cDNA Cloning of a Short Type of Multidrug Resistance Protein Homologue,SMRP,from a Human Lung Cancer Cell Line

Members of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) superfamily are involved in the energy-dependent transport of a wide variety of substrates including anticancer agents across the membranes. We have cloned a cDNA fragment including a novel ABC sequence from a cisplatin-resistant human lung adenocarcinoma ce...

Description
Summary:Members of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) superfamily are involved in the energy-dependent transport of a wide variety of substrates including anticancer agents across the membranes. We have cloned a cDNA fragment including a novel ABC sequence from a cisplatin-resistant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line, PC-14/CDDP, by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using degenerate primers and screened a cDNA library using the cDNA fragment as a probe. A full-length cDNA clone, BM4.8, was obtained. Sequence analysis showed that the cDNA encoded a short type of multidrug resistance protein homologue,SMRP,by computed homology search.SMRPwas composed of 946 amino acids and had two ABCs with walker A and B motifs. This gene was mapped on chromosome 3 at band q27 by fluorescencein situhybridization (FISH) analysis and was found to be expressed in various tissues by Northern blot analysis.
