Abstract
An effective approach to reverse multidrug resistance (MDR) is P-glycoprotein (P-gp, ABCB1) transport inhibition. To identify such molecular regulators, the SuperNatural II database, which comprises > 326,000 compounds, was virtually screened for ABCB1 transporter inhibitors. The Lipinski rule was utilized to initially screen the SuperNatural II database, identifying 128,126 compounds. Those natural compounds were docked against the ABCB1 transporter, and those with docking scores less than zosuquidar (ZQU) inhibitor were subjected to molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Based on MM-GBA binding energy (ΔGbinding) estimations, UMHSN00009999 and UMHSN00097206 demonstrated ΔGbinding values of -68.3 and -64.1 kcal/mol, respectively, compared to ZQU with a ΔGbinding value of -49.8 kcal/mol. For an investigation of stability, structural and energetic analyses for UMHSN00009999- and UMHSN00097206-ABCB1 complexes were performed and proved the high steadiness of these complexes throughout 100 ns MD simulations. Pharmacokinetic properties of the identified compounds were also predicted. To mimic the physiological conditions, MD simulations in POPC membrane surroundings were applied to the UMHSN00009999- and UMHSN00097206-ABCB1 complexes. These results demonstrated that UMHSN00009999 and UMHSN00097206 are promising ABCB1 inhibitors for reversing MDR in cancer and warrant additional in-vitro/in-vivo studies.

Abstract
Multi drug resistance (MDR) in tumor might be caused leading to the overexpression of transporters, such as ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 1 (ABCB1). A combination of non-toxic and potent ABC inhibitors along with conventional anti-cancer drugs is needed to reverse MDR in tumors. A variety of phytochemicals have been previously shown to reverse MDR. Annonaceous acetogenins (AAs) with C35/C37 long-chain fatty acids were reported for their anti-tumor activity, however, their effect on reversing MDR is not yet investigated. We aimed to investigate some selective AAs against the B1 subtype of ABC transporter using computational studies. Various modules of Maestro software were utilized for our in-silico analysis. Few well-characterized AAs were screened for their drug-likeness properties and tested for binding affinity at ATP and drug binding sites of ABCB1 through molecular docking. The stability of the ligand-protein complex (lowest docking score) was then determined by a molecular dynamic (MD) simulation study. Out of 24 AAs, Annonacin A (-8.10 kcal/mol) and Annohexocin (-10.49 kcal/mol) docked with a greater binding affinity at the ATP binding site than the first-generation inhibitor of ABCB1 (Verapamil: -3.86 kcal/mol). MD simulation of Annonacin A: ABCB1 complex for 100 ns also indicated that Annonacin A would stably bind to the ATP binding site. We report that Annonacin A binds at a greater affinity with ABCB1 and might act as a potential drug lead to reverse MDR in tumor cells. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Multi-Drug Resistance (MDR) exerted by tumor cells is majorly due to the overexpression of ATP Binding cassette transporters such as ABCB1/P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Annonaceous acetogenins (AGEs) exert anticancer activity by strongly inhibiting NADH oxidase of cancer cells. The present in silico study aims at screening a potent MDR inhibitor among acetogenins from the plant Annona muricata. Twenty-four AGEs were selected and screened for their pharmacokinetic properties. An inward facing conformation of P-gp is required for understanding the interaction of AGEs at the drug binding region and hence the human P-gp protein was modeled. The selected compounds were then docked with the ATP binding site and the drug binding site of modeled human P-gp. Annonacin A.1, Annohexocin.1 and Annomuricin E.1 docked better with high MM/GBSA dG binding in the drug binding region as compared with the conventional drugs. These compounds had a better docking score as compared with control inhibitor drugs at the ATP binding region. The complexes were subjected to MD simulation and Annonacin A was stable throughout the simulation period. Therefore, Annonacin A might act as a competitive inhibitor for the chemo drugs for binding at the drug binding region of P-gp. Hence it is capable of decreasing the efflux of chemo drugs out of the cells by P-Glycoprotein/ABCB1/MDR1. With this computational study, it is concluded that this compound might potentially reverse MDR, and hence can be taken forward for validation studies.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 6 gene/protein (ABCC6) is an ATP-dependent transmembrane transporter predominantly expressed in the liver and the kidney. ABCC6 first came to attention in human medicine when it was discovered in 2000 that mutations in its encoding gene, ABCC6, caused the autosomal recessive multisystemic mineralization disease pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). Since then, the physiological and pathological roles of ABCC6 have been the subject of intense research. In the last 20 years, significant findings have clarified ABCC6 structure as well as its physiological role in mineralization homeostasis in humans and animal models. Yet, several facets of ABCC6 biology remain currently incompletely understood, ranging from the precise nature of its substrate(s) to the increasingly complex molecular genetics. Nonetheless, advances in our understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms causing mineralization lead to several treatment options being suggested or already tested in pilot clinical trials for ABCC6 deficiency. This review highlights current knowledge of ABCC6 and the challenges ahead, particularly the attempts to translate basic science into clinical practice.

Abstract
One strategy for overcoming infectious diseases caused by drug-resistant fungi involves combining drugs rendered inactive by resistance with agents targeting the drug resistance mechanism. The antifungal activity of n-dodecanol disappears as incubation time passes. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, anethole, a principal component of anise oil, prolongs the transient antifungal effect of dodecanol by downregulating genes of multidrug efflux pumps, mainly PDR5. However, the detailed mechanisms of dodecanol's antifungal action and the anethole-induced prolonged antifungal action of dodecanol are unknown. Screening of S. cerevisiae strains lacking genes related to Ca2+ homeostasis and signaling identified a pmr1Δ strain lacking Golgi Ca2+-ATPase as more sensitive to dodecanol than the parental strain. Dodecanol and the dodecanol + anethole combination significantly increased intracellular Ca2+ levels in both strains, but the mutant failed to clear intracellular Ca2+ accumulation. Further, dodecanol and the drug combination reduced PMR1 expression and did not lead to specific localization of Pmr1p in the parental strain after 4-h treatment. By contrast with the parental strain, dodecanol did not stimulate PDR5 expression in pmr1Δ. Based on these observations, we propose that the antifungal activity of dodecanol is related to intracellular Ca2+ accumulation, possibly dependent on PMR1 function, with anethole enabling Ca2+ accumulation by restricting dodecanol efflux.

Abstract
The ABC transporter Pdr5 of S. cerevisiae is a key player of the PDR network that works as a first line of defense against a wide range of xenobiotic compounds. As the first discovered member of the family of asymmetric PDR ABC transporters, extensive studies have been carried out to elucidate the molecular mechanism of drug efflux and the details of the catalytic cycle. Pdr5 turned out to be an excellent model system to study functional and structural characteristics of asymmetric, uncoupled ABC transporters. However, to date studies have been limited to in vivo or plasma membrane systems, as it was not possible to isolate Pdr5 in a functional state. Here, we describe the solubilization and purification of Pdr5 to homogeneity in a functional state as confirmed by in vitro assays. The ATPase deficient Pdr5 E1036Q mutant was used as a control and proves that detergent-purified wild-type Pdr5 is functional resembling in its activity the one in its physiological environment. Finally, we show that the isolated active Pdr5 is monomeric in solution. Taken together, our results described in this study will enable a variety of functional investigations on Pdr5 required to determine molecular mechanism of this asymmetric ABC transporter.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is the major cause, by which cancer cells expel the drugs out, developing a challenge against the current chemotherapeutic drugs regime. This mechanism is attributed to the over expression of ABC transporters like MRP1 on the surface of cells. Since nucleotide binding domains (NBD) of ABC transporters are the site of ATP binding and hydrolysis, thereby in this study we have targeted NBD1 of MRP1using molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulations (MDS). The compounds present in the FDA approved library were docked against NBD1 of the human multidrug resistance associated protein 1 (PDB ID: 2CBZ). For the docking studies, Standard Precision and Extra Precision methods were employed. After the EP docking studies, ligands showed an extremely low docking score that was indicative of very high binding affinity of the ligands to the NBD. Apart from the low docking score, another short listing criterion in simulation studies was the interaction of incoming ligand with the desired conserved residues of NDB involved in ATP binding and hydrolysis. Based on these measures, potassium citrate (DB09125) and technetium Tc-99m medronate (DB09138) were chosen and subjected to 100 ns simulation studies. From the MDS study we concluded that between these two compounds, potassium citrate is a better candidate for targeting MRP1.

Condensin ATPase motifs contribute differentially to the maintenance of chromosome morphology and genome stability. PLoS Biol 2018; 16:e2003980.

Abstract
Effective transfer of genetic information during cell division requires a major reorganization of chromosome structure. This process is triggered by condensin, a conserved pentameric ATPase essential for chromosome condensation. How condensin harnesses the energy of ATP hydrolysis to promote chromatin reorganization is unknown. To address this issue, we performed a genetic screen specifically focused on the ATPase domain of Smc4, a core subunit of condensin. Our screen identified mutational hotspots that impair condensin’s ability to condense chromosomes to various degrees. These mutations have distinct effects on viability, genome stability, and chromosome morphology, revealing unique thresholds for condensin enzymatic activity in the execution of its cellular functions. Biochemical analyses indicate that inactivation of Smc4 ATPase activity can result in cell lethality because it favors a specific configuration of condensin that locks ATP in the enzyme. Together, our results provide critical insights into the mechanism used by condensin to harness the energy of ATP hydrolysis for the compaction of chromatin. In eukaryotes, the deletion of a single copy of most genes shows little or no detectable phenotype under standard proliferative conditions. This implies that a large reduction in the level of a gene product can be tolerated by eukaryotic organisms and that a “reserve capacity” is built in the protein machinery that drives most cellular processes. Here, we test if the main effector of chromosome condensation—the condensin complex—operates with a reserve enzymatic capacity in the execution of its multiple functions in vivo. To achieve this, we created an allelic series of mutations that selectively inactivate condensin ATPase activity in a graded manner. We show that many core functions of condensin can be maintained even at low levels of ATPase activity. Our data also reveal the existence of various thresholds of ATPase activity that are necessary and sufficient for the execution of different cellular functions by condensin. Notably, loss of genome stability at repetitive DNA is only observed when condensin ATPase activity is severely impaired. Taken together, our results reveal key insights into the process of ATP hydrolysis by condensin and how the energy it releases promotes genome remodeling and stability during cell division.

Abstract
ATP binding cassette type-C (ABCC) transporters move molecules across cell membranes upon hydrolysis of ATP; however, their coupling of ATP hydrolysis to substrate transport remains elusive. Drosophila multidrug resistance-associated protein (DMRP) is the functional ortholog of human long ABCC transporters, with similar substrate and inhibitor specificity, but higher activity. Exploiting its high activity, we kinetically dissected the catalytic mechanism of DMRP by using E2-d-glucuronide (E2G), the physiologic substrate of human ABCC. We examined the DMRP-mediated interdependence of ATP and E2G in biochemical assays. We observed E2G-dependent ATPase activity to be biphasic at subsaturating ATP concentrations, which implies at least 2 E2G binding sites on DMRP. Furthermore, transport measurements indicated strong nonreciprocal cooperativity between ATP and E2G. In addition to confirming these findings, our kinetic modeling with the Complex Pathway Simulator indicated a 10-fold decrease in the E2G-mediated activation of ATP hydrolysis upon saturation of the second E2G binding site. Surprisingly, the binding of the second E2G allowed for substrate transport with a constant rate, which tightly coupled ATP hydrolysis to transport. In summary, we show that the second E2G binding-similar to human ABCC2-allosterically stimulates transport activity of DMRP. Our data suggest that this is achieved by a significant increase in the coupling of ATP hydrolysis to transport.-Karasik, A., Ledwitch, K. V., Arányi, T., Váradi, A., Roberts, A., Szeri, F.

Abstract
TM287/288 is a heterodimeric ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, which harnesses the energy of ATP binding and hydrolysis at the nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) to transport a wide variety of molecules through the transmembrane domains (TMDs) by alternating inward- and outward-facing conformations. Here, we conducted multiple 100 ns molecular dynamics simulations of TM287/288 in different ATP- and substrate-bound states to elucidate the effects of ATP and substrate binding. As a result, the binding of two ATP molecules to the NBDs induced the formation of the consensus ATP-binding pocket (ABP2) or the NBD dimerization, whereas these processes did not occur in the presence of a single ATP molecule or when the protein was in its apo state. Moreover, binding of the substrate to the TMDs enhanced the formation of ABP2 through allosteric TMD-NBD communication. Furthermore, in the apo state, α-helical subdomains of the NBDs approached each other, acquiring a conformation with core half-pockets exposed to the solvent, appropriate for ATP binding. We propose a "core-exposed" model for this novel conformation found in the apo state of ABC transporters. These findings provide important insights into the structural dynamics of ABC transporters.

Abstract
Cohesin tethers together regions of DNA, thereby mediating higher order chromatin organization that is critical for sister chromatid cohesion, DNA repair and transcriptional regulation. Cohesin contains a heterodimeric ATP-binding Cassette (ABC) ATPase comprised of Smc1 and Smc3 ATPase active sites. These ATPases are required for cohesin to bind DNA. Cohesin's DNA binding activity is also promoted by the Eco1 acetyltransferase and inhibited by Wpl1. Recently we showed that after cohesin stably binds DNA, a second step is required for DNA tethering. This second step is also controlled by Eco1 acetylation. Here, we use genetic and biochemical analyses to show that this second DNA tethering step is regulated by cohesin ATPase. Furthermore, our results also suggest that Eco1 promotes cohesion by modulating the ATPase cycle of DNA-bound cohesin in a state that is permissive for DNA tethering and refractory to Wpl1 inhibition.

Abstract
Pdr5 is the founding member of a large subfamily of evolutionarily distinct, clinically important fungal ABC transporters containing a characteristic, deviant ATP-binding site with altered Walker A, Walker B, Signature (C-loop), and Q-loop residues. In contrast to these motifs, the D-loops of the two ATP-binding sites have similar sequences, including a completely conserved aspartate residue. Alanine substitution mutants in the deviant Walker A and Signature motifs retain significant, albeit reduced, ATPase activity and drug resistance. The D-loop residue mutants D340A and D1042A showed a striking reduction in plasma membrane transporter levels. The D1042N mutation localized properly had nearly WT ATPase activity but was defective in transport and was profoundly hypersensitive to Pdr5 substrates. Therefore, there was a strong uncoupling of ATPase activity and drug efflux. Taken together, the properties of the mutants suggest an additional, critical intradomain signaling role for deviant ATP-binding sites.

[PMID: 23122779 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamem.2012.10.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2012] [Revised: 09/19/2012] [Accepted: 10/21/2012] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Understanding the communication pathways between remote sites in proteins is of key importance for understanding their function and mechanism of action. These remain largely unexplored among the pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) representatives of the ubiquitous superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. To identify functionally coupled residues important for the polyspecific transport by the fungal ABC multidrug transporter Cdr1p a new selection strategy, towards increased resistance to a preferred substrate of the homologous Snq2p, was applied to a library of randomly generated mutants. The single amino acid substitutions, located pseudosymmetrically in each domain of the internally duplicated protein: the H-loop of the N-terminal nucleotide binding domain (NBD1) (C363R) and in the C-terminal NBD2 region preceding Walker A (V885G). The central regions of the first transmembrane helices 1 and 7 of both transmembrane domains were also affected by the G521S/D and A1208V substitutions respectively. Although the mutants were expressed at a similar level and located correctly to the plasma membrane, they selectively affected transport of multiple drugs, including azole antifungals. The synergistic effects of combined mutations on drug resistance, drug dependent ATPase activity and transport support the view inferred from the statistical coupling analysis (SCA) of aminoacid coevolution and mutational analysis of other ABC transporter families that these residues are an important part of the conserved, allosterically coupled interdomain communication network. Our results shed new light on the communication between the pseudosymmetrically arranged domains in a fungal PDR ABC transporter and reveal its profound influence on substrate specificity.

Abstract
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters shuttle a wide variety of molecules across cell membranes by alternating between inward- and outward-facing conformations, harnessing the energy of ATP binding and hydrolysis at their nucleotide binding domains (NBDs). Here we present the 2.9-Å crystal structure of the heterodimeric ABC transporter TM287-TM288 (TM287/288) from Thermotoga maritima in its inward-facing state. In contrast to previous studies, we found that the NBDs only partially separate, remaining in contact through an interface involving conserved motifs that connect the two ATP hydrolysis sites. We observed AMP-PNP binding to the degenerate catalytic site, which deviates from the consensus sequence in the same positions as the eukaryotic homologs CFTR and TAP1-TAP2 (TAP1/2). The TM287/288 structure provides unprecedented insights into the mechanism of heterodimeric ABC exporters and will enable future studies on this large transporter superfamily.

Abstract
The DNA mismatch repair protein MutS recognizes mispaired bases in DNA and initiates repair in an ATP-dependent manner. Understanding of the allosteric coupling between DNA mismatch recognition and two asymmetric nucleotide binding sites at opposing sides of the MutS dimer requires identification of the relevant MutS.mmDNA.nucleotide species. Here, we use native mass spectrometry to detect simultaneous DNA mismatch binding and asymmetric nucleotide binding to Escherichia coli MutS. To resolve the small differences between macromolecular species bound to different nucleotides, we developed a likelihood based algorithm capable to deconvolute the observed spectra into individual peaks. The obtained mass resolution resolves simultaneous binding of ADP and AMP.PNP to this ABC ATPase in the absence of DNA. Mismatched DNA regulates the asymmetry in the ATPase sites; we observe a stable DNA-bound state containing a single AMP.PNP cofactor. This is the first direct evidence for such a postulated mismatch repair intermediate, and showcases the potential of native MS analysis in detecting mechanistically relevant reaction intermediates.

Abstract
A full-length cDNA sequence putatively encoding an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter (GintABC1) was isolated from the extraradical mycelia of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices. Bioinformatic analysis of the sequence indicated that GintABC1 encodes a 1513 amino acid polypeptide, containing two six-transmembrane clusters (TMD) intercalated with sequences characteristics of the nucleotide binding domains (NBD) and an extra N-terminus extension (TMD0). GintABC1 presents a predicted TMD0-(TMD-NBD)(2) topology, typical of the multidrug resistance-associated protein subfamily of ABC transporters. Gene expression analyses revealed no difference in the expression levels of GintABC1 in the extra- vs the intraradical mycelia. GintABC1 was up-regulated by Cd and Cu, but not by Zn, suggesting that this transporter might be involved in Cu and Cd detoxification. Paraquat, an oxidative agent, also induced the transcription of GintABC1. These data suggest that redox changes may be involved in the transcriptional regulation of GintABC1 by Cd and Cu.

Abstract
Millions of new cancer patients are diagnosed each year and over half of these patients die from this devastating disease. Thus, cancer causes a major public health problem worldwide. Chemotherapy remains the principal mode to treat many metastatic cancers. However, occurrence of cellular multidrug resistance (MDR) prevents efficient killing of cancer cells, leading to chemotherapeutic treatment failure. Over-expression of ATP-binding cassette transporters, such as P-glycoprotein, breast cancer resistance protein and/or multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1), confers an acquired MDR due to their capabilities of transporting a broad range of chemically diverse anticancer drugs across the cell membrane barrier. In this review, the molecular mechanism of ATP-dependent solute transport by MRP1 will be addressed.

Abstract
AbstractIn order to fulfill their function, membrane transport proteins have to cycle through a number of conformational and/or energetic states. Thus, understanding the role of conformational dynamics seems to be the key for elucidation of the functional mechanism of these proteins. However, membrane proteins in general are often difficult to express heterologously and in sufficient amounts for structural studies. It is especially challenging to trap a stable energy minimum, e.g., for crystallographic analysis. Furthermore, crystallization is often only possible by subjecting the protein to conditions that do not resemble its native environment and crystals can only be snapshots of selected conformational states. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy are complementary methods that offer unique possibilities for studying membrane proteins in their natural membrane environment and for investigating functional conformational changes, lipid interactions, substrate-lipid and substrate-protein interactions, oligomerization states and overall dynamics of membrane transporters. Here, we review recent progress in the field including studies from primary and secondary active transporters.

Abstract
Structural analysis of MRP1-NBD1 revealed that the Walker A S685 forms hydrogen-bond with the Walker B D792 and interacts with magnesium and the beta-phosphate of the bound ATP. We have found that substitution of the D792 with leucine resulted in misfolding of the protein. In this report we tested whether substitution of the S685 with residues that prevent formation of this hydrogen-bond would also cause misfolding. Indeed, substitution of the S685 with residues potentially preventing formation of this hydrogen-bond resulted in misfolding of the protein. In addition, some substitutions that might form hydrogen-bond with D792 also yielded immature protein. All these mutants are temperature-sensitive variants. However, these complex-glycosylated mature mutants prepared from the cells grown at 27 degrees C still significantly affect ATP binding and ATP-dependent solute transport. In contrast, substitution of the S685 with threonine yielded complex-glycosylated mature protein that is more active than the wild-type MRP1, indicating that the interaction between the hydroxyl group of 685 residue and the carboxyl group of D792 plays a crucial role for the protein folding and the interactions of the hydroxyl group at 685 with magnesium and the beta-phosphate of the bound ATP play an important role for ATP-binding and ATP-dependent solute transport.

Abstract
The recently reported structures of the bacterial multidrug exporter Sav1866 suggest a domain architecture in which both nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) of this ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter contact both transmembrane domains (TMDs). Such a domain arrangement is particularly unexpected because it is not found in the structures of three solute importers BtuCD, HI1470/1, and ModBC from the same protein family. There is also no precedent for such an arrangement from biochemical studies with any ABC transporter. Sav1866 is homologous with the clinically relevant human P-glycoprotein (ABCB1). If the structure proposed for Sav1866 is physiologically relevant, the long intracellular loops of P-glycoprotein TMD2 should contact NBD1. We have tested this by using cysteine mutagenesis and chemical cross-linking to verify proximal relationships of the introduced sulfhydryls across the proposed interdomain interface. We report the first biochemical evidence in support of the domain arrangement proposed for the multidrug resistance class of ABC transporters. With a domain arrangement distinctly different from the three solute importers it seems likely that the TMDs of ABC importers and exporters have evolved different mechanisms to couple to common conformational changes at conserved NBDs.

Abstract
Over a million new cases of cancers are diagnosed each year in the United States and over half of these patients die from these devastating diseases. Thus, cancers cause a major public health problem in the United States and worldwide. Chemotherapy remains the principal mode to treat many metastatic cancers. However, occurrence of cellular multidrug resistance (MDR) prevents efficient killing of cancer cells, leading to chemotherapeutic treatment failure. Numerous mechanisms of MDR exist in cancer cells, such as intrinsic or acquired MDR. Overexpression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) drug transporters, such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp or ABCB1), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP or ABCG2) and/or multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP1 or ABCC1), confers an acquired MDR due to their capabilities of transporting a broad range of chemically diverse anticancer drugs. In addition to their roles in MDR, there is substantial evidence suggesting that these drug transporters have functions in tissue defense. Basically, these drug transporters are expressed in tissues important for absorption, such as in lung and gut, and for metabolism and elimination, such as in liver and kidney. In addition, these drug transporters play an important role in maintaining the barrier function of many tissues including blood-brain barrier, blood-cerebral spinal fluid barrier, blood-testis barrier and the maternal-fetal barrier. Thus, these ATP-dependent drug transporters play an important role in the absorption, disposition and elimination of the structurally diverse array of the endobiotics and xenobiotics. In this review, the molecular mechanism of ATP-dependent solute transport by MRP1 will be addressed.

Abstract
ATP binding cassette transporters are ubiquitous integral membrane proteins that actively transport ligands across biological membranes, a process critical for most aspects of cell physiology. These proteins are important clinically and economically. Their dysfunction underlies a number of human genetic diseases, and the ability of some to pump cytotoxic molecules from cells confers resistance to antibiotics, herbicides, and chemotherapeutic drugs. Recent structure analyses interpreted in light of a large body of biochemistry has resulted in the ATP-switch model for function in which the paired nucleotide binding domains switch between an ATP-dependent closed conformation and a nucleotide-free, open conformation to drive the translocation of ligand.

Abstract
MRP1 (ABCC1) is a peculiar member of the ABC transporter superfamily for several aspects. This protein has an unusually broad substrate specificity and is capable of transporting not only a wide variety of neutral hydrophobic compounds, like the MDR1/P-glycoprotein, but also facilitating the extrusion of numerous glutathione, glucuronate, and sulfate conjugates. The transport mechanism of MRP1 is also complex; a composite substrate-binding site permits both cooperativity and competition between various substrates. This versatility and the ubiquitous tissue distribution make this transporter suitable for contributing to various physiological functions, including defense against xenobiotics and endogenous toxic metabolites, leukotriene-mediated inflammatory responses, as well as protection from the toxic effect of oxidative stress. In this paper, we give an overview of the considerable amount of knowledge which has accumulated since the discovery of MRP1 in 1992. We place special emphasis on the structural features essential for function, our recent understanding of the transport mechanism, and the numerous assignments of this transporter.

Abstract
MRP1 couples ATP binding/hydrolysis to solute transport. We have shown that ATP binding to nucleotide-binding-domain 1 (NBD1) plays a regulatory role whereas ATP hydrolysis at NBD2 plays a crucial role in ATP-dependent solute transport. However, how ATP is hydrolyzed at NBD2 is not well elucidated. To partially address this question, we have mutated the histidine residue in H-loop of MRP1 to either a residue that prevents the formation of hydrogen-bonds with ATP and other residues in MRP1 or a residue that may potentially form these hydrogen-bonds. Interestingly, substitution of H827 in NBD1 with residues that prevented formation of these hydrogen-bonds had no effect on the ATP-dependent solute transport whereas corresponding mutations in NBD2 almost abolished the ATP-dependent solute transport completely. In contrast, substitutions of H1486 in H-loop of NBD2 with residues that might potentially form these hydrogen-bonds exerted either full function or partial function, implying that hydrogen-bond formation between the residue at 1486 and the gamma-phosphate of the bound ATP and/or other residues, such as putative catalytic base E1455, together with S769, G771, T1329 and K1333, etc., holds all the components necessary for ATP binding/hydrolysis firmly so that the activated water molecule can efficiently hydrolyze the bound ATP at NBD2.

Abstract
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are ubiquitous integral membrane proteins that facilitate the transbilayer movement of ligands. They comprise, minimally, two transmembrane domains, which impart ligand specificity, and two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs), which power the transport cycle. Almost 25 years of biochemistry is reviewed in light of the recent structure analyses resulting in the ATP-switch model for function in which the NBDs switch between a dimeric conformation, closed around two molecules of ATP, and a nucleotide-free, dimeric 'open' conformation. The flexibility of this switching mechanism has evolved to provide different kinetic control for different transporters and has also been co-opted to diverse functions other than transmembrane transport.

Abstract
Multidrug Resistance Proteins (MRPs), together with the cystic fibrosis conductance regulator (CFTR/ABCC7) and the sulfonylurea receptors (SUR1/ABCC8 and SUR2/ABCC9) comprise the 13 members of the human "C" branch of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) superfamily. All C branch proteins share conserved structural features in their nucleotide binding domains (NBDs) that distinguish them from other ABC proteins. The MRPs can be further divided into two subfamilies "long" (MRP1, -2, -3, -6, and -7) and "short" (MRP4, -5, -8, -9, and -10). The short MRPs have a typical ABC transporter structure with two polytropic membrane spanning domains (MSDs) and two NBDs, while the long MRPs have an additional NH2-terminal MSD. In vitro, the MRPs can collectively confer resistance to natural product drugs and their conjugated metabolites, platinum compounds, folate antimetabolites, nucleoside and nucleotide analogs, arsenical and antimonial oxyanions, peptide-based agents, and, under certain circumstances, alkylating agents. The MRPs are also primary active transporters of other structurally diverse compounds, including glutathione, glucuronide, and sulfate conjugates of a large number of xeno- and endobiotics. In vivo, several MRPs are major contributors to the distribution and elimination of a wide range of both anticancer and non-anticancer drugs and metabolites. In this review, we describe what is known of the structure of the MRPs and the mechanisms by which they recognize and transport their diverse substrates. We also summarize knowledge of their possible physiological functions and evidence that they may be involved in the clinical drug resistance of various forms of cancer.

Abstract
MRP1 (multidrug resistance protein 1) couples ATP binding/hydrolysis at its two non-equivalent NBDs (nucleotide-binding domains) with solute transport. Some of the NBD1 mutants, such as W653C, decreased affinity for ATP at the mutated site, but increased the rate of ATP-dependent solute transport. In contrast, other NBD1 mutants, such as K684L, had decreased ATP binding and rate of solute transport. We now report that mutations of the Walker A lysine residue, K684L and K1333L, significantly alter the tertiary structure of the protein. Due to elimination of the positively charged group and conformational alterations, the K684L mutation greatly decreases the affinity for ATP at the mutated NBD1 and affects ATP binding at the unmutated NBD2. Although K684L-mutated NBD1 can bind ATP at higher concentrations, the bound nucleotide at that site is not efficiently hydrolysed. All these alterations result in decreased ATP-dependent solute transport to approx. 40% of the wild-type. In contrast, the K1333L mutation affects ATP binding and hydrolysis at the mutated NBD2 only, leading to decreased ATP-dependent solute transport to approx. 11% of the wild-type. Consistent with their relative transport activities, the amount of vincristine accumulated in cells is in the order of K1333L> or =CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator)>K684L>>>wild-type MRP1. Although these mutants retain partial solute transport activities, the cells expressing them are not multidrug-resistant owing to inefficient export of the anticancer drugs by these mutants. This indicates that even partial inhibition of transport activity of MRP1 can reverse the multidrug resistance caused by this drug transporter.

Abstract
Lon is an ATP-dependent serine protease that degrades damaged and certain regulatory proteins in vivo. Lon exists as a homo-oligomer and represents one of the simplest ATP-dependent proteases because both the protease and ATPase domains are located within each monomeric subunit. Previous pre-steady-state kinetic studies revealed functional nonequivalency in the ATPase activity of the enzyme [Vineyard, D., et al. (2005) Biochemistry 44, 1671-1682]. Both a high- and low-affinity ATPase site has been previously reported for Lon [Menon, A. S., and Goldberg, A. L. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 14921-14928]. Because of the differing affinities for ATP, we were able to monitor the activities of the sites separately and determine that they were noninteracting. The high-affinity sites hydrolyze ATP very slowly (k(obs) = 0.019 +/- 0.002 s(-1)), while the low-affinity sites hydrolyze ATP quickly at a rate of 17.2 +/- 0.09 s(-1), which is comparable to the previously observed burst rate. Although the high-affinity sites hydrolyze ATP slowly, they support multiple rounds of peptide hydrolysis, indicating that ATP and peptide hydrolysis are not stoichiometrically linked. However, ATP binding and hydrolysis at both the high- and low-affinity sites are necessary for optimal peptide cleavage and the stabilization of the conformational change associated with nucleotide binding.

Abstract
With regard to structure-function relations of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters several intriguing questions are in the spotlight of active research: Why do functional ABC transporters possess two ATP binding and hydrolysis domains together with two ABC signatures and to what extent are the individual nucleotide-binding domains independent or interacting? Where is the substrate-binding site and how is ATP hydrolysis functionally coupled to the transport process itself? Although much progress has been made in the elucidation of the three-dimensional structures of ABC transporters in the last years by several crystallographic studies including novel models for the nucleotide hydrolysis and translocation catalysis, site-directed mutagenesis as well as the identification of natural mutations is still a major tool to evaluate effects of individual amino acids on the overall function of ABC transporters. Apart from alterations in characteristic sequence such as Walker A, Walker B and the ABC signature other parts of ABC proteins were subject to detailed mutagenesis studies including the substrate-binding site or the regulatory domain of CFTR. In this review, we will give a detailed overview of the mutation analysis reported for selected ABC transporters of the ABCB and ABCC subfamilies, namely HsCFTR/ABCC7, HsSUR/ABCC8,9, HsMRP1/ABCC1, HsMRP2/ABCC2, ScYCF1 and P-glycoprotein (Pgp)/MDR1/ABCB1 and their effects on the function of each protein.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance in tumor cells may be caused by reduced drug accumulation resulting from expression of one or more proteins belonging to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily. In addition to their drug efflux properties, certain ABC proteins such as multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1) (ABCC1) mediate the ATP-dependent transport of a broad array of organic anions. The intrinsically photoreactive glutathione-conjugated cysteinyl leukotriene C4 (LTC4) is a high-affinity physiological substrate of MRP1 and is widely regarded as a model compound for evaluating the substrate binding and transport properties of wild-type and mutant forms of the transporter. In the present study, we have optimized high-level expression of recombinant human MRP1 in Pichia pastoris and developed a two-step purification scheme that results in purification of the transporter to >90% homogeneity. Peptide mapping by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time of flight mass spectrometry of the peptides generated by in-gel protease digestions of purified underglycosylated MRP1 identified 96.7% of the MRP1 sequence with >98% coverage of its 17 transmembrane helices. Subsequent comparisons with mass spectra of MRP1 photolabeled with LTC4 identified six candidate LTC4-modified peptide fragments that are consistent with the conclusion that the intracellular juxtamembrane positions of transmembrane helices 6, 7, 10, 17, and a COOH-proximal portion of the cytoplasmic loop that links the first and second membrane spanning domains are part of the LTC4 binding site of the transporter. Our studies confirm the usefulness of mass spectrometry for analysis of mammalian polytopic membrane proteins and for identification of substrate binding sites of human MRP1.

Abstract
MRP1 transports glutathione-S-conjugated solutes in an ATP-dependent manner by utilizing its two NBDs to bind and hydrolyze ATP. We have found that ATP binding to NBD1 plays a regulatory role whereas ATP hydrolysis at NBD2 plays a dominant role in ATP-dependent LTC4 transport. However, whether ATP hydrolysis at NBD1 is required for the transport was not clear. We now report that ATP hydrolysis at NBD1 may not be essential for transport, but that the dissociation of the NBD1-bound nucleotide facilitates ATP-dependent LTC4 transport. These conclusions are supported by the following results. The substitution of the putative catalytic E1455 with a non-acidic residue in NBD2 greatly decreases the ATPase activity of NBD2 and the ATP-dependent LTC4 transport, indicating that E1455 participates in ATP hydrolysis. The mutation of the corresponding D793 residue in NBD1 to a different acidic residue has little effect on ATP-dependent LTC4 transport. The replacement of D793 with a non-acidic residue, such as D793L or D793N, increases the rate of ATP-dependent LTC4 transport. Along with their higher transport activities, their Michaelis constant Kms (ATP) are also higher than that of wild-type. Coincident with their higher Kms (ATP), their Kds derived from ATP binding are also higher than that of wild-type, implying that the rate of dissociation of the bound nucleotide from the mutated NBD1 is faster than that of wild-type. Therefore, regardless of whether the bound ATP at NBD1 is hydrolyzed or not, the release of the bound nucleotide from NBD1 may bring the molecule back to its original conformation and facilitate the protein to start a new cycle of ATP-dependent solute transport.

Abstract
The arsRDABC operon of Escherichia coli plasmid R773 encodes the ArsAB pump that catalyzes extrusion of the metalloids As(III) and Sb(III), conferring metalloid resistance. The catalytic subunit, ArsA, is an ATPase with two homologous halves, A1 and A2, connected by a short linker. Each half contains a nucleotide binding domain. The overall rate of ATP hydrolysis is slow in the absence of metalloid and is accelerated by metalloid binding. The results of photolabeling of ArsA with the ATP analogue 8-azidoadenosine 5'-[alpha-(32)P]-triphosphate at 4 degrees C indicate that metalloid stimulation correlates with a >10-fold increase in affinity for nucleotide. To investigate the relative contributions of the two nucleotide binding domains to catalysis, a thrombin site was introduced in the linker. This allowed discrimination between incorporation of labeled nucleotides into the two halves of ArsA. The results indicate that both the A1 and A2 nucleotide binding domains bind and hydrolyze trinucleotide, even in the absence of metalloid. Sb(III) increases the affinity of the A1 nucleotide binding domain to a greater extent than the A2 nucleotide binding domain. The ATP analogue labeled with (32)P at the gamma position was used to measure hydrolysis of trinucleotide at 37 degrees C. Under these catalytic conditions, both nucleotide binding domains hydrolyze ATP, but hydrolysis in A1 is stimulated to a greater degree by Sb(III) than A2. These results suggest that the two homologous halves of the ArsA may be functionally nonequivalent.

Abstract
The human ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporter MRP1 (human multidrug-resistance-associated protein 1; ABCC1) is involved in the cellular extrusion of conjugated metabolites and causes multidrug resistance in tumour cells. The transport of substrate molecules by ABC proteins is energized by ATP hydrolysis, performed by two co-operating ABC units. Orthovanadate (Vi), a non-covalent inhibitor of the ABC ATPases, was found to catalyse a photo-oxidative cleavage of various ATP-binding proteins. In the present study, we have identified three Vi-cleavage sites within MRP1, and found that the cleavage reactions were variably modulated by the presence of nucleotides and by transported substrates. We concluded that Vi cleavage of MRP1 at Site I detects conformational changes due to the binding of MgATP. In contrast, Site II could be identified as part of the substrate-modulated catalytic cycle, probably containing an MRP1.MgADP.Vi transition-state-like complex. Cleavage at Site III was modulated by both the binding and hydrolysis of MgATP, in a biphasic pattern, which was also affected by the presence of transported substrates. We detected two different allosteric effects and found that they control two consecutive steps of the MRP1 ATPase catalytic cycle. Nucleotide binding to the low-affinity site accelerated the formation of the pre-hydrolytic intermediate in the other catalytic centre. Interaction of the transporter with its transported substrates stimulated a later reaction of the hydrolytic cycle, the formation of the post-hydrolytic intermediate, which could be detected in both catalytic sites by the experimental strategy used.

Abstract
The ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter, multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1/ABCC1), transports a broad spectrum of conjugated and unconjugated compounds, including natural product chemotherapeutic agents. In this study, we have investigated the importance of the COOH-terminal region of MRP1 for transport activity and basolateral plasma membrane trafficking. The COOH-terminal regions of some ABCC proteins have been implicated in protein trafficking, but the function of this region of MRP1 has not been defined. In contrast to results obtained with other ABCC proteins, we found that the COOH-proximal 30 amino acids of MRP1 can be removed without affecting trafficking to basolateral membranes. However, the truncated protein is inactive. Furthermore, removal of as few as 4 COOH-terminal amino acids profoundly decreases transport activity. Although amino acid sequence conservation of the COOH-terminal regions of ABC proteins is low, secondary structure predictions indicate that they consist of a broadly conserved helix-sheet-sheet-helix-helix structure. Consistent with a conservation of secondary and tertiary structure, MRP1 hybrids containing the COOH-terminal regions of either the homologous MRP2 or the distantly related P-glycoprotein were fully active and trafficked normally. Using mutated proteins, we have identified structural elements containing five conserved hydrophobic amino acids that are required for activity. We show that these are important for binding and hydrolysis of ATP by nucleotide binding domain 2. Based on crystal structures of several ABC proteins, we suggest that the conserved amino acids may stabilize a helical bundle formed by the COOH-terminal three helices and may contribute to interactions between the COOH-terminal region and the protein's two nucleotide binding domains.

Abstract
ABC transporters mediate active translocation of a diverse range of molecules across all cell membranes. They comprise two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) and two transmembrane domains (TMDs). Recent biochemical, structural and genetic studies have led to the ATP-switch model in which ATP binding and ATP hydrolysis, respectively, induce formation and dissociation of an NBD dimer. This provides an exquisitely regulated switch that induces conformational changes in the TMDs to mediate membrane transport.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance protein 4 (MRP4/ABCC4), transports cyclic nucleoside monophosphates, nucleoside analog drugs, chemotherapeutic agents, and prostaglandins. In this study we characterize ATP hydrolysis by human MRP4 expressed in insect cells. MRP4 hydrolyzes ATP (Km, 0.62 mm), which is inhibited by orthovanadate and beryllium fluoride. However, unlike ATPase activity of P-glycoprotein, which is equally sensitive to both inhibitors, MRP4-ATPase is more sensitive to beryllium fluoride than to orthovanadate. 8-Azido[alpha-32P]ATP binds to MRP4 (concentration for half-maximal binding approximately 3 microm) and is displaced by ATP or by its non-hydrolyzable analog AMPPNP (concentrations for half-maximal inhibition of 13.3 and 308 microm). MRP4 substrates, the prostaglandins E1 and E2, stimulate ATP hydrolysis 2- to 3-fold but do not affect the Km for ATP. Several other substrates, azidothymidine, 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine, and methotrexate do not stimulate ATP hydrolysis but inhibit prostaglandin E2-stimulated ATP hydrolysis. Although both post-hydrolysis transition states MRP4.8-azido[alpha-32P]ADP.Vi and MRP4.8-azido[alpha-32P]ADP.beryllium fluoride can be generated, nucleotide trapping is approximately 4-fold higher with beryllium fluoride. The divalent cations Mg2+ and Mn2+ support comparable levels of nucleotide binding, hydrolysis, and trapping. However, Co2+ increases 8-azido[alpha-32P]ATP binding and beryllium fluoride-induced 8-azido[alpha-32P]ADP trapping but does not support steady-state ATP hydrolysis. ADP inhibits basal and prostaglandin E2-stimulated ATP hydrolysis (concentrations for half-maximal inhibition 0.19 and 0.25 mm, respectively) and beryllium fluoride-induced 8-azido[alpha-32P]ADP trapping, whereas Pi has no effect up to 20 mm. In aggregate, our results demonstrate that MRP4 exhibits substrate-stimulated ATP hydrolysis, and we propose a kinetic scheme suggesting that ADP release from the post-hydrolysis transition state may be the rate-limiting step during the catalytic cycle.

Abstract
Structural analyses of several bacterial ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters indicate that an aromatic amino acid residue in a nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) interacts with the adenine ring of the bound ATP and contributes to the ATP binding. Substitution of this aromatic residue with a polar serine residue in bacterial histidine transporter completely abolished both ATP binding and ATP-dependent histidine transport. However, substitution of the aromatic amino acid residue in the human cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator with a polar cysteine residue did not have any effect on the ATP-dependent chloride channel function of the protein. To determine whether the other eucaryotic ABC transporters use the strategy analogous to that in some bacterial ABC transporters, the aromatic Trp653 residue in NBD1 and the Tyr1302 residue in NBD2 of human multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) was mutated to either a different aromatic residue or a polar cysteine residue. Substitution of the aromatic residue with a different aromatic amino acid, such as W653Y or Y1302W, did not affect ATP-dependent leukotriene C4 (LTC4) transport. In contrast, substitution of the aromatic residue with a polar cysteine residue, such as W653C or Y1302C, decreased the affinity for ATP, resulting in greatly increased Kd values for ATP binding or Km values for ATP in ATP-dependent LTC4 transport. Interestingly, although substitution of the aromatic Trp653 in NBD1 of MRP1 with a polar cysteine residue greatly decreases the affinity for ATP, the ATP-dependent LTC4 transport activities are much higher than that of wild-type MRP1, supporting our hypothesis that the increased release rate of the bound ATP from the mutated NBD1 facilitates the protein to start a new cycle of ATP-dependent solute transport.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1/ABCC1) is an ATP-binding cassette transporter that confers resistance to drugs and mediates the transport of organic anions. MRP1 has a core structure of two membrane spanning domains (MSDs) each followed by a nucleotide binding domain. This core structure is preceded by a third MSD with five transmembrane (TM) helices, whereas MSD2 and MSD3 each contain six TM helices. We investigated the consequences of Ala substitution of 18 Pro residues in both the non-membrane and TM regions of MSD2 and MSD3 on MRP1 expression and organic anion transport function. All MRP1-Pro mutants except P1113A were expressed in human embryonic kidney cells at levels comparable with wild-type MRP1. In addition, five mutants containing substitutions of Pro residues in or proximal to the TM helices of MSD2 (TM6-Pro(343), TM8-Pro(448), TM10-Pro(557), and TM11-Pro(595)) and MSD3 (TM14-Pro(1088)) exhibited significantly reduced transport of five organic anion substrates. In contrast, mutation of Pro(1150) in the cytoplasmic loop (CL7) linking TM15 to TM16 caused a substantial increase in 17beta-estradiol-17-beta-(D-glucuronide) and methotrexate transport, whereas transport of other organic anions was reduced or unchanged. Significant substrate-specific changes in the ATP dependence of transport and binding by the P1150A mutant were also observed. Our findings demonstrate the importance of TM6, TM8, TM10, TM11, and TM14 in MRP1 transport function and suggest that CL7 may play a differential role in coupling the activity of the nucleotide binding domains to the translocation of different substrates across the membrane.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1/ABCC1) is a human ATP-binding cassette transporter that confers cell resistance to antitumour drugs. Its NBDs (nucleotide-binding domains) bind/hydrolyse ATP, a key step in the activation of MRP1 function. To relate its intrinsic functional features to the mechanism of action of the full-size transporter, we expressed the N-terminal NBD1 domain (Asn(642) to Ser(871)) in Escherichia coli. NBD1 was highly purified under native conditions and was characterized as a soluble monomer. (15)N-labelling allowed recording of the first two-dimensional NMR spectra of this domain. The NMR study showed that NBD1 was folded, and that Trp(653) was a key residue in the NBD1-ATP interaction. Thus, interaction of NBD1 with ATP/ADP was studied by intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence. The affinity for ATP and ADP were in the same range (K (d(ATP))=118 microM and K (d(ADP))=139 microM). Binding of nucleotides did not influence the monomeric state of NBD1. The ATPase activity of NBD1 was magnesium-dependent and very low [V (max) and K (m) values of 5x10(-5) pmol of ATP x (pmol NBD1)(-1) x s(-1) and 833 microM ATP respectively]. The present study suggests that NBD1 has a low contribution to the ATPase activity of full-length MRP1 and/or that this activity requires NBD1-NBD2 heterodimer formation.
