Formation of a hetero-oligomeric complex between Hsp70 and Hsp80 of Neurospora crassa was observed previously by means of chemical crosslinking and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). The present study documents the effect of nucleotides on the subunit structure of Hsp70 and Hsp80 by crosslinking with bifunctional reagents: glutaraldehyde, dimethyl adipimidate (DMA), and dimethyl suberimidate (DMS). The inter-protomer crosslinking of Hsp80 with DMA and DMS was suppressed by ATP and to a lesser extent by ADP, CTP, and NAD. Crosslinking of purified Hsp70 by glutaraldehyde yielded dimers and higher order oligomers. Binding of ATP, ADP, CTP, and NAD, but not NADH, led to a marked reduction in the yield of oligomers. Similarly, crosslinking by DMA and DMS was suppressed by ADP, ATP, and CTP. Both Hsp70 and Hsp80 exhibited intrinsic ATPase activity. Interestingly, ATP levels exceeding 25 µM resulted in pronounced inhibition of the ATPase activity of Hsp80 and 0.5 mM and 0.25 mM ATP led to a prolonged lag in the reaction. Addition of NAD resulted in the abolition of the lag period. The binding of 2-p-toluidinylnapthalene-6-sulfonate (TNS) to Hsp70 and its displacement by ATP and other nucleotides demonstrated the hydrophobic nature of the nucleotide-binding region.Key words: molecular chaperones; ATPase; Hsp70; Hsp80; Neurospora.

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.

Because previous studies indicated that in the collecting tubule, N-ethylmaleimide (NEM)-sensitive ATPase, the biochemical equivalent of the proton pump, is controlled by mineralocorticoids in the long term, the present study was designed to investigate whether such control also exists in the short term. Therefore we investigated the in vivo and in vitro effects of aldosterone on the enzyme activity in cortical and outer medullary collecting tubules (CCT and MCT, respectively) from adrenalectomized rats. Administration of aldosterone (10 micrograms/kg body wt) markedly stimulated NEM-sensitive ATPase activity in the CCT and MCT within 3 h. Similarly, incubating CCT or MCT for 3 h in the presence of 10(-8) M aldosterone enhanced NEM-sensitive ATPase activity up to values similar to those previously measured in the corresponding nephron segments of normal rats. In vitro stimulation of NEM-sensitive ATPase was dose dependent in regard to aldosterone (apparent affinity constant approximately 10(-9) M), appeared after a 30-min lag period, and reached its maximum after 2-2.5 h. Finally, actinomycin D and cycloheximide totally abolished the in vitro action of aldosterone, demonstrating the involvement of protein synthesis in this process.

Mutations in the cystic fibrosis gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) lead to altered chloride (Cl−) flux in affected epithelial tissues. CFTR is a Cl−channel that is regulated by phosphorylation, nucleotide binding, and hydrolysis. However, the molecular basis for the functional regulation of wild type and mutant CFTR remains poorly understood. CFTR possesses two nucleotide binding domains, a phosphorylation-dependent regulatory domain, and two transmembrane domains that comprise the pore through which Cl−permeates. Mutations of residues lining the channel pore (e.g.R347D) are typically thought to cause disease by altering the interaction of Cl−with the pore. However, in the present study we show that the R347D mutation and diphenylamine-2-carboxylate (an open pore inhibitor) also inhibit CFTR ATPase activity, revealing a novel mechanism for cross-talk from the pore to the catalytic domains. In both cases, the reduction in ATPase correlates with a decrease in nucleotide turnover rather than affinity. Finally, we demonstrate that glutathione (GSH) inhibits CFTR ATPase and that this inhibition is altered in the CFTR-R347D variant. These findings suggest that cross-talk between the pore and nucleotide binding domains of CFTR may be important in thein vivoregulation of CFTR in health and disease.
