Abstract excerpt
P-glycoprotein (Pgp), an anticancer drug-translocating ATPase, is responsible for multidrug resistance in cancer. We have previously shown (Nuti, S. L., Mehdi, A., and Rao, U. S. (2000) Biochemistry 39, 3424-3432) that tryptic cleavage of Pgp results in the activation of basal and drug-stimulated ATPase functions of Pgp. To understand this phenomenon, we determined the sites cleaved by trypsin and further...
