The P-type ATPases form a large family of more than 50 membrane proteins, which are responsible for the active transport of a variety of cations across cell membranes. Translocation of cations against their electrochemical po-tential gradient is achievedby utilizing the energy of hydrolysis of the terminal phosphate bond of ATP. Phos-phorylation of the aspartic acidin the invariant sequence DKTG during turnover distinguishes P-type ATPases from V-type and F0Fi-ATPases. This article is focused on the structural diversity among P-type ATPases, and it relates the general organization of the P-type ATPasemolecule to the type of transported cation. Structural variations among the ATPases as well as striking differences in the properties of transported cations suggest that details of the molecular mechanisms underlying the translocation of different cations are not identical. Presently little experimental data are available on properties of the majority of the newly discovered ATPases, and it is evident that assumptions regarding commonality in their structures and mechanisms require thorough testing. In particular, we hope to show that current views on structural organization of P-type ATPases require reassessment in order to reconcile the idea of common overall mechanism with their structural diversity.
