Overexpression of multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1), an ATP-binding cassette protein, causes multidrug resistance. We developed a functional cysteine-less version of MRP1 that provides a framework for detailed biochemical and biophysical studies. The 18 Cys residues of a truncated MRP1 (tMRP1; lacking the first multispanning transmembrane domain) were replaced with Ala to generate Cys-less tMRP1 (CL tMRP1). CL tMRP1 expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae membranes displayed high-affinity ATP- ...[more]
