The Enterococcus hirae CopB ATPase serves in the secretion of excess copper from cells and belongs to the recently discovered, new class of heavy metal transport ATPases. We here report the affinity purification of CopB to near homogeneity and its reconstitution into phospholipid vesicles. In these proteoliposomes, the ATPase formed an acylphosphate reaction intermediate with the gamma-phosphate of ATP. ATPase activity and phosphoenzyme formation were inhibited by vanadate with an I(50) of 0.1 mM. Our results suggest that heavy metal and non-heavy metal ATPases operate by the same underlying mechanism.

Cdc14 phosphatases are related structurally and mechanistically to protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) but evolved a unique specificity for phosphoSer-Pro-X-Lys/Arg sites primarily deposited by cyclin-dependent kinases. This specialization is widely conserved in eukaryotes. The evolutionary reconfiguration of the Cdc14 active site to selectively accommodate phosphoSer-Pro likely required modification to the canonical PTP catalytic cycle.

Na,K-ATPase actively extrudes three cytoplasmic Na ions in exchange for two extracellular K ions for each ATP hydrolyzed. The atomic structure with bound Na identifies three Na sites, named I, II, and III. It has been proposed that site III is the first to be occupied and site II last, when Na binds from the cytoplasmic side.

The Spf1p protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae belongs to the family of P5A-ATPases that have recently been shown to protect the endoplasmic reticulum by dislocating misinserted membrane proteins. The loss of function of P5A-ATPases leads to endoplasmic reticulum stress with a pleiotropic phenotype including protein, sterol and metal ion dyshomeostasis. Like other P-ATPases, Spf1p requires Mg.

The Na,K-ATPase generates electrochemical gradients of Na and K across the plasma membrane via a functional cycle that includes various phosphoenzyme intermediates. However, the structure and function of these intermediates and how metal fluorides mimick them require further investigation. Here, we describe a 4.

Arg324 of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase forms electrostatic interactions with the phosphate moiety of phospholipids in most reaction states, and a hydrogen bond with Tyr122 in other states. Using site-directed mutagenesis, we explored the functional roles of Arg324 interactions, especially those with lipids, which at first glance might seem too weak to modulate the function of such a large membrane protein. The hydrogen bond forms transiently and facilitates Ca binding from the cytoplasmic side.
