ABSTRACT The nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) possesses protease, nucleoside triphosphatase, and helicase activities. Although the enzymatic activities have been extensively studied, the ATP- and RNA-binding domains of the NS3 helicase are not well-characterized. In this study, NS3 proteins with point mutations in the conserved helicase motifs were expressed inEscherichia coli, purified, and analyzed for their effects on ATP binding, RNA binding, ATP hydrolysis, and RNA unwinding. UV cross-linking experiments indicate that the lysine residue in the AX4GKS motif is directly involved in ATP binding, whereas the NS3(GR1490DT) mutant in which the arginine-rich motif (1486-QRRGRTGR-1493) was changed to QRRDTTGR bound ATP as well as the wild type. The binding activity of HCV NS3 helicase to the viral RNA was drastically reduced with the mutation at Arg1488 (R1488A) and was also affected by the K1236E substitution in the AX4GKS motif and the R1490A and GR1490DT mutations in the arginine-rich motif. Previously, Arg1490 was suggested, based on the crystal structure of an NS3-deoxyuridine octamer complex, to directly interact with the γ-phosphate group of ATP. Nevertheless, our functional analysis demonstrated the critical roles of Arg1490 in binding to the viral RNA, ATP hydrolysis, and RNA unwinding, but not in ATP binding.

ATP binding to the first and second NBDs (nucleotide-binding domains) of CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) are bivalent-cation-independent and -dependent steps respectively [Aleksandrov, Aleksandrov, Chang and Riordan (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 15419–15425]. Subsequent to the initial binding, Mg2+ drives rapid hydrolysis at the second site, while promoting non-exchangeable trapping of the nucleotide at the first site. This occlusion at the first site of functional wild-type CFTR is somewhat similar to that which occurs when the catalytic glutamate residues in both of the hydrolytic sites of P-glycoprotein are mutated, which has been proposed to be the result of dimerization of the two NBDs and represents a transient intermediate formed during ATP hydrolysis [Tombline and Senior (2005) J. Bioenerg. Biomembr. 37, 497–500]. To test the possible relevance of this interpretation to CFTR, we have now characterized the process by which NBD1 occludes [32P]N3ATP (8-azido-ATP) and [32P]N3ADP (8-azido-ADP). Only N3ATP, but not N3ADP, can be bound initially at NBD1 in the absence of Mg2+. Despite the lack of a requirement for Mg2+ for ATP binding, retention of the NTP at 37 °C was dependent on the cation. However, at reduced temperature (4 °C), N3ATP remains locked in the binding pocket with virtually no reduction over a 1 h period, even in the absence of Mg2+. Occlusion occurred identically in a ΔNBD2 construct, but not in purified recombinant NBD1, indicating that the process is dependent on the influence of regions of CFTR in addition to NBD1, but not NBD2.

P-glycoprotein (P-gp), an ATP-binding cassette transporter associated with multidrug resistance in cancer cells, is capable of effluxing a number of xenobiotics as well as anticancer drugs. The transport of molecules through the transmembrane (TM) region of P-gp involves orchestrated conformational changes between inward-open and inward-closed forms, the details of which are still being worked out. Here, we assessed how the binding of transport substrates or modulators in the TM region and the binding of ATP to the nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) affect the thermostability of P-gp in a membrane environment. P-gp stability after exposure at high temperatures (37–80°C) was assessed by measuring ATPase activity and loss of monomeric P-gp. Our results show that P-gp is significantly thermostabilized (>22°C higher IT50) by the binding of ATP under non-hydrolyzing conditions (in the absence of Mg2+). By using an ATP-binding-deficient mutant (Y401A) and a hydrolysis-deficient mutant (E556Q/E1201Q), we show that thermostabilization of P-gp requires binding of ATP to both NBDs and their dimerization. Additionally, we found that transport substrates do not affect the thermal stability of P-gp either in the absence or presence of ATP; in contrast, inhibitors of P-gp including tariquidar and zosuquidar prevent ATP-dependent thermostabilization in a concentration-dependent manner, by stabilizing the inward-open conformation. Altogether, our data suggest that modulators, which bind in the TM regions, inhibit ATP hydrolysis and drug transport by preventing the ATP-dependent dimerization of the NBDs of P-gp.

CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator), a member of the ABC (ATP-binding cassette) superfamily of membrane proteins, possesses two NBDs (nucleotide-binding domains) in addition to two MSDs (membrane spanning domains) and the regulatory ‘R’ domain. The two NBDs of CFTR have been modelled as a heterodimer, stabilized by ATP binding at two sites in the NBD interface. It has been suggested that ATP hydrolysis occurs at only one of these sites as the putative catalytic base is only conserved in NBD2 of CFTR (Glu1371), but not in NBD1 where the corresponding residue is a serine, Ser573. Previously, we showed that fragments of CFTR corresponding to NBD1 and NBD2 can be purified and co-reconstituted to form a heterodimer capable of ATPase activity. In the present study, we show that the two NBD fragments form a complex in vivo, supporting the utility of this model system to evaluate the role of Glu1371 in ATP binding and hydrolysis. The present studies revealed that a mutant NBD2 (E1371Q) retains wild-type nucleotide binding affinity of NBD2. On the other hand, this substitution abolished the ATPase activity formed by the co-purified complex. Interestingly, introduction of a glutamate residue in place of the non-conserved Ser573 in NBD1 did not confer additional ATPase activity by the heterodimer, implicating a vital role for multiple residues in formation of the catalytic site. These findings provide the first biochemical evidence suggesting that the Walker B residue: Glu1371, plays a primary role in the ATPase activity conferred by the NBD1–NBD2 heterodimer.

ABSTRACT P143 is a DNA helicase that tightly binds both double-stranded and single-stranded DNA. DNA-protein complexes rapidly dissociated in the presence of ATP and Mg2+. This finding suggests that ATP hydrolysis causes a conformational change in P143 which decreases affinity for DNA. This supports the model of an inchworm mechanism of DNA unwinding.

P-glycoprotein (P-gp; also known as MDR1 or ABCB1) is an ATP-driven multidrug transporter that extrudes various hydrophobic toxic compounds to the extracellular space. P-gp consists of two transmembrane domains (TMDs) that form the substrate translocation pathway and two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) that bind and hydrolyze ATP. At least two P-gp states are required for transport. In the inward-facing (pre-drug transport) conformation, the two NBDs are separated, and the two TMDs are open to the intracellular side; in the outward-facing (post-drug transport) conformation, the NBDs are dimerized, and the TMDs are slightly open to the extracellular side. ATP binding and hydrolysis cause conformational changes between the inward-facing and the outward-facing conformations, and these changes help translocate substrates across the membrane. However, how ATP hydrolysis is coupled to these conformational changes remains unclear. In this study, we used a new FRET sensor that detects conformational changes in P-gp to investigate the role of ATP binding and hydrolysis during the conformational changes of human P-gp in living HEK293 cells. We show that ATP binding causes the conformational change to the outward-facing state and that ATP hydrolysis and subsequent release of γ-phosphate from both NBDs allow the outward-facing state to return to the original inward-facing state. The findings of our study underscore the utility of using FRET analysis in living cells to elucidate the function of membrane proteins such as multidrug transporters.

Abstract ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are essential proteins that are found across all kingdoms of life. ABC transporters harness the energy of ATP hydrolysis to drive the import of nutrients inside bacterial cells or the export of toxic compounds or essential lipids across bacteria and eukaryotic membranes. Typically, ABC transporters consist of transmembrane domains (TMDs) and nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) to bind their substrate and ATP, respectively. The TMDs dictate what ligands can be recognised, whereas the NBDs are the power engine of the ABC transporter, carrying out ATP binding and hydrolysis. It has been proposed that they utilise the alternating access mechanism, inward- to outward-facing conformation, to transport their substrates. Here, we will review the recent progress on the structure determination of eukaryotic and bacterial ABC transporters as well as the novel mechanisms that have also been proposed, that fall out of the alternating access mechanism model.

ABSTRACT Saccharomyces cerevisiae MutL homologues Mlh1p and Pms1p form a heterodimer, termed MutLα, that is required for DNA mismatch repair after mismatch binding by MutS homologues. Recent sequence and structural studies have placed the NH2 termini of MutL homologues in a new family of ATPases. To address the functional significance of this putative ATPase activity in MutLα, we mutated conserved motifs for ATP hydrolysis and ATP binding in both Mlh1p and Pms1p and found that these changes disrupted DNA mismatch repair in vivo. Limited proteolysis with purified recombinant MutLα demonstrated that the NH2 terminus of MutLα undergoes conformational changes in the presence of ATP and nonhydrolyzable ATP analogs. Furthermore, two-hybrid analysis suggested that these ATP-binding-induced conformational changes promote an interaction between the NH2 termini of Mlh1p and Pms1p. Surprisingly, analysis of specific mutants suggested differential requirements for the ATPase motifs of Mlh1p and Pms1p during DNA mismatch repair. Taken together, these results suggest that MutLα undergoes ATP-dependent conformational changes that may serve to coordinate downstream events during yeast DNA mismatch repair.
