The “A-Protein” paradigmfor (F1-like) mechanical ATPases
• ATP binds at a domain-domain interface.
• The flanking domains act as an ATP-dependent mechanical clamp.
• ATP encapsulation in the interfacial active site drives the mechanochemical “power-stroke” which is closure of the clamp formed by the flanking domains.
• Non-hydrolyzable analogues typically have much lower binding affinity than ATP … and therefore often fail to drive the powerstroke of ATPase motors.
• Same principles apply to at least some non-F1-like mechanical ATPases (definitely GroEL, DnaK/Hsp70, perhaps even myosin).

• Therefore, ATP binding (NOT HYDROLYSIS) drives the mechanochemical powerstroke.Walker A B

Update on E. coli IMP overexpression physiology project
• Expressed 5 IMP’s (4 ABC Transporters, 1 MFS) in MG1655 via pQE60/pRep4 plasmids; compare 2 soluble proteins (enolase & the cytoplasmic domain of one of the ABC Transporters).
• Characterize cell growth rates, morphology +/- membrane stains, transcriptome (via microarray), expression of selected reporter genes (for factors), and protein expression level / physical state.
Funding: NIH R21!
• Expressing cells suffer from “gigantism” -- when expressing either soluble or membrane proteins.
• IMP expressing cells are growth-inhibited -- & toxicity level correlates with amount of detergent solulizable IMP produced.
• Evidence of intracellular lipid-rich inclusions in overexpressing cells, whether or IMP is recoverable.
• No activation of s, E, or Cpx systems (or s32).• ~200 genes reduced in expression -- most shared by soluble proteins &
IMPs, many annotated to be related to acid stress response.• ~50 genes increased in expression -- most specific to IMPs, 45 part of
flagellar biosynthesis / chemotaxis regulon.• ~5 overexpressed genes may be specific for IMP overexpression.
