Maltose transport across the cytoplasmic membrane of Escherichia coli is catalyzed by a periplasmic binding protein-dependent transport system and energized by ATP. The maltose system, a member of the ATP-binding cassette or ABC transport family, contains two copies of an ATP-binding protein in a complex with two integral membrane proteins. ATP hydrolysis by the transport complex can be assayed following reconstitution into proteoliposomes in the presence of maltose binding protein and maltose. Mutations in the transport complex that permit binding protein-independent transport render ATP hydrolysis constitutive so that hydrolysis can also be assayed with the transport complex in detergent solution. We have used both of these systems to study the role of two ATP binding sites in ATP hydrolysis. We found that both the wild-type and the binding protein-independent systems hydrolyzed ATP with positive cooperativity, suggesting that the two ATP binding sites interact. Vanadate inhibited the ATPase activity of the transport complex with 50% inhibition occurring at 10 µM vanadate. In detergent solution, the degree of cooperativity in the binding protein-independent complex decreased with increasing pH. The loss of cooperativity was accompanied by a decrease in ATPase activity and a decrease in sensitivity to vanadate. Because reconstitution of the complex into a lipid bilayer prevented the loss of cooperativity, we expect that ATP hydrolysis is cooperative in vivo. The mutations leading to binding protein-independent transport do not significantly alter the affinity, cooperativity, vanadate sensitivity, or substrate specificity of the ATP binding sites during hydrolysis. These results justify the use of the binding protein-independent system to investigate the mechanism of transport and hydrolysis.
