摘要

Monocarboxylate transporter isoforms 1-4, MCT, of the solute carrier SLC16A family facilitate proton-coupled transport of l-lactate. Growth of tumors that exhibit the Warburg effect, that is, high rates of anaerobic glycolysis despite availability of oxygen, relies on swift l-lactate export, whereas oxygenic cancer cells import circulating l-lactate as a fuel. Currently, MCTs are viewed as promising anticancer targets. Small-molecule inhibitors have been found, and, recently, high-resolution protein structures have been obtained. Key questions, however, regarding the exact binding sites of cysteine-modifying inhibitors and the substrate translocation cycle lack a conclusive experimental basis. Here, we report Cys159 of the ubiquitous human MCT1 to reside in a critical hinge region of the alternating access-type transporter. We identified Cys159 as the binding site of the organomercurial pCMBS. The inhibitory effect of pCMBS was proposed to be indirect via modification of the chaperone basigin. We provide evidence that pCMBS locks MCT1 in its outward open conformation in a wedge-like fashion. We corroborated this finding using smaller cysteine-modifying reagents that size-dependently inhibited l-lactate transport. The smallest modifiers targeted additional cysteines as shown by a C159S mutant. We found a Cys399/Cys400 pair to constitute the second hinge of the transporter that tolerated only individual replacement by serine. The hinge cysteines, in particular the selectively addressable Cys159, provide natural anchors for placing probes into MCTs to report, for instance, on the electrostatics or hydration upon binding of the transported l-lactate substrate and the proton cosubstrate.
