Crystal structures of ABCB10 in apo- and nucleotide-bound states reveal a classic exporter-fold ABC transporter in an open-inwards conformation; unexpectedly, ABCB10 adopts an open-inwards conformation even when complexed with non-hydrolysable ATP analogs (unlike other transporters that adopt open-outwards conformations with ATP), and a portal between two transmembrane helices is proposed to assist substrate entry into the binding cavity. |

ABCB10 contains an unusually long 105-amino acid mitochondrial targeting presequence (mTP); the central subdomain (aa 36-70) is sufficient for mitochondrial import, while the N-terminal subdomain participates in proper inner membrane import. Hydrophobic character of the mTP is required (L46Q/I47Q mutation greatly diminishes targeting). ABCB10 homodimerizes and homo-oligomerizes in the mitochondrial inner membrane as shown by mass spectrometry of chemically cross-linked immunoprecipitated protein. |

ABCB10 physically interacts with mitoferrin-1 (Mfrn1/Slc25a37) in the mitochondrial inner membrane of erythroid cells, and this interaction stabilizes Mfrn1 protein, thereby enhancing Mfrn1-dependent mitochondrial iron importation. The binding domain maps to the N-terminus of Mfrn1. |

ABC-me/ABCB10 is essential for erythropoiesis in vivo: ABCB10-knockout mice die at embryonic day 12.5 with near-complete loss of primitive erythropoiesis; knockout erythroid precursors show increased mitochondrial superoxide production and protein carbonylation, and treatment with the SOD2 mimetic MnTBAP rescues survival and differentiation, placing ABCB10 upstream of oxidative stress-mediated apoptosis in erythroid development. |

Gly497 and Lys498 (Walker A), Glu624 (Walker B), and Gly602 (C-loop) in ABCB10 are required for proper ATP binding and hydrolysis. Oxidized glutathione (GSSG) stimulates ABCB10 ATPase activity without affecting ATP binding, while reduced glutathione (GSH) inhibits both ATP binding and hydrolysis; ABCB10 is glutathionylated at Cys547. Delta-aminolevulinic acid (dALA) does not alter ATP binding, excluding it as a direct substrate. |

ATPase activity of ABCB10 is necessary for hemoglobinization in erythroid MEL cells. Reduced ABCB10 does not cause protoporphyrin IX accumulation and does not affect ALA export from mitochondria, ruling out ALA as a transported substrate. ABCB10 silencing alters the heme biosynthesis transcriptional profile via Bach1-mediated repression, which can be partially rescued by overexpression of Alas2 or Gata1. |

ABCB10 is a mitochondrial biliverdin exporter: ABCB10 reconstituted into liposomes transports biliverdin, and ABCB10 deletion causes accumulation of biliverdin inside mitochondria. In obese mice, ABCB10-driven biliverdin export amplifies cytosolic bilirubin content, which inactivates PTP1B and elevates SREBP-1c, exacerbating insulin resistance and steatosis; restoration of cellular bilirubin in ABCB10 KO hepatocytes reverses improvements in mitochondrial function and PTP1B inactivation. |

Zinc-mesoporphyrin stimulates ABCB10 ATPase activity (~70% increase) in purified ABCB10 reconstituted in lipid nanodiscs; this stimulation is specific to ABCB10 (not a bacterial ABC transporter control) and does not require typical heme regulatory motifs (cysteine-less ABCB10 also responds). Delta-aminolevulinic acid and glutathione do not activate ABCB10, further excluding them as direct substrates. |

ABCB10 expression is regulated by the transcription factor Nrf2 in blood-brain barrier endothelial cells: Nrf2 silencing suppresses ABCB10 protein, while Nrf2 activation by sulforaphane upregulates ABCB10. Conversely, ABCB10 knockdown induces Nrf2-driven antioxidant responses and elevates endothelial-monocyte adhesion. |

Loss of Abcb10 in erythroid cells causes decreased cellular arginine levels, altered expression of amino acid transporters, and activation of the ATF4 nutrient stress pathway (increased eIF2α phosphorylation, upregulated ATF4 and targets CHOP, Chac1, Rars), with arginine supplementation improving proliferation and hemoglobinization in Abcb10-null cells. |

Conserved transmembrane arginine residues R232 and R295 of ABCB10 are required for biliverdin-stimulated ATPase activity; mutation of these residues decreases stimulation by biliverdin and alters conformational equilibrium detected by LRET. Biliverdin dimethyl ester does not stimulate (and mesobiliverdin inhibits) ABCB10 ATPase, indicating specific complementarity between biliverdin functional groups and the substrate binding pocket. GDN detergent abolishes biliverdin-induced stimulation, suggesting it interferes with substrate binding. |
