In the absence of ATP the sarcoplasmic reticulum ATPase (SERCA) binds two Ca2+ with high affinity. The two bound Ca2+ rapidly undergo reverse dissociation upon addition of EGTA, but can be distinguished by isotopic exchange indicating fast exchange at a superficial site ( site II), and retardation of exchange at a deeper site ( site I) by occupancy of site II. Site II mutations that allow high affinity binding to site I, but only low affinity binding to site II, show that retardation of isotopic exchange requires higher Ca2+ concentrations with the N796A mutant, and is not observed with the E309Q mutant even at millimolar Ca2+. Fluoroaluminate forms a complex at the catalytic site yielding stable analogs of the phosphoenzyme intermediate, with properties similar to E2-P or E1-P.Ca2. Mutational analysis indicates that Asp(351), Lys(352), Thr(353), Asp(703), Asn(706), Asp(707), Thr(625), and Lys(684) participate in stabilization of fluoroaluminate and Mg2+ at the phosphorylation site. In the presence of fluoroaluminate and Ca2+, ADP ( or AMP-PCP) favors formation of a stable ADP . E1- P . Ca-2 analog. This produces strong occlusion of Ca2+ bound to both sites ( I and II), whereby dissociation occurs very slowly even following addition of EGTA. Occlusion by fluoraluminate and ADP is not observed with the E309Q mutant, suggesting a gating function of Glu(309) at the mouth of a binding cavity with a single path of entry. This phenomenon corresponds to the earliest step of the catalytic cycle following utilization of ATP. Experiments on limited proteolysis reveal that a long range conformational change, involving displacement of headpiece domains and transmembrane helices, plays a mechanistic role.
