Membrane topology of the metal-tetracycline/H+ antiporter TetA(K) from Staphylococcus aureus.
A series of fusions to the reporter proteins alkaline phosphatase and beta-galactosidase have been constructed in the predicted periplasmic and cytoplasmic loops of TetA(K), a protein responsible for efflux-mediated tetracycline resistance in Staphylococcus aureus. The results support a topological model of 14 transmembrane segments for TetA(K).
متن کاملThe TetA(K) tetracycline/H(+) antiporter from Staphylococcus aureus: mutagenesis and functional analysis of motif C.
Conserved motif C, identified within members of the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) of transport proteins that mediate drug export, was examined in the tetracycline resistance efflux protein TetA(K) from Staphylococcus aureus; motif C is contained within transmembrane segment 5. Using site-directed mutagenesis, the importance of the conserved glycine (G151, G155, G159, and G160) and proline...
متن کاملThe Plasma Membrane of Staphylococcus Aureus
As electron microscopic techniques have improved, the fine structure of bacterial cells has come to be understood more clearly. There are, however, many details yet to be elucidated. I propose to report here some observations on the plasma membrane of Staphylococcus aureus, using sectioning techniques. Bradfield (1956) has already described some structural features of Staphylococcus aureus usin...
متن کاملSurvey of the Lethal Effect of Ciprofloxacin and Supernatant Isolated from Staphylococcus Aureus under the Stress of Ciprofloxacin on Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Strains Isolated from Clinical Specimens
Background and Aim: Staphylococcus aureus is gram-positive coccus that is one of the most important causes of nosocomial infections and cause cutaneous or subcutaneous infections. Among these bacteria Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are the most important. The aim of the present study was to investigate the lethal effect of a substance isolated from Staphylococcus aureus unde...
متن کاملMultidrug resistance proteins QacA and QacB from Staphylococcus aureus: membrane topology and identification of residues involved in substrate specificity.
The closely related multidrug efflux pumps QacA and QacB, from the bacterial pathogen Staphylococcus aureus, both confer resistance to various toxic organic cations but differ in that QacB mediates lower levels of resistance to divalent cations. Cloning and nucleotide sequencing of the qacB gene revealed that qacB differs from qacA by only seven nucleotide substitutions. Random hydroxylamine mu...
