Vanadate trapping of nucleotide at the ATP-binding sites of human multidrug resistance P-glycoprotein exposes different residues to the drug-binding site.

Abstract excerpt

The human multidrug resistance P-glycoprotein uses ATP to transport a wide variety of structurally unrelated cytotoxic compounds out of the cell. In this study, we used cysteine-scanning mutagenesis and cross-linking studies to identify residues that are exposed to the drug-binding site upon vanadate trapping. In the absence of nucleotides, C222(TM4) was cross-linked to C868(TM10) and C872(TM10); C306(TM5) was...
