It is supposed that ribonucleoprotein particle vault is involved in detoxification processes and thus is related to multidrug resistance. The vault is composed of three proteins and three vault RNAs, hvg-1, -2 and -3. The direct interactions between vault components and drugs were not reported. Recently, we revealed the interactions between vault RNAs and mitoxantrone. Here, we examined the interactions between hvg-2 and six antitumor drugs by a chemical shift perturbation method of NMR. It was found that in addition to mitoxantrone, hvg-2 can interact with two drugs basically in the same way using the same site. The difference in the affinity was also noticed among three drugs. Hvg-2 did not bind to the other three drugs. It is suggested that the common or closely related chemical structure of the positive three drugs is recognized by vault RNA.
