CopA ATP Binding Domain
OverviewOverview
The P-type ATPases translocate cations across membranes using the energy, provided by ATP hydrolysis. CopA from Archaeoglobus fulgidus is a, hyperthermophilic ATPase responsible for the cellular export of Cu+ and is, a member of the heavy metal P1B-type ATPase subfamily, which includes the, related Wilson and Menkes diseases proteins. The Cu+-ATPases are distinct, from their P-type counter-parts in ion binding sequences, membrane, topology, and the presence of cytoplasmic metal binding domains, suggesting that they employ alternate forms of regulation and novel, mechanisms of ion transport. To gain insight into Cu+-ATPase function, the, structure of the CopA ATP binding domain (ATPBD) was determined to 2.3 A, resolution. Similar to other P-type ATPases, the ATPBD includes nucleotide, binding (N-domain) and phosphorylation (P-domain) domains. The ATPBD, adopts a closed conformation similar to the nucleotide-bound forms of the, Ca2+-ATPase. The CopA ATPBD is much smaller and more compact, however, revealing the minimal elements required for ATP binding, hydrolysis, and, enzyme phosphorylation. Structural comparisons to the AMP-PMP-bound form, of the Escherichia coli K+-transporting Kdp-ATPase and to the Wilson, disease protein N-domain indicate that the five conserved N-domain, residues found in P1B-type ATPases, but not in the other families, most, likely participate in ATP binding. By contrast, the P-domain includes, several residues conserved among all P-type ATPases. Finally, the CopA, ATPBD structure provides a basis for understanding the likely structural, and functional effects of various mutations that lead to Wilson and Menkes, diseases.
