Abstract
Due to the high prevalence of cancer, progress in the management of cancer is the need of the hour. Most cancer patients develop chemotherapeutic drug resistance, and many remain insidious due to overexpression of Multidrug Resistance Protein 1 (MDR1), also known as Permeability-glycoprotein (P-gp) or ABCB1 transporter (ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1). P-gp, a transmembrane protein that protects vital organs from outside chemicals, expels medications from malignant cells. The blood-brain barrier (BBB), gastrointestinal tract (GIT), kidneys, liver, pancreas, and cancer cells overexpress P-gp on their apical surfaces, making treatment inefficient and resistant. Compounds that compete with anticancer medicines for transportation or directly inhibit P-gp may overcome biological barriers. Developing nanotechnology-based formulations may help overcome P-gp-mediated efflux and improve bioavailability and cell chemotherapeutic agent accumulation. Nanocarriers transport pharmaceuticals via receptor-mediated endocytosis, unlike passive diffusion, which bypasses ABCB1. Anticancer drugs and P-gp inhibitors in nanocarriers may synergistically increase drug accumulation and chemotherapeutic agent toxicity. The projection of desirable binding and effect may be procured initially by molecular docking of the inhibitor with P-gp, enabling the reduction of preliminary trials in formulation development. Here, P-gp-mediated efflux and several possible outcomes to overcome the problems associated with currently prevalent cancer treatments are highlighted.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase XII (CAXII) is a membrane-tethered ectoenzyme involved in intracellular pH regulation and overexpressed across various types of human cancer. Because CAXII inhibition shows antitumor activity in vitro, it is thought that the enzyme is mandatory for maximum tumor growth, above all under hypoxic conditions. Recently, it has been shown that CAXII is co-expressed along with the P-glycoprotein (P-GP) on many tumor cells and that both proteins physically interact. Of interest, blocking CAXII activity also decreases P-GP activity in cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. Previously, we have reported on the development of a monoclonal antibody, termed 6A10, which specifically and efficiently blocks human CAXII activity. Here, we demonstrate that 6A10 also indirectly reduces P-GP activity in CAXII/P-GP double-positive chemoresistant cancer cells, resulting in enhanced chemosensitivity as revealed by enhanced accumulation of anthracyclines and increased cell death in vitro. Even more important, we show that mice carrying human triple-negative breast cancer xenografts co-treated with doxorubicin (DOX) and 6A10 show a significantly reduced number of metastases. Collectively, our data provide evidence that the inhibition of CAXII with 6A10 is an attractive way to reduce chemoresistance of cancer cells and to interfere with the metastatic process in a clinical setting.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an ATP-dependent drug pump that protects us from toxic agents and confers multidrug resistance. It has a tweezer-like structure with each arm consisting of a transmembrane domain (TMD) and a nucleotide-binding domain (NBD). Drug substrates bind to sites within the TMDs to activate ATPase activity by promoting a tweezer-like closing of the gap between the NBDs. The catalytic carboxylates may be critical for NBD movements because the E556Q(NBD1) or E1201Q(NBD2) mutation inhibited drug-stimulated ATPase activity. If the catalytic carboxylates were components of the mechanism to bring the NBDs together, then we predicted that insertion of a flexible cross-linker between the arms would increase ATPase activity of the mutants. We found that cross-linking (between L175C(TMD1) and N820C(TMD2)) with a short flexible cross-linker (7.8Å maximum) restored high levels of drug-stimulated ATPase activity of the E556Q or E1201Q mutants. Cross-linking with a longer cross-linker (22Å maximum) however, did not restore activity. Cross-linking could not rescue all ATPase deficient mutants. For example, cross-linking L175C/N820C with short or long cross-linkers did not activate the H-loop mutants H587A or H1232A or the Walker A K433M or K1076M mutants. The results suggest that the E556 and E1201 catalytic carboxylates are part of a spring-like mechanism that is required to facilitate movements between the open and closed conformations of P-gp during ATP hydrolysis.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is regarded as one of the bottlenecks of successful clinical treatment for numerous chemotherapeutic agents. Multiple key regulators are alleged to be responsible for MDR and making the treatment regimens ineffective. In this review, we discuss MDR in relation to P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and its down-regulation by natural bioactive molecules. P-gp, a unique ATP-dependent membrane transport protein, is one of those key regulators which are present in the lining of the colon, endothelial cells of the blood brain barrier (BBB), bile duct, adrenal gland, kidney tubules, small intestine, pancreatic ducts and in many other tissues like heart, lungs, spleen, skeletal muscles, etc. Due to its diverse tissue distribution, P-gp is a novel protective barrier to stop the intake of xenobiotics into the human body. Over-expression of P-gp leads to decreased intracellular accretion of many chemotherapeutic agents thus assisting in the development of MDR. Eventually, the effectiveness of these drugs is decreased. P-gp inhibitors act by altering intracellular ATP levels which are the source of energy and/or by affecting membrane contours to increase permeability. However, the use of synthetic inhibitors is known to cause serious toxicities. For this reason, the search for more potent and less toxic P-gp inhibitors of natural origin is underway. The present review aims to recapitulate the research findings on bioactive constituents of natural origin with P-gp inhibition characteristics. Natural bioactive constituents with P-gp modulating effects offer great potential for semi-synthetic modification to produce new scaffolds which could serve as valuable investigative tools to recognize the function of complex ABC transporters apart from evading the systemic toxicities shown by synthetic counterparts. Despite the many published scientific findings encompassing P-gp inhibitors, however, this article stand alones because it provides a vivid picture to the readers pertaining to Pgp inhibitors obtained from natural sources coupled with their mode of action and structures. It provides first-hand information to the scientists working in the field of drug discovery to further synthesise and discover new P-gp inhibitors with less toxicity and more efficacies.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an ABC (ATP-Binding Cassette) drug pump that is clinically important because it confers multidrug resistance. Drugs bind at the interface between the transmembrane domains to activate ATPase activity at the two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs). Drug transport involves ATP-dependent conformational changes between inward- (open, NBDs far apart) and outward-facing (closed, NBDs close together) conformations. Recently, it was reported that the conserved glutamines residues (Gln475 in NBD1 and Gln1118 in NBD2) in the Q loops of P-gp when mutated to alanine completely inhibited the drug-stimulated ATPase activity. It is unknown why the glutamine residues (Gln475 and Gln1118) in the Q loops of the NBDs of P-gp are required for drug-stimulated ATPase activity. Here we show that introduction of these mutations into the L175C/N820C mutant (L175C/N820C/Q475A/Q1118A) also abolished drug-stimulated ATPase activity. The ATPase activity was restored however, when the L175C/N820C/Q475A/Q1118A mutant was cross-linked with a flexible disulfide cross-linker. These results suggest that both Q-loop glutamines are not required for ATP hydrolysis and they might function as part of a spring-like mechanism in facilitating the open (inactive) to closed (active) conformational change during ATP hydrolysis. The molecular spring-like action of the Q-loop glutamines during drug-stimulated ATPase activity is likely mimicked by the attachment of the flexible cross-linker.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp; ABCB1) is an ABC drug pump that protects us from toxic compounds. It is clinically important because it confers multidrug resistance. The homologous halves of P-gp each contain a transmembrane (TM) domain (TMD) with 6 TM segments followed by a nucleotide-binding domain (NBD). The drug- and ATP-binding sites reside at the interface between the TMDs and NBDs, respectively. Each NBD is connected to the TMDs by a transmission interface involving a pair of intracellular loops (ICLs) that form ball-and-socket joints. P-gp is different from CFTR (ABCC7) in that deleting NBD2 causes misprocessing of only P-gp. Therefore, NBD2 might be critical for stabilizing ICLs 2 and 3 that form a tetrahelix bundle at the NBD2 interface. Here we report that the NBD1 and NBD2 transmission interfaces in P-gp are asymmetric. Point mutations to 25 of 60 ICL2/ICL3 residues at the NBD2 transmission interface severely reduced P-gp assembly while changes to the equivalent residues in ICL1/ICL4 at the NBD1 interface had little effect. The hydrophobic nature at the transmission interfaces was also different. Mutation of Phe-1086 or Tyr-1087 to arginine at the NBD2 socket blocked activity or assembly while the equivalent mutations at the NBD1 socket had only modest effects. The results suggest that the NBD transmission interfaces are asymmetric. In contrast to the ICL2/3-NBD2 interface, the ICL1/4-NBD1 transmission interface is more hydrophilic and insensitive to mutations. Therefore the ICL2/3-NBD2 transmission interface forms a precise hydrophobic connection that acts as a linchpin for assembly and trafficking of P-gp.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an ATP-binding cassette drug pump that protects us from toxic compounds and confers multidrug resistance. The protein is organized into two halves. The halves contain a transmembrane domain (TMD) with six transmembrane segments and a nucleotide-binding domain (NBD). The drug- and ATP-binding sites reside at the TMD1/TMD2 and NBD1/NBD2 interfaces, respectively. ATP-dependent drug efflux involves changes between the open inward-facing (NBDs apart, extracellular loops (ECLs) close together) and the closed outward-facing (NBDs close together, ECLs apart) conformations. It is controversial, however, whether the open conformation only exists transiently in intact cells because of the presence of high levels of ATP. To test for the presence of an open conformation in intact cells, reporter cysteines were placed in extracellular loops 1 (A80C, N half) and 4 (R741C, C half). The rationale was that cysteines A80C/R741C would only come close enough to form a disulfide bond in an open conformation (6.9 Å apart) because they are separated widely (30.4 Å apart) in the closed conformation. It was observed that the mutant A80C/R741C cross-linked spontaneously (>90%) when expressed in cells. In contrast to previous reports showing that trapping P-gp in a closed conformation highly activated ATPase activity, here we show that A80C/R741C cross-linking inhibited ATPase activity and drug efflux. Both activities were restored when the cross-linked mutant was treated with a thiol-reducing agent. The results show that an open conformation can be readily detected in cells and that cross-linking of cysteines placed in ECLs 1 and 4 inhibits activity.

The polarization of the G-protein activated potassium channel GIRK5 to the vegetal pole of Xenopus laevis oocytes is driven by a di-leucine motif. PLoS One 2013; 8:e64096.

Abstract
The G protein-coupled inwardly-rectifying potassium channels (known as GIRK or Kir3) form functional heterotetramers gated by G-βγ subunits. GIRK channels participate in heart rate modulation and neuronal postsynaptic inhibition in mammals. In Xenopus laevis oocytes, GIRK5 is a functional homomultimer. Previously, we found that phosphorylation of a tyrosine (Y16) at its N-terminus downregulates the surface expression of GIRK5. In this work, we elucidated the subcellular localization and trafficking of GIRK5 in oocytes. Several EGFP-GIRK5 chimeras were produced and an ECFP construct was used to identify the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Whereas GIRK5-WT was retained in the ER at the animal pole, the phospho-null GIRK5-Y16A was localized to the vegetal pole. Interestingly, a construct with an N-terminal Δ25 deletion produced an even distribution of the channel in the whole oocyte. Through an alanine-scan, we identified an acidic cluster/di-leucine sorting-signal recognition motif between E17 and I22. We quantified the effect of each amino acid residue within this di-leucine motif in determining the distribution of GIRK5 to the animal and vegetal poles. We found that Y16 and I22 contributed to functional expression and were dominant in the polarization of GIRK5. We thus conclude that the N-terminal acidic di-leucine motif of GIRK5 determines its retention and polarized trafficking within Xl oocytes.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Human gastric cancer is a big public health problem. Multidrug resistance is a main obstacle to successful chemotherapeutic treatment in gastric cancers and the underlying mechanism is not clear. Glycosylation, one of the most important post translational modifications of proteins, plays a vital role in diverse aspects of tumor progression. In the present study, we applied two multidrug resistance cell lines and their parental drug sensitive gastric cancer cell line to a modified cell surface capturing strategy with triplex labeling to characterize MDR related cell surface glycoproteome. Finally, 56 cell membrane glycoproteins were successfully identified via combination of identification by glycopeptides and quantitation by non-glycopeptides, and 11 of them were found to be differentially expressed with the same trend in both drug resistant cell lines compared with that in sensitive cell line. The further analysis by western blot and in vitro drug sensitivity assay demonstrated that our approach is reliable and accurate and suggested that these glycoproteins may represent as biomarkers for multidrug resistance in gastric cancer. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE In this study, we performed a cell surface glycoproteomics research of multidrug resistance in gastric cancer using a modified CSC approach. Totally we identified and quantified 11 membrane N-glycoproteins which were significantly changed in MDR gastric cancer cells. These glycoproteins are quite possible to be biomarkers for predicting MDR or key regulators for targeted therapy, and are also helpful for better interpreting the sophisticated mechanisms of MDR in gastric cancer. In addition to that, this approach used in this study can be well applied to screen aberrantly glycosylated biomarkers associated with other malignant phenotypes of various kinds of cancers.

Abstract
Synaptic adhesion-like molecules (SALMs) are a family of cell adhesion molecules involved in neurite outgrowth and synapse formation. Of the five family members, only SALM1, -2, and -3 contain a cytoplasmic C-terminal PDZ-binding motif. We have found that SALM1 is unique among the SALMs because deletion of its PDZ-binding motif (SALM1ΔPDZ) blocks its surface expression in heterologous cells. When expressed in hippocampal neurons, SALM1ΔPDZ had decreased surface expression in dendrites and the cell soma but not in axons, suggesting that the PDZ-binding domain may influence cellular trafficking of SALMs to specific neuronal locations. Endoglycosidase H digestion assays indicated that SALM1ΔPDZ is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in heterologous cells. However, when the entire C-terminal tail of SALM1 was deleted, SALM1 was detected on the cell surface. Using serial deletions, we identified a region of SALM1 that contains a putative dileucine ER retention motif, which is not present in the other SALMs. Mutation of this DXXXLL motif allowed SALM1 to leave the ER and enhanced its surface expression in heterologous cells and neurons. An increase in the number of protrusions at the dendrites and cell body was observed when this SALM1 mutant was expressed in hippocampal neurons. With electron microscopy, these protrusions appeared to be irregular, enlarged spines and filopodia. Thus, enrichment of SALM1 on the cell surface affects dendritic arborization, and intracellular motifs regulate its dendritic versus axonal localization.

Abstract
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins contain two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) and two transmembrane (TM) domains (TMDs). Interdomain interactions and packing of the TM segments are critical for function, and disruption by genetic mutations contributes to disease. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a useful model to identify mechanisms that repair processing defects because numerous arginine suppressor mutations have been identified in the TM segments. Here, we tested the prediction that a mechanism of arginine rescue was to promote intradomain interactions between TM segments and restore interdomain assembly. We found that suppressor W232R(TM4/TMD1) rescued mutants with processing mutations in any domain and restored defective NBD1-NBD2, NBD1-TMD2, and TMD1-TMD2 interactions. W232R also promoted packing of the TM segments because it rescued a truncation mutant lacking both NBDs. The mechanism of W232R rescue likely involved intradomain hydrogen bond interactions with Asn296(TM5) since only N296A abolished rescue by W232R and rescue was only observed when Trp232 was replaced with hydrogen-bonding residues. In TMD2, suppressor T945R(TM11) also promoted packing of the TM segments because it rescued the truncation mutant lacking the NBDs and suppressed formation of alternative topologies. We propose that T945R rescue was mediated by interactions with Glu875(TM10) since T945E/E875R promoted maturation while T945R/E875A did not.

Disrupted plasma membrane localization and loss of function reveal regions of human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 involved in structural integrity and activity. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-BIOMEMBRANES 2009; 1788:2326-34. [PMID: 19699178 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamem.2009.08.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2009] [Revised: 07/16/2009] [Accepted: 08/12/2009] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Human Equilibrative Nucleoside Transporter 1 (hENT1) is an integral membrane protein that transports nucleosides and analog drugs across cellular membranes. Very little is known about intracellular processing and localization of hENT1. Here we show that disruption of a highly conserved triplet (PWN) near the N-terminus, or the last eight C-terminal residues (two hydrophobic triplets separated by a positive arginine) result in loss of plasma membrane localization and/or transport function. To understand the role of specific residues within these regions, we studied the localization patterns of N- or C-terminal deletion and/or substitution mutants of GFP-hENT1 using confocal microscopy. Quantification of GFP-hENT1 (mutant and wildtype) protein at the plasma membrane was conducted using nitrobenzylthioinosine (NBTI) binding. Functionality of the GFP-hENT1 mutants was determined by heterologous expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes followed by measurement of uridine uptake. Mutation of the proline within the PWN motif disrupts plasma membrane localization. C-terminal mutations (primarily within the hydrophobic triplets) lead to hENT1 retention within the cell (e.g. in the ER). Some mutants still localize to the plasma membrane but show reduced transport activity. These data suggest that these two regions contribute to the structural integrity and thus correct processing and function of hENT1.

Abstract
Little is known about the intracellular folding and trafficking of integral membrane proteins. Here we identify a hydrophobic amino acid tetrad (ILLV) close to the C terminus of the secretory Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter (NKCC1) that is important for the proper intracellular processing of this protein. This tetrad appears in a C-terminal sequence pattern that is conserved across species in a number of members of the NKCC1 gene family (slc12) of electroneutral salt transporters. We studied the effects of various mutations of these amino acids on NKCC1 transiently transfected into HEK-293 cells. Our results show that mutation of two of these residues to alanine leads to a >50% reduction in expression and complex glycosylation levels and that multiple mutations to alanine have cumulative effects. By contrast, scrambling of these amino acids, or mutation of other nearby conserved C-terminal residues, has little effect on these parameters. Mutation of ILLV to AAAA reduces complex glycosylation of NKCC1 by approximately 90% and results in a protein that does not form stable dimers and is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum in a highly aggregated state. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that mutation of the hydrophobic tetrad ILLV to AAAA leads to the ab initio misfolding and concomitant aggregation of this NKCC1 mutant, resulting in its retention in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
Membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP; MMP-14) drives fundamental physiological and pathological processes, due to its ability to process a broad spectrum of substrates. Because subtle changes in its activity can produce profound physiological effects, MT1-MMP is tightly regulated. Currently, many aspects of this regulation remain to be elucidated. It has recently been discovered that O-linked glycosylation defines the substrate spectrum of MT1-MMP. We hypothesized that a mutual interdependency exists between MT1-MMP trafficking and glycosylation. Lectin precipitation, metabolic labeling, enzymatic deglycosylation, and site-directed mutagenesis studies demonstrate that the LL(572) motif in the cytoplasmic tail of MT1-MMP influences the composition of the complex O-linked carbohydrates attached to the hinge region of the protein. This influence appears to be independent from major effects on cell surface trafficking. MT1-MMP undergoes extensive processing after its synthesis. The origins and the molecular characters of its multiple forms are incompletely understood. Here, we develop and present a model for the sequential, post-translational processing of MT1-MMP that defines stages in the post-synthetic pathway pursued by the protein.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp, ABCB1) is an ATP-dependent drug pump. Each of its two homologous halves contains a transmembrane domain (TMD) that has six transmembrane (TM) segments and a nucleotide-binding domain (NBD). Determining how the two halves interact may provide insight into the folding of P-gp as the drug-binding pocket and nucleotide-binding sites are predicted to be at the interface between the two halves. Here, we present evidence for NBD1-TMD2 and NBD2-TMD1 interactions. We also show that TMD-NBD interactions in immature and mature P-gp can be affected by the presence of a processing mutation. We found that the NBD-TMD mutants L443C(NBD1)/S909C(TMD2) and A266C(TMD1)/F1086C(NBD2) could be cross-linked at 0 degrees C with oxidant (copper phenanthroline). Cross-linking was inhibited by vanadate-trapping of nucleotide. The presence of a processing mutation (G268V/L443C(NBD1)/S909C(TMD2); L1260A/A266C(TMD1)/F1086C(NBD2)) resulted in the synthesis of the immature (150 kDa) protein as the major product and the mutants could not be cross-linked with copper phenanthroline. Expression of the processing mutants in the presence of a pharmacological chaperone (cyclosporin A), however, resulted in the expression of mature (170 kDa) protein at the cell surface that could be cross-linked. Similarly, CFTR mutants A274C(TMD1)/L1260C(NBD2) and V510C(NBD1)/A1067C(TMD2) could be cross-linked at 0 degrees C with copper phenanthroline. Introduction of DeltaF508 mutation in these mutants, however, resulted in the synthesis of immature CFTR that could not be cross-linked. These results suggest that establishment of NBD interactions with the opposite TMD is a key step in folding of ABC transporters.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is the most intensively studied eukaryotic ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter, due to its involvement in the multidrug resistance phenotype of a number of cancers. In common with most ABC transporters, P-gp is comprised of two transmembrane domains (TMDs) and two nucleotide binding domains (NBD), the latter coupling ATP hydrolysis with substrate transport (efflux in the case of P-gp). Biochemical investigations over the past twenty years have attempted to unlock mechanistic aspects of P-glycoprotein through scanning and site-directed mutagenesis of both the TMDs and the NBDs. Contemporaneously, crystallographers have elucidated the atomic structure of numerous ABC transporter NBDs, as well as the intact structure (i.e. NBDs and TMDs) of a distantly related ABC-exporter Sav1866. Significantly, the structure of P-gp remains unknown, and only low resolution electron microscopy data exists. Within the current manuscript we employ crystallographic data for homologous proteins, and a molecular model for P-gp, to perform a structural interpretation of the existing "mutagenesis database" for P-gp NBDs. Consequently, this will enable testable predictions to be made that will result in further in-roads into our understanding of this clinically important drug pump.

Abstract
The uterine sarcoma human cell line MES-SA/Dx5 overexpresses the MDR1 gene product, P-glycoprotein (Pgp). Pgp is a heavily glycosylated, ATP-dependent drug efflux pump expressed in many human cancers. There are more than 150 known isoforms of Pgp, which complicates the characterization of Pgp glycans because each isoform could present a different glycome. The contribution of these oligosaccharides to the structure and function of Pgp remains unclear. We identified distinct Pgp glycans recognized by the lectins in the digoxigenin (DIG) glycan differentiation kit from Roche Allied Science, all of which were N-glycans. Pgp was isolated using both slab and preparative gel elution. The monoclonal antibody C219 was used to identify the presence of Pgp and Pgp treated with PNGase F on our blots. Pgp isolated from MES-SA/Dx5 cells contains at least two different complex N-glycans--one high mannose tree, detected by GNA, and one branched hybrid oligosaccharide-capped with terminal sialic acids, detected by SNA and MAA. DSA, specific for biantennary oligosaccharides possessing beta(1-4)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues, also recognized the blotted Pgp and is probably detecting the core Galbeta(1-4)-GlcNAc(x) component found in other Pgps.

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.
