As defined by hydropathy analysis, the
membrane-spanning segments of the yeast plasma membrane
H+-ATPase contain seven negatively charged amino acids (Asp
and Glu) and four positively charged amino acids (Arg and His). To explore the functional role of these residues, site-directed mutants at
all 11 positions and at Glu-288, located near the cytoplasmic end of
M3, have been constructed and expressed in yeast secretory vesicles.
Substitutions at four of the positions (Glu-129, Glu-288, Asp-833, and
Arg-857) had no significant effect on ATP hydrolysis or
ATP-dependent proton pumping, substitutions at five
additional positions (Arg-695, His-701, Asp-730, Asp-739, and Arg-811)
led to misfolding of the ATPase and blockage at an early stage of biogenesis, and substitutions of Asp-143 allowed measurable biogenesis but nearly abolished ATP hydrolysis and proton transport. Of greatest interest were mutations of Glu-703 in M5 and Glu-803 in M8, which altered the apparent coupling between hydrolysis and transport. Three
Glu-703 mutants (E703Q, E703L, E703D) showed significantly reduced
pumping over a wide range of hydrolysis values and thus appeared to be
partially uncoupled. At Glu-803, by contrast, one mutant (E803N) was
almost completely uncoupled, while another (E803Q) pumped protons at an
enhanced rate relative to the rate of ATP hydrolysis. Both Glu-703 and
Glu-803 occupy positions at which amino acid substitutions have been
shown to affect transport by mammalian P-ATPases. Taken together, the
results provide growing evidence that residues in membrane segments 5 and 8 of the P-ATPases contribute to the cation transport pathway and
that the fundamental mechanism of transport has been conserved
throughout the group.
