Transmembrane helix 12 modulates progression of the ATP catalytic cycle in ABCB1.
Biochemistry. 2009 Jul 7;48(26):6249-58., 2009-07-07 [PMID:19456124]

Abstract [show]
Multidrug efflux pumps, such as P-glycoprotein (ABCB1), present major barriers to the success of chemotherapy in a number of clinical settings. Molecular details of the multidrug efflux process by ABCB1 remain elusive, in particular, the interdomain communication associated with bioenergetic coupling. The present investigation has focused on the role of transmembrane helix 12 (TM12) in the multidrug efflux process of ABCB1. Cysteine residues were introduced at various positions within TM12, and their effect on ATPase activity, nucleotide binding, and drug interaction were assessed. Mutation of several residues within TM12 perturbed the maximal ATPase activity of ABCB1, and the underlying cause was a reduction in basal (i.e., drug-free) hydrolysis of the nucleotide. Two of the mutations (L976C and F978C) were found to reduce the binding of [gamma-(32)P]-azido-ATP to ABCB1. In contrast, the A980C mutation within TM12 enhanced the rate of ATP hydrolysis; once again, this was due to modified basal activity. Several residues also caused reductions in the potency of stimulation of ATP hydrolysis by nicardipine and vinblastine, although the effects were independent of changes in drug binding per se. Overall, the results indicate that TM12 plays a key role in the progression of the ATP hydrolytic cycle in ABCB1, even in the absence of the transported substrate.

Abstract [show]
Describing the molecular details of the multidrug efflux process of ABCB1, in particular the interdomain communication associated with bioenergetic coupling, continues to prove difficult. A number of investigations to date have implicated transmembrane helix 12 (TM12) in mediating communication between the transmembrane domains and nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) of ABCB1. The present investigation further addressed the role of TM12 in ABCB1 by characterizing its topography during the multidrug efflux process with the use of cysteine-directed mutagenesis. Cysteines were introduced at various positions along TM12 and assessed for their ability to covalently bind thiol-reactive fluorescent probes with differing physiochemical properties. By analysing each isoform in the basal, ATP-bound and posthydrolytic states, it was possible to determine how the local environment of TM12 alters during the catalytic cycle. Labelling with hydrophobic CM and zwitterionic BM was extensive throughout the helix in the basal, prehydrolytic and posthydrolytic states, suggesting that TM12 is in a predominantly hydrophobic environment. Overall, the carboxy region (intracellular half) of TM12 appeared to be more responsive to changes in the catalytic state of the protein than the amino region (extracellular half). Thus, the carboxy region of TM12 is suggested to be responsive to nucleotide binding and hydrolysis at the NBDs and therefore directly involved in interdomain communication. This data can be reconciled with an atomic-scale model of human ABCB1. Taken together, these results indicate that TM12 plays a key role in the progression of the ATP hydrolytic cycle in ABCB1 and, in particular, in coordinating conformational changes between the NBDs and transmembrane domains.

Drug-stimulated ATPase activity of human P-glycoprotein requires movement between transmembrane segments 6 and 12.
J Biol Chem. 1997 Aug 22;272(34):20986-9., 1997-08-22 [PMID:9261097]

Abstract [show]
Transmembrane segments (TM) 6 and 12 are directly connected to the ATP-binding domain in each homologous half of P-glycoprotein and are postulated to be important for drug-protein interactions. Cysteines introduced into TM6 (L332C, F343C, G346C, and P350C) were oxidatively cross-linked to cysteines introduced into TM12 (L975C, M986C, G989C, and S993C, respectively). The pattern of cross-linking was consistent with a left-handed coiled coil arrangement of the two helices. To detect conformational changes between the helices during drug-stimulated ATPase activity, we tested the effects of substrates and ATP on cross-linking. Cyclosporin A, verapamil, vinblastine, and colchicine inhibited cross-linking of mutants F343C/M986C, G346C/G989C, and P350C/S993C. By contrast, ATP promoted cross-linking between only L332C/L975C. Enhanced cross-linking between L332C/L975C was due to ATP hydrolysis, since cross-linked product was not observed in the presence of ATP and vanadate, ADP, ADP and vanadate, or AMP-PNP. Cross-linking between P350C/S993C inhibited verapamil-stimulated ATPase activity by about 75%. Drug-stimulated ATPase activity, however, was fully restored in the presence of dithiothreitol. These results show that TM6 and TM12 undergo different conformational changes upon drug binding or during ATP hydrolysis, and that movement between these two helices is essential for drug-stimulated ATPase activity.

Identification of residues in the drug-binding site of human P-glycoprotein using a thiol-reactive substrate.
J Biol Chem. 1997 Dec 19;272(51):31945-8., 1997-12-19 [PMID:9405384]

Abstract [show]
We identified a thiol-reactive compound, dibromobimane (dBBn), that was a potent stimulator (8.2-fold) of the ATPase activity of Cys-less P-glycoprotein. We then used this compound together with cysteine-scanning mutagenesis to identify residues in transmembrane segment (TM) 6 and TM12 that are important for function. TM6 and TM12 lie close to each other in the tertiary structure and are postulated to be important for drug-protein interactions. The majority of P-glycoprotein mutants containing a single cysteine residue retained substantial amounts of drug-stimulated ATPase activity and were not inhibited by dBBn. The ATPase activities of mutants L339C, A342C, L975C, V982C, and A985C, however, were markedly inhibited (>60%) by dBBn. The drug substrates verapamil, vinblastine, and colchicine protected these mutants against inhibition by dBBn, suggesting that these residues are important for interaction of substrates with P-glycoprotein. We previously showed that residues Leu339, Ala342, Leu975, Val982, and Ala985 lie along the point of contact between helices TM6 and TM12, when both are aligned in a left-handed coiled coil (Loo, T. W., and Clarke, D. M. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 20986-20989). Taken together, these results suggest that the interface between TM6 and TM12 likely forms part of the potential drug-binding pocket in P-glycoprotein.

A new structural model for P-glycoprotein.
J Membr Biol. 1998 Nov 15;166(2):133-47., 1998-11-15 [PMID:9841738]

Abstract [show]
Multidrug resistance to anti-cancer drugs is a major medical problem. Resistance is manifested largely by the product of the human MDR1 gene, P-glycoprotein, an ABC transporter that is an integral membrane protein of 1280 amino acids arranged into two homologous halves, each comprising 6 putative transmembrane alpha-helices and an ATP binding domain. Despite the plethora of data from site-directed, scanning and domain replacement mutagenesis, epitope mapping and photoaffinity labeling, a clear structural model for P-glycoprotein remains largely elusive. In this report, we propose a new model for P-glycoprotein that is supported by the vast body of previous data. The model comprises 2 membrane-embedded 16-strand beta-barrels, attached by short loops to two 6-helix bundles beneath each barrel. Each ATP binding domain contributes 2 beta-strands and 1 alpha-helix to the structure. This model, together with an analysis of the amino acid sequence alignment of P-glycoprotein isoforms, is used to delineate drug binding and translocation sites. We show that the locations of these sites are consistent with mutational, kinetic and labeling data.
