BIOLOGY, STRUCTURE and MECHANISM of P-TYPE Atpases REVIEWS BIOLOGY, STRUCTURE AND MECHANISM OF P-TYPE ATPases Werner Kühlbrandt P-type ATPases are ion pumps that carry out many fundamental processes in biology and medicine, ranging from the generation of membrane potential to muscle contraction and the removal of toxic ions from cells. Making use of the energy stored in ATP, they transport specific ions across the cell membrane against a concentration gradient. Recent X-ray structures and homology models of P-type pumps now provide a basis for understanding the molecular mechanism of ATP-driven ion transport.

  • Molecular Regulation and Physiology of the H ,K -Atpases in Kidney
    Molecular Regulation and Physiology of the H؉,K؉-ATPases in Kidney Juan Codina and Thomas D. DuBose Jr Two H؉,K؉-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) proteins participate in K؉ absorption and ؉ ؉ ؉ H secretion in the renal medulla. Both the gastric (HK␣1) and colonic (HK␣2)H,K - ATPases have been localized and characterized by a number of techniques, and are known to be highly regulated in response to acid-base and electrolyte disturbances. Both ATPases are dimers of composition ␣/␤ that localize to the apical membrane and both interact with the tetraspanin protein CD63. Although CD63 interacts with the carboxy-terminus of the subunit of the colonic H؉,K؉-ATPase, it interacts with the ␤-subunit of the gastric-␣ H؉,K؉-ATPase. Pharmacologically, both ATPases are distinct; for example, the gastric H؉,K؉-ATPase is inhibited by Sch-28080, but the colonic H؉,K؉-ATPase is inhibited by .ouabain (a classic inhibitor of the Na؉-pump) and is completely insensitive to Sch-28080 The ␣-subunit of the colonic H؉,K؉-ATPase is the only subunit of the X؉,K؉-ATPase superfamily that has 3 different splice variants that emerge by deletion or elongation of the amino-terminus. The messenger RNA and protein of one of these splice variants (HK␣2C)is specifically up-regulated in newborn rats and becomes undetectable in adult rats. There- fore, HK␣2, in addition to its role in potassium and acid-base homeostasis, appears to play a significant role in early growth and development. Finally, because chronic hypokalemia appears to be the most potent stimulus for upregulation of HK␣2, we propose that the HK␣2 participates importantly in the maintenance of chronic metabolic alkalosis.

  • A Model of Mitochonrial Calcium Induced Calcium
    A MODEL OF MITOCHONRIAL CALCIUM INDUCED CALCIUM RELEASE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Balbir Thomas, The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by David Terman, Adviser Douglas R. Pfeiffer Adviser Edward Overman Biophysics Graduate Program Christopher P. Fall ABSTRACT Cytoplasmic calcium plays a dual role in cellular physiology. On one hand it acts as a second messenger in intra-cellular signalling, and on the other hand it is also the trigger for calcium dependent apopotosis. A mechanistic explanation of this dual role of cytoplasmic calcium was proposed by Ichas and Mazat. Their hypothesis involved the permeability transition pore was based on the observation that the permeability transition pore can exist in multiple conductance states. Specifically there exist a persistent high conductance state and a transitory low conductance state. Ichas et.al. also observed that the low conductance state is opened by a rise in mitochondrial matrix pH, in contrast to what was already know about the high conductance state, which opens in response to prolonged elevation of mitochondrial calcium. In this dissertation we build a detailed, physiological model of the mitochondrial switch between calcium signalling and cell death based on a simple three state model of the permeability transition pore. This model agrees with the substance of the Ichas and Mazat hypothesis and provides a substrate for further modeling to study the spatial and temporal dynamics of mitochondrial involvement in intracellular calcium signalling, and the interaction of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum during this process.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Homeostasis of membrane phospholipids plays an important role in cell oncogenesis and cancer progression. The flippase ATPase class I type 8b member 1 (ATP8B1), one of the P4-ATPases, translocates specific phospholipids from the exoplasmic to the cytoplasmic leaflet of membranes. ATP8B1 is critical for maintaining the epithelium membrane stability and polarity. However, the prognostic values of ATP8B1 in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients remain unclear. We analyzed transcriptomics, genomics, and clinical data of CRC samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). ATP8B1 was the only potential biomarker of phospholipid transporters in CRC. Its prognostic value was also validated with the data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Compared to the normal group, the expression of ATP8B1 was downregulated in the tumor group and the CRC cell lines, which declined with disease progression.

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.

  • Targeting Oncogenic Notch Signaling with SERCA Inhibitors Luca Pagliaro, Matteo Marchesini and Giovanni Roti*
    Pagliaro et al. J Hematol Oncol (2021) 14:8 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13045-020-01015-9 REVIEW Open Access Targeting oncogenic Notch signaling with SERCA inhibitors Luca Pagliaro, Matteo Marchesini and Giovanni Roti* Abstract P-type ATPase inhibitors are among the most successful and widely prescribed therapeutics in modern pharmacol- ogy. Clinical transition has been safely achieved for H+/K+ ATPase inhibitors such as omeprazole and Na+/K+-ATPase 2 inhibitors like digoxin. However, this is more challenging for Ca +-ATPase modulators due to the physiological role of 2 2 Ca + in cardiac dynamics. Over the past two decades, sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca +-ATPase (SERCA) modula- 2 tors have been studied as potential chemotherapy agents because of their Ca +-mediated pan-cancer lethal efects. Instead, recent evidence suggests that SERCA inhibition suppresses oncogenic Notch1 signaling emerging as an alternative to γ-secretase modulators that showed limited clinical activity due to severe side efects.

  • SERCA in Genesis of Arrhythmias: What We Already Know and What Is New?
    Review 43 SERCA in genesis of arrhythmias: what we already know and what is new? Nilüfer Erkasap Department of Physiology, Medical Faculty, Eskiflehir Osmangazi University, Eskiflehir, Turkey ABSTRACT This review mainly focuses on the structure, function of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium pump (SERCA) and its role in genesis of arrhythmias. SERCA is a membrane protein that belongs to the family of P-type ion translocating ATPases and pumps free cytosolic calcium into intracellular stores. Active transport of Ca2+ is achieved, according to the E1-E2 model, changing of SERCA structure by Ca2+. The affinity of Ca2+ -binding sites varies from high (E1) to low (E2). Three different SERCA genes were identified-SERCA1, SERCA2, and SERCA3. SERCA is mainly represented by the SERCA2a isoform in the heart. In heart muscle, during systole, depolarization triggers the release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and starts contraction. During diastole, muscle relaxation occurs as Ca2+ is again removed from cytosol, predominantly by accumulation into SR via the action of SERCA2a. The main regulator of SERCA2a is phospholamban and another regulator proteolipid of SERCA is sarcolipin. There are a lot of studies on the effect of decreased and/or increased SERCA activity in genesis of arrhythmia. Actually both decrease and increase of SERCA activity in the heart result in some pathological mechanisms such as heart failure and arrhythmia. (Anadolu Kardiyol Derg 2007: 7 Suppl 1; 43-6) Key words: sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum, SERCA, arrhythmia, calcium channels Introduction from cytosol, predominantly by accumulation into sarcoplasmic reticulum via the action of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Cardiac physiology is a major area of research in basic and Ca ATPase (SERCA).
