Cryo-EM structure of multidrug efflux pump MexAB-OprM (60 degree state)

Loading... Status: waiting for Mol* initialization Structural highlights 6iol is a 12 chain structure with sequence from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: Electron Microscopy, Resolution 3.76Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function MEXA_PSEAE The periplasmic linker 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. Required for assembly of the MexA/MexB/OprM complex. Implicated in the secretion of the siderophore pyoverdine. 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.
