9 Results Eight distinct ABCB4 mutations were identified: one nonsense, one splicing and six missense mutations, four of which (G68R, T201M, P479L, D459H) affected MDR3 expression level. Login to comment
10 G68R and D459H also led to retention of the protein in endoplasmic reticulum. Login to comment
42 Plasmids and site-directed mutagenesis The plasmid pReceiver-M02-MDR3, containing the full open reading frame of ABCB4 (Capital Biosciences, Rockville, Maryland, USA) was used as a template for introducing the substitutions G68R, T201M, P352L, D459H, S978P and E1118K, by site-directed mutagenesis using the QuickChange II system (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, California, USA).

111 By contrast, mutations G68R and D459H resulted in intracellular retention of the protein, with predominant localisation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), as revealed by colocalisation with the ER marker calnexin (figure 2). Login to comment

128 By contrast, expression levels of mutants G68R and D459H were markedly decreased (15% and 20% of wild-type, respectively), consistent with the fact that ER retention usually leads to a premature degradation of the proteins.32 T201M and P479L mutations also caused a significant reduction in the expression of MDR3 (60% and 65% of wild-type, respectively).

142 The same pattern was obtained with mutants G68R and D459H (data not shown), consistent with their absence of expression at the plasma membrane. Login to comment
158 We found that changes G68R and D459H caused a marked reduction in MDR3 expression with an accompanying retention of the protein in the ER. Login to comment
