tissue-specific role of ATP binding cassette transporter A1 in atherogenesis
ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) facilitates cellular free cholesterol and phospholipid efflux across the plasma membrane to combine with apolipoproteins, forming nascent high density lipoproteins (HDL), the precursor of mature plasma HDL. Mutations in ABCA1 cause Tangier disease, …

Regulation and functional significance of ATP binding cassette transporters in human placenta
The aim of this project was to study ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters in the human placenta, in particular their regulation and role in trophoblast differentiation and survival. The presence and localisation of four major placental drug transporters, multidrug resistance gene product 1 and 3 …

Characterizing the role of ATP-binding cassette transporters in triterpenoid wax bloom production
… have yet to be fully elucidated. Numerous ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters have been characterized in model systems and crops, and some members of the G transporter subfamily are linked to the production of epicuticular wax blooms. Many studies utilizing model systems focus on …

Novel Strategies towards the Inhibition of ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) Transporters from Pathogenic Bacteria
Multidrug transporters in the ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) superfamily play critical roles in pathogenic bacteria. These transport systems are particularly important in conferring antibiotic resistance on the cell by mediating the efflux of a wide range of structurally unrelated compounds and the …

ROLE OF HEPATIC APOLIPOPROTEIN M AND ATP-BINDING CASSETTE TRANSPORTER A1 (ABCA1) IN LIPID METABOLISM
Apolipoprotein M (ApoM) and ABCA1 are both expressed in hepatocytes, but their impact on lipid metabolism remains poorly defined. ApoM binds to plasma HDL via its retained signal peptide and transports sphingosine 1–phosphate (S1P). We found that liver–specific apoM transgenic mice had …

The Roles of ATP-Binding Cassette Transporters G5 and G8 in Liver X Receptor-Mediated Sterol Trafficking
… expression of two target genes of LXRalpha , the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters Abcg5 and Abcg8, is required for the increase in sterol excretion, the decrease in fractional cholesterol absorption, and the increase in fecal neutral sterol excretion associated with LXR agonist treatment. …

Characterizing the Interaction of the ATP Binding Cassette Transporters (G subfamily) with the Intracellular Protein Lipid Environment
… equation and is mediated by members of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters represent a group of evolutionarily highly conserved cellular transmembrane proteins that mediate the ATP-dependent translocation of substrates across …

Investigations into the Lipid Transport Mechanisms and Energetics of Bacterial ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) Transporters MsbA and LmrA
… MsbA are two paradigms in research on multidrug ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. The bacterial transmembrane protein LmrA from *Lactococcus lactis* was the first known prokaryotic ABC transporter homologue of the mammalian multidrug resistance transporter ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein) …

THE ROLE OF HEPATOCYTE ATP-BINDING CASSETTE TRANSPORTER A1 (ABCA1) AND APOLIPOPROTEIN M (APOM) IN HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN (HDL) METABOLISM
Hepatic ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) and apolipoprotein M (apoM) both have been shown to influence high density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism. Hepatic ABCA1, a plasma membrane protein, functions to transport free cholesterol (FC) and phospholipids across the plasma membrane to …

An investigation on role of the ATP-binding cassette B5 (ABCB5) transporter as potential mediator of melanoma resistance to BRAF inhibition
… in the review in Chapter 1. Overexpression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters has been linked to multidrug resistance in numerous cancer types. These transporters expel the anti-cancer drugs out of the cell, thereby decreasing the intracellular concentration of the drug. In melanoma, …

Functional Expression of ABC Transporters at Blood-tissue Barriers: Relevance to Antiretroviral Drug Tissue Distribution
… and allow systemic viral repopulation. ATP-binding cassette drug efflux transporters i.e., P-glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein, have been previously shown to efflux antiretroviral drugs at the level of blood-brain barrier (Dallas, et al., 2004a;Lee, et al., 2007;Lee and …

Screening for purine transporters in S. aureus
… as an exogenous purine source. I identified an ATP-Binding Cassette transporter mutant that failed to grow under the selective purine transport conditions. Further growth characterization of the mutant revealed that the growth defect was not due to an inability to transport purines but rather to …
