MDR1 (multidrug resistance 1)/P-glycoprotein is an ATP-driven transporter which excretes a wide variety of structurally unrelated hydrophobic compounds from cells. It is suggested that drugs bind to MDR1 directly from the lipid bilayer and that cholesterol in the bilayer also interacts with MDR1. However, the effects of cholesterol on drug–MDR1 interactions are still unclear. To examine these effects, human MDR1 was expressed in insect cells and purified. The purified MDR1 protein was reconstituted in proteoliposomes containing various concentrations of cholesterol and enzymatic parameters of drug-stimulated ATPase were compared. Cholesterol directly binds to purified MDR1 in a detergent soluble form and the effects of cholesterol on drug-stimulated ATPase activity differ from one drug to another. The effects of cholesterol on Km values of drug-stimulated ATPase activity were strongly correlated with the molecular mass of that drug. Cholesterol increases the binding affinity of small drugs (molecular mass <500 Da), but does not affect that of drugs with a molecular mass of between 800 and 900 Da, and suppresses that of valinomycin (molecular mass >1000 Da). Vmax values for rhodamine B and paclitaxel are also increased by cholesterol, suggesting that cholesterol affects turnover as well as drug binding. Paclitaxel-stimulated ATPase activity of MDR1 is enhanced in the presence of stigmasterol, sitosterol and campesterol, as well as cholesterol, but not ergosterol. These results suggest that the drug-binding site of MDR1 may best fit drugs with a molecular mass of between 800 and 900 Da, and that cholesterol may support the recognition of smaller drugs by adjusting the drug-binding site and play an important role in the function of MDR1.

MRP1 is an ABC (or ATP binding cassette) membrane transport protein shown to confer resistance to structurally dissimilar drugs. Studies of MRP1 topology suggested the presence of a hydrophobic N-domain with five potential membrane-spanning domains linked to an MDR1-like core (MSD1-NBD1-L1-MSD2-NBD2) by an intracellular linker domain (L0). MRP1-mediated multidrug resistance is thought to be due to enhanced drug efflux. However, little is known about MRP1-drug interaction and its drug binding site(s). We previously developed several photoreactive probes to study MRP1-drug interactions. In this report, we have used eight MRP1-HA variants that were modified to have hemagglutinin A (HA) epitopes inserted at different sites in MRP1 sequence. Exhaustive in-gel digestion of all IAARh123 photoaffinity-labeled MRP1-HA variants revealed the same profile of photolabeled peptides as seen for wild type MRP1. Photolabeling of the different MRP1-HA variants followed by digestion with increasing concentrations of trypsin orStaphylococcus aureusV8 protease (1:800 to 1:5 w/w) and immunoprecipitation with anti-HA mAb identified two small photolabeled peptides (∼6–7 kDa) from MRP1-HA(574) and MRP1-HA(1222). Based on the location of the HA epitopes in the latter variants together with molecular masses of the two peptides, the photolabeled amino acid residues were localized to MRP1 sequences encoding transmembranes 10 and 11 of MSD1 (Ser542-Arg593) and transmembranes 16 and 17 of MSD2 (Cys1205-Glu1253). Interestingly, the same sequences in MRP1 were also photolabeled with a structurally different photoreactive drug, IACI, confirming the significance of transmembranes 10, 11, 16 and 17 in MRP1 drug binding. Taken together, the results in this study provide the first delineation of the drug binding site(s) of MRP1. Furthermore, our findings suggest the presence of common drug binding site(s) for structurally dissimilar drugs.
