The multidrug resistance protein, MRP1, is a
clinically important ATP-binding cassette transporter in which
the three membrane-spanning domains (MSDs), which contain up to 17 transmembrane (TM) helices, and two nucleotide binding domains (NBDs)
are configured MSD1-MSD2-NBD1-MSD3-NBD2. In tumor cells, MRP1 confers
resistance to a broad spectrum of drugs, but in normal cells, it
functions as a primary active transporter of organic anions such as
leukotriene C4 and 17 -estradiol
17 -(D-glucuronide). We have previously shown that
mutation of TM17-Trp1246 eliminates 17 -estradiol
17 -(D-glucuronide) transport and drug resistance
conferred by MRP1 while leaving leukotriene C4 transport intact. By mutating the 11 remaining Trp residues that are in predicted
TM segments of MRP1, we have now determined that five of them are also
major determinants of MRP1 function. Ala substitution of three of these
residues, Trp445 (TM8), Trp553 (TM10), and
Trp1198 (TM16), eliminated or substantially reduced
transport levels of five organic anion substrates of MRP1. In contrast,
Ala substitutions of Trp361 (TM7) and Trp459
(TM9) caused a more moderate and substrate-selective reduction in MRP1
function. More conservative substitutions (Tyr and Phe) of the
Trp445, Trp553, and Trp1198 mutants
resulted in substrate selective retention of transport in some cases
(Trp445 and Trp1198) but not others
(Trp553). Our findings suggest that the bulky polar
aromatic indole side chain of each of these five Trp residues
contributes significantly to the transport activity and substrate
specificity of MRP1.
