1 Here, we study the accessibility of the fluorescein covalently attached to the Lys515 at the nucleotide binding domain of the ATPase to the small collisional quencher iodide at pH 6 and 8, as well as the effect of ligand binding (La3+, La(3+)-nucleotide, and Ca2+).

2 Our results indicate that bound fluorescein is significantly more accessible at pH 6 than at pH 8, suggesting that pH modulates the structure of the nucleotide binding domain of the ATPase. Fluorescein dynein axonemal heavy chain 8 Homo sapiens
3 Notably, the differential accessibility of the nucleotide binding domain at acidic and basic pH cannot be rationalized in terms of the ATPase E1/E2 conformational equilibrium since a shift of the ATPase toward the E1 (plus Ca2+) or E2 (plus EGTA) did not affect the accessibility of fluorescein-labeled ATPase to the quencher.
