The present study was undertaken to investigate the Ca2+binding properties of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase after removal of the cytoplasmic regions by treatment with proteinase K. One of the proteolysis cleavage sites (at the end of M6) was found unexpectedly close to the predicted membrane-water interphase, but otherwise the cleavage pattern was consistent with the presence of 10 transmembrane ATPase segments. C-terminal membranous peptides containing the putative transmembrane segments M7 to M10 accumulated after prolonged proteolysis, as well as large water-soluble fragments containing most of the phosphorylation and ATP-binding domain. Ca2+binding was intact after cleavage of the polypeptide chain in the N-terminal region, but cuts at other locations disrupted the high affinity binding and sequential dissociation properties characteristic of native sarcoplasmic reticulum, leaving the translocation sites with only weak affinity for Ca2+. High affinity Ca2+binding could only be maintained when proteolysis and subsequent manipulations took place in the presence of a Ca2+concentration high enough to ensure permanent occupation of the binding sites with Ca2+. We conclude that in the absence of Ca2+, the complex of membrane-spanning segments in proteolyzed Ca2+-ATPase is labile, probably because of relatively free movement or rearrangement of individual segments. Our study, which is discussed in relation to results obtained on Na+,K+-ATPase and H+,K+-ATPase, emphasizes the importance of the cytosolic segments of the main polypeptide chain in exerting constraints on the intramembranous domain of a P-type ATPase. |
