Abstract
The mechanisms of MRP1-drug binding and transport are not clear. In this study, we have characterized the interaction between MRP1 and rhodamine 123 (Rh123) using the photoreactive-iodinated analogue, [(125)I]iodoaryl azido-rhodamine 123 (or IAARh123). Photoaffinity labeling of plasma membranes from HeLa cells transfected with MRP1 cDNA (HeLa-MRP1) with IAARh123 shows the photolabeling of a 190 kDa polypeptide not labeled in HeLa cells transfected with the vector alone. Immunoprecipitation of a 190 kDa photolabeled protein with MRP1-sepcific monoclonal antibodies (QCRL-1, MRPr1, and MRPm6) confirmed the identity of this protein as MRP1. Analysis of MRP1-IAARh123 interactions showed that photolabeling of membranes from HeLa-MRP1 with increasing concentrations of IAARh123 was saturable, and was inhibited with excess of IAARh123. Furthermore, the photoaffinity labeling of MRP1 with IAARh123 was greatly reduced in the presence of excess Leukotreine C(4) or MK571, but to a lesser extent with excess doxorubicin, colchicine or chloroquine. Cell growth assays showed 5-fold and 14-fold increase in the IC(50) of HeLa-MRP1 to Rh123 and the Etoposide VP16 relative to HeLa cells, respectively. Analysis of Rh123 fluorescence in HeLa and HeLa-MRP1 cells with or without ATP suggests that cross-resistance to Rh123 is in part due to reduced drug accumulation in the cytosol of HeLa-MRP1 cells. Mild digestion of purified IAARh123-photolabeled MRP1 with trypsin showed two large polypeptides (approximately 111 and approximately 85 kDa) resulting from cleavage in the linker domain (L1) connecting the multiple-spanning domains MSD0 and MSD1 to MSD2. Exhaustive proteolysis of purified IAARh123-labeled 85 and 111 kDa polypeptides revealed one (6 kDa) and two (approximately 6 plus 4 kDa) photolabeled peptides, respectively. Resolution of total tryptic digest of IAARh123-labeled MRP1 by HPLC showed three radiolabeled peaks consistent with the three Staphylococcus aureus V8 cleaved peptides from the Cleveland maps. Together, the results of this study show direct binding of IAARh123 to three sites that localize to the N- and C-domains of MRP1. Moreover, IAARh123 provides a sensitive and specific probe to study MRP1-drug interactions.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
