| PubMed Abstract | Members of the Organic Anion Transporter Polypeptides (OATP) are integral membrane proteins responsible for facilitating the transport of organic anions across the cell membrane. OATP1B1 (SLCO1B1), ...Members of the Organic Anion Transporter Polypeptides (OATP) are integral membrane proteins responsible for facilitating the transport of organic anions across the cell membrane. OATP1B1 (SLCO1B1), the prototypic OATP family member, is the most abundant uptake transporter in the liver and a key mediator of the hepatic uptake and clearance of numerous endogenous and xenobiotic compounds. It serves as a locus of important drug-drug interactions, such as those between statins and cyclosporine A, and carries the potential to enable liver-targeting therapeutics. In this study, we report cryo-EM structures of OATP1B1 and its complexes with one of its statin substrates, atorvastatin, and an inhibitor, cyclosporine A. This structural analysis has yielded insights into the mechanisms underlying the OATP1B1-mediated transport of statins and the inhibitory effect of cyclosporine A. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the molecular processes involved in drug transport and offer potential avenues for the development of targeted medications for liver-related conditions. |
