GSH-dependent photolabeling of multidrug resistance protein MRP1 (ABCC1) by [125I]LY475776. Evidence of a major binding site in the COOH-proximal membrane spanning domain.

Substrates transported by the 190-kDa multidrug resistance protein 1 ( MRP1) (ABCC1) include endogenous organic anions such as the cysteinyl leukotriene C(4). In addition, MRP1 confers resistance against various anticancer drugs by reducing intracellular accumulation by co-export of drug with reduced GSH. We have examined the properties of LY475776, an intrinsically photoactivable MRP1-specific tricyclic isoxazole modulator that inhibits leukotriene C(4) transport by this protein in a GSH-dependent manner. We show that [125I]LY475776 photolabeling of MRP1 requires GSH but is also supported by several non-reducing GSH derivatives and peptide analogs. Limited proteolysis revealed that [(125)I]LY475776 labeling was confined to the 75-kDa COOH-proximal half of MRP1. More extensive proteolysis generated two major 125I-labeled fragments of approximately 56 and approximately 41 kDa, and immunoblotting with regionally directed antibodies showed that these fragments correspond to amino acids approximately 1045-1531 and approximately 1150-1531, respectively. However, an approximately 33-kDa COOH-terminal immunoreactive fragment was not labeled, inferring that the major [125I]LY475776-labeling site resides approximately between amino acids 1150-1250. This region encompasses transmembrane (TM) segments 16 and 17 at the COOH-proximal end of the third membrane spanning domain of the protein. [125I]LY475776 labeling of mutant MRP1 molecules with substitutions of Trp(1246) in TM17 were reduced >80% compared with wild-type MRP1, confirming that TM17 is important for LY475776 binding. Finally, vanadate-induced trapping of ADP inhibited [125I]LY475776 labeling, suggesting that ATP hydrolysis causes a conformational change in MRP1 that reduces the affinity of the protein for this inhibitor.[1]
