The chicken oviduct ecto-ATP diphosphohydrolase (ATPDase), a member of the ecto-ATPase family, was purified to homogeneity previously (Strobel, R. S., Nagy, A. K., Knowles, A. F., Buegel, J., and Rosenberg, M. O. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 16323-16331). It is an 80-kDa glycoprotein with high specific activity (approximately 1,000 micromol/min/mg with MgATP as the substrate) and hydrolyzes both nucleoside triphosphates and diphosphates. Using amino acid sequence information obtained from the purified enzyme, two partial cDNA clones were obtained using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and library screening. This is the second ecto-ATPase family member and the first ecto-ATPDase to be cloned from information derived from purified proteins. The deduced primary sequence of the chicken oviduct ecto-ATPDase indicates a protein of 493 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 54 kDa. The predicted orientation shows it to be anchored to the membrane by two transmembranous segments near the NH2 and COOH termini with very short intracytoplasmic peptides at either end. The bulk of the protein is extracellular and contains 12 potential N-glycosylation sites, several potential phosphorylation sites, and five sequences that are conserved in seven other related membrane proteins. Four of the conserved sequences, designated as apyrase conserved regions, are present in both ecto-ATPases and soluble E-type ATPases. The fifth conserved region, which occurs near the COOH terminus of the eight proteins, is observed only in the membrane-bound ecto-ATPases. Unexpectedly, sequence comparison revealed that the chicken oviduct ecto-ATPDase is equally distant from the two ecto-ATPases, which exhibit low activity toward ADP, and the four putative ecto-ATPDases, which are closely related to CD39.
