We report here a novel regulation of the ATPase activity of the human retina specific ATP binding cassette transporter (ABC), ABCR, by nucleotide binding domain interactions. We also present evidence that recombinant nucleotide binding domains of ABCR interact in vitro in the complete absence of transmembrane domains (TMDs). Although similar domain-domain interactions have been described in other ABC transporters, the roles of such interactions on the enzymatic mechanisms of these transporters have not been demonstrated experimentally. A quantitative analysis of the in vitro interactions as a function of the nucleotide-bound state demonstrated that the interaction takes place in the absence of nucleotide as well as in the presence of ATP and that it only attenuates in the ADP-bound state. Analysis of the ATPase activities of these proteins in free and complex states indicated that the NBD1-NBD2 interaction significantly influences the ATPase activity. Further investigation, using site-specific mutants, showed that mutations in NBD2 but not NBD1 led to the alteration of the ATPase activity of the NBD1.NBD2 complex and residue Arg 2038 is critical to this regulation. These data indicate that changes in the oligomeric state of the nucleotide binding domains of ABCR are coupled to ATP hydrolysis and might represent a possible signal for the TMDs of ABCR to export the bound substrate. Furthermore, the data support a mechanistic model in which, upon binding of NBD2, NBD1 binds ATP but does not hydrolyze it or does so with a significantly reduced rate.
