Charged Amino Acids in the Sixth Transmembrane Helix of Multidrug Resistance Protein 1 (MRP1/ABCC1) Are Critical Determinants of Transport Activity
25 Oct 2002
Abstract excerpt
The multidrug resistance protein, MRP1 (ABCC1), is an ATP-binding cassette transporter that confers resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. MRP1 also mediates transport of organic anions such as leukotriene C(4) (LTC(4)), 17beta-estradiol 17-(beta-d-glucuronide) (E(2)17betaG), estrone 3-sulfate, methotrexate (MTX), and GSH. We replaced three charged amino acids, Lys(332), His(335), and Asp(336), predicted to be in...
