Abstract
MRP1 is an ABC (or ATP binding cassette) membrane transport protein shown t o confer resistance to structurally dissimilar drugs, Studies of MRP1 topol ogy suggested the presence of a hydrophobic N-domain with five potential me mbrane-spanning domains linked to an MDR1-like core (MSD1-NBD1-L1-MSD2-NBD2 ) by an intracellular linker domain (LO). MRP1-mediated multidrug resistanc e is thought to be due to enhanced drug efflux. However, little is known ab out MRP1-drug interaction and its drug binding site(s). We previously devel oped several photoreactive probes to study MRP1-drug interactions. In this report, we have used eight MRP1-HA variants that were modified to have hema gglutinin A (HA) epitopes inserted at different sites in MRP1 sequence. Exh austive in-gel digestion of all IAARh123 photoaffinity-labeled MRP1-HA vari ants revealed the same profile of photolabeled peptides as seen for wild ty pe MRP1. Photolabeling of the different MRP1-HA variants followed by digest ion with increasing concentrations of trypsin or Staphylococcus aureus V8 p rotease (1:800 to 1:5 w/w) and immunoprecipitation with anti-HA mAb identif ied two small photolabeled peptides (similar to6-7 kDa) from MRP1-HA(574) a nd MRP1-HA(1222). Based on the location of the HA epitopes in the latter va riants together with molecular masses of the two peptides, the photolabeled amino acid residues were localized to MRP1 sequences encoding transmembran es 10 and 11 of MSD1 (Ser(542)-Arg(593)) and transmembranes 16 and 17 of MS D2 (Cys(1205)-Glu(1253)). Interestingly, the same sequences in MRP1 were al so photolabeled with a structurally different photoreactive drug, IACI, con firming the significance of transmembranes 10, 11, 16 and 17 in MRP1 drug b inding. Taken together, the results in this study provide the first delinea tion of the drug binding site(s) of MRP1. Furthermore, our findings suggest the presence of common drug binding site(s) for structurally dissimilar dr ugs.
