lüll Review ATP hydrolysis-driven gating in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator Muallem D; Vergani PPhilos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 2009[Jan]; 364 (1514): 247-55Proteins belonging to the ATP-binding cassette superfamily couple ATP binding and hydrolysis at conserved nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) to diverse cellular functions. Most superfamily members are transporters, while cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), alone, is an ion channel. Despite this functional difference, recent results have suggested that CFTR shares a common molecular mechanism with other members. ATP binds to partial binding sites on the surface of the two NBDs, which then associate to form a NBD dimer, with complete composite catalytic sites now buried at the interface. ATP hydrolysis and gamma-phosphate dissociation, with the loss of molecular contacts linking the two sides of the composite site, trigger dimer dissociation. The conformational signals generated by NBD dimer formation and dissociation are transmitted to the transmembrane domains where, in transporters, they drive the cycle of conformational changes that translocate the substrate across the membrane; in CFTR, they result in opening and closing (gating) of the ion-permeation pathway.|Adenosine Triphosphatases/metabolism[MESH]|Adenosine Triphosphate/*metabolism[MESH]|Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator/*chemistry/*metabolism[MESH]|Hydrolysis[MESH]|Ion Channel Gating/*physiology[MESH]|Protein Structure, Tertiary[MESH] |
