P-glycoprotein. ATP hydrolysis by the N-terminal nucleotide-binding domain.
Two ATP-binding domains are found in members of the family of ATP-dependent transport proteins, which includes P-glycoprotein and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. To investigate the involvement of the two ATP-binding domains in the ATPase activity of P-glycoprotein, full-length and the 5'-half of human MDR1 cDNA, which encodes P-glycoprotein, were fused with the Escherichia coli lacZ gene and expressed in NIH3T3 cells. Immunoprecipitated full-length P-glycoprotein beta-galactosidase showed ATPase activity with apparent specific activity of 180 nmol/mg/min, a value higher than previously reported, in the presence of phospholipids, suggesting that stabilization of the transmembrane domains is necessary for ATP hydrolysis. N-terminal half P-glycoprotein-beta-galactosidase also showed ability to hydrolyze ATP but with slightly lower specific activity. Both ATPase activities showed similar characteristics when the effect of several inhibitors was analyzed, indicating that the N-terminal ATP-binding domain contains all residues necessary to hydrolyze ATP without interacting with the C-terminal ATP-binding domain.
