title: Does fluorescence of 4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole incorporated into sarcoplasmic reticulum ATPase monitor putative E1-E2 conformational transition?
abstract: When a purified preparation of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2(+)-ATPase was labeled with 0.3 mM 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-Cl) in 1 mM AMPPNP and 1 mM CaCl2 at 25 degrees C and pH 7.0 for 60 min and then was treated with 10 mM dithiothreitol for 7 min, about 1 mol of NBD was incorporated per mol of the enzyme, and this inhibited the enzyme activity by 90 to 95%. The modified residue was identified as Cys-344 that is located near the phosphorylation site of the ATPase, Asp-351. The NBD-inhibition of enzyme activity could be reversed by treatment with membrane-acting agents such as C12E8, suggesting that Cys-344 is not directly involved in enzyme catalysis. A detailed study of partial reactions of ATP hydrolysis by the modified enzyme and associated changes in the fluorescence intensity of the incorporated NBD label revealed that a predominant effect of the NBD-modification was the inhibition of Ca2+ release from the ADP-sensitive phosphoenzyme intermediate and that two major fluorescent states of the enzyme alternated during ATP hydrolysis. The latter fluorescent data are consistent with the E1-E2 model of Ca2(+)-ATPase reaction.
