The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase is essential for calcium reuptake in the muscle contraction-relaxation cycle. Here we present structures of a calcium-free state with bound cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) and magnesium fluoride at 2.65 angstrom resolution and a calcium-free state with bound CPA and ADP at 3.4 angstrom resolution. In both structures, CPA occupies the calcium access channel delimited by transmembrane segments M1-M4. Inhibition of Ca2+-ATPase is stabilized by a polar pocket that surrounds the tetramic acid of CPA and a hydrophobic platform that cradles the inhibitor. The calcium pump residues involved include Gln(56), Leu(61), Val(62), and Asn(101). We conclude that CPA inhibits the calcium pump by blocking the calcium access channel and immobilizing a subset of transmembrane helices. In the E2(CPA) structure, ADP is bound in a distinct orientation within the nucleotide binding pocket. The adenine ring is sandwiched between Arg(489) of the nucleotide-binding domain and Arg(678) of the phosphorylation domain. This mode of binding conforms to an adenine recognition motif commonly found in ATP-dependent proteins.
