Abstract [show]
The P-glycoprotein drug pump protects us from toxins. Drug-binding sites in the transmembrane (TM) domains (TMDs) are connected to the nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) by intracellular helices (IHs). TMD-NBD cross-talk is a key step in the transport mechanism because drug binding stimulates ATP hydrolysis followed by drug efflux. Here, we tested whether the IHs are critical for maturation and TMD-NBD coupling by characterizing the effects of mutations to the IH1 and IH2 interfaces. Although IH1 mutations had little effect, most mutations at the IH2-NBD2 interface inhibited maturation or activity. For example, the F1086A mutation at the IH2-NBD2 interface abolished drug-stimulated ATPase activity. The mutant F1086A, however, retained the ability to bind ATP and drug substrates. The mutant was defective in mediating ATP-dependent conformational changes in the TMDs because binding of ATP no longer promoted cross-linking between cysteines located at the extracellular ends of TM segments 6 and 12. Replacement of Phe-1086 (in NBD2) with hydrophobic but not charged residues yielded active mutants. The activity of the F1086A mutant could be restored when the nearby residue Ala-266 (in IH2) was replaced with aromatic residues. These results suggest that Ala-266/Phe-1086 lies in a hydrophobic IH2-NBD2 "ball-and-socket" joint.

97 Mutants A259L and A266L were similar to wild-type P-gp as the 170-kDa mature protein was by far the most prominent product. Login to comment
