An unusual conformation from Na+-sensitive non-gastric proton pump mutants reveals molecular mechanisms of cooperative Na+-binding

The Na+,K+-ATPase (NKA) and non-gastric H+,K+- ATPase (ngHKA) share ~65 % sequence identity, and nearly identical catalytic cycles. These pumps alternate between inward-facing (E1) and outward-facing (E2) conformations and differ in their exported substrate (Na+ or H+) and stoichiometries (3 Na+:2 K+ or 1 H+:1 K+). We reported that structures of the NKA-mimetic ngHKA mutant K794S/A797P/W940/R949C (SPWC) with 2 K+ occluded in E2-Pi and 3 Na+-bound in E1·ATP states were nearly identical to NKA structures in equivalent states. Here we report the cryo-EM structures of K794A and K794S, two poorly-selective ngHKA mutants, under conditions to stabilize the E1·ATP state. Unexpectedly, the structures show a hybrid with both E1- and E2-like structural features. While transmembrane segments TM1-TM3 and TM4's extracellular half adopted an E2-like conformation, the rest of the protein assumed an E1 configuration. Two spherical densities, likely bound Na+, were observed at cation-binding sites I and III, without density at site II. This explains the E2-like conformation of TM4's exoplasmic half. In NKA, oxygen atoms derived from the unwound portion of TM4 coordinated Na+ at site II. Thus, the lack of Na+ at site II of K794A/S prevents the luminal portion of TM4 from taking an E1-like position. The K794A structure also suggests that incomplete coordination of Na+ at site III induces the halfway rotation of TM6, which impairs Na+-binding at the site II. Thus, our observations provide insight into the molecular mechanism of E2-E1 transition and cooperative Na+-binding in the NKA and other related cation pumps.
