P-type ATPases (EiE2-ATPases) are primary active transporters which form phospho-interme- diates during their catalytic cycle. They are classified into PI to P4 based on the primary structure and poten- tial transmembrane segments. Although the classic P-type ATPasesare cation transporters, two newmembers have recently been found; one is a flippase catalyzing the flip-flop movement of aminophospholipids, but the substrate and function of the other one remain unknown.It would be interesting to determine whether the ca- tions and aminophospholipids are transported by similar or different mechanisms. P-type ATPases are be- lieved to have been derived from a commonancestor, and their genes are found to be distributed in various chromosomal loci. However, gene duplication events can be traced from the tandem arrangement of genes and their linkage map. Na+/K+- and H+/K+-ATPaseshave not only closely related a subunits but also similar fi subunits. Renal Na+/K+-ATPasehas an additional subunit y. Similar small polypeptides (phospholemman, Mat-8 and CHIF), which induce Cl~ and K+ currents, have been found. The idea of their functional and struc- tural coupling with P-type ATPases, especially with H+/K+-ATPase, is intriguing. Each P-type ATPase must have specific domains or sequences for its intracellular trafficking (sorting, retention and recycling). Identifica- tion of such regions and studies on the molecules playing role in their recognition mayfacilitate the unveiling of various cellular processes regulated by P-type ATPases.

Pi -ATPase Structural features of P-type ATPases Each memberof the P-type ATPase family transports specific cations coupled with ATP hydrolysis and the formation of a high-energy phospho-intermediate through the DKTGsequence. Although the molecular weights of P-type ATPases are diverse (70-200 k), they have conserved motifs, such as [TGE(S/A)] in the con- formationally flexible loop, [DKTG(S/T)] in the phos- phorylation domain, (TGDN) in the ATP-binding do- main, and (MXGDGXNDXP)in the junction between the ATP-binding domain and the transmembrane seg- ment (7). Recently, P-type ATPases were classified into PI to P3 (Fig. 1) based on the type of transported ca- P2-ATPase tions and the putative transmembrane domains (7). The PI-ATPases involved in the transport of heavy metals (Cd2+, Cu2+ and Hg2+) have only two trans- membrane segments following the ATP-binding re- gion, whereas P2-ATPases have six (M5-M10). P2- Im.Mm^Mm^IJm. ms||m«|[mT|[mI][mT||mI| ATPases have four transmembrane segments (M1-M4) preceding the ATP-binding region. However, two hy- drophobic regions, which are potentially transmem- brane, are further inserted prior to the TGE(S/A) ^^^^á" NH2 sequence in PI-ATPases. PI-ATPases are also unique in that they have metal binding motifs (one to six of GMXCXXCor MXXMDHSXMsequences) in their amino-terminal regions, and have a transmembrane CP(C/H) sequence and a HP(L/V) sequence, each of P3-ATPase which precedes and follows a phosphorylation site (5, 8-12). It would be interesting to know how these motifs and sequences participate in metal transport. Although PI-ATPases generally transport heavy met- als from the cytoplasm to the outside, there is a bacte- rial enzymewhich catalyses the uptake of Cu2+from outside (9). PI-ATPases are also named CPx-type ATPases (10). P2-ATPases (non-heavy-metal-transporting P-type Fig. 1. Model of the transmembrane orientation of P-type ATPases.

  • NF-Y Inactivation Causes Atypical Neurodegeneration Characterized by Ubiquitin and P62 Accumulation and Endoplasmic Reticulum Disorganization

Maity6, Tomomi Shimogori3, Nobutaka Hattori7 & Nobuyuki Nukina1,2,3,4 Nuclear transcription factor-Y (NF-Y), a key regulator of cell-cycle progression, often loses its activity during differentiation into nonproliferative cells. In contrast, NF-Y is still active in mature, differentiated neurons, although its neuronal significance remains obscure. Here we show that conditional deletion of the subunit NF-YA in postmitotic mouse neurons induces progressive neurodegeneration with distinctive ubiquitin/p62 pathology; these proteins are not incorporated into filamentous inclusion but co-accumulated with insoluble membrane proteins broadly on endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The degeneration also accompanies drastic ER disorganization, that is, an aberrant increase in ribosome-free ER in the perinuclear region, without inducing ER stress response. We further perform chromatin immunoprecipitation and identify several NF-Y physiological targets including Grp94 potentially involved in ER disorganization. We propose that NF-Y is involved in a unique regulation mechanism of ER organization in mature neurons and its disruption causes previously undescribed novel neuropathology accompanying abnormal ubiquitin/p62 accumulation. 1 Department of Neuroscience for Neurodegenerative Disorders, Juntendo University Graduate School of Medicine, 2-1-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8421, Japan. 2 Laboratory for Structural Neuropathology, RIKEN Brain Science Institute, 2-1 Hirosawa, Wako, Saitama 351-0198, Japan.

Received, March 13, 2013; Revised, April 25, 2013; Accepted, May 8th, 2013; Published, May 10th, 2013. ABSTRACT – Purpose. ATPases, which constitute a major category of ion transporters in the human body, have a variety of significant biological and pathological roles. However, the lack of high throughput assays for ATPases has significantly limited drug discovery in this area. We have recently found that the genetic deletion of the ATP dependent calcium pump PMCA4 (plasma membrane calcium/calmodulin dependent ATPase, isoform 4) results in infertility in male mice due to a selective defect in sperm motility. In addition, recent discoveries in humans have indicated that a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the PMCA4 gene determines the susceptibility towards malaria plasmodium infection. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop specific PMCA4 inhibitors. In the current study, we aim to optimise and validate a high throughput screening compatible assay using recombinantly expressed PMCA4 and the HTRF® Transcreener® ADP (TR-FRET) assay to screen a drug library.

Hasan3, Yan Zhang1,4, Javier Seravalli2, Jie Lin4,5, Andrei Avanesov1, Svetlana Lutsenko3 & Vadim N. Gladyshev1 Trace elements are essential for human metabolism and dysregulation of their homoeostasis is associated with numerous disorders. Here we characterize mechanisms that regulate trace elements in human cells by designing and performing a genome-wide high-throughput siRNA/ionomics screen, and examining top hits in cellular and biochemical assays. The screen reveals high stability of the ionomes, especially the zinc ionome, and yields known regulators and novel candidates. We further uncover fundamental differences in the regulation of different trace elements. Specifically, selenium levels are controlled through the selenocysteine machinery and expression of abundant selenoproteins; copper balance is affected by lipid metabolism and requires machinery involved in protein trafficking and post-translational modifications; and the iron levels are influenced by iron import and expression of the iron/haeme-containing enzymes. Our approach can be applied to a variety of disease models and/or nutritional conditions, and the generated data set opens new directions for studies of human trace element metabolism. 1 Genetics Division, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA. 2 Department of Biochemistry, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska 68588, USA. 3 Department of Physiology, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland 21205, USA. 4 Key Laboratory of Nutrition and Metabolism, Institute for Nutritional Sciences, Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai 200031, China.

  • Molecular Mechanisms Regulating Copper Balance in Human Cells
    MOLECULAR MECHANISMS REGULATING COPPER BALANCE IN HUMAN CELLS by Nesrin M. Hasan A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland August 2014 ©2014 Nesrin M. Hasan All Rights Reserved Intended to be blank ii ABSTRACT Precise copper balance is essential for normal growth, differentiation, and function of human cells. Loss of copper homeostasis is associated with heart hypertrophy, liver failure, neuronal de-myelination and other pathologies. The copper-transporting ATPases ATP7A and ATP7B maintain cellular copper homeostasis. In response to copper elevation, they traffic from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to vesicles where they sequester excess copper for further export. The mechanisms regulating activity and trafficking of ATP7A/7B are not well understood. Our studies focused on determining the role of kinase-mediated phosphorylation in copper induced trafficking of ATP7B, and identifying and characterizing novel regulators of ATP7A. We have shown that Ser- 340/341 region of ATP7B plays an important role in interactions between the N-terminus and the nucleotide-binding domain and that mutations in these residues result in vesicular localization of the protein independent of the intracellular copper levels. We have determined that structural changes that alter the inter-domain interactions initiate exit of ATP7B from the TGN and that the role of copper-induced kinase-mediated hyperphosphorylation might be to maintain an open interface between the domains of ATP7B. In a separate study, seven proteins were identified, which upon knockdown result in increased intracellular copper levels. We performed an initial characterization of the knock-downs and obtained intriguing results indicating that these proteins regulate ATP7A protein levels, post-translational modifications, and copper-dependent trafficking.
