Combined mutation of "catalytic carboxylates" in both nucleotide binding domains (NBDs) of P-glycoprotein generates a conformation capable of tight binding of 8-azido-ADP (Sauna, Z. E., Müller, M., Peng, X. H., and Ambudkar, S. V. (2002) Biochemistry 41, 13989-14000). Here we characterized this conformation using pure mouse MDR3 P-glycoprotein and natural MgATP and MgADP. Mutants E552A/E1197A, E552Q/E1197Q, E552D/E1197D, and E552K/E1197K had low but real ATPase activity in the order Ala > Gln > Asp > Lys, emphasizing the requirement for Glu stereochemistry. Mutant E552A/E1197A bound MgATP and MgADP (1 mol/mol) with K(d) 9.2 and 92 microm, showed strong temperature sensitivity of MgATP binding and equal dissociation rates for MgATP and MgADP. With MgATP as the added ligand, 80% of bound nucleotide was in the form of ATP. None of these parameters was vanadate-sensitive. The other mutants showed lower stoichiometry of MgATP and MgADP binding, in the order Ala > Gln > Asp > Lys. We conclude that the E552A/E1197A mutation arrests the enzyme in a conformation, likely a stabilized NBD dimer, which occludes nucleotide, shows preferential binding of ATP, does not progress to a normal vanadate-sensitive transition state, but hydrolyzes ATP and releases ADP slowly. Impairment of turnover is primarily due to inability to form the normal transition state rather than to slow ADP release. The Gln, Asp, and Lys mutants are less effective at stabilizing the occluded nucleotide, putative dimeric NBD, conformation. We envisage that in wild-type the occluded nucleotide conformation occurs transiently after MgATP binds to both NBDs with associated dimerization, and before progression to the transition state. 相似文献

We review recent work on E552A/E1197A P-glycoprotein. This ATPase-defective mutant occludes MgATP tightly with maximal 1/1
stoichiometry in drug-sensitive fashion. The occluded nucleotide conformation appears to represent a transient, asymmetric,
catalytic intermediate. We present a model for catalysis incorporating nucleotide binding domain (NBD) dimerization and the
occluded nucleotide conformation, and we speculate as to how catalysis seen in P-glycoprotein might be harmonized with symmetrical
dimer structures of isolated NBDs. 相似文献

It is known from earlier work that two conserved Glu residues, designated "catalytic carboxylates," are critical for function in P-glycoprotein (Pgp). Here the role of these residues (Glu-552 and Glu-1197 in mouse MDR3 Pgp) was studied further. Mutation E552Q or E1197Q reduced Pgp-ATPase to low but still measurable rates. Two explanations previously offered for effects of these mutations, namely that ADP release is slowed or that a second (drug site-resetting) round of ATP hydrolysis is blocked, were evaluated and appeared unsatisfactory. Thus the study was extended to include E552A, -D, and -K and E1197A, -D, and -K mutants. All reduced ATPase to similar low but measurable rates. Orthovanadate-trapping experiments showed that mutation to Gln, Ala, Asp, or Lys altered characteristics of the transition state but did not eliminate its formation in contrast e.g. with mutation of the analogous catalytic Glu in F1-ATPase. Retention of ATP as well as ADP was seen in Ala, Asp, and Lys mutants. Mutation E552A in nucleotide binding domain 1 (NBD1) was combined with mutation S528A or S1173A in the LSGGQ sequence of NBD1 or NBD2, respectively. Synergistic effects were seen. E552A/S1173A had extremely low turnover rate for ATPase, while E552A/S528A showed zero or close to zero ATPase. Both showed orthovanadate-independent retention of ATP and ADP. We propose that mutations of the catalytic Glu residues interfere with formation and characteristics of a closed conformation, involving an interdigitated NBD dimer interface, which normally occurs immediately following ATP binding and progresses to the transition state. 相似文献

Structural and biochemical studies of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters suggest that an ATP-driven dimerization of the nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) is an important reaction intermediate of the transport cycle. Moreover, an asymmetric occlusion of ATP at one of the two ATP sites of P-glycoprotein (Pgp) may follow the formation of the symmetric dimer. It has also been postulated that ADP drives the dissociation of the dimer. In this study, we show that the E.S conformation of Pgp (previously demonstrated in the E556Q/E1201Q mutant Pgp) can be obtained with the wild-type protein by use of the nonhydrolyzable ATP analogue ATP-gamma-S. ATP-gamma-S is occluded into the Pgp NBDs at 34 degrees C but not at 4 degrees C, whereas ATP is not occluded at either temperature. Using purified Pgp incorporated into proteoliposomes and ATP-gamma-35S, we demonstrate that the occlusion of ATP-gamma-35S has an Eact of 60 kJ/mol and the stoichiometry of ATP-gamma-35S:Pgp is 1:1 (mol/mol). Additionally, in the conserved Walker B mutant (E556Q/E1201Q) of Pgp, we find occlusion of the nucleoside triphosphate but not the nucleoside diphosphate. Furthermore, Pgp in the occluded nucleotide conformation has reduced affinity for transport substrates. These data provide evidence for the ATP-driven dimerization and ADP-driven dissociation of the NBDs, and although two ATP molecules may initiate dimerization, only one is driven to an occluded pre-hydrolysis intermediate state. Thus, in a full-length ABC transporter like Pgp, it is unlikely that there is complete association and disassociation of NBDs and the occluded nucleotide conformation at one of the NBDs provides the power-stroke at the transport-substrate site. 相似文献

The invariant carboxylate residue which follows the Walker B motif (hyd(4)DE/D) in the nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) of ATP-binding cassette transporters is thought to be involved in the hydrolysis of the gamma-phosphate of MgATP, either by activating the attacking water molecule or by promoting substrate-assisted catalysis. In Abcb1a, this invariant carboxylate residue corresponds to E552 in NBD1 and E1197 in NBD2. To further characterize the role of these residues in catalysis, we created in Abcb1a the single-site mutants E552D, N and A in NBD1, and E1197D, N and A in NBD2, as well as the double-mutant E552Q/E1197Q. In addition, we created mutants in which the Walker A K --> R mutation known to abolish ATPase activity was introduced in the non-mutant NBD of E552Q and E1197Q. ATPase activity, binding affinity and trapping properties were tested for each Abcb1a variant. The results suggest that the length of the invariant carboxylate residue is important for the catalytic activity, whereas the charge of the side chain is critical for full turnover to occur. Moreover, in the double-mutants where the K --> R mutation is introduced in the 'wild-type' NBD of the E --> Q mutants, single-site turnover is observed, especially when NBD2 can undergo gamma-P(i) cleavage. The results further support the idea that the NBDs are not symmetric and suggest that the invariant carboxylates are involved both in NBD-NBD communication and transition-state formation through orientation of the linchpin residue. 相似文献

In the nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) of ABC transporters, such as mouse Mdr3 P-glycoprotein (P-gp), an invariant carboxylate residue (E552 in NBD1; E1197 in NBD2) immediately follows the Walker B motif (hyd(4)DE/D). Removal of the negative charge in mutants E552Q and E1197Q abolishes drug-stimulated ATPase activity measured by P(i) release. Surprisingly, drug-stimulated trapping of 8-azido-[alpha-(32)P]ATP is still observed in the mutants in both the presence and absence of the transition-state analogue vanadate (V(i)), and ADP can be recovered from the trapped enzymes. The E552Q and E1197Q mutants show characteristics similar to those of the wild-type (WT) enzyme with respect to 8-azido-[alpha-(32)P]ATP binding and 8-azido-[alpha-(32)P]nucleotide trapping, with the latter being both Mg(2+) and temperature dependent. Importantly, drug-stimulated nucleotide trapping in E552Q is stimulated by V(i) and resembles the WT enzyme, while it is almost completely V(i) insensitive in E1197Q. Similar nucleotide trapping properties are observed when aluminum fluoride or beryllium fluoride is used as an alternate transition-state analogue. Partial proteolytic cleavage of photolabeled enzymes indicates that, in the absence of V(i), nucleotide trapping occurs exclusively at the mutant NBD, whereas in the presence of V(i), nucleotide trapping occurs at both NBDs. Together, these results suggest that there is single-site turnover occurring in the E552Q and E1197Q mutants and that ADP release from the mutant site, or another catalytic step, is impaired in these mutants. Furthermore, our results support a model in which the two NBDs of P-gp are not functionally equivalent. 相似文献

The nucleotide binding domains (NBDs) are the energy supplying subunits of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins. They power transport by binding and hydrolyzing ATP. Tracing the pathway between different conformational states of the NBDs during ATP binding, hydrolysis, and release has, however, proven difficult. We have used molecular dynamics simulations to study the ATP-driven association of the NBDs of the maltose ABC transporter, MalK, based on the crystal structures of its open and semiopen dimers. When MgATP was introduced into the binding pockets, the semiopen dimer transitioned to a closed conformation, whereas the open dimer evolved to a semiopen state. In the absence of docked MgATP, however, the twin NBDs of both the open and semiopen starting configurations drifted further apart. Both the presence of MgATP and direct cross-interface protein-protein hydrogen bonds, primarily involving the D-loop, quite likely play a key role in initiating closure. The simulations of the MgATP-docked semiopen form indicate that completion of closure is driven mainly by cross-interface contacts between the gamma-phosphate of ATP and residues in the signature motif. Our simulations also give insight into possible interactions of MalK with the regulatory proteins MalT and enzyme IIA(glc). 相似文献

Mutagenesis was used to investigate the functional role of six pairs of aspartate and glutamate residues (D450/D1093, E482/E1125, E552/E1197, D558/D1203, D592/D1237, and E604/E1249) that are highly conserved in the nucleotide binding sites of P-glycoprotein (Mdr3) and of other ABC transporters. Removal of the charge in E552Q/E1197Q and D558N/D1203N produced proteins with severely impaired biological activity when the proteins were analyzed in yeast cells for cellular resistance to FK506 and restoration of mating in a ste6Delta mutant. Mutations at other acidic residues had no apparent effect in the same assays. These four mutants were expressed in Pichia pastoris, purified to homogeneity, and biochemically characterized with respect to ATPase activity. Studies with purified proteins showed that mutants D558N and D1203N retained 14 and 30% of the drug-stimulated ATPase activity of wild-type (WT) Mdr3, respectively, and vanadate trapping of 8-azido[alpha-(32)P]nucleotide confirmed slower basal and drug-stimulated 8-azido-ATP hydrolysis compared to that for WT Mdr3. The E552Q and E1197Q mutants showed no drug-stimulated ATPase activity. Surprisingly, drugs did stimulate vanadate trapping of 8-azido[alpha-(32)P]nucleotide in E552Q and E1197Q at a level similar to that of WT Mdr3. This suggests that formation of the catalytic transition state can occur in these mutants, and that the bond between the beta- and gamma-phosphates is hydrolyzed. In addition, photolabeling by 8-azido[alpha-(32)P]nucleotide in the presence or absence of drug was also detected in the absence of vanadate in these mutants. These results suggest that steps after the transition state, possibly involved in release of MgADP, are severely impaired in these mutant enzymes. 相似文献

P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is a plasma membrane protein whose overexpression confers multidrug resistance to tumor cells by extruding amphipathic natural product cytotoxic drugs using the energy of ATP. An elucidation of the catalytic cycle of Pgp would help design rational strategies to combat multidrug resistance and to further our understanding of the mechanism of ATP-binding cassette transporters. We have recently reported (Sauna, Z. E., and Ambudkar, S. V. (2000) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 97, 2515-2520) that there are two independent ATP hydrolysis events in a single catalytic cycle of Pgp. In this study we exploit the vanadate (Vi)-induced transition state conformation of Pgp (Pgp.ADP.Vi) to address the question of what are the effects of ATP hydrolysis on the nucleotide-binding site. We find that at the end of the first hydrolysis event there is a drastic decrease in the affinity of nucleotide for Pgp coincident with decreased substrate binding. Release of occluded dinucleotide is adequate for the next hydrolysis event to occur but is not sufficient for the recovery of substrate binding. Whereas the two hydrolysis events have different functional outcomes vis à vis the substrate, they show comparable t(12) for both incorporation and release of nucleotide, and the affinities for [alpha-(32)P]8-azido-ATP during Vi-induced trapping are identical. In addition, the incorporation of [alpha-(32)P]8-azido-ADP in two ATP sites during both hydrolysis events is also similar. These data demonstrate that during individual hydrolysis events, the ATP sites are recruited in a random manner, and only one site is utilized at any given time because of the conformational change in the catalytic site that drastically reduces the affinity of the second ATP site for nucleotide binding. In aggregate, these findings provide an explanation for the alternate catalysis of ATP hydrolysis and offer a mechanistic framework to elucidate events at both the substrate- and nucleotide-binding sites in the catalytic cycle of Pgp. 相似文献

The ABC-transporter haemolysin B is a central component of the secretion machinery that translocates the toxin, haemolysin A, in a Sec-independent fashion across both membranes of E. coli. Here, we report the X-ray crystal structure of the nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) of HlyB. The molecule shares the common overall architecture of ABC-transporter NBDs. However, the last three residues of the Walker A motif adopt a 3(10) helical conformation, stabilized by a bound anion. In consequence, this results in an unusual interaction between the Walker A lysine residue and the Walker B glutamate residue. As these residues are normally required to be available for ATP binding, for catalysis and for dimer formation of ABC domains, we suggest that this conformation may represent a latent monomeric form of the NBD. Surprisingly, comparison of available NBD structures revealed a structurally diverse region (SDR) of about 30 residues within the helical arm II domain, unique to each of the eight NBDs analyzed. As this region interacts with the transmembrane part of ABC-transporters, the SDR helps to explain the selectivity and/or targeting of different NBDs to their cognate transmembrane domains. 相似文献

Nine single mutations were introduced to amino acid residues Thr441, Glu442, Lys515, Arg560, Cys561, and Leu562 located in the nucleotide-binding domain of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, and the functional consequences were studied in a direct nucleotide binding assay, as well as by steady-state and transient kinetic measurements of the overall and partial reactions of the transport cycle. Some partial reaction steps were also examined in mutants with alterations to Phe487, Arg489, and Lys492. The results implicate all these residues, except Cys561, in high affinity nucleotide binding at the substrate site. Mutations Thr441 --> Ala, Glu442 --> Ala, and Leu562 --> Phe were more detrimental to MgATP binding than to ATP binding, thus pointing to a role for these residues in the binding of Mg2+ or to a difference between the interactions with MgATP and ATP. Subsequent catalytic steps were also selectively affected by the mutations, showing the involvement of the nucleotide-binding domain in these reactions. Mutation of Arg560 inhibited phosphoryl transfer but enhanced the E1PCa2 --> E2P conformational transition, whereas mutations Thr441 --> Ala, Glu442 --> Ala, Lys492 --> Leu, and Lys515 --> Ala inhibited the E1PCa2 --> E2P transition. Hydrolysis of the E2P phosphoenzyme intermediate was enhanced in Glu442 --> Ala, Lys492 --> Leu, Lys515 --> Ala, and Arg560 --> Glu. None of the mutations affected the low affinity activation by nucleotide of the phosphoenzyme-processing steps, indicating that modulatory nucleotide interacts differently from substrate nucleotide. Mutation Glu442 --> Ala greatly enhanced reaction of Lys515 with fluorescein isothiocyanate, indicating that the two residues form a salt link in the native protein. 相似文献

ATP binding to two sites is necessary for dimerization of nucleotide-binding domains of ABC proteins
ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters have a functional unit formed by two transmembrane domains and two nucleotide binding domains (NBDs). ATP-bound NBDs dimerize in a head-to-tail arrangement, with two nucleotides sandwiched at the dimer interface. Both NBDs contribute residues to each of the two nucleotide-binding sites (NBSs) in the dimer. In previous studies, we showed that the prototypical NBD MJ0796 from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii forms ATP-bound dimers that dissociate completely following hydrolysis of one of the two bound ATP molecules. Since hydrolysis of ATP at one NBS is sufficient to drive dimer dissociation, it is unclear why all ABC proteins contain two NBSs. Here, we used luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) to study ATP-induced formation of NBD homodimers containing two NBSs competent for ATP binding, and NBD heterodimers with one active NBS and one binding-defective NBS. The results showed that binding of two ATP molecules is necessary for NBD dimerization. We conclude that ATP hydrolysis at one nucleotide-binding site drives NBD dissociation, but two binding sites are required to form the ATP-sandwich NBD dimer necessary for hydrolysis. 相似文献

Communication between the nucleotide binding domains of P-glycoprotein occurs via conformational changes that involve residue 508 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Gabriel MP Storm J Rothnie A Taylor AM Linton KJ Kerr ID Callaghan R 《Biochemistry》2003,42(25):7780-7789
Our aim is to provide molecular understanding of the mechanisms underlying the (i) interaction between the two nucleotide binding domains (NBDs) and (ii) coupling between NBDs and transmembrane domains within P-glycoprotein (Pgp) during a transport cycle. To facilitate this, we have introduced a number of unique cysteine residues at surface exposed positions (E393C, S452C, I500C, N508C, and K578C) in the N-terminal NBD of Pgp, which had previously been engineered to remove endogenous cysteines. Positions of the mutations were designed using a model based on crystallographic features of prokaryotic NBDs. The single cysteine mutants were expressed in insect cells using recombinant baculovirus and the proteins purified by metal affinity chromatography by virtue of a polyhistidine tag. None of the introduced cysteine residues perturbed the function of Pgp as judged by the characteristics of drug stimulated ATP hydrolysis. The role of residues at each of the introduced sites in the catalytic cycle of Pgp was investigated by the effect of covalent conjugation with N-ethyl-maleimide (NEM). All but one mutation (K578C) was accessible to labeling with [(3)H]-NEM. However, perturbation of ATPase activity was only observed for the derivitized N508C isoform. The principle functional manifestation was a marked inhibition of the "basal" rate of ATP hydrolysis. Neither the extent nor potency to which a range of drugs could affect the ATPase activity were altered in the NEM conjugated N508C isoform. The results imply that the accessibility of residue 508, located in the alpha-helical subdomain of NBD1 in Pgp, is altered by the conformational changes that occur during ATP hydrolysis. 相似文献

The dynamic changes occurring during the catalytic cycle of MDR3 P-glycoprotein (Pgp) and the role of each nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) in the transport process were investigated using attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. For this purpose, wild-type Pgp and two mutations of homologous residues in each NBD were studied. On the one hand, we demonstrate here that, during its catalytic cycle, Pgp does not undergo secondary structure changes, but only modifications in its stability and accessibility to the external environment. On the other hand, amide H/D exchange kinetics demonstrate that homologous mutations in the two NBDs affect, in a different way, the dynamic properties of Pgp and also the dynamic changes occurring during ATP hydrolysis. These observations led to the conclusion that the NBDs have an asymmetric structure and different functions in the catalytic cycle of Pgp. Our data suggest that the release of drug from the membrane into the extracellular environment is due to decreased stability and/or increased accessibility to the external medium of the membrane-embedded drug-binding site(s). NBD1 would play an important role in this first restructuring of the membrane-embedded domains. NBD2 would be directly implicated in the subsequent restructuring of the membrane-embedded binding sites by which they recover their initial stability and accessibility to the membrane. It is proposed that this restructuring step would allow the binding and transport of another molecule of substrate. 相似文献

On the mechanism of MgATP-dependent gating of CFTR Cl- channels 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
CFTR, the product of the gene mutated in cystic fibrosis, is an ATPase that functions as a Cl(-) channel in which bursts of openings separate relatively long interburst closed times (tauib). Channel gating is controlled by phosphorylation and MgATP, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain controversial. To investigate them, we expressed CFTR channels in Xenopus oocytes and examined, in excised patches, how gating kinetics of phosphorylated channels were affected by changes in [MgATP], by alterations in the chemical structure of the activating nucleotide, and by mutations expected to impair nucleotide hydrolysis and/or diminish nucleotide binding affinity. The rate of opening to a burst (1/tauib) was a saturable function of [MgATP], but apparent affinity was reduced by mutations in either of CFTR's nucleotide binding domains (NBDs): K464A in NBD1, and K1250A or D1370N in NBD2. Burst duration of neither wild-type nor mutant channels was much influenced by [MgATP]. Poorly hydrolyzable nucleotide analogs, MgAMPPNP, MgAMPPCP, and MgATPgammaS, could open CFTR channels, but only to a maximal rate of opening approximately 20-fold lower than attained by MgATP acting on the same channels. NBD2 catalytic site mutations K1250A, D1370N, and E1371S were found to prolong open bursts. Corresponding NBD1 mutations did not affect timing of burst termination in normal, hydrolytic conditions. However, when hydrolysis at NBD2 was impaired, the NBD1 mutation K464A shortened the prolonged open bursts. In light of recent biochemical and structural data, the results suggest that: nucleotide binding to both NBDs precedes channel opening; at saturating nucleotide concentrations the rate of opening to a burst is influenced by the structure of the phosphate chain of the activating nucleotide; normal, rapid exit from bursts occurs after hydrolysis of the nucleotide at NBD2, without requiring a further nucleotide binding step; if hydrolysis at NBD2 is prevented, exit from bursts occurs through a slower pathway, the rate of which is modulated by the structure of the NBD1 catalytic site and its bound nucleotide. Based on these and other results, we propose a mechanism linking hydrolytic and gating cycles via ATP-driven dimerization of CFTR's NBDs. 相似文献

Most ATP binding cassette (ABC) proteins are pumps that transport substrates across biological membranes using the energy of ATP hydrolysis. Functional ABC proteins have two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) that bind and hydrolyze ATP, but the molecular mechanism of nucleotide hydrolysis is unresolved. This is due in part to the limited kinetic information on NBD association and dissociation. Here, we show dimerization of a catalytically active NBD and follow in real time the association and dissociation of NBDs from the changes in fluorescence emission of a tryptophan strategically located at the center of the dimer interface. Spectroscopic and structural studies demonstrated that the tryptophan can be used as dimerization probe, and we showed that under hydrolysis conditions (millimolar MgATP), not only the dimer dissociation rate increases, but also the dimerization rate. Neither dimer formation or dissociation are clearly favored, and the end result is a dynamic equilibrium where the concentrations of monomer and dimer are very similar. We proposed that based on their variable rates of hydrolysis, the rate-limiting step of the hydrolysis cycle may differ among full-length ABC proteins. 相似文献

We have recently proposed a "processive clamp" model for the ATP hydrolysis cycle of the nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) of the mitochondrial ABC transporter Mdl1 (Janas, E., Hofacker, M., Chen, M., Gompf, S., van der Does, C., and Tampé, R. (2003) J. Biol. Chem. 278, 26862-26869). In this model, ATP binding to two monomeric NBDs leads to formation of an NBD dimer that, after hydrolysis of both ATPs, dissociates and releases ADP. Here, we set out to follow the association and dissociation of NBDs using a novel minimally invasive site-specific labeling technique, which provides stable and stoichiometric attachment of fluorophores. The association and dissociation kinetics of the E599Q-NBD dimer upon addition and removal of ATP were determined by fluorescence self-quenching. Remarkably, the rate of ATP hydrolysis of the wild type NBD is determined by the rate of NBD dimerization. In the E599QNBD, however, in which the ATP hydrolysis is 250-fold reduced, the ATP hydrolysis reaction controls dimer dissociation and the overall ATPase cycle. These data explain contradicting observations on the rate-limiting step of various ABC proteins and further demonstrate that dimer formation is an important step in the ATP hydrolysis cycle. 相似文献

The functional unit of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters consists of two transmembrane domains and two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs). ATP binding elicits association of the two NBDs, forming a dimer in a head-to-tail arrangement, with two nucleotides “sandwiched” at the dimer interface. Each of the two nucleotide-binding sites is formed by residues from the two NBDs. We recently found that the prototypical NBD MJ0796 from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii dimerizes in response to ATP binding and dissociates completely following ATP hydrolysis. However, it is still unknown whether dissociation of NBD dimers follows ATP hydrolysis at one or both nucleotide-binding sites. Here, we used luminescence resonance energy transfer to study heterodimers formed by one active (donor-labeled) and one catalytically defective (acceptor-labeled) NBD. Rapid mixing experiments in a stop-flow chamber showed that NBD heterodimers with one functional and one inactive site dissociated at a rate indistinguishable from that of dimers with two hydrolysis-competent sites. Comparison of the rates of NBD dimer dissociation and ATP hydrolysis indicated that dissociation followed hydrolysis of one ATP. We conclude that ATP hydrolysis at one nucleotide-binding site drives NBD dimer dissociation. 相似文献

P-glycoprotein (Pgp), a member of the ATP-binding cassette transporter family, functions as an ATP hydrolysis-driven efflux pump to rid the cell of toxic organic compounds, including a variety of drugs used in anticancer chemotherapy. Here, we used fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) spectroscopy to delineate the structural rearrangements the two nucleotide binding domains (NBDs) are undergoing during the catalytic cycle. Pairs of cysteines were introduced into equivalent regions in the N- and C-terminal NBDs for labeling with fluorescent dyes for ensemble and single-molecule FRET spectroscopy. In the ensemble FRET, a decrease of the donor to acceptor (D/A) ratio was observed upon addition of drug and ATP. Vanadate trapping further decreased the D/A ratio, indicating close association of the two NBDs. One of the cysteine mutants was further analyzed using confocal single-molecule FRET spectroscopy. Single Pgp molecules showed fast fluctuations of the FRET efficiencies, indicating movements of the NBDs on a time scale of 10-100 ms. Populations of low, medium, and high FRET efficiencies were observed during drug-stimulated MgATP hydrolysis, suggesting the presence of at least three major conformations of the NBDs during catalysis. Under conditions of vanadate trapping, most molecules displayed high FRET efficiency states, whereas with cyclosporin, more molecules showed low FRET efficiency. Different dwell times of the FRET states were found for the distinct biochemical conditions, with the fastest movements during active turnover. The FRET spectroscopy observations are discussed in context of a model of the catalytic mechanism of Pgp. 相似文献

The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl(-) channel is an ATP-binding cassette transporter that contains conserved nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs). In CFTR, the NBDs bind and hydrolyze ATP to open and close the channel. Crystal structures of related NBDs suggest a structural model with an important signaling role for a gamma-phosphate linker peptide that couples bound nucleotide to movement of an alpha-helical subdomain. We mutated two residues in CFTR that the structural model predicts will uncouple effects of nucleotide binding from movement of the alpha-helical subdomain. These residues are Gln-493 and Gln-1291, which may directly connect the ATP gamma-phosphate to the gamma-phosphate linker, and residues Asn-505 and Asn-1303, which may form hydrogen bonds that stabilize the linker. In NBD1, Q493A reduced the frequency of channel opening, suggesting a role for this residue in coupling ATP binding to channel opening. In contrast, N505C increased the frequency of channel opening, consistent with a role for Asn-505 in stabilizing the inactive state of the NBD. In NBD2, Q1291A decreased the effects of pyrophosphate without altering other functions. Mutations of Asn-1303 decreased the rate of channel opening and closing, suggesting an important role for NBD2 in controlling channel burst duration. These findings are consistent with both the bacterial NBD structural model and gating models for CFTR. Our results extend models of nucleotide-induced structural changes from bacterial NBDs to a functional mammalian ATP-binding cassette transporter. 相似文献
