An earlier paper Ii3 1 describes the location of conserved segments of the sequences of ATP-driven cation pumps within different structural domains of the molecule and discusses their evolutionary and functional significance. The basis for the discussion was an alignment of the ATPase sequences which is presented hcrc (Fig. I, pp. 970-97 1). The alignment includes sequences of all P-type cation pumps published up to June l98Y, which show less than 70% identity to any other member of the class. This limits the alignment to one representative of each type, 12 in all 11-12], out of 30 which have been sequenced. The closest similarity shown here is that between the Na+/K+ and H+/K+ pumps (64% identity). The sequence of the latter is b'wen only when it differs from that of the Na+/K+ pump. The sequences are grouped according to their origin from animals, plants, protozoa or bacteria. They are annotated to show regions of high conservation (line 1), hydrophobic transmembrane segments and consensus secondary structure (line 6) and probable domain structure (line 7). The alignment was performed manually, starting with regions of clear identity. This brought most of the long hydrophobic segments into correspondence. The boundaries of these segments were then determined using a polarity plot 1141 in which the window of three residues emphasized short polar interruptions which would block insertion into the membrane. These segments were then brought into line, giving weight both to their position relative to conserved extramembranous segments and to alignment of polar sites within the hydrophobic region. Hydrophobic identities were not highly weighted unless they were part of a conserved run, of which there were very few. Gaps were avoided. Since the aligned hydrophobic segments were usually of the same length, each of the 10 sets of segments was arbitrarily trimmed for convenience of display. Gaps were also kept to a minimum in the cytoplasmic region and their location was restricted as far as possible to regions of loops and bends common to all the sequences. Hydrophobic segments and clearly predicted strands and helices were not interrupted. This did not lead to any significant conflict with alignment of identities.The consensus secondary structure prediction and the conservation scores were based on a preliminary alignment of six sequences. These included the Ca" pump from slow twitch muscle 1141 (not shown), the Na+/K+ pump from Torpedo [IS I (not shown) and four others, the titles of which are underlined in Fig. 1. The same group was used to predict a consensus structure for the nucleotide-binding domain [16]. The Ca?+ pump from plasma membrane contains several large insertions which are written on a separate line to avoid the necessity of renumbering the preliminary alignment. Three long insertions from bacterial pumps and one from Leishrnuniu are also dealt with in this way using lowercase letters. The six sequences, excluding transmembrane segments, were analysed by the method of Garnier et ul. 17 J and the a, p and coil+ turn probabilities were summed automatically. Predicted strands (---> 3 residues) and helices (===> 4 residues) are indicated. Subsequent predictions based on the other sequences were mainly consistent with this consensus.
