Abstract
Multidrug resistance presents a major obstacle to the treatment of infectious diseases and cancer. LmrA, a bacterial ATP-dependent multidrug transporter, mediates efflux of hydrophobic cationic substrates, including antibiotics. The substrate-binding domain of LmrA was identified by using photo-affinity ligands, proteolytic degradation of LmrA, and identification of ligand-modified peptide fragments with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time of flight mass spectrometry. In the nonenergized state, labeling occurred in the α-helical transmembrane segments (TM) 3, 5 and 6 of the membrane-spanning domain. Upon nucleotide binding, the accessibility of TM5 for substrates increased, whereas that of TM6 decreased. Inverse changes were observed upon ATP-hydrolysis. An atomic-detail model of dimeric LmrA was generated based on the template structure of the homologous transporter MsbA from Vibrio cholerae, allowing a three-dimensional visualization of the substrate-binding domain. Labeling of TM3 of one monomer occurred in a predicted area of contact with TM5 or TM6 of the opposite monomer, indicating substrate-binding at the monomer/monomer interface. Inverse changes in the reactivity of TM segments 5 and 6 suggest that substrate binding and release involves a repositioning of these helices during the catalytic cycle.Keywords
