| Abstract | A key goal is to correct defective folding of mutant ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters, as they cause diseases such as cystic fibrosis. P-glycoprotein (ABCB1) is a useful model system because introduction of an arginine at position 65 of the first transmembrane (TM) segment could repair folding defects. To determine the mechanism of arginine rescue, we first tested the effects of introducing arginines at other positions in TM1 (residues 52-72) of a P-glycoprotein processing mutant (G251V) that is defective in folding and trafficking to the cell surface (20% maturation efficiency). We found that arginines introduced into one face of the TM1 helix (positions 52, 55, 56, 59, 60, 62, 63, 66, and 67) inhibited maturation, whereas arginines on the opposite face of the helix promoted (positions 64, 65, 68, and 71) or had little effect (positions 61, and 69) on maturation. Arginines at positions 61, 64, 65, and 68 appeared to lie close to the drug binding sites as they reduced the apparent affinity for drug substrates such as vinblastine and verapamil. Therefore, arginines that promoted maturation may face an aqueous drug translocation pathway, whereas those that inhibited maturation may face the lipid bilayer. The highest maturation efficiencies (60-85%) were observed with the Arg-65 and Arg-68 mutants. Mutations that removed hydrogen bond acceptors (Y950F/Y950A or Y953F/Y953A) in TM11 predicted to lie close to Arg-65 or Arg-68 inhibited maturation but did not affect maturation of the G251V parent. Therefore, arginine may rescue defective folding by promoting packing of the TM segments through hydrogen bond interactions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
