The present study identifies and characterizes a novel ATP-dependent bile-salt transport system in isolated canalicular rat liver plasma-membrane (cLPM) vesicles. ATP (1-5 mM) stimulated taurocholate uptake into cLPM vesicles between 6- and 8-fold above equilibrium uptake values (overshoot) and above values for incubations in the absence of ATP. The ATP-dependent portion of taurocholate uptake was 2-fold higher in the presence of equilibrated KNO3 as compared with potassium gluconate, indicating that the stimulatory effect of ATP was not due to the generation of an intravesicular positive membrane potential. Saturation kinetics revealed a very high affinity (Km approximately 2.1 microM) of the system for taurocholate. The system could only minimally be stimulated by nucleotides other than ATP. Furthermore, it was preferentially inhibited by conjugated univalent bile salts. Further strong inhibitory effects were observed with valinomycin, oligomycin, 4,4'-di-isothiocyano-2,2'-stilbene disulphonate, sulphobromophthalein, leukotriene C4 and N-ethylmaleimide, whereas nigericin, vanadate, GSH, GSSG and daunomycin exerted only weak inhibitory effects or none at all. These results indicate the presence of a high-affinity primary ATP-dependent bile-salt transport system in cLPM vesicles. This transport system might be regulated in vivo by the number of carriers present at the perspective transport site(s), which, in addition to the canalicular membrane, might also include pericanalicular membrane vesicles.

miR-199a-5p inhibits the expression of ABCB11 in obstructive cholestasis.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the role of miR-199a-5p in reducing the expression of the ABCB11 efflux transporter in mice with cholestasis, which is a condition affecting bile acid transport in the liver.
- - After common bile duct ligation (CBDL), miR-199a-5p was found to be significantly upregulated, leading to the inhibition of ABCB11 by targeting its mRNA.
- - Treatment with obeticholic acid (OCA), a nuclear receptor FXR agonist, increased ABCB11 levels and decreased miR-199a-5p expression, suggesting a mechanism for regulating ABCB11 during cholestasis.
Human ABCB1 with an ABCB11-like degenerate nucleotide binding site maintains transport activity by avoiding nucleotide occlusion.

Several ABC exporters carry a degenerate nucleotide binding site (NBS) that is unable to hydrolyze ATP at a rate sufficient for sustaining transport activity. A hallmark of a degenerate NBS is the lack of the catalytic glutamate in the Walker B motif in the nucleotide binding domain (NBD). The multidrug resistance transporter ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein) has two canonical NBSs, and mutation of the catalytic glutamate E556 in NBS1 renders ABCB1 transport-incompetent.

ABCB4/MDR3 is located in the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes and translocates PC-lipids from the cytoplasmic to the extracellular leaflet. ABCB4 is an ATP-dependent transporter that reduces the harsh detergent effect of the bile salts by counteracting self-digestion. To do so, ABCB4 provides PC lipids for extraction into bile.

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are the members of the efflux pumps that are responsible for the removal of cytotoxic substances by active transport. ABCB11, the bile salt efflux pump of hepatocytes, coordinates cellular excretion of numerous conjugated bile salts into the bile canaliculi, whereas ABCB4 acts as an ATP-dependent floppase translocating phosphatidylcholine from the inner to the outer leaflet of the bile canalicular membrane. Loss of functional ABCB11 and ABCB4 proteins causes early-onset refractory cholestasis or cholangiopathy.

A significant risk to the food chain is the presence of noxious pollutants in the feeds of animals whose products are used in human nutrition. Consequently, analytical methods and biosensors have been developed to detect these types of contaminates in feeds. Here we have evaluated whether the expression of TolC, a promiscuous component of several ATP-dependent efflux pumps in E.
