P-Glycoprotein is a member of the ABC superfamily of membrane transporters, and functions as an ATP-driven active efflux pump for natural products and chemotherapeutic drugs. Overexpression of P-glycoprotein is a major cause of multidrug resistance in human cancers. Sulfhydryl modification agents are known to inactivate both P-glycoprotein ATPase activity and transport function. In the present study, P-glycoprotein purified from CHRB30 cells was covalently labeled at two conserved Cys residues, one within each of the nucleotide binding domains, using 2-(4-maleimidoanilino)naphthalene-6-sulfonic acid (MIANS). MIANS modification inactivated P-glycoprotein ATPase function, in a concentration-dependent fashion. Increasing concentrations of ATP blocked MIANS labeling with an IC50 of 0.37 mM (similar to the KM for ATP hydrolysis), which suggests that the label is located close to the site of ATP binding within the nucleotide binding domain. A blue shift in the fluorescence spectrum of MIANS bound to P-glycoprotein indicated that the labeled Cys residues are situated in a nonpolar environment. MIANS-labeled P-glycoprotein was still able to bind ATP, as demonstrated by quenching of the fluorescence, with a Kd of 0.46 mM. Addition of a variety of drugs and chemosensitizers to MIANS-labeled P-glycoprotein led to substantial quenching of the probe fluorescence within the nucleotide binding domains. Dissociation constants for drug binding measured by fluorescence quenching were in the range of 0.77 microM for vinblastine to 158 microM for colchicine. Quenching by ATP and drugs was independent and additive, suggesting that each produces a defined change in the protein. The rate of MIANS labeling of Pgp was reduced in the presence of drugs and chemosensitizers, implying that a long-range conformational change arises from drug binding which alters the accessibility of the nucleotide binding domains to MIANS. These results suggest that there is conformational communication between the drug binding site(s) of P-glycoprotein and the ATPase catalytic sites within the nucleotide binding domains.

1. The role of ATP, which is co-released with acetylcholine in synaptic contacts of Torpedo electric organ, was investigated by use of suramin. Suramin [8-(3-benzamido-4-methylbenzamido)naphthalene-1,3,5-trisulphoni c acid], a P2 purinoceptor antagonist, potently inhibited in a non-competitive manner the ecto-apyrase activity associated with plasma membrane isolated from cholinergic nerve terminals of Torpedo electric organ. The Ki was 30 microM and 43 microM for Ca(2+)-ADPase and Ca(2+)-ATPase respectively. 2. In Torpedo electric organ, repetitive stimulation decreased the evoked synaptic current by 51%. However, when fragments of electric organ were incubated with suramin the evoked synaptic current declined by only 14%. Fragments incubated with the selective A1 purinoceptor antagonist, DPCPX, showed 5% synaptic depression. 3. The effects of suramin and DPCPX on synaptic depression were not addictive. Synaptic depression may thus be linked to endogenous adenosine formed by dephosphorylation of released ATP by an ecto-apyrase. The final effector in synaptic depression, adenosine, acts via the A1 purinoceptor. 4. ATP hydrolysis is prevented in the presence of suramin. It slightly increased (20%) the mean amplitude of spontaneous miniature endplate currents. The frequency distribution of the amplitude of spontaneous events was shifted to the right, indicating that ATP, when not degraded, may modulate the activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors activated by the quantal secretion of acetycholine.

One of the major causes of multidrug resistance in human cancers is expression of the P-glycoprotein multidrug transporter, which acts as an efflux pump for a diverse range of natural products, chemotherapeutic drugs, and hydrophobic peptides. In the present study, fluorescence techniques were used to probe the nucleotide binding domains (NBD) of P-glycoprotein. The transporter was labeled at two conserved cysteine residues, one within each NBD, using the thiol-reactive fluor 2-(4'-maleimidylanilino)-naphthalene-6-sulfonic acid (MIANS), and collisional quenching was used to assess solvent accessibility of the bound probe. Acrylamide was a poor quencher, which suggests that MIANS is buried in a relatively inaccessible region of the protein. Iodide ion was a highly effective quencher, whereas Cs+ was not, demonstrating the presence of a positive charge in the region close to the ATP binding site. The fluorescent nucleotide derivative 2'(3')-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-ATP (TNP-ATP) was hydrolysed slowly by P-glycoprotein, with a V(max) approximately 20-fold lower than that for unmodified ATP, and a K(M) of 81 microM. TNP-ATP and TNP-ADP inhibited P-glycoprotein ATPase activity, indicating that they interact with the NBD, whereas TNP-AMP was a very poor inhibitor. When TNP-nucleotides bound to P-glycoprotein, their fluorescence intensity was enhanced in a concentration-dependent manner. Both TNP-ATP and TNP-ADP bound to P-glycoprotein with substantially higher affinity than ATP, with K(d) values of 43 and 36 microM, respectively. Addition of ATP led to only partial displacement of TNP-ATP. Resonance energy transfer was observed between cysteine-bound MIANS and TNP-ATP/ADP, which indicated that the two fluorescent groups are located close to each other within the catalytic site of P-glycoprotein.

The noncovalent fluorescent probe 6-propionyl-2-(dimethylamino)naphthalene (prodan) binds stoichiometrically to myosin subfragment-1 (S-1) without affecting the ATPase and actin-binding properties of S-1. Neither ATP nor actin interferes with the prodan binding. Free prodan exhibits a green emission peak at 520 nm. However, the prodan bound to S-1 and the S-1.ADP complex shows blue emission peaks at 460 and 450 nm, respectively, which allow easy separation of the fluorescence contributions from the free and bound probes. In the S-1.ADP.Pi state, the blue emission peak is further shifted to 445 nm with a large (4.5-fold) fluorescence enhancement. Thus, prodan in the presence of S-1 exhibits predominantly blue fluorescence only during ATP hydrolysis, and so visualizes the ATPase reaction continuously. The initial velocities of the steady state of the Mg2+-, Ca2+-, and actin-activated ATPases can be conveniently calculated from the blue fluorescence changes. The ability of different nucleoside triphosphates (NTP) to enhance the blue fluorescence of prodan follows the order ATP > CTP > UTP > ITP > GTP. This order agrees with those of the extent of hydrophobicity near the ribose of the corresponding nucleoside diphosphates (NDP) trapped to S-1 with orthovanadate (Vi) [Hiratsuka, T. (1984) J. Biochem. (Tokyo) 96, 155-162] and the ability of different NTPs to support force production in muscle fibers [Regnier, M., et al. (1993) Biophys. J. 64, A250]. The rate of formation of the corresponding S-1.NDP.Vi complex also follows this order, whereas the NTPase rate follows the reverse order. These results indicate that nucleotide-induced changes in prodan fluorescence correspond to the nucleotide-induced conformational states of S-1. Thus, the use of prodan in studies of the myosin ATPase offers a new and promising approach not only to monitoring the ATPase reaction but also to investigating the structural changes during ATP hydrolysis.

Myosin forms stable ternary complexes with Mg2+-ADP and phosphate analogues of aluminum fluoride (AlF4-), beryllium fluoride (BeFn), and scandium fluoride (ScFn). These complexes are distinct from each other and may mimic different transient states in the ATPase cycle [Maruta et al. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 7093-7100]. Regions of skeletal muscle myosin containing the highly reactive residues Cys 707 (SH1), Cys 697 (SH2), and lysine 83 (RLR) dramatically alter their local conformation when myosin hydrolyzes ATP, and these changes may reflect formation of a series of transient intermediates during ATP hydrolysis. We used the fluorescent probes 4-fluoro-7-sulfamoylbezofurazan, 2-(4'-maleimidylanilino)naphthalene-6-sulfonic acid, and trinitrobenzene-sulfonate, which bind to SH1, SH2, and RLR, respectively, to examine differences in local conformations within myosin.ADP.phosphate analogue (BeFn, Vi, AlF4-, and ScFn) complexes. It was observed that the ternary complexes had SH1 conformations similar to those seen on S-1 in the presence of ATP. In contrast, local conformations in the SH2 and RLR regions of S-1.ADP.BeFn were different from those in corresponding regions of S-1.ADP.AlF4- or ScFn. These results suggest that SH1 and SH2 move distinctly during ATP hydrolysis and that the local conformations of the SH2 and RLR regions more sensitively reflect different transient states.

Interveinal strips (10 x 1.5 mm) excised from growing tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv Xanthi) leaves have an auxin-specific, epinastic growth response that is developmentally regulated and is not the result of ethylene induction (C.P. Keller, E. Van Volkenburgh [1997] Plant Physiol 113: 603-610). We report here that auxin (10 &mgr;M naphthalene acetic acid) treatment of strips does not result in plasma membrane hyperpolarization or detectable proton efflux. This result is in contrast to the expected responses elicited by 1 &mgr;M fusicoccin (FC) treatment, which in other systems mimics auxin growth promotion through stimulation of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase and resultant acid wall loosening; FC produced both hyperpolarization and proton efflux in leaf strips. FC-induced growth was much more inhibited by a strong neutral buffer than was auxin-induced growth. Measurements of the osmotic concentration of strips suggested that osmotic adjustment plays no role in the auxin-induced growth response. Although cell wall loosening of some form appears to be involved, taken together, our results suggest that auxin-induced growth stimulation of tobacco leaf strips results primarily from a mechanism not involving acid growth.

The conformational properties of the molecular chaperone GroEL in the presence of ATP, its non-hydrolyzable analog 5'-adenylimidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP), and ADP have been analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infra-red (FT-IR) and fluorescence spectroscopy. Nucleotide binding to one ring promotes a decrease in the Tm value of the GroEL thermal transition that is reversed when both rings are filled with nucleotide, indicating that the sequential occupation of the two protein rings by these nucleotides has different effects on the GroEL thermal denaturation process. In addition, ATP induces a conformational change in GroEL characterized by (a) the appearance of a reversible low temperature endotherm in the DSC profiles of the protein, and (b) an enhanced binding of the hydrophobic probe 8-anilino-naphthalene-1-sulfonate (ANS), which strictly depends on ATP hydrolysis. The similar sensitivity to K+ of the temperature range where activation of the GroEL ATPase activity, the low temperature endotherm, and the increase of the ANS fluorescence are abserved strongly indicates the existence of a conformational state of GroEL during ATP hydrolysis, different from that generated on ADP or AMP-PNP binding. To achieve this intermediate conformation, GroEL mainly modifies its tertiary and quaternary structures, leading to an increased exposure of hydrophobic surfaces, with minor rearrangements of its secondary structure.

The delipidated sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-ATPase was reconstituted into proteoliposomes containing different phospholipids. The result demonstrated the necessity of phosphatidylcholine (PC) for optimal ATPase activity and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) for the optimal calcium transport activity. Fluorescence intensity of Fluorescein 5-isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled enzyme at Lys515 as well as the measurement of the distance between 5-((2-[(iodoacetyl) amino] ethyl) amino)naphthalene-1-sulphonic acid (IAEDANS) label sites (Cys674/670) and Pr3+ demonstrated a conformational change of cytoplasmic domain, consequently, leading to the variation of the enzyme function with the proteoliposomes composition. Both the intrinsic fluorescence of Trp and its dynamic quenching by HB decreased with increasing PE content, revealing the conformational change of transmembrane domain. Time-resolved fluorescence study characterized three classes of Trp residues, which showed distinctive variation with the change in phospholipid composition. The phospholipid headgroup size caused the conformational change of SR Ca(2+)-ATPase, subsequent the ATPase activity and Ca2+ uptake.

The guanidine-hydrochloride (Gdn-HCl) induced unfolding and refolding characteristics of the co-chaperonin GroES from Escherichia coli, a homoheptamer of subunit molecular mass 10,000 Da, were studied by using intrinsic fluorescence, 1-anilino-8-naphthalene sulfonate (ANS) binding, and size-exclusion HPLC. When monitored by tyrosine fluorescence, the unfolding reaction of GroES consisted of a single transition, with a transition midpoint at around 1.0 M Gdn-HCl. Interestingly, however, ANS binding and size-exclusion HPLC experiments strongly suggested the existence of an intermediate state in the transition. In order to confirm the existence of an intermediate state between the native heptameric and unfolded monomeric states, a tryptophan residue was introduced into the interface of GroES subunits as a fluorescent probe. The unfolding reaction of GroES I48W as monitored by tryptophyl fluorescence showed a single transition curve with a transition midpoint at 0.5 M Gdn-HCl. This unfolding transition curve as well as the refolding kinetics were dependent on the concentration of GroES protein. CD spectrum and size-exclusion HPLC experiments demonstrated that the intermediates assumed a partially folded conformation at around 0.5 M Gdn-HCl. The refolding of GroES protein from 3 M Gdn-HCl was probed functionally by measuring the extent of inhibition of GroEL ATPase activity and the enhancement of lactate dehydrogenase refolding yields in the presence of GroEL and ADP. These results clearly demonstrated that the GroES heptamer first dissociated to monomers and then unfolded completely upon increasing the concentration of Gdn-HCl, and that both transitions were reversible. From the thermodynamic analysis of the dissociation reaction, it was found that the partially folded monomer was only marginally stable and that the stability of GroES protein is governed mostly by the association of the subunits.

2-[4'-Maleimidylanilino]naphthalene 6-sulfonic acid (MIANS) irreversibly inactivates Na,K-ATPase in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Inactivation is prevented by 3 mM ATP or low K(+) (<1 mM); the protective effect K(+) is reversed at higher concentrations. This biphasic effect was also observed with K(+) congeners. In contrast, Na(+) ions did not protect. MIANS inactivation disrupted high affinity ATP binding. Tryptic fragments of MIANS-labeled protein were analyzed by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography. ATP clearly protected one major labeled peptide peak. This observation was confirmed by separation of tryptic peptides in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealing a single fluorescently-labeled peptide of approximately 5 kDa. N-terminal amino acid sequencing identified the peptide (V(545)LGFCH...). This hydrophobic peptide contains only two Cys residues in all sodium pump alpha-subunit sequences and is found in the major cytoplasmic loop between M4 and M5, a region previously associated with ATP binding. Subsequent digestion of the tryptic peptide with V8 protease and N-terminal amino acid sequencing identified the modified residue as Cys(577). The cation-dependent change in reactivity of Cys(577) implies structural alterations in the ATP-binding domain following cation binding and occlusion in the intramembrane domain of Na,K-ATPase and expands our knowledge of the extent to which cation binding and occlusion are sensed in the ATP hydrolysis domain.
