SANS of heavy-metal transporting P-type ATPases
Heavy-metal transporting P-type ATPases move toxic heavy metal ions out of cells. A critical question is how this transport is regulated. Cytoplasmic metal-binding domains (MBD¿s) have been attributed a central role in regulation, but structural information remain scarce. We propose to use SANS to describe the position and conformational freedom of regulating MBD¿s for two heavy-metal transporting P-type ATPases ¿ with specificity for cadmium (CadA) and zinc (ZntA), respectively. We will utilize mutant proteins lacking the MBD¿s, match-out deuterated detergent to avoid scattering contributions from the micelles and ligands to promote specific conformational states. We will use SEC-SANS to collect data with protein aggregation minimized, and for additional liganded conditions we will perform measurements in standard cuvette-mode. To achieve the structural refinement, we will use ensemble optimization combined with molecular dynamics simulations. All in all, these experiments will provide direct structural information on the regulation of heavy metal transport by P-type ATPases.
