Abstract

AbstractFor G-type ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, a hydrophobic “di-leucine motif” as part of a hydrophobic extracellular gate has been described to separate a large substrate-binding cavity from a smaller upper cavity and proposed to act as a valve controlling drug extrusion.Here, we show that an L704F mutation in the hydrophobic extracellular gate of Arabidopsis ABCG36/PDR8/PEN3 uncouples the export of the auxin precursor indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) from that of the defense compound camalexin (CLX). Molecular dynamics simulations reveal an increase in free energy and pulling forces for CLX at both the entrance and exit sites of ABCG36L704F, respectively, providing a mechanistic rationale for the transport discrimination of CLX. Mutagenesis of L704 to tyrosine allows export of structurally related non-ABCG36 substrates, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and indole, suggesting an allosteric communication between the extracellular gate and the central substrate binding pocket.In summary, our work supports the conclusion that L704 is a key residue of the extracellular gate that provides a final quality control contributing to ABCG substrate specificity.
