Biochemical characterization of P-type copper ATPases
Copper ATPases, in analogy with other members of the P-ATPase superfamily, contain a catalytic headpiece including an aspartate residue reacting with ATP to form a phosphoenzyme intermediate, and transmembrane helices containing cation-binding sites [TMBS (transmembrane metal-binding sites)] for catalytic activation and cation translocation. Following phosphoenzyme formation by utilization of A...
متن کاملIon Motive ATPases: V- and P-type ATPases
Biological membranes are composed of phospholipid bilayers and mark the boundaries between the cell or organelle and its exterior. There is little, if any, free diffusion of ions or hydrophilic solutes across phospholipid bilayers. Thus, to enable the cell to control the composition of its intracellular environment, nature has evolved membrane proteins that form specialized pathways across them...
متن کاملEvolution of Plant P-Type ATPases
Five organisms having completely sequenced genomes and belonging to all major branches of green plants (Viridiplantae) were analyzed with respect to their content of P-type ATPases encoding genes. These were the chlorophytes Ostreococcus tauri and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, and the streptophytes Physcomitrella patens (a non-vascular moss), Selaginella moellendorffii (a primitive vascular plant)...
متن کاملRole of the P-Type ATPases, ATP7A and ATP7B in brain copper homeostasis
Over the past two decades there have been significant advances in our understanding of copper homeostasis and the pathological consequences of copper dysregulation. Cumulative evidence is revealing a complex regulatory network of proteins and pathways that maintain copper homeostasis. The recognition of copper dysregulation as a key pathological feature in prominent neurodegenerative disorders ...
متن کاملStructural models of the human copper P-type ATPases ATP7A and ATP7B.
The human copper exporters ATP7A and ATP7B contain domains common to all P-type ATPases as well as class-specific features such as six sequential heavy-metal binding domains (HMBD1-HMBD6) and a type-specific constellation of transmembrane helices. Despite the medical significance of ATP7A and ATP7B related to Menkes and Wilson diseases, respectively, structural information has only been availab...
