Abstract [show]
Multidrug transporters such as P-glycoprotein require considerable inter-domain communication to couple energy utilization with substrate translocation. Elucidation of the regions or residues involved in these communication pathways is a key step in the eventual molecular description of multidrug transport. We used cysteine-scanning mutagenesis to probe the functional involvement of residues along the cytoplasmic half of transmembrane segment 6 (TM6) and its extension toward the nucleotide binding domain. The mutation of one residue (G346C) in this segment adversely affected drug transport in cells. Further investigation using purified protein revealed that the underlying biochemical effect was a reduction in basal ATP hydrolysis. This G346C mutation also affected the stimulation of ATPase activity in a drug dependent manner but had no effect on drug binding, ATP binding, or ADP release. Homology modeling of P-glycoprotein indicated that the G346C mutation caused a steric interaction between TM5 and TM6, thereby precluding a helical movement required to support ATP hydrolysis.

Abstract [show]
Reduced intracellular drug accumulation due to the activity of the drug efflux pump ABC (B1) is a major mechanism in the resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapy. ABC (B1) is a poly specific transporter, and the molecular mechanism of its complex translocation process remains to be elucidated. To understand the process will require information on the regions involved in drug binding and those that couple this event to nucleotide hydrolysis. The present investigation focuses on the cytosolic region of transmembrane helix 6 (TM6), which has been widely attributed with a central role in the translocation process. A series of ABC (B1) isoforms containing a unique cysteine within TM6 was constructed and the resultant proteins purified and reconstituted. Accessibility of the cysteines to covalent modification by maleimide reagents was measured for the basal, ATP bound and vanadate trapped conformations of each isoform. Residues at the two extremes of the TM6 region examined (amino acids 344 to 360) were considerably more accessible than the central segment, the latter of which also failed to undergo significant conformational changes during the catalytic cycle. Covalent modification of the cytosolic segment of TM6 did, however, attenuate drug stimulation of ATP hydrolysis and demonstrates an important role for this segment in coupling drug binding to ATP hydrolysis during translocation.
