However, the underlying transport mechanism of hMRP4 remains unclear due to a lack of high-resolution structures. Here, we use cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to resolve its near-atomic structures in the apo inward-open and the ATP-bound outward-open states. We also capture the PGE1 substrate-bound structure and, importantly, the inhibitor-bound structure of hMRP4 in complex with sulindac, revealing that substrate and inhibitor compete for the same hydrophobic binding pocket although with different binding modes. Moreover, our cryo-EM structures, together with molecular dynamics simulations and biochemical assay, shed light on the structural basis of the substrate transport and inhibition mechanism, with implications for the development of hMRP4-targeted drugs. |
