Summary

This study used MIANS to label cysteines in multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1), revealing their hydrophobic environment and proximity to nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs). Nucleotides and drugs alter MRP1 conformation and activity.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular Biology
  • Drug Resistance

Background:

  • Multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1) is a key transporter involved in multidrug resistance.
  • Understanding MRP1's structure-function relationship is crucial for developing strategies to overcome drug resistance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the location and environment of cysteine residues in MRP1.
  • To elucidate the effects of nucleotides and anticancer drugs on MRP1 conformation and activity.

Main Methods:

  • Sulfhydryl-reactive fluorescence labeling with MIANS.
  • Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assays.
  • Collisional quenching studies.
  • ATPase activity assays.

Main Results:

  • MIANS labeling identified two cysteine residues in a hydrophobic environment near MRP1's nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs).
  • ATP, ADP, and anticancer drugs modulated the reaction rate of MRP1 with MIANS, indicating conformational changes.
  • The microenvironment around labeled cysteines was found to be positively charged.
  • Anticancer drugs activated MRP1 ATPase activity, while MIANS and NEM inhibited it, suggesting distinct binding sites and allosteric regulation.

Conclusions:

  • Nucleotides and drugs induce significant conformational changes in MRP1's NBDs.
  • Anticancer drugs may initially interact with transmembrane domains (TMDs), influencing NBD accessibility and ATPase activity.
  • These findings provide insights into the coupling mechanism between substrate transport and ATP hydrolysis in MRP1.
