The human ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily.
The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily contains membrane proteins that translocate a variety of substrates across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. Genetic variation in these genes is the cause of or contributor to a wide variety of human disorders with Mendelian and complex inheritance, including cystic fibrosis, neurological disease, retinal degeneration, cholesterol and bi...
متن کاملStructural Features of the ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) Transporter ABCA3
In this review we reported and discussed the structural features of the ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) transporter ABCA3 and how the use of bioinformatics tools could help researchers to obtain a reliable structural model of this important transporter. In fact, a model of ABCA3 is still lacking and no crystallographic structures (of the transporter or of its orthologues) are available. With the adv...
متن کاملThe role of ATP-binding cassette transporter A2 in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia multidrug resistance
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is one of the most prevalent hematologic malignancies in children. Although the cure rate of ALL has improved over the past decades, the most important reason for ALL treatment failure is multidrug resistance (MDR) phenomenon. The current study aims to explain the mechanisms involved in multidrug resistance of childhood ALL, and introduces ATP-binding cassette...
متن کاملThe ATP/substrate stoichiometry of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter OpuA.
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transport proteins catalyze the translocation of substrates at the expense of hydrolysis of ATP, but the actual ATP/substrate stoichiometry is still controversial. In the osmoregulated ABC transporter (OpuA) from Lactococcus lactis, ATP hydrolysis and substrate translocation are tightly coupled, and the activity of right-side-in and inside-out reconstituted OpuA can b...
متن کاملATP-binding cassette superfamily transporter gene expression in human primary ovarian carcinoma.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to attempt to characterize patients with unfavorable clinical outcome by the relative mRNA levels of ABC transporter expression in their tumor samples and to examine whether relative mRNA levels of each of the ABC transporters can be a useful predictor of progression-free survival in advanced ovarian carcinoma. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We examined tumor samples...
