Abstract [show]
ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporters are clinically important because drug pumps like P-glycoprotein (P-gp, ABCB1) confer multidrug resistance and mutant ABC proteins are responsible for many protein-folding diseases such as cystic fibrosis. Identification of the tariquidar-binding site has been the subject of intensive molecular modeling studies because it is the most potent inhibitor and corrector of P-gp. Tariquidar is a unique P-gp inhibitor because it locks the pump in a conformation that blocks drug efflux but activates ATPase activity. In silico docking studies have identified several potential tariquidar-binding sites. Here, we show through cross-linking studies that tariquidar most likely binds to sites within the transmembrane (TM) segments located in one wing or at the interface between the two wings (12 TM segments form 2 divergent wings). We then introduced arginine residues at all positions in the 12 TM segments (223 mutants) of P-gp. The rationale was that a charged residue in the drug-binding pocket would disrupt hydrophobic interaction with tariquidar and inhibit its ability to rescue processing mutants or stimulate ATPase activity. Arginines introduced at 30 positions significantly inhibited tariquidar rescue of a processing mutant and activation of ATPase activity. The results suggest that tariquidar binds to a site within the drug-binding pocket at the interface between the TM segments of both structural wings. Tariquidar differed from other drug substrates, however, as it stabilized the first TM domain. Stabilization of the first TM domain appears to be a key mechanism for high efficiency rescue of ABC processing mutants that cause disease.

188 These were in TM7 (Q725R, F728R, and F732R) (Fig. 6A), TM10 (V865R, I868R, and G872R) (Fig. 6D), TM11 (F942R, T945R, Q946R, M949R, Y950R, and Y953R) (Fig. 6E), and TM12 (L975R, F978R, and V982R) (Fig. 6F). Login to comment
194 The other 12 mutants in TM1 (F72R), TM5 (Y307R and Y310R), TM6 (F336R and F343R), TM7 (F732R), TM10 (V865R), TM11 (M949R, Y950R, S952R, and Y953R), and TM12 (L975R and F978R) were not rescued by cyclosporine A (Fig. 7). Login to comment
283 We identified 13 additional arginine mutations (H61R, G64R, L65R, and M68R in TM1; A129R in TM2; I306R and S309R in TM5; F343R in TM6; F942R, T945R, Q946R, and Y950R in TM11; and L975R in TM12) (Fig. 11A) that were not predicted to lie within 4.5-&#c5; of the predicted site 3 tariquidar-binding site (9).

313 Therefore, arginines predicted to lie outside of the tariquidar-binding site in TM1 and TM11 in the docking studies (H61R, G64R, L65R, and M68 in TM1; F942R, T945R, Q946R, and Y950R in TM11) might alter interactions between TM1 and TM11. Login to comment
