Defective folding of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein missing Phe508 (DeltaF508) is the major cause of cystic fibrosis. The folding defect in DeltaF508 cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator might be correctable because misfolding of a P-glycoprotein (P-gp; ABCB1) mutant lacking the equivalent residue (DeltaY490) could be corrected with drug substrates or by introduction of an arginine residue into transmembrane (TM) segments 5 (I306R) or 6 (F343R). Possible mechanisms of arginine rescue were that they mimicked some of the effects of drug substrate interactions with P-gp or that they affected global folding such that all drug substrate/modulator interactions with P-gp were altered. To distinguish between these mechanisms, we tested whether arginines introduced into other TMs predicted to line the drug-binding pocket (TM1 or TM3) would affect folding. It was found that mutation of L65R(TM1) or T199R(TM3) promoted maturation of processing mutants. We then tested whether arginine suppressor mutations had local or global effects on P-gp interactions with drug substrates and modulators. The L65R(TM1), T199R(TM3), I306R(TM5), or F343R(TM6) mutations were introduced into the P-gp mutant L339C(TM6)/F728C(TM7), and thiol cross-linking was carried out in the presence of various concentrations of vinblastine, cyclosporin A, or rhodamine B. The presence of arginine residues reduced the apparent affinity of P-gp for vinblastine (L65R, T199R, and I306R), cyclosporin (I306R and F343R), or rhodamine B (F343R) by 4-60-fold. These results show that the arginine mutations affect a subset of drug-binding sites and suggest that they rescue processing mutants by mimicking drug substrate interactions with P-gp.
