A central step in the gating of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel is the association of its two cytosolic nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) into a head-to-tail dimer, with two nucleotides bound at the interface. Channel opening and closing, respectively, are coupled to formation and disruption of this tight NBD dimer. CFTR is an asymmetric adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette protein in which the two interfacial-binding sites (composite sites 1 and 2) are functionally different. During gating, the canonical, catalytically active nucleotide-binding site (site 2) cycles between dimerized prehydrolytic (state O1), dimerized post-hydrolytic (state O2), and dissociated (state C) forms in a preferential C→O1→O2→C sequence. In contrast, the catalytically inactive nucleotide-binding site (site 1) is believed to remain associated, ATP-bound, for several gating cycles. Here, we have examined the possibility of conformational changes in site 1 during gating, by studying gating effects of perturbations in site 1. Previous work showed that channel closure is slowed, both under hydrolytic and nonhydrolytic conditions, by occupancy of site 1 by N6-(2-phenylethyl)-ATP (P-ATP) as well as by the site-1 mutation H1348A (NBD2 signature sequence). Here, we found that P-ATP prolongs wild-type (WT) CFTR burst durations by selectively slowing (>2×) transition O1→O2 and decreases the nonhydrolytic closing rate (transition O1→C) of CFTR mutants K1250A (∼4×) and E1371S (∼3×). Mutation H1348A also slowed (∼3×) the O1→O2 transition in the WT background and decreased the nonhydrolytic closing rate of both K1250A (∼3×) and E1371S (∼3×) background mutants. Neither P-ATP nor the H1348A mutation affected the 1:1 stoichiometry between ATP occlusion and channel burst events characteristic to WT CFTR gating in ATP. The marked effect that different structural perturbations at site 1 have on both steps O1→C and O1→O2 suggests that the overall conformational changes that CFTR undergoes upon opening and coincident with hydrolysis at the active site 2 include significant structural rearrangement at site 1.

Background:Proteins that belong to the ATP-binding cassette superfamily include transporters that mediate the efflux of substrates from cells. Among these exporters, P-glycoprotein and MRP1 are involved in cancer multidrug resistance, protection from endo and xenobiotics, determination of drug pharmacokinetics, and the pathophysiology of a variety of disorders. Objective:To review the information available on ATP-binding cassette exporters, with a focus on Pglycoprotein, MRP1 and related proteins. We describe tissue localization and function of these transporters in health and disease, and discuss the mechanisms of substrate transport. We also correlate recent structural information with the function of the exporters, and discuss details of their molecular mechanism with a focus on the nucleotide-binding domains. Methods: Evaluation of selected publications on the structure and function of ATP-binding cassette proteins. Conclusions:Conformational changes on the nucleotide-binding domains side of the exporters switch the accessibility of the substrate-binding pocket between the inside and outside, which is coupled to substrate efflux. However, there is no agreement on the magnitude and nature of the changes at the nucleotide- binding domains side that drive the alternate-accessibility. Comparison of the structures of Pglycoprotein and MRP1 helps explain differences in substrate selectivity and the bases for polyspecificity. P-glycoprotein substrates are hydrophobic and/or weak bases, and polyspecificity is explained by a flexible hydrophobic multi-binding site that has a few acidic patches. MRP1 substrates are mostly organic acids, and its polyspecificity is due to a single bipartite binding site that is flexible and displays positive charge.

A fundamental goal in the field of motor proteins is to identify the conformational changes associated with the hydrolysis of the physiological substrate, ATP, and to define how these conformational changes are modulated by binding to the polymer track and translated into biologically useful movement. We have used electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to monitor conformational changes at the nucleotide-binding site of myosin- and kinesin-family motors. A novel set of nucleotide-analog EPR spin probes were synthesized and used to localize a spin moiety at the nucleotide site. This allows a reporter group to be placed with high specificity at the ATP binding site. Our results indicate that the nucleotide-binding site of myosin motors opens when the motor binds to its polymer roadway, actin, while that of kinesin closes on binding to microtubules (MTs). However, the transition is not all-or-none. There is instead an equilibrium between open and closed conformations. The different conformational changes in the two motor families can be correlated with differences in their biochemical cycles. Thus, we can now define the relationship between nucleotide-site structure, biochemistry and polymer binding for the two motors.

Sweetpotato, <i>Ipomoea batatas</i> (L.) Lam., is an important and widely grown crop, yet its production is affected severely by biotic and abiotic stresses. The nucleotide binding site (NBS)-encoding genes have been shown to improve stress tolerance in several plant species. However, the characterization of NBS-encoding genes in sweetpotato is not well-documented to date. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of NBS-encoding genes has been conducted on this species by using bioinformatics and molecular biology methods. A total of 315 NBS-encoding genes were identified, and 260 of them contained all essential conserved domains while 55 genes were truncated. Based on domain architectures, the 260 NBS-encoding genes were grouped into 6 distinct categories. Phylogenetic analysis grouped these genes into 3 classes: TIR, CC (I), and CC (II). Chromosome location analysis revealed that the distribution of NBS-encoding genes in chromosomes was uneven, with a number ranging from 1 to 34. Multiple stress-related regulatory elements were detected in the promoters, and the NBS-encoding genes’ expression profiles under biotic and abiotic stresses were obtained. According to the bioinformatics analysis, 9 genes were selected for RT-qPCR analysis. The results revealed that <i>IbNBS75</i>, <i>IbNBS219</i>, and <i>IbNBS256</i> respond to stem nematode infection; <i>Ib­NBS240</i>, <i>IbNBS90</i>, and <i>IbNBS80</i> respond to cold stress, while <i>IbNBS208</i>, <i>IbNBS71</i>, and <i>IbNBS159</i> respond to 30% PEG treatment. We hope these results will provide new insights into the evolution of NBS-encoding genes in the sweetpotato genome and contribute to the molecular breeding of sweetpotato in the future.
