P-glycoprotein extrudes a large variety of xenobiotics from the cell, thereby protecting tissues from their toxic effects. The machinery underlying unidirectional multidrug pumping remains unknown, largely due to the lack of high-resolution structural information regarding the alternate conformational states of the molecule. Here we report a pair of structures of homodimeric P-glycoprotein: an outward-facing conformational state with bound nucleotide and an inward-facing apo state, at resolutions of 1.9 angstrom and 3.0 angstrom, respectively. Features that can be clearly visualized at this high resolution include ATP binding with octahedral coordination of Mg2+; an inner chamber that significantly changes in volume with the aid of tight connections among transmembrane helices (TM) 1, 3, and 6; a glutamate-arginine interaction that stabilizes the outward-facing conformation; and extensive interactions between TM1 and TM3, a property that distinguishes multidrug transporters from floppases. These structural elements are proposed to participate in the mechanism of the transporter.
