ABC转运蛋白结构及在植物病原真菌中的功能研究进展 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
ABC (ATP-binding cassette)转运蛋白是最大的膜转运蛋白超家族之一,其主要功能是利用ATP水解产生的能量将底物进行逆浓度梯度运输.所有生物体都含有大量ABC蛋白. ABC蛋白位于细胞的不同空间,如细胞膜、液泡、线粒体和过氧化物酶体.通常,ABC转运蛋白由跨膜结构域(TMD)和核苷酸结合结构域(NBD)组成,分别与底物和ATP结合.NBD执行与ATP结合和水解,是ABC转运蛋白的动力引擎,TMD识别特异性配体.大多数ABC转运蛋白最初是通过研究生物体耐药性而被发现的,包括多效耐药(PDR)和多药耐药(MDR).本文对ABC转运蛋白的结构及作用机制,以及植物病原真菌中ABC转运蛋白功能的研究进展进行综述. 相似文献

The development of MDR (multidrug resistance) in yeast is due to a number of mechanisms. The most documented mechanism is enhanced extrusion of drugs mediated by efflux pump proteins belonging to either the ABC (ATP-binding cassette) superfamily or MFS (major facilitator superfamily). These drug-efflux pump proteins are localized on the plasma membrane, and the milieu therein affects their proper functioning. Several recent studies demonstrate that fluctuations in membrane lipid composition affect the localization and proper functioning of the MDR efflux pump proteins. Interestingly, the efflux pumps of the ABC superfamily are particularly susceptible to imbalances in membrane-raft lipid constituents. This review focuses on the importance of the membrane environment in functioning of the drug-efflux pumps and explores a correlation between MDR and membrane lipid homoeostasis. 相似文献

Some ABC transporters play a significant role in human health and illness because they confer multidrug resistance (MDR) through their overexpression. Compounds that inhibit the drug efflux mechanism can improve efficacy or reverse resistance. Of the eight described ABC transporter subfamilies, those proteins conferring MDR in humans are in subfamilies A, B, C, and G. In nematodes, transporters in subfamilies B and C are suggested to confer resistance to ivermectin. The Brugia malayi ABC transporter superfamily was examined to assess their potential to influence sensitivity to moxidectin. There was an increase in expression of ABC transporters in subfamilies A, B, C, and G following treatment. Co-administration of moxidectin with inhibitors of ABC transporter function did not enhance sensitivity to moxidectin in males; however, sensitivity was significantly enhanced in females and microfilariae. The work suggests that ABC transporters influence sensitivity to moxidectin and have a potential role in drug resistance. 相似文献

Three single copy ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter encoding genes, designated MgAtr3, MgAtr4, and MgAtr5, were cloned and sequenced from the plant pathogenic fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola. The encoded ABC proteins all exhibit the [NBD-TMS(6)](2) configuration and can be classified as novel members of the pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) class of ABC transporters. The three proteins are highly homologous to other fungal and yeast, ABC proteins involved in multidrug resistance or plant pathogenesis. MgAtr4 and MgAtr5 possess a conserved ABC motif at both the N- and C-terminal domain of the protein. In contrast, the Walker A motif in the N-terminal and the ABC signature in the C-terminal domain of MgAtr3, deviate significantly from the consensus sequence found in other members of the PDR class of ABC transporters. Expression of MgAtr3 could not be detected under any of the conditions tested. However, MgAtr4 and MgAtr5 displayed distinct expression profiles when treated with a range of compounds known to be either substrates or inducers of ABC transporters. These included synthetic fungitoxic compounds, such as imazalil and cyproconazole, natural toxic compounds, such as the plant defence compounds eugenol and psoralen, and the antibiotics cycloheximide and neomycin. The expression pattern of the genes was also dependent on the morphological state of the fungus. The findings suggest a role for MgAtr4 and MgAtr5 during plant pathogenesis and in protection against toxic compounds. 相似文献

Fluconazole is one of the most useful drugs in the treatment of fungal systemic infections which frequently affect non immunocompetent individuals. However, the emergence of resistant strains in recent years may severely limit its usefulness in future. Although there are several described mechanisms involved in resistance to azoles, recent genetic studies demonstrate the role of specific genes in clinical resistance. Currently, the best characterized are the MDR1 and CDR1 genes, which code members of the MFS or ABC family of drug transporters, respectively. These proteins respond to the membrane potential (MFS) or hydrolyse ATP (ABC) thus promoting drug efflux and therefore reducing its intracellular accumulation. It has been shown that the mRNA from these genes is frequently increased in some Candida albicans resistant strains from patients receiving long term azole treatment. The development of molecular genetic tools in C. albicans is allowing characterization of their role in this and other important processes in the fungal cell. 相似文献

Changes in lipid and protein constituents of rafts and caveolae in multidrug resistant cancer cells and their functional consequences 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The carcinogenic process involves a complex series of genetic and biochemical changes that enables transformed cells to proliferate, migrate to secondary sites and, in some cases, acquire mechanisms that make cancer cells resistant to chemotherapy. This phenomenon in its most common form is known as multidrug resistance (MDR). It is usually mediated by overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) or other plasma membrane ATPases that export cytotoxic drugs used in chemotherapy, thereby reducing their efficacy. However, additional adaptive changes are likely to be required in order to confer a full MDR phenotype. Recent studies have shown that acquisition of MDR is accompanied by up-regulation of lipids and proteins that constitute lipid rafts and caveolar membranes, notably glucosylceramide and caveolin. These changes may be related to the fact that in MDR cells a significant fraction of cellular P-gp is associated with caveolin-rich membrane domains, they may be involved in drug transport and they could have an impact on drug-induced apoptosis and on the phenotypic transformation of MDR cancer cells. 相似文献

An ABC transporter mutation is correlated with insect resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ac toxin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Transgenic crops producing insecticidal toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are commercially successful in reducing pest damage, yet knowledge of resistance mechanisms that threaten their sustainability is incomplete. Insect resistance to the pore-forming Cry1Ac toxin is correlated with the loss of high-affinity, irreversible binding to the mid-gut membrane, but the genetic factors responsible for this change have been elusive. Mutations in a 12-cadherin-domain protein confer some Cry1Ac resistance but do not block this toxin binding in in vitro assays. We sought to identify mutations in other genes that might be responsible for the loss of binding. We employed a map-based cloning approach using a series of backcrosses with 1,060 progeny to identify a resistance gene in the cotton pest Heliothis virescens that segregated independently from the cadherin mutation. We found an inactivating mutation of the ABC transporter ABCC2 that is genetically linked to Cry1Ac resistance and is correlated with loss of Cry1Ac binding to membrane vesicles. ABC proteins are integral membrane proteins with many functions, including export of toxic molecules from the cell, but have not been implicated in the mode of action of Bt toxins before. The reduction in toxin binding due to the inactivating mutation suggests that ABCC2 is involved in membrane integration of the toxin pore. Our findings suggest that ABC proteins may play a key role in the mode of action of Bt toxins and that ABC protein mutations can confer high levels of resistance that could threaten the continued utilization of Bt-expressing crops. However, such mutations may impose a physiological cost on resistant insects, by reducing export of other toxins such as plant secondary compounds from the cell. This weakness could be exploited to manage this mechanism of Bt resistance in the field. 相似文献

Yeast ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins are implicated in many biological phenomena, often acting at crossroads of vital cellular processes. Their functions encompass peptide pheromone secretion, regulation of mitochondrial function, vacuolar detoxification, as well as pleiotropic drug resistance and stress adaptation. Because yeast harbors several homologues of mammalian ABC proteins with medical importance, understanding their molecular mechanisms, substrate interaction and three-dimensional structure of yeast ABC proteins might help identifying new approaches aimed at combating drug resistance or other ABC-mediated diseases. This review provides a comprehensive discussion on the functions of the ABC protein family in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 相似文献

Yeast DNA fragments that confer multiple drug resistance when amplified were isolated. Cells containing a yeast genomic library cloned in the high copy autonomously replicating vector, YEp24, were plated on medium containing cycloheximide. Five out of 100 cycloheximide-resistant colonies were cross-resistant to the unrelated inhibitor, sulfometuron methyl, due to a plasmid-borne resistance determinant. The plasmids isolated from these resistant clones contained two nonoverlapping regions in the yeast genome now designated PDR4 and PDR5 (for pleiotropic drug resistant). PDR4 was mapped to chromosome XIII, 31.5 cM from LYS7 and 9 cM from the centromere. PDR4 was mapped to chromosome XV between ADE2 and H1S3. Genetic analysis demonstrated that at least three tightly linked genes (PDR5, PDR2 and SMR3) that mediate resistance to inhibitors are located in this region. Insertion mutations in the either PDR4 or PDR5 genes are not lethal, but the insertion in PDR5 results in a drug-hypersensitive phenotype. 相似文献

Directional transport of the phytohormone auxin is required for the establishment and maintenance of plant polarity, but the underlying molecular mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Plant homologs of human multiple drug resistance/P-glycoproteins (MDR/PGPs) have been implicated in auxin transport, as defects in MDR1 (AtPGP19) and AtPGP1 result in reductions of growth and auxin transport in Arabidopsis (atpgp1, atpgp19), maize (brachytic2) and sorghum (dwarf3). Here we examine the localization, activity, substrate specificity and inhibitor sensitivity of AtPGP1. AtPGP1 exhibits non-polar plasma membrane localization at the shoot and root apices, as well as polar localization above the root apex. Protoplasts from Arabidopsis pgp1 leaf mesophyll cells exhibit reduced efflux of natural and synthetic auxins with reduced sensitivity to auxin efflux inhibitors. Expression of AtPGP1 in yeast and in the standard mammalian expression system used to analyze human MDR-type proteins results in enhanced efflux of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and the synthetic auxin 1-naphthalene acetic acid (1-NAA), but not the inactive auxin 2-NAA. AtPGP1-mediated efflux is sensitive to auxin efflux and ABC transporter inhibitors. As is seen in planta, AtPGP1 also appears to mediate some efflux of IAA oxidative breakdown products associated with apical sites of high auxin accumulation. However, unlike what is seen in planta, some additional transport of the benzoic acid is observed in yeast and mammalian cells expressing AtPGP1, suggesting that other factors present in plant tissues confer enhanced auxin specificity to PGP-mediated transport. 相似文献

One of the major problems in chemotherapy is multidrug resistance (MDR) against anticancer drugs. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are a family of proteins that mediate MDR via ATP-dependent drug efflux pumps. Many MDR inhibitors have been identified, but none of them have been proven clinically useful without side effects. Efforts continue to discover not toxic MDR inhibitors which lack pharmacokinetic interactions with anticancer drugs. Novel approaches have also been designed to inhibit or circumvent MDR. In this review, the structure and function of ABC transporters and development of MDR inhibitors are described briefly including various approaches to suppress MDR mechanisms. 相似文献
