Identification of Residues within the Drug-binding Domain of the Human Multidrug Resistance P-glycoprotein by Cysteine-scanning Mutagenesis and Reaction with Dibromobimane

Abstract excerpt

P-glycoprotein (P-gp) can transport a wide variety of cytotoxic compounds that have diverse structures. Therefore, the drug-binding domain of the human multidrug resistance P-gp likely consists of residues from multiple transmembrane (TM) segments. In this study, we completed cysteine-scanning mutagenesis of all the predicted TM segments of P-gp (TMs 1-5 and 7-10) and tested for inhibition by a thiol-reactive...
