P-type (or E1-E2-type) ATPases constitute a superfamily of cation transport enzymes, present both in prokaryota and eukaryota, whose members mediate membrane flux of all common biologically relevant cations[1]. The ATPases, that form an aspartyl phosphate intermediate in the course of ATP hydrolysis, can be divided into 4 major groups[2]:

  • (1) Ca2+-transporting ATPases;
  • (2) Na+/K+- and gastric H+/K+-transporting ATPases;
  • (3) Plasma membrane H+-transporting ATPases (proton pumps) of plants, fungi and lower eukaryotes; and
  • (4) all bacterial P-type ATPases, except the Mg2+-ATPase of Salmonella typhimurium, which is more similar to the eukaryotic sequences.
