CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE NON-CATALYTIC B SUBUNIT OF A-TYPE ATPASE FROM M. MAZEI GO1
|
OverviewOverview
The A1Ao ATP synthase from archaea represents a class of chimeric, ATPases/synthases, whose function and general structural design share, characteristics both with vacuolar V1Vo ATPases and with F1Fo ATP, synthases. The primary sequences of the two large polypeptides A and B, from the catalytic part, are closely related to the eukaryotic V1Vo, ATPases. The chimeric nature of the A1Ao ATP synthase from the archaeon, Methanosarcina mazei Go1 was investigated in terms of nucleotide, interaction. Here, we demonstrate the ability of the overexpressed A and B, subunits to bind ADP and ATP by photoaffinity labeling. Matrix-assisted, laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used to, map the peptide of subunit B involved in nucleotide interaction., Nucleotide affinities in both subunits were determined by fluorescence, correlation spectroscopy, indicating a weaker binding of nucleotide, analogues to subunit B than to A. In addition, the nucleotide-free crystal, structure of subunit B is presented at 1.5 A resolution, providing the, first view of the so-called non-catalytic subunit of the A1Ao ATP, synthase. Superposition of the A-ATP synthase non-catalytic B subunit and, the F-ATP synthase non-catalytic alpha subunit provides new insights into, the similarities and differences of these nucleotide-binding ATPase, subunits in particular, and into nucleotide binding in general. The, arrangement of subunit B within the intact A1Ao ATP synthase is presented.
