division (therefore, the family is called RND). Another new protein family, named CDF for 'cation diffusion facilitator' has as prototype the protein CzcD, which is a regulatory component of a cobalt-zinc-cadmium resistance determinant in the Gram-negative bacterium Alcaligenes eutrophus. A family for the ChrA chromate resistance system in Gram-negative bacteria has still to be defined.

We have isolated, sequenced, mapped and disrupted a gene, CCC2, from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This gene displays non-allelic complementation of the Ca(2+)-sensitive phenotype conferred by the csg1 mutation. Analysis of the CCC2p amino acid sequence reveals that it encodes a member of the P-type ATPase family and is most similar to a subfamily thought to consist of Cu2+ transporters, including the human genes that mutate to cause Wilson disease and Menkes disease. The ability of this gene, in two or more copies, to reverse the csg1 defect suggests that Ca(2+)-induced death of csg1 mutant cells is related to Cu2+ metabolism. Cells without CCC2 require increased Cu2+ concentrations for growth. Therefore CCC2p may function to provide Cu2+ to a cellular compartment rather than in removal of excess Cu2+.

Menkes disease and Wilson disease are human disorders of copper metabolism. It has recently been shown that both are due to mutations in P-type ATPase copper transport molecules. Related heavy metal transporting ATPases have been described in several strains of bacteria. In an effort to isolate other mammalian metal transporters, we screened a human small intestine library with probes homologous to conserved sequences in the known proteins. Two novel cDNAs were isolated, which encode new members of this family. Surprisingly, they were both of bacterial origin, most likely derived from E. coli sequences transduced during library construction.
