Abstract

Conditions were found that allowed both the fluorescence detection of vanadate binding to the Ca2+-ATPase of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum and the vanadate-induced formation of two-dimensional arrays of the enzyme. The fluorescence intensity of fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled Ca2+-ATPase increased with high-affinity vanadate binding (Ka = 106M−1) as reported by Pick and Karlish (Pick, U. and Karlish, S.D. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 6120–6126). The Ca2+ and Mg2+ dependencies for high-affinity vanadate binding were similar but not identical to those for orthophosphate. In addition, it was found that there is low-affinity (Ka = 380 M−1) vanadate binding, which causes a 25% decrease in fluorescence. The Ca2+ and Mg2+ dependencies of the low-affinity vanadate binding were different from those of orthophosphate or high-affinity vanadate binding. The covalent attachment of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) in the ATP site of the Ca2+-ATPase did not affect the formation of two-dimensional arrays, as detected by negatively stained electron micrographs. Vanadate concentrations high enough to saturate the low-affinity binding caused two-dimensional arrays as reported by Dux and Martonosi (Dux, L. and Martonosi, A. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 2599–2603). In addition, freeze-fracture replicas of quick-frozen specimens showed rows of indentations in the inner leaflet of the bilayer that corresponds to the arrays seen on the outer leaflet. This appearance of indentations suggests that low-affinity vanadate binding causes a transmembrane movement of the Ca2+-ATPase. By contrast, high-affinity vanadate binding was shown to cause neither array formation nor the appearance of indentations.

      It also suggests that V10 will bind to the calcium pump at the vanadate binding site, but at higher concentrations it will also bind to the nucleotide binding site, as previously found using fluorescence and ESR spectroscopy [63,64]. For monovanadate a kd in the order of μM− 1 was found, [65], using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) fluorescence. The metal:protein ratio of 1:1 described above, was confirmed by applying the Job method, using several metal:protein ratios (not shown: supplementary Fig. 1).

      The fact that decavanadate actually binds to this species is documented by the slight decrease in fluorescence caused by decavanadate addition. This decrease is comparable, in relative terms, to that seen when decavanadate is added to the high fluorescence species (not shown, but see Ref. 30), and is not simply due to absorption of the excitation wavelength by decavanadate. We used [32P]AcP to quantify the amount of covalent phosphoenzyme formed under various conditions.

      Hydrogen bonding of F−with residues at or near the phosphorylation site in the Mg2+·F−·E2 complex likely contributes at least in part to stabilization of such compactly organized domain structure. Orthovanadate, a phosphate analog, binds at the phosphorylation site in the presence of Mg2+ and absence of Ca2+(25-27) and produces a compactly organized conformation, as Mg2+/F− does (6). On the other hand, the Ca2+-ATPase in the presence of Mg2+/vanadate and absence of Ca2+ was reported to be rapidly denatured by C12E8 (8).

      We found that the low fluorescence of this species remained stable in the presence of thapsigargin and decavanadate (Fig.1 a). The decavanadate-induced fast drop in FITC fluorescence (followed by a slower rise, because the added decavanadate also contained trace amounts of orthovanadate) is essentially due to true fluorescence quenching, as also described for non-phosphorylated FITC-labeled ATPase (6). Because the same phosphorylated form can be formed from Piand passively loaded vesicles, at low enough free Ca2+ (4,5), this made it possible to evaluate the stability of the above low fluorescence phosphorylated form on a much longer time scale.

      Similarly, although the formation from Pi of this low fluorescence species was inhibited by thapsigargin, an inhibitor of Ca2+-dependent changes as well as of phosphorylation from Pi (15), once formed, this species was resistant to the addition of thapsigargin (Fig. 2, traces H and I). Addition of orthovanadate to a preformed low fluorescence species brought the fluorescence back to a high level, at a concentration-dependent rate (data not shown), but decavanadate could bind to this species without destabilizing it; about the same relative quenching was observed when decavanadate was added to control FITC-ATPase (16) or to a low fluorescence TG-stabilized FITC-ATPase species formed from AcP (data not shown).2 Traces J–N in Fig. 2 show how formation of the low fluorescence species was influenced by the final free Ca2+ concentration in the medium.
