My five eurocents to the discussion ...
AMPPNP can also be specifically hydrolyzed by Serca1a, the Sarcoplasmic 
Reticulum Ca2+-ATPase. Such cleavage was proven to be calcium-dependent meaning 
that AMPPNP is used by the ATPase as a genuine substrate although with a very 
slow kinetics compared to what is obtained with the cognate substrate ATP.

Abstract
Sarcoplasmic reticulum ATPase has been found to cleave the ATP analog 
adenyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate in a calcium-dependent reaction. The reaction 
products were determined by 31P NMR to be inorganic phosphate and adenyl-5'-yl 
phosphoramidate (AMP-PN). AMP-PNP hydrolysis, like ATP hydrolysis, drives 
active Ca2+ accumulation by sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles.

This property allowed us to indeed trap and cystallize the protein under an 
AMPPN-bound, phosphoenzyme intermediate, that was proposed to be a fair mimick 
of the so-called E1P (Ca2+).ADP state.

Abstract
The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, a P-type ATPase, has a critical role in 
muscle function and metabolism. Here we present functional studies and three 
new crystal structures of the rabbit skeletal muscle Ca2+-ATPase, representing 
the phosphoenzyme intermediates associated with Ca2+ binding, Ca2+ 
translocation and dephosphorylation, that are based on complexes with a 
functional ATP analogue, beryllium fluoride and aluminium fluoride, 
respectively. The structures complete the cycle of nucleotide binding and 
cation transport of Ca2+-ATPase. Phosphorylation of the enzyme triggers the 
onset of a conformational change that leads to the opening of a luminal exit 
pathway defined by the transmembrane segments M1 through M6, which represent 
the canonical membrane domain of P-type pumps. Ca2+ release is promoted by 
translocation of the M4 helix, exposing Glu 309, Glu 771 and Asn 796 to the 
lumen. The mechanism explains how P-type ATPases are able to form the steep 
electrochemical gradients required for key functions in eukaryotic cells.
