Q

ATP-binding Cassette Domain: Multi-Drug Resistance

Reaction Cycle:

A
  1. Channel open to cytoplasm.
  2. Substrates bind, conf. change in ABC domain.
  3. ATP binds ABC domains, more structural changes, orient substrate to face outside of cell.
  4. conf. has reduced affinity for substrate, allows release.
  5. ATP hydrolysis - resets transporter to initial state.
