Structure, 22:209-217, 2014 Cited by PubMed Abstract: The mitochondrial carriers play essential roles in energy metabolism. The short Ca²⁺-binding mitochondrial carrier (SCaMC) transports ATP-Mg in exchange for Pi and is important for activities that depend on adenine nucleotides. SCaMC adopts, in addition to the transmembrane domain (TMD) that transports solutes, an extramembrane N-terminal domain (NTD) that regulates solute transport in a Ca²⁺-dependent manner. Crystal structure of the Ca²⁺-bound NTD reveals a compact architecture in which the functional EF hands are sequestered by an endogenous helical segment. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation rates indicated that removal of Ca²⁺ from NTD results in a major conformational switch from the rigid and compact Ca²⁺-bound state to the dynamic and loose apo state. Finally, we showed using surface plasmon resonance and NMR titration experiments that free apo NTDs could specifically interact with liposome-incorporated TMD, but that Ca²⁺ binding drastically weakened the interaction. Our results together provide a molecular explanation for Ca²⁺-dependent ATP-Mg flux in mitochondria. PubMed: 24332718DOI: 10.1016/j.str.2013.10.018 PDB entries with the same primary citation |
