Here we demonstrate that a ubiquitin E3-ligase, FBXO21, targets the multidrug resistance transporter, ABCB1, also known as P-glycoprotein (P-gp), for proteasomal degradation. We also show that the Ser291-phosphorylated form of the multifunctional protein and stem cell marker, CD44, inhibits FBXO21-directed degradation of P-gp. Thus, CD44 increases P-gp mediated drug resistance and represents a potential therapeutic target in P-gp-positive cells.
在此我们证明,泛素E3连接酶FBXO21靶向多药耐药转运蛋白ABCB1(也称为P-糖蛋白,P-gp),使其通过蛋白酶体降解。我们还表明,多功能蛋白和干细胞标志物CD44的Ser291磷酸化形式可抑制FBXO21介导的P-gp降解。因此,CD44增强了P-gp介导的耐药性,并且是P-gp阳性细胞中的一个潜在治疗靶点。
