Platelets express leukotriene (LT) C4 synthase and can thus participate in the formation of bioactive LTC4. To further elucidate the relevance of this capability, we have now determined the capacity of human platelets to export LTC4. Endogenously formed LTC4 was efficiently released from human platelets after incubation with LTA4 at 37 degrees C, whereas only 15% of produced LTC4 was exported when the cells were incubated at 0 degrees C. The activation energy of the process was calculated to 49.9 +/- 7.7 kJ/mol, indicating carrier-mediated LTC4 export. This was also supported by the finding that the transport was saturable, reaching a maximal export rate of 470 +/- 147 pmol LTC4/min x 10(9) platelets. Furthermore, markedly suppressed LTC4 transport was induced by a combination of the metabolic inhibitors antimycin A and 2-deoxyglucose, suggesting energy-dependent export. The presence in platelets of multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1), a protein described to be an energy-dependent LTC4 transporter in various cell types, was demonstrated at the mRNA and protein level. Additional support for a role of MRP1 in platelet LTC4 export was obtained by the findings that the process was inhibited by probenecid and the 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) inhibitor, MK-886. The present findings further support the physiological relevance of platelet LTC4 production.

The 190-kDa multidrug resistance protein MRP1 (ABCC1) is a polytopic transmembrane protein belonging to the ATP-binding cassette transporter superfamily. In addition to conferring resistance to various antineoplastic agents, MRP1 is a transporter of conjugated organic anions, including the cysteinyl leukotriene C(4) (LTC(4)). We previously characterized the ATPase activity of reconstituted immunoaffinity-purified native MRP1 and showed it could be stimulated by its organic anion substrates (Mao, Q., Leslie, E. M., Deeley, R. G., and Cole, S. P. C. (1999) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1461, 69-82). Here we show that purified reconstituted MRP1 is also capable of active transport of its substrates. Thus LTC(4) uptake by MRP1 proteoliposomes was osmotically sensitive and could be inhibited by two MRP1-specific monoclonal antibodies. LTC(4) uptake was also markedly reduced by the competitive inhibitor, S-decyl-glutathione, as well as by the MRP1 substrates 17 beta-estradiol 17-beta-(d-glucuronide), oxidized glutathione, and vincristine in the presence of reduced glutathione. The K(m) for ATP and LTC(4) were 357 +/- 184 microm and 366 +/- 38 nm, respectively, and 2.14 +/- 0.75 microm for 17 beta-estradiol 17-beta-(d-glucuronide). Transport of vincristine required the presence of both ATP and GSH. Conversely, GSH transport was stimulated by vincristine and verapamil. Our data represent the first reconstitution of transport competent purified native MRP1 and confirm that MRP1 is an efflux pump, which can transport conjugated organic anions and co-transport vincristine together with GSH.

The ATP-binding cassette transmembrane proteins play an important role in transport of drugs as well as of biologically active endogenous substances. The human multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) subfamily consists of at least six members, exhibiting a wide spectrum of biological functions. MRP1 operates as an ATP-dependent primary active transporter for substrates conjugated with glucuronide, sulfate or glutathione. Leukotriene C4 is an important endogenous substrate for MRP1. Glutathione serves as a cofactor in MRP1-mediated drug transport as well. Genes encoding both MRP1 and the catalytic subunit of gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gamma-GCS) are coordinately regulated in cultured cancer cell lines as well as colorectal cancer tissues from colon cancer patients. The induction of MRP1 and gamma-GCS expression by oxidative stress varies among different cell lines, and p53 mutations are associated with elevated levels of induction. To modulate the transport function of MRP1, we have synthesized novel glutathione derivatives as photoreactive biochemical probes targeting the transporter protein. GIF-0019 restored the cellular sensitivity of MRP1-overexpressing drug-resistant cancer cells to anticancer prostaglandins in vitro, which was characterized by enhanced mRNA levels of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21, suppressed c-myc expression and G1 arrest.

The 190-kDa phosphoglycoprotein multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1) (ABCC1) confers resistance to a broad spectrum of anticancer drugs and also actively transports certain xenobiotics with reduced glutathione (GSH) (cotransport) as well as conjugated organic anions such as leukotriene C(4) (LTC(4)). In the present study, we have investigated a series of bioflavonoids for their ability to influence different aspects of MRP1 function. Most flavonoids inhibited MRP1-mediated LTC(4) transport in membrane vesicles and inhibition by several flavonoids was enhanced by GSH. Five of the flavonoids were competitive inhibitors of LTC(4) transport (K(i), 2.4-21 microM) in the following rank order of potency: kaempferol > apigenin (+ GSH) > quercetin > myricetin > naringenin (+ GSH). These flavonoids were less effective inhibitors of 17beta-estradiol 17beta-(D-glucuronide) transport. Moreover, their rank order of inhibitory potency for this substrate differed from that for LTC(4) transport inhibition but correlated with their relative lipophilicity. Several flavonoids, especially naringenin and apigenin, markedly stimulated GSH transport by MRP1, suggesting they may be cotransported with this tripeptide. Quercetin inhibited the ATPase activity of purified reconstituted MRP1 but stimulated vanadate-induced trapping of 8-azido-alpha-[(32)P]ADP by MRP1. In contrast, kaempferol and naringenin stimulated both MRP1 ATPase activity and trapping of ADP. In intact MRP1-overexpressing cells, quercetin reduced vincristine resistance from 8.9- to 2.2-fold, whereas kaempferol and naringenin had no effect. We conclude that dietary flavonoids may modulate the organic anion and GSH transport, ATPase, and/or drug resistance-conferring properties of MRP1. However, the activity profile of the flavonoids tested differed from one another, suggesting that at least some of these compounds may interact with different sites on the MRP1 molecule.

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 the sixth transmembrane (TM6) helix of MRP1 with neutral and oppositely charged amino acids and determined the effect on substrate specificity and transport activity. All mutants were expressed in transfected human embryonic kidney cells at levels comparable with wild-type MRP1, and confocal microscopy showed that they were correctly routed to the plasma membrane. Vesicular transport studies revealed that the MRP1-Lys(332) mutants had lost the ability to transport LTC(4), and GSH transport was reduced; whereas E(2)17betaG, estrone 3-sulfate, and MTX transport were unaffected. E(2)17betaG transport was not inhibited by LTC(4) and could not be photolabeled with [(3)H]LTC(4), indicating that the MRP1-Lys(332) mutants no longer bound this substrate. Substitutions of MRP1-His(335) also selectively diminished LTC(4) transport and photolabeling but to a lesser extent. Kinetic analyses showed that V(max) (LTC(4)) of these mutants was decreased but K(m) was unchanged. In contrast to the selective loss of LTC(4) transport in the Lys(332) and His(335) mutants, the MRP1-Asp(336) mutants no longer transported LTC(4), E(2)17betaG, estrone 3-sulfate, or GSH, and transport of MTX was reduced by >50%. Lys(332), His(335), and Asp(336) of TM6 are predicted to be in the outer leaflet of the membrane and are all capable of forming intrahelical and interhelical ion pairs and hydrogen bonds. The importance of Lys(332) and His(335) in determining substrate specificity and of Asp(336) in overall transport activity suggests that such interactions are critical for the binding and transport of LTC(4) and other substrates of MRP1.

The apical multidrug resistance protein MRP2 (symbol ABCC2) is an ATP-dependent export pump for anionic conjugates in polarized cells. MRP2 has only 48% amino acid identity with the paralog MRP1 (ABCC1). In this study we show that purified recombinant MRP2 reconstituted in proteoliposomes is functionally active in substrate transport. The Km values for ATP and LTC4 in the transport by MRP2 in proteoliposomes were 560 microM and 450 nM, respectively. This transport function of MRP2 in proteoliposomes was dependent on the amount of MRP2 protein present and was determined to 2.7 pmol x min(-1) x mg MRP2(-1) at 100 nM LTC4. Transport was competitively inhibited by the quinoline derivative MK571 with 50% inhibition at about 12 microM. Our data document the first reconstitution of transport-active purified recombinant MRP2. Binding and immunoprecipitation experiments indicated that MRP2 preferentially associates with the chaperone calnexin, but co-reconstitution studies using purified MRP2 and purified calnexin in proteoliposomes suggested that the LTC4 transport function of MRP2 is not dependent on calnexin. The purified, transport-active MRP2 may serve to identify additional interacting proteins in the apical membrane of polarized cells.

Multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) is a member of the ATP-binding cassette membrane transport superfamily and is responsible for multidrug resistance in cancer cells. Currently, there are nine known human MRPs. Distinct from many other members of the ATP-binding cassette superfamily, human MRP1 and four other MRPs have an additional membrane-spanning domain (MSD) with a putative extracellular amino terminus. The functional significance of this additional MSD (MSD1) is currently unknown. To understand the role of MSD1 in human MRP1 structure and function, we studied the amino-terminal 33 amino acids. We found that the amino terminus of human MRP1 has two cysteine residues (Cys(7) and Cys(32)) that are conserved among the five human MRPs that have MSD1. Mutation analyses of the two cysteines in human MRP1 revealed that the Cys(7) residue is critical for the MRP1-mediated drug resistance and leukotriene C(4) transport activity. On the other hand, mutation of Cys(32) reduced only moderately the MRP1 function. The effect of Cys(7) mutation on MRP1 activity appears to be due to the 5-7-fold decrease in the maximal transport rate V(max). We also found that mutation of Cys(7) changed the amino-terminal conformation of MRP1. This conformational change is likely responsible for the decrease in V(max) of LTC(4) transport mediated by the mutant MRP1. Based on these studies, we conclude that the amino terminus of human MRP1 is important and that the Cys(7) residue plays a critical role in maintaining the proper structure and function of human MRP1.

The Multidrug Resistance Protein, MRP1 (ABCC1) confers drug resistance and transports organic anions such as leukotriene C(4) (LTC(4)) and 17beta-estradiol 17-(beta-D-glucuronide) (E(2)17betaG). Previous studies showed that portions of the first membrane spanning domain (MSD1) and the cytoplasmic loop (CL3) connecting it to MSD2 are important for MRP1 transport function. We have replaced 12 prolines in MSD1 and CL3 with alanine and determined the effects of these substitutions on MRP1 expression and transport activity. All singly substituted MRP1-Pro mutants could be expressed in HeLa cells, except MRP1-P104A. The expressed mutants also transported LTC(4) and E(2)17betaG, and their K(m) (LTC(4)) values were similar to wild-type MRP1. Expression of the double mutant MRP1-P42/51A was reduced by >80% although it localized to the plasma membrane and transported organic anions. MRP1 expression was also reduced when the first transmembrane helix (amino acids 37-54) was deleted. In contrast, the phenotypes of the multiply substituted CL3 mutants MRP1-P196/205/207/209A and MRP1-P235/255A were comparable to wild-type MRP1. However, Pro(255)-substituted MRP1 mutants showed reduced immunoreactivity with a monoclonal antibody (MAb) whose epitope is located in CL3. We conclude that certain prolines in MSD1 and CL3 play a role in the expression and structure of MRP1.

Drug resistance is a major impediment in the treatment of cancer patients receiving single or multiple drug treatment. Efforts to reverse drug resistance of tumor cells have not been successful. In recent years, considerable emphasis has been placed on understanding the underlying mechanisms that confer drug resistance. The expression of the multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1 or ABCC1) in cancer cells has been shown to confer resistance to diverse classes of anti-cancer drugs. MRP1 is a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family whose function, in tumor cells, is to reduce drug accumulation through energized drug efflux. To learn more about the functions of MRP1 in tumor drug resistance, knowledge of the protein binding characteristics and the location of its binding sites are essential. Photoaffinity labeling (PAL) has emerged as a leading technique that can rapidly shed light on a protein's drug binding characteristics and ultimately drug binding domains. Several MRP1-specific photoreactive probes have been developed. PAL of MRP1 was first demonstrated with the quinoline-based drug, IAAQ. Other studies showed that the high affinity endogenous substrate of MRP1, LTC(4), has intrinsic photoreactive properties and binds within both N- and C-terminal domains of MRP1. LTC(4) is conjugated to glutathione (GSH), a property common to several MRP1 substrates. In addition, several unconjugated drugs have been identified that interact with MRP1: [(3)H]VF-13,159, IAAQ, IACI and IAARh123. Mapping studies showed that IACI and IAARh123 bind two sites within transmembrane (TM) regions 10-11 and 16-17 of MRP1. Interestingly, the GSH-dependent PAL of [(125)I]azidoAG-A and [(125)I]LY475776 occurs within, or proximal to TM 16-17. The PAL with several analogs of GSH, IAAGSH and azidophenacyl-[(35)S]GSH found to interact specifically with MRP1 within TM 10-11 and TM 16-17 in addition to binding two cytoplasmic regions in MRP1, L0 and L1. This review focuses on the use of PAL for studying MRP1 interactions with various drugs and cell metabolites. Furthermore, knowledge of MRP1 drug binding domains, as identified by PAL with various photoreactive drug analogs, provides an important first step towards more detailed analyses of MRP1 binding domains.

The multiple drug resistance protein 1 (MRP1 or ABCC1) transports anticancer drugs and normal cell metabolites. Leucotriene C(4) (LTC(4)) is one of the highest affinity substrates of MRP1. In this study, we have synthesized and characterized a novel photoreactive azido analogue of LTC(4) (AALTC(4)). The specificity of AALTC(4) binding to MRP1 was confirmed using an LTC(4)-specific monoclonal antibody. Moreover, binding with radioiodinated [(125)I]AALTC(4) (or IAALTC(4)) to MRP1 was dramatically competed with unmodified LTC(4) and to a lesser degree by glutathione (GSH). Oxidized glutathione (GSSG) slightly increased IAALTC(4) binding to MRP1, while MK571, verapamil, and vincristine inhibited IAALTC(4) binding to MRP1. Using AALTC(4) together with a panel of epitope-specific and LTC(4)-specific monoclonal antibodies, we identified LTC(4) binding sites in MRP1. Western blotting of large tryptic fragments of MRP1 with three well-characterized epitope-specific mAbs (MRPr1, QCRL1, and MRPm6) showed LTC(4) binding in both the N- and C-terminal halves of MRP1. Furthermore, a peptide corresponding to the N-terminal membrane-spanning domain of MRP1 (MSD0) was photoaffinity labeled by AALTC(4), indicating that MSD0 contains an LTC(4) binding site. Higher resolution mapping of additional LTC(4) binding sites was obtained using eight MRP1 variants with each containing hemaglutanin A (HA) epitopes at different sites (at amino acid 4, 163, 271, 574, 653, 938, 1001, or 1222). MRP1 variants were photoaffinity labeled with IAALTC(4) and digested with trypsin to isolate specific regions of MRP1 that interact with LTC(4). These results confirmed that sequences in MSD0 interact with IAALTC(4). Other regions that were photoaffinity labeled by IAALTC(4) include TM 10-11, TM 16-17, and TM 12, shown previously to encode MRP1 drug binding site(s). Together, our results show a high-resolution map of LTC(4) binding domains in MRP1 and provide the first direct evidence for LTC(4) binding within MSD0.
