Plastic recognition and electrogenic uniport translocation of 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-row transition and post-transition metals by primary-active transmembrane P1B-2-type ATPase pumps.


ABSTRACT: Transmembrane P1B-type ATPase pumps catalyze the extrusion of transition metal ions across cellular lipid membranes to maintain essential cellular metal homeostasis and detoxify toxic metals. Zn(ii)-pumps of the P1B-2-type subclass, in addition to Zn2+, select diverse metals (Pb2+, Cd2+ and Hg2+) at their transmembrane binding site and feature promiscuous metal-dependent ATP hydrolysis in the presence of these metals. Yet, a comprehensive understanding of the transport of these metals, their relative translocation rates, and transport mechanism remain elusive. We developed a platform for the characterization of primary-active Zn(ii)-pumps in proteoliposomes to study metal selectivity, translocation events and transport mecha
