Location of a dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-reactive glutamate residue in the Neurospora crassa plasma membrane H+-ATPase

MR Sussman, JE Strickler, KM Hager and CW Slayman

The proton pump (H+-ATPase) found in the plasma membrane of the fungus Neurospora crassa is inactivated by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD). Kinetic and labeling experiments have suggested that inactivation at 0 degrees C results from the covalent attachment of DCCD to a single site in the Mr = 100,000 catalytic subunit (Sussman, M. R., and Slayman, C. W. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 1839-1843). In the present study, when [14C]DCCD-labeled enzyme was treated with the cleavage reagent, N- bromosuccinimide, a single major radioactive peptide fragment migrating at about Mr = 5,300 on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was produced. The fragment was coupled to glass beads and partially sequenced by automated solid-phase Edman degradation at the amino terminus and at an internal tryptic cleavage site. By comparison to the DNA-derived amino acid sequence for the entire Mr = 100,000 polypeptide (Hager, K., and Slayman, C. W. (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 83, 7693-7697), the fragment has been identified as arising by cleavage at tyrosine 100 and tryptophan 141. Covalently incorporated [14C]DCCD was released at a position corresponding to glutamate 129. The DCCD-reactive glutamate is located in the middle of the first of eight predicted transmembrane sequences. When the sequence surrounding the DCCD site is compared to that surrounding the DCCD- reactive residue of two other proton pumps, the F0F1-ATPase and cytochrome c oxidase, no homology is apparent apart from an abundance of hydrophobic amino acids.
