Drug, Nucleotide, and Lipid Interactions with P-glycoprotein
Project Summary P-glycoprotein pumps drugs, xenobiotics and nutrients out of cells via a partially characterized ATP-dependent mechanism. Due to the extreme substrate promiscuity of P-gp, it contributes to the disposition of nearly all small molecule drugs and to drug-drug interactions. P-gp may be particularly important in cancer cell drug resistance due to its over expression in several cancers. The aims of this proposal are to fill knowledge gaps in three distinct aspects of P-gp mechanism. Each aim shares the common mechanistic element of conformational dynamics. The first aim is to define the P-gp conformations at low ATP occupancy in order to understand how they control downstream…
