| Abstract | The transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) comprises two subunits, TAP1 and TAP2, each containing a hydrophobic membrane-spanning region (MSR) and a nucleotide binding domain (NBD). The TAP1/TAP2 complex is required for peptide translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. To understand the role of each structural unit of the TAP1/TAP2 complex, we generated two chimeras containing TAP1 MSR and TAP2 NBD (T1MT2C) or TAP2 MSR and TAP1 NBD (T2MT1C). We show that TAP1/T2MT1C, TAP2/T1MT2C, and T1MT2C/T2MT1C complexes bind peptide with an affinity comparable to wild-type complexes. By contrast, TAP1/T1MT2C and TAP2/T2MT1C complexes, although observed, are impaired for peptide binding. Thus, the MSRs of both TAP1 and TAP2 are required for binding peptide. However, neither NBD contains unique determinants required for peptide binding. The NBD-switched complexes, T1MT2C/T2MT1C, TAP1/T2MT1C, and TAP2/T1MT2C, all translocate peptides, but with progressively reduced efficiencies relative to the TAP1/TAP2 complex. These results indicate that both nucleotide binding sites are catalytically active and support an alternating catalytic sites model for the TAP transport cycle, similar to that proposed for P-glycoprotein. The enhanced translocation efficiency of TAP1/T2MT1C relative to TAP2/T1MT2C complexes correlates with enhanced binding of the TAP1 NBD-containing constructs to ATP-agarose beads. Preferential ATP interaction with TAP1, if occurring in vivo, might polarize the transport cycle such that ATP binding to TAP1 initiates the cycle. However, our observations that TAP complexes containing two identical TAP NBDs can mediate translocation indicate that distinct properties of the nucleotide binding site per se are not essential for the TAP catalytic cycle. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
