Aim: Drugs in breast cancer treatment suffer resistance and drug efflux from ATP-binding
cassette (ABC) efflux transporter protein. Drugs inhibiting BCRP suffer activity alteration
due to sequence variants. It is imperative to investigate role of mutant variants using
structure based aspects of drug binding.
Method: In presentwork,we included single nucleotide polymorphisms like F208S, S248P and
F431L in BCRP structure and evaluated their role in alteration of drug binding affinities using
computational approaches. Comparativemodeling of BCRP 3D structurewas achieved using
various tools available followed by structure validation. Mutagenesis and its impact by SNPs
was attained in 3D structure of BCRP. A set of selected and established BCRP inhibitors were
further docked into binding site to record the drug resistance in mutant variants.
Results: Nucleotidebinding (NB)domain (258AA)andtransmembrane (TM)domain (291AA)of
BCRP were modeled separately and assembled together to generate a single structure. Ram-
achandranPlot confirmedqualityofmodeled structuresalongwithmainchainandsidechain
parameters. Mutagenesis included threemain variants (F208S, S248P and F431L) using Triton

1. Introduction
2. MethodsBreast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) is amembrane-bound
protein andbelongs to theATP-binding cassette family. BCRP is
also called as ABCG2 which is present in many normal tissues
and solid tumors including bloodebrain barrier, placenta, liver,
small intestine, adrenal gland, testis and stem cells.1 BCRP
deliberate drug resistance to many anti-cancer agents such as
irinotecan, topotecan, tyrosine kinase inhibitors and mitox-
antrone. BCRP is ATP-binding cassette (ABC) efflux transporter
that deliberatesmultidrug resistance in breast cancer and also
plays an important role in the absorption, distribution and
elimination of drugs.1,2 It is of elementary significance to
investigate the function and binding site of BCRP protein. BCRP
contains 655-amino acid with a single nucleotide binding
domain (NBD) and six transmembrane domains (TMD). BCRP is
a half-transporter, and thus requires at least two NBDs to
function as a drug efflux pump. Hence, functional BCRP exists
as either homodimers or homo-multimers.3,4 3D structure of
BCRP has not been solved in Protein Data Bank yet. Hence the
aimof thecurrent study is to construct the3Dstructureof BCRP
to investigate the interaction of ligands of BCRP in wild and
mutated models in order to define possible binding sites.

Protein sequence has been retrieved from UniProtKB/Swiss-
Prot.5 Present study used Homology modeling methods to
construct the 3D structure of Human BCRP. Human BCRP ho-
mology model was built using MODELLER (Figs. 2 and 3), a
Computational algorithm for Protein structural assessment.6
The template protein was searched through Delta Blast algo-
rithm against PDB Database which maintain by RCSB.7 High
resolution of Crystal Structure of the ATP-bound Escherichia
coli MalK (PBD ID: 1Q12)8 and Staphylococcus aureus permease
protein SAV1866 (PDB ID: 2HYD)9 were used as a template to
model nucleotide binding domain (NBD) and transmembrane
(TM) domains respectively. It is mandatory to convert the
target sequence into MODELLER format. MODELLER requires
the sequence in PIR format in order to be read. The FASTAwas
converted to PIR using Readseq, an algorithm developed by
EMBL.6 Structure similarity has been performed by using the
profile.build(), an in-built command in MODELLER.10 The
result has been then compared with Blast result. The build_-
profile.py has been used for the local dynamic algorithm to
identify homologous sequences against target BCRP sequence.
At the end of this process a log file has been generated which
ate sequence based on secondary structure using DSSP and

is named build_profile.log which contains errors and warn-
ings in log file.11e13
3. Results and discussions
3.1. BCRP structure modeling
The result generated here was the same templates 1Q12 and
2HYD, that was earlier obtained fromDelta blast alignment. In
order to ratify the conserved secondary structure profiles, a
multiple sequence alignment program DSSP14 and PSIPRED15
was utilized which identified the corresponding position of
amino acids in the query sequence of BCRP and template
Protein (Fig. 1). This is a confirmatory statement to build the
strong alignment in homology modeling.6
For a comparative investigation, Homology Modeling also
been performed using various softwares like SPDBV, MOD-
ELLER, CPH, Phyre, PS2, 3Djigsaw, Esypred3D etc. Structure
validation has been studies using Ramachandran Plot16 by
Procheck.17 Ramachandran Plot shows the MODELLER which
is the bettermodel have out of 428 obtained amino acids 90.1%
residues are in core region, 8.2 are in additional allowed re-
gion, 1.1 are in generous allowed region and 0.6% are in dis-
allowed region (Table 1).
After satisfactory validation using Ramachandran dia-
gram, it is mandatory to analyze main chain and side chain
parameters using Procheck tool for structure validation. In
retrieval and perusal of parametric values from main chain
validation, it was confirmed that the ratio of % of residues
(>90%) to resolution in angstrom (2.0) fits in the expected

place. Standard deviation to resolution ratio touches the bot-
tom values of the region indicating acceptance of the model
(Fig. 4). Bad contacts in themodels structure remained below 5
per 100 residues which again add up to the better quality of
homologymodel. In addition, zeta angle standard deviation in
range and G-factor near 0 values suggests appreciable protein
structure quality (Fig. 5). Moving to side chain parameters,
Chi-1 gauche minus and Chi-1 Trans parameters fell below
required belt of optimal region and thus suggest improved
modeling efforts related to side chain minimization. Various
side chain parameters confirmed BETTER status in graphical
presentation view and thus the protein 3D structure model
retains good quality of main chain and side chain parameters
(Table 2).
3.2. Mutagenesis and mutational assessment of HumanBCRP
Mutational investigation of BCRP has been carried out from
various literature. Natural variants and Non-natural variants
have been obtained from literature and experimental infor-
mation. The transport activity of Q141K would be expected to
be lesser as compared to BCRP wild-type. BCRP Wild-type
generally had lower plasma levels of BCRP substrate drugs
than Q141 variant.18 A systematic study of 16 natural variants
of BCRP showed that the variants Q126stop, F208S, S248P,
E334stop, and S441N were defective in porphyrin transport,
whereas F489L displayed approximately 10% of the transport
activity of wild-type BCRP19 (Fig. 6). PolyPhen-2 software has
been used for selecting the effective mutagenesis for the
present study.20,21

PolyPhen-2 reports that out of all the 16 SNPs, G51C, F208S,
S248P, R482G, R482T and F431L are probably and possibly
damaging with an average score of 0.630 (sensitivity: 0.64;
specificity: 0.63). HenceMutagenesis has been carried out only
for the above mentioned Variants. Mutagenesis model was
constructed using TRITON,22 a Linux based graphic software
package for In silico construction of protein mutants (Fig. 7).
Mutagenesis has been carried out only for F208S, S248P and
F431L as the remaining mutants are not covered in the
sequence of homology model.

3.3. Molecular docking studies of BCRP
Flexible molecular docking studies using Molegro Virtual
Docker (MVD) produced appreciable results in terms of se-
lective interactions with wild BCRP and its mutant (F208S,
S248P and F431L) variants. 26 Inhibitors, selected by simi-
larity structure search from BindingDB and subsequently
from Pubchem database, were docked in the inhibitor bind-
ing site of BCRP inhibitors. Results of molecular docking are
presented in Table 3. Results showed different magnitudes of

Detailed report comprising MolDock score, rerank score and
RMSD values of docked inhibitors have been produced in

Docking scores are mathematical calculations to quantify
force-fields between binding site of receptors and interacting
ligands. For qualitative discussion, we should identify partic-

Effect of mutagenesis in BCRP and drug response can be
clearly recorded from below interactions and binding affinity
scores of inhibitors with respect to wild and mutant isoforms.
Alteration of a single amino acid via mutagenesis introduces
major changes in spatial arrangement of amino acid in 3D
structure, thereafter, leading to response variation in different
genotypes. It is clear from Figs. 8 and 9 that single nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP) in BCRP has completely altered the in-
teractions among binding site and ligand atoms. There are
very few amino acids repeated in wild and mutated isoforms
to get involved in H-bond and steric interactions.
4. Conclusion
Extensive computational approaches resulted in successful
molecular modeling of BCRP structure using a set of compar-
ativemodeling tools. Satisfactory structure validation allowed
BCRP submission to mutagenesis including F208S, S248P and
F431Lmutant variation in its wild structure. A set of inhibitors
was docked subsequently with wild-type and all threemutant
isoforms to record impact of mutagenesis on drug binding
response. Present work clearly indicates profound role of
genotypic variants of BCRP responsible for altered drug ac-
tivity in different patients. We suggest an imperative and
extensive laboratory research on BCRP and its variants
developing drug resistance against established drugs in pa-
tients. Present work confers relation of mutant variants with
drug resistance in breast cancer patients.
