In both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, there are proteins that reside in the Plasma membrane which catalyze the export of specific peptides, proteins, and other macromolecules. Similar molecules are located in the membranes that delimit intracellular organelles and appear to mediate the import of polypeptides into these compartments. The dedicated transporters that are responsible for these transmembrane translocation events are all members of a very large superfamily of integral membrane proteins that share extensive sequence similarity and domain organization and also contain a highly conserved motif that confers on these transporters the ability to bind and hydrolyze ATE Hence, this family of membrane-bound transporters has been called the ATP-binding cassette or" ABC" proteins (Higgins 1992) or the" traffic ATPases"(Ames et al. 1990). One representative member of this class of specialized membrane proteins is the STE6 gene product (Ste6p) of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Kuchler et al. 1989; McGrath and Varshavsky 1989). Here we review the evidence that Ste6p is a member of the ABC family of membrane-bound transporters and the findings that demonstrate that Ste6p is responsible for the secretion of the peptide mating pheromone, a-factor, from haploid cells of the MATa genotype. We also present more recent data on the structure, localization, and function of Ste6p. Using Ste6p as the paradigm, we also address experimentally additional questions about the physiological role of this type of transporter, including (1) whether Ste6p can mediate the export of another peptide from yeast cells other than a-factor;(2) whether a mammalian homolog of Ste6p, the human mdrl gene product or" P-glycoprotein," first recognized because of its ability to confer multidrug resistance to animal cells in culture (Endicott and Ling 1989; Gottesman and Pastan 1993), can substitute for Ste6p in vivo; and (3) how many ABC-type transporters there might be in a eukaryotic cell, even in an organism, like S. cerevisiae, with a relatively small genome size (~ 15 Mb)(Olson 1991). ura3-52 leu2-3,112 his3-11, 15 trpl-1 ade2-1 canl-lO0) and its isogenic ste6A derivative, WKK7 (ste6A:: HIS3), constructed as described previously (Kuchler et al. 1989).
