Primary structure of the Neurospora plasma membrane H+-ATPase deduced from the gene sequence. Homology to Na+/K+-, Ca2+-, and K+-ATPase.
The gene for the Neurospora crassa plasma membrane H+-ATPase has been cloned and sequenced. The gene encodes for a protein of 920 amino acids with a molecular weight of 100,002. The coding region is interrupted by four introns: three near the amino terminus and one near the carboxyl terminus. The deduced amino acid sequence of the N. crassa plasma membrane H+-ATPase exhibits 75% homology to the amino acid sequence of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae plasma membrane H+-ATPase. Also, an amino acid comparison with the Na+/K+-ATPase from sheep kidney, Ca2+-ATPase from rabbit muscle, and K+-ATPase from Escherichia coli reveals that certain regions are highly conserved and suggest that these regions may serve essential functions which are common to the various cation-motive ATPases. This observation suggests that the phosphorylatable, cation-motive ATPases may function via a similar energy transduction mechanism.
