CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE ESCHERICHIA COLI ARSENITE-TRANSLOCATING ATPASE IN COMPLEX WITH AMP-PNP

OverviewOverview

Structures of ArsA with ATP, AMP-PNP, or ADP.AlF(3) bound at the A2 nucleotide binding site were determined. Binding of different nucleotides modifies the coordination sphere of Mg(2+). In particular, the changes elicited by ADP.AlF(3) provide insights into the mechanism of ATP hydrolysis. In-line attack by water onto the gamma-phosphate of ATP would be followed first by formation of a trigonal intermediate and then by breaking of the scissile bond between the beta- and gamma-phosphates. Motions of amino acid side chains at the A2 nucleotide binding site during ATP binding and hydrolysis propagate at a distance, producing conformational changes in four different regions of the protein corresponding to helices H4-H5, helices H9-H10, helices H13-H15, and to the S1-H2-S2 region. These elements are extensions of, respectively, the Switch I and Switch II regions, the A-loop (a small loop near the nucleotide adenine moiety), and the P-loop. Based on the observed conformational changes, it is proposed that ArsA functions as a reciprocating engine that hydrolyzes 2 mol of ATP per each cycle of ion translocation across the membrane.
