3w9i | pdb_00003w9i
Structural basis for the inhibition of bacterial multidrug exporters
Function
[MEXB_PSEAE] The inner membrane transporter component of the MexAB-OprM efflux system that confers multidrug resistance. Also functions as the major efflux pump for n-hexane and p-xylene efflux. Over-expression of the pump increases antibiotic and solvent efflux capacities. Implicated in the secretion of the siderophore pyoverdine.[1] [2] [3] The ability to export antibiotics and solvents is dramatically decreased in the presence of the proton conductor carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), showing that an energized inner membrane is required for efflux. It is thought that the MexB subunit is a proton antiporter.[4] [5] [6]
