Figure Lengend Snippet: NanoBRET dilution assay reveals two putative heterodimers, ABCB5β/B6, and ABCB5β/B9. HEK-293T cells were transfected with decreasing amounts of NanoLuc and HaloTag constructs. Transfection started at 1 μg and gradually decreased to 0.125 μg per construct. DMSO refers to the technical negative control to which DMSO is added instead of ligand. Protein pairs serving as negative controls (ABCB2-ABCD1, ABCB3-ABCD1, ABCD1-ABCB5β) ( A ) and a positive control pair (ABCB2-ABCB3) ( B ) were tested alongside ABCB5β-ABCB6, ABCB5β-ABCB8, and ABCB5β-ABCB9 ( C ). Data are presented as mean ± SD. Simple linear regression was used to test whether the amount transfected significantly influenced the NanoBRET ratio ( n = 3). p -values are represented on graphs as ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, ∗∗ p < 0.01, and p > 0.05. For ABCB2-ABCD1 ( R 2 = 0.8719, F (1,10) = 68.07), ABCB3-ABCD1 ( R 2 = 0.6144, F (1,10) = 15.94), ABCB5β-ABCD1 ( R 2 = 0.6661, F (1,10) = 19.95), and ABCB5β-ABCB8 ( R 2 = 0.7526, F (1,10) = 30.41), the relation between both parameters was statistically significant. For ABCB2-ABCB3 ( R 2 = 0.0269, F (1,10) = 0.2767), ABCB5β-ABCB6 ( R 2 = 0.0011, F (1,10) = 0.0113), and ABCB5β-ABCB9 ( R 2 = 0.0204, F (1,10) = 0.2080), changes in the amount of transfected DNA did not influence the NanoBRET ratio. DMSO, dimethyl sulfoxyde; NanoBRET, nanoluciferase-based bioluminescence resonance energy transfer.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Saturation assay confirms specific ABCB5β–ABCB6 and ABCB5β–ABCB9 interactions. A , the concentration of the donor is held constant while the concentration of the acceptor is increased. If the interaction is specific, the signal will reach a plateau where all donors are saturated with acceptors, and luminescence will no longer increase. In the case of a nonspecific interaction, the signal will continue to increase linearly. For each square, the schematic gray halo represents the intensity of the NanoBRET signal observed from low to high. In graphs ( B and C ), the percent of the maximum NanoBRET ratio is plotted against the NanoLuc−HaloTag ratio. B , donor saturation assay for the positive control, ABCB2-ABCB3, and the negative controls, ABCB2-ABCD1, ABCB3-ABCD1, and ABCB5β-ABCD1. C , donor saturation assay for ABCB5β-ABCB6, ABCB5β-ABCB8, and ABCB5β-ABCB9. NanoBRET, nanoluciferase-based bioluminescence resonance energy transfer.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Coimmunoprecipitation of ABCB5β-ABCB6 and ABCB5β-ABCB9 demonstrates the presence of these heterodimers in Mel JuSo and UACC-257 cells. The Mel JuSo ( A ) or UACC-257 ( B ) proteins were immunoprecipitated (IP) with either an anti-ABCB5, anti-ABCB6, or anti-ABCB9 antibody. The precipitated proteins were revealed by Western blotting after SDS-PAGE using the corresponding antibody indicated on the right side of each blot. Fifteen micrograms of total proteins from the starting cell lysate were loaded in the first lane, while the total IP eluate was loaded on the gel. ABCB5β was expressed in High-Five insect cells, and total membrane proteins were prepared and loaded on the gel (High5 ABCB5β) as a complementary molecular weight marker when using anti-ABCB5. An isotype control was performed to determine the specificity of the signal obtained in Western blot.

The ABCB6_P-gp linker_ABCB5β has 17 transmembrane helices and the ABCB5β_P-gp linker_ABCB9 and ABCB9_P-gp linker_ABCB5β both have 16 transmembrane helices. The location of EQ mutations is represented by red Xs. B , the Coomassie-blue stained gel pixel intensity of the bands of interest were quantified using ImageJ (n = 3). C , the graph on the left shows the ATPase activity for all heterodimer chimeras and their corresponding EQ mutants measured in both the absence and presence of BeFx as described in the method section, total ATPase activity, and BeFx-sensitive ATPase activity, respectively. On the right , data represent BeFx-sensitive ATPase activity, which is calculated by subtracting BeFx ATPase activity from the total ATPase activity (n = 3). In all panels, the names of EQ mutants are shown in red . BeFx, beryllium fluoride.

Article Snippet: Five milligrams of total protein (from either HEK93T, Mel Juso, or UACC-257) in lysis buffer (120 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris, NP40 0.5%, 5 mM EDTA, 1× protease inhibitor) were incubated on a rotating wheel at 4 °C for 4 h with 1 μg of antibody: ABCB5 (600-401-A775, Rockland Immunochemicals), ABCB6 (G-10, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), ABCB9 (A-8, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), IgG Mouse (sc-2025, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dalla), and IgG Rabbit (sc-3888, Santa Cruz Biotechnology).
