Multiple roles of charged amino acids in cytoplasmic loop 7 for expression and function of the multidrug and organic anion transporter MRP1 (ABCC1).
Mol Pharmacol. 2009 Feb;75(2):397-406. Epub 2008 Nov 17., [PMID:19015228]

Abstract [show]
Multidrug resistance protein MRP1 mediates the ATP-dependent efflux of many chemotherapeutic agents and organic anions. MRP1 has two nucleotide binding sites (NBSs) and three membrane spanning domains (MSDs) containing 17 transmembrane helices linked by extracellular and cytoplasmic loops (CL). Homology models suggest that CL7 (amino acids 1141-1195) is in a position where it could participate in signaling between the MSDs and NBSs during the transport process. We have individually replaced eight charged residues in CL7 with Ala, and in some cases, an amino acid with the same charge, and then investigated the effects on MRP1 expression, transport activity, and nucleotide and substrate interactions. A triple mutant in which Glu(1169), Glu(1170), and Glu(1172) were all replaced with Ala was also examined. The properties of R1173A and E1184A were comparable with those of wild-type MRP1, whereas the remaining mutants were either poorly expressed (R1166A, D1183A) or exhibited reduced transport of one or more organic anions (E1144A, D1179A, K1181A, (1169)AAQA). Same charge mutant D1183E was also not expressed, whereas expression and activity of R1166K were similar to wild-type MRP1. The moderate substrate-selective changes in transport activity displayed by mutants E1144A, D1179A, K1181A, and (1169)AAQA were accompanied by changes in orthovanadate-induced trapping of [alpha-(32)P]azidoADP by NBS2 indicating changes in ATP hydrolysis or release of ADP. In the case of E1144A, estradiol glucuronide no longer inhibited trapping of azidoADP. Together, our results demonstrate the extreme sensitivity of CL7 to mutation, consistent with its critical and complex dual role in both the proper folding and transport activity of MRP1.

59 Mutations were first generated in the pGEM-3Z-XmaI/MRP1 plasmid according to the manufacturer`s instructions with the following mutagenic primers (Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc., Coralville, IA), which also introduced an additional restriction site (substituted nucleotides are underlined): E1144A (5Ј-G AAG CGC CTC GCG TCG GTC AGC-3Ј); R1166A (5Ј C AGC GTC ATT GCA GCA TTC GAG GAG CAG-3Ј); R1166K (5Ј C AGC GTC ATT AAG GCC TTC GAG G-3Ј); 1169 EEQE-1169 AAQA (5Ј-C ATT CGA GCC TTC GCG GCA CAG GCA CGC TTC ATC C-3Ј); R1173A (5Ј-C GAG GAG CAG GAG GCA TTC ATC CAC CAG AG-3Ј); D1179A (5Ј-C CAC CAG AGT GCC CTT AAG GTG GAC G-3Ј), K1181A (5Ј-G AGT GAC CTG GCA GTC GAC GAG AAC C-3Ј); D1183A (5Ј-CTG AAG GTG GCC GAG AAC CAG-3Ј); D1183E (5Ј- CTG AAG GTG GAA GAG AAC CAG-3Ј); and E1184A (5Ј-GT GAC CTG AAG GTA GAC GCG AAC CAG AAG GCC-3Ј).

120 These experiments showed that two of the Ala-substituted mutants (R1166A and D1183A) were consistently expressed at very low levels (10-20% of wild-type MRP1) (Fig. 2A). Login to comment
124 Confocal microscopy of intact HEK cells using the MRP1-specific mAb QCRL-3 showed that despite their low expression levels, at least a portion of the R1166A and D1183A mutant proteins were correctly routed to the plasma mem- brane (not shown). Login to comment
126 However, even at the lower temperature, expression of the R1166A and D1183A mutants remained substantially below that of wild-type MRP1; furthermore, plasma membrane routing of the mutants as well as wild-type MRP1 was impaired (data not shown). Login to comment
138 A, immunoblot of whole cell lysates (10 ␮g of protein) prepared from HEK 293T cells transfected with wild-type (WT-MRP1), and R1166A and D1183A mutant MRP1 expression vectors. Login to comment
140 MRP1 levels in whole-cell lysates were detected with mAb QCRL-1, and the relative protein expression levels are shown under the blot and were estimated by densitometry as described under Materials and Methods. B, immunoblots of whole-cell lysates (10 ␮g of protein) prepared from HEK 293T cells transfected with R1166A/K and D1183A/E mutant and wild-type (WT) MRP1 cDNA expression vectors. MRP1 proteins were detected with mAb QCRL-1 and lysates of untransfected cells were included as a negative control as above. Login to comment
192 The remaining five single mutants were either poorly expressed (R1166A, D1183A) (Fig. 2) or exhibited significantly reduced transport levels of one or more organic anions (E1144A, D1179A, K1181A) (Table 1). Login to comment
194 The poor expression of the R1166A and D1183A mutants indicates that Arg1166 and Asp1183 contribute to the stability of MRP1, probably by influencing the proper folding of the transporter during its biosynthesis. Login to comment
199 Elucidation of the post-translational events leading to poor expression of R1166A and D1183A and other low or nonexpressing MRP1 mutants is currently under investigation. Login to comment
201 Our observation that the same-charge D1183E mutant was as poorly expressed at the plasma membrane as the neutrally substituted D1183A is somewhat unexpected, because previously identified expression impaired mutants involving charged residues have typically not exhibited this property (Haimeur et al., 2004; Situ et al., 2004).

244 Unlike the R1166A and D1183A mutants, the second group of functionally altered single Ala-substituted mutants (E1144A, D1179A, K1181A) and the 1169 AAQA triple mutant were all expressed at levels comparable with or greater than that of wild-type MRP1 (Fig. 4). Login to comment

Structural and functional properties of human multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1/ABCC1).

Abstract [show]
Multidrug ABC transporters such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp/MDR1/ABCB1) and multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1/ABCC1) play an important role in the extrusion of drugs from the cell and their overexpression can be a cause of failure of anticancer and antimicrobial chemotherapy. Recently, the mouse P-gp/Abcb1a structure has been determined and this has significantly enhanced our understanding of the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of mammalian ABC transporters. This paper highlights our current knowledge on the structural and functional properties and the SAR of human MRP1/ABCC1. Although the crystal structure of MRP1/ABCC1 has yet to be resolved, the current topological model of MRP1/ABCC1 contains two transmembrane domains (TMD1 and TMD2) each followed by a nucleotide binding domain (NBD) plus a third NH2-terminal TMD0. MRP1/ABCC1 is expressed in the liver, kidney, intestine, brain and other tissues. MRP1/ABCC1 transports a structurally diverse array of important endogenous substances (e.g. leukotrienes and estrogen conjugates) and xenobiotics and their metabolites, including various conjugates, anticancer drugs, heavy metals, organic anions and lipids. Cells that highly express MRP1/ABCC1 confer resistance to a variety of natural product anticancer drugs such as vinca alkaloids (e.g. vincristine), anthracyclines (e.g. etoposide) and epipodophyllotoxins (e.g. doxorubicin and mitoxantrone). MRP1/ABCC1 is associated with tumor resistance which is often caused by an increased efflux and decreased intracellular accumulation of natural product anticancer drugs and other anticancer agents. However, most compounds that efficiently reverse P-gp/ABCB1-mediated multidrug resistance have only low affinity for MRP1/ABCC1 and there are only a few effective and relatively specific MRP1/ABCC1 inhibitors available. A number of site-directed mutagenesis studies, biophysical and photolabeling studies, SAR and QSAR, molecular docking and homology modeling studies have documented the role of multiple residues in determining the substrate specificity and inhibitor selectivity of MRP1/ABCC1. Most of these residues are located in the TMs of TMD1 and TMD2, in particular TMs 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 14, 16, and 17, or in close proximity to the membrane/cytosol interface of MRP1/ABCC1. The exact transporting mechanism of MRP1/ABCC1 is unclear. MRP1/ABCC1 and other multidrug transporters are front-line mediators of drug resistance in cancers and represent important therapeutic targets in future chemotherapy. The crystal structure of human MRP1/ABCC1 is expected to be resolved in the near future and this will provide an insight into the SAR of MRP1/ABCC1 and allow for rational design of anticancer drugs and potent and selective MRP1/ABCC1 inhibitors.
