This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Copper is required for the activity of many enzymes involved in respiration, neuron function, formation of connective tissue, endocrine processes, and radical detoxification in the human body. Wilson disease ATPase and Menkes disease ATPase regulate copper concentration in the cell and deliver copper to biosynthetic pathways. These proteins are targets of many mutations that cause severe metabolic disorders. Importantly, Wilson and Menkes ATPases are involved in cancer resistance to platinum- based chemotherapeutic drugs. To understand the critical steps in the activity cycle of the copper ATPases, we will investigate the structure, molecular motions and interactions of the isolated domains, or functional modules, of the Wilson and Menkes proteins using multidimensional Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), a technique uniquely suited for studying protein structure and dynamics in solution. We will trace the sequence of molecular events involved in substrate binding by copper-transporting ATPases and analyze the structural basis of several frequent disease causing mutations. To trace the pathway of copper in Wilson and Menkes disease ATPases, we will attempt to map the copper-binding site in the cell membrane. This work is expected to improve the understanding of an important class of transport proteins and provide a new insight into the molecular basis of the disorders of copper metabolism. Structures of the individual domains of Wilson and Menkes ATPase will facilitate design of the new inhibitors and modulators of these enzymes, which may help to overcome certain types of drug resistance in cancer.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 铜是人体呼吸、神经元功能、结缔组织形成、内分泌过程和自由基解毒等许多酶的活性所必需的。 Wilson病ATP酶和Menkes病ATP酶调节细胞中的铜浓度并将铜递送到生物合成途径。 这些蛋白质是导致严重代谢紊乱的许多突变的靶点。重要的是，Wilson和Menkes ATP酶参与了癌症对铂类化疗药物的耐药性。为了了解铜ATP酶活性循环中的关键步骤，我们将使用多维核磁共振（NMR）研究Wilson和Menkes蛋白质的孤立结构域或功能模块的结构，分子运动和相互作用，这是一种独特的适合于研究蛋白质结构和动力学的技术。我们将追踪铜转运ATP酶参与底物结合的分子事件序列，并分析几种常见致病突变的结构基础。 为了追踪铜在威尔逊和门克斯病ATP酶中的途径，我们将尝试绘制细胞膜中的铜结合位点。这项工作有望提高对一类重要的转运蛋白的理解，并为铜代谢紊乱的分子基础提供新的见解。 Wilson和Menkes ATP酶的各个结构域的结构将有助于设计这些酶的新抑制剂和调节剂，这可能有助于克服癌症中某些类型的耐药性。
