TLDR
Data provided provide further evidence that P-glycoprotein is bifunctional with both transport and channel activities and implications for the design of chemotherapeutic drugs and for the function of the related cystic fibrosis gene product, CFTR are discussed.

Mammalian ABC Transporters in Health and Disease

TL;DR: This work focuses on three topics: ABC transporters transporting drugs (xenotoxins) and drug conjugates, and a rapidly increasing number of ABC Transporters found to play a role in lipid transport.

Homozygous disruption of the murine MDR2 P-glycoprotein gene leads to a complete absence of phospholipid from bile and to liver disease

TL;DR: It is concluded that the mdr2 P-glycoprotein has an essential role in the secretion of phosphatidylcholine into bile and hypothesize that it may be a phospholipid transport protein or phospholIPid flippase.

Molecular Structure and Physiological Function of Chloride Channels

TL;DR: The loss of distinct Cl- channels leads to an impairment of transepithelial transport in cystic fibrosis and Bartter's syndrome, to increased muscle excitability in myotonia congenita, to reduced endosomal acidification and impaired endocytosis in Dent's disease, and to impaired extracellular acidification by osteoclasts and osteopetrosis.

CFTR Is a Conductance Regulator as well as a Chloride Channel

TL;DR: This review focuses on a plethora of studies showing that CFTR also regulates other ion channel proteins, and it is the hope of the authors that the reader will take with him or her the message thatCFTR is a conductance regulator as well as a Cl- channel.

Distantly related sequences in the alpha- and beta-subunits of ATP synthase, myosin, kinases and other ATP-requiring enzymes and a common nucleotide binding fold.

TL;DR: Related sequences in both alpha and beta and in other enzymes that bind ATP or ADP in catalysis help to identify regions contributing to an adenine nucleotide binding fold in both ATP synthase subunits.

Structural model of ATP-binding proteins associated with cystic fibrosis, multidrug resistance and bacterial transport.

TL;DR: A tertiary structure model of the ATP-binding cassettes characteristic of this class of transport system is presented, based on similarities between the predicted secondary structures of members of this family and the previously determined structure of adenylate kinase.
