4 Single mutations to leucine (T402L) or arginine (T402R) did not have a significant impact on the ABCG2 protein. Login to comment
5 On the other hand, combining the T402 mutations with the GXXXG glycine to leucine mutations (T402L/ G406L/G410L and T402R/G406L/G410L) resulted in a substantially reduced level of expression, altered glycosylation, degradation by a proteosome-independent pathway, and partial retention in the endoplasmic reticulum as suggested by immunostaining, Endo H sensitivity, and MG132 and bafilomycin failed effect.

7 The T402R/G406L/G410L mutant carrying the more drastic substitution was found to primarily localize intracellularly. Login to comment
45 The T402L, T402R, T402L/ G406L/G410L, and T402R/G406L/G410L mutants were generated by site-directed mutagenesis in the pcDNA3.1/Myc-HisA(-) vector (Invitrogen) as previously described (19). Login to comment
92 To study the potential role of this threonine in ABCG2 dimerization, we performed substitutions with a leucine (T402L) or arginine (T402R) substitution or combined these substitutions with the glycine to leucine mutations at the GXXXG motif (T402L/ G406L/G410L and T402R/G406L/G410L) followed by stable transfections in HEK 293 cells.

94 We expected the T402R substitution to be a more drastic substitution on the basis of the change in both size and polarity. Login to comment
101 The T402L and T402R mutants exhibited levels comparable to the control (R482G), while the double (G406L/G410L) and triple mutants (T402L/G406L/G410L and T402R/G406L/G410L) had significantly decreased levels. Login to comment
103 In the case of T402R/G406L/G410L, the lower band comprised the majority of the detected protein. Login to comment
106 As shown in the first column of Figure 1B, the control (R482G) and the T402L and T402R mutants displayed similar levels of surface expression. Login to comment
108 In the T402R/G406L/G410L triple mutant, only a slight shift between the negative control(solid line) and the 5D3-labeled histograms (dashed line) was present. Login to comment
122 As expected, no change in molecular mass was observed in the control, T402L, or T402R after Endo H digestion (Figure 2A), since Endo H resistance is consistent with a fully mature glycoprotein. Login to comment
130 (A) Cell lysates from stably transfected HEK 293 cells (20 μg for R482G, T402L, and T402R and 60 μg for G406L/G410L, T402L/G406L/G410L, and T402R/G406L/G410L) were separated via SDS-PAGE, transferred onto a PVDF membrane, and probed with monoclonal anti-ABCG2 antibody BXP-21. Login to comment
135 On the other hand, the protein level of the control, T402R, and T402L proteins increased more than 2-fold when cells were treated with bafilomycin, consistent with a previous report that fully processed ABCG2 undergoes lysosomal degradation as part of the protein turnover (33). Login to comment
136 In contrast, the protein levels of the G406L/G410L, T402L/G406L/G410L, and T402R/G406L/ G410L mutants were little affected by bafilomycin treatment (Figure 3). Login to comment
142 In the case of the control, T402L, and T402R proteins, no significant differences between the MX-treated and untreated samples were observed (Figure 4A). Login to comment
145 The average percent of mutant protein detected in the lower and upper bands with and without MX is presented in Figure 4B. Notably, the results obtained with the arginine triple mutant (T402R/G406L/G410L) revealed little shift of the lower band, consistent with a more profound defect. Login to comment
147 No change was observed in the mainly plasma membrane staining for the control, T402L, and T402R proteins after treatment with MX by confocal microscopy (Figure 5). Login to comment
149 In contrast, after treatment with MX, the T402R/G406L/G410L mutant still primarily displayed intracellular localization. Login to comment
152 In contrast, the lower-molecular mass form of the T402R/G406L/G410L mutant, which did not shift to the upper 72 kDa band in the presence of MX, was still sensitive to digestion with Endo H (Figure 6B). Login to comment

178 To evaluate the extended TXXXGXXXG motif in ABCG2, we substituted threonine 402 with arginine, since it had a greater impact on the protein relative to leucine (as suggested by the differences observed in localization and ability to be rescued by MX). Login to comment
179 Figure 8B shows that the TM carrying the T402R mutation had CAT activity comparable to that of wild-type ABCG2 TM1. Login to comment
180 In contrast, G406L/G410L and T402R/G406L/G410L demonstrated an approximately 50% or more decrease in their CAT activity, implying impaired dimerization of these mutant TMs. Login to comment
196 After overnight incubation with or without 5 μM MX, cells were harvested, and the lysates were subjected to overnight digestion with Endo H followed by immunoblot analysis with the BXP-21 antibody [(A) 35 μg for R482G, T402R, and T402L and (B) 70 μg for the double and triple mutants].

229 Although the substitution with the larger positively charged arginine was expected to be an unfavorable change in the membrane environment and likely to disrupt the association of the transmembrane helices, the T402R mutant appeared on the cell surface and is capable of efflux. Login to comment
233 Our results with the ABCG2 triple mutants carrying the threonine 402 to leucine or arginine substitutions (T402R/ G406L/G410L and T402R/G406L/G410L) are consistent with destabilization of the homodimer. Login to comment

264 Likewise, T402R also exhibited significantly lower activities compared with wild-type BCRP. Login to comment
265 Interestingly, efflux activities of T402R were further decreased compared with T402A, suggesting that Arg substitution of Thr402 caused a greater effect on BCRP function than Ala substitution, possibly due to more drastic changes in both size and polarity at position 402. Login to comment
