When expressed in tumor cells or tumor stem cells, ABCG2 confers multidrug resistance, contributing to the failure of chemotherapy.Molecular details orchestrating substrate translocation and ATP hydrolysis remain elusive. Here we present methods to concomitantly investigate substrate and nucleotide binding by ABCG2 in cells. Using the conformation-sensitive antibody 5D3, we show that the switch from the inward-facing (IF) to the outward-facing (OF) conformation of ABCG2 is induced by nucleotide binding. IF-OF transition is facilitated by substrates, and hindered by the inhibitor Ko143. Direct measurements of 5D3 and substrate binding to ABCG2 indicate that the high-to-low affinity switch of the drug binding site coincides with the transition from the IF to the OF conformation. Low substrate binding persists in the post-hydrolysis state, supporting that dissociation of the ATP hydrolysis products is required to reset the high substrate affinity IF conformation of ABCG2.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.A647Alexa 647 succinimidyl esterABCPPlacenta-Specific ABC transporterADME-Toxabsorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicityAMP-PNPadenylyl-imidodiphosphateBCRPBreast Cancer Resistance ProteinE3Sestrone-3-sulfatecryo-EMcryogenic electron microscopyCFTRCystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (ABCC7)FCSfluorescence correlation spectroscopyFBSfoetal bovine serumGFPgreen fluorescent proteinIFinward-facingmAbmonoclonal antibodyMXmitoxantroneMXRMitoxantrone Resistance ProteinNBDnucleotide binding domainOFoutward-facingPIpropidium iodideSLOstreptolysin-OTMDtransmembrane domainVivanadate}, URL = {https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2022/10/21/2022.10.19.512890}, eprint = {https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2022/10/21/2022.10.19.512890.full.pdf}, journal = {bioRxiv} }
