Consequences of mutations to the phosphorylation site of the alpha-subunit of Na, K-ATPase for ATP binding and E1-E2 conformational equilibrium

Biochemistry

Abstract

Expression of Na, K-ATPase in yeast allowed targeting of alpha beta-units with lethal substitutions at the phosphorylation site alpha 1 (D369N) beta 1 and alpha 1 (D369A) beta 1 at the cell surface at the same concentration of alpha-subunit and [3H] ouabain binding sites as for wild type Na, K-ATPase. Phosphorylation and reaction with vanadate were abolished, and the mutations had no Na, K-ATPase or K-phosphatase activity. Binding of [3H]-ATP at equilibrium revealed an intrinsic high affinity of the D369A mutation for ATP (KD = 2.8 nM) that was 39-fold higher than for wild type Na, K-ATPase (KD = 109 nM). The affinities for ADP were unaffected, indicating that the negative charge at residue 369 determines the contribution of the gamma-phosphate to the free energy of ATP binding. Analysis of the K(+)-ATP antagonism showed that the reduction of charge and hydrophobic substitution at Asp369 of the alpha-subunit caused a large shift in conformational equilibrium toward the E2-form. This was accompanied by a large increase in affinity for [3H] ouabain in Mg2+ medium with KD = 4.9 nM for D369A compared to KD = 51 nM for D369N and KD = 133 nM for wild type, and [3H] ouabain binding (KD = 153 nM) to D369A was detectable even in absence...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
