The mexR repressor of the mexAB-oprM multidrug efflux operon in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: characterization of mutations compromising activity.
Mutations in mexR yield a multidrug resistance phenotype in nalB mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a result of derepression of the mexAB-oprM multidrug efflux operon. MexR produced by several nalB strains carried single amino acid changes that compromised MexR stability or its ability to dimerize. Changes at residues L95 and R21, however, produced a stable MexR protein capable of dimerizatio...
متن کاملnalD encodes a second repressor of the mexAB-oprM multidrug efflux operon of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The Pseudomonas aeruginosa nalD gene encodes a TetR family repressor with homology to the SmeT and TtgR repressors of the smeDEF and ttgABC multidrug efflux systems of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Pseudomonas putida, respectively. A sequence upstream of mexAB-oprM and overlapping a second promoter for this efflux system was very similar to the SmeT and TtgR operator sequences, and NalD bind...
متن کاملExpression of the multidrug resistance operon mexA-mexB-oprM in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: mexR encodes a regulator of operon expression.
The region upstream of the multiple antibiotic resistance efflux operon mexA-mexB-oprM in Pseudomonas aeruginosa was sequenced, and a gene, mexR, was identified. The predicted MexR product contains 147 amino acids with a molecular mass of 16,964 Da, which is consistent with the observed size of the overexpressed mexR gene product. MexR was homologous to MarR, the repressor of MarA-dependent mul...
متن کاملPentachlorophenol Induction of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa mexAB-oprM Efflux Operon: Involvement of Repressors NalC and MexR and the Antirepressor ArmR
Pentachlorophenol (PCP) induced expression of the NalC repressor-regulated PA3720-armR operon and the MexR repressor-controlled mexAB-oprM multidrug efflux operon of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. PCP's induction of PA3720-armR resulted from its direct modulation of NalC, the repressor's binding to PA3720-armR promoter-containing DNA as seen in electromobility shift assays (EMSAs) being obviated in th...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of MexL, the transcriptional repressor of the mexJK multidrug efflux operon in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The Pseudomonas aeruginosa mexJK efflux operon is constitutively expressed in mutants with defects in the upstream mexL gene, which encodes a repressor of the TetR family. MexL and a MexL(A47D) mutant protein were purified from Escherichia coli as fusion proteins with carboxy-terminal hexahistidine tags. Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and size exclusion chromatography revealed that M...
