3.A.3.5.7
Cu⁺-Ag⁺-ATPase (efflux), CopA of 804 aas. Exhibits maximal activity at 75˚C (Cattoni et al., 2007). The 3-D structure of the ATP-binding domain has been solved (2HC8_A) (functions with the Cu⁺ chaperone, CopZ; 130aas) (González-Guerrero and Argüello, 2008). This protein has both N- and C- terminal metal binding domains (MBDs). The N-MBD exhibits a conserved ferredoxin-like fold, binds metals to CXXC, and regulates turnover. The C-MBD interacts with the ATP-binding (ATPB) domain and the actuator (A) domain (Agarwal et al., 2010). Cysteine is a non-essential activator of CopA, interacting with the cytoplasmic side of the enzyme in the E1 form (Yang et al. 2007).
