ABC transporter-facilitated ATP conductive transport.

The concept that the cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator, the protein product of the CF gene, can conduct larger multivalent anions such as ATP as well as Cl- is controversial. In this review, I examine briefly past findings that resulted in controversy. It is not the goal of this review to revisit these disparate findings in detail. Rather, I focus intently on more recent studies, current studies in progress, and possible future directions that arose from the controversy and that may reconcile this issue. Important questions and hypotheses are raised as to the physiological roles that ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter-facilitated ATP transport and signaling may play in the control of epithelial cell function. Perhaps the identification of key biological paradigms for ABC transporter-mediated extracellular nucleotide signaling may unify and guide the CF research community and other research groups interested in ABC transporters toward understanding why ABC transporters facilitate ATP transport.
