A distinct mechanism for the ABC transporter BtuCD–BtuF revealed by the dynamics of complex formation [PDF]
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are integral membrane proteins that translocate a diverse array of substrates across cell membranes. We present here the dynamics of complex formation of three structurally characterized ABC transporters—the BtuCD ...

The expression of ATP-binding cassette transporters in hypertensive patients [PDF]
Cholesterol efflux is regulated by cholesterol transporters, including adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporters, A1, G1 (ABCA1, ABCG1), and scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI). We have investigated whether the expression of these transporters/receptor is altered in patients with hypertension and also studied their functional effects ...

Not only P-glycoprotein: amplification of the ABCB1-containing chromosome region 7q21 confers multidrug resistance upon cancer cells by coordinated overexpression of an assortment of resistance-related proteins [PDF]
The development of drug resistance continues to be a dominant hindrance toward curative cancer treatment. Overexpression of a wide-spectrum of ATP-dependent efflux pumps, and in particular of ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein or MDR1) is a well-known resistance ...

Structure and mechanism of ATP-binding cassette transporters [PDF]
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters constitute a large superfamily of integral membrane proteins that includes both importers and exporters. In recent years, several structures of complete ABC transporters have been determined by X-ray crystallography.
