ABCG2 transports anticancer drugs via a closed-to-open switch

ABCG2 is a human ABC transporter that actively extrudes a wide variety of compounds from cells but the mechanisms of multidrug transport remain obscure. Here authors present cryo-EM structures of ABCG2 in the apo state, and bound to the three structurally distinct chemotherapeutics and demonstrate h...

Sumario:ABCG2 is a human ABC transporter that actively extrudes a wide variety of compounds from cells but the mechanisms of multidrug transport remain obscure. Here authors present cryo-EM structures of ABCG2 in the apo state, and bound to the three structurally distinct chemotherapeutics and demonstrate how these molecules open the closed conformation of the transporter.
