Multidrug resistance protein 3 (MRP3) is an ATP-dependent transporter of 17β-estradiol 17β(d-glucuronide) (E217βG), leukotriene C4 (LTC4), methotrexate, and the bile salts taurocholate and glycocholate. In the present study, the role of a highly conserved Trp residue at position 1242 on MRP3 transport function was examined by expressing wild-type MRP3 and Ala-, Cys-, Phe-, Tyr-, and Pro-substituted mutants in human embryonic kidney 293T cells. Four MRP3-Trp1242 mutants showed significantly increased E217βG uptake, whereas transport by the Pro mutant was undetectable. Similarly, the Pro mutant did not transport LTC4. By comparison, LTC4transport by the Ala, Cys, Phe, and Tyr mutants was reduced by ∼35%. The Ala, Cys, Phe, and Tyr mutants all showed greatly reduced methotrexate and leucovorin transport, except the Tyr mutant, which transported leucovorin at levels comparable with wild-type MRP3. In contrast, the MRP3-Trp1242 substitutions did not significantly affect taurocholate transport or taurocholate and glycocholate inhibition of E217βG uptake. Thus Trp1242 substitutions markedly alter the substrate specificity of MRP3 but leave bile salt binding and transport intact.
