Abstract excerpt
Variations in the amino acid sequence of ABC transporters have been shown to impact substrate specificity. We identified two acquired mutations in ABCG2, the ABC half-transporter overexpressed in mitoxantrone-resistant cell lines. These mutations confer differences in substrate specificity and suggest that naturally occurring variants could also affect substrate specificity. To search for the existence of single...
