Expression and characterization of DrrA and DrrB proteins of Streptomyces peucetius in Escherichia coli: DrrA is an ATP binding protein.
نویسنده
چکیده
Streptomyces peucetius, a microorganism that produces the anticancer drugs doxorubicin and daunorubicin, is itself resistant to the action of these drugs. The genes conferring resistance to doxorubicin and daunorubicin in S. peucetius have been sequenced (P. G. Guilfoile and R. Hutchinson, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88:8553-8557, 1991). Two open reading frames, drrA and drrB, were proposed to encode for an ABC (ATP-binding cassette) type of permease that carries out export of the antibiotics in an ATP-dependent manner. This article reports subcloning of the drrA and drrB genes into Escherichia coli expression vectors and characterization of their gene products. Upon induction from the lac promoter, a 36-kDa DrrA protein could be identified on Coomassie blue-stained gels. The DrrB protein was identified by use of a polyclonal antiserum generated against a synthetic peptide corresponding to a portion of the DrrB protein. Together, the DrrA and DrrB proteins conferred resistance to doxorubicin in E. coli. The DrrB protein was localized to the cell membrane. The DrrA protein bound ATP or GTP in a Mg2+-dependent fashion. ATP binding was enhanced on addition of doxorubicin or daunorubicin.

Overexpression and functional characterization of an ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporter encoded by the genes drrA and drrB of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The genes encoding ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters occupy 2.5% of the genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, none of these putative ABC transporters has been characterized so far. We describe the development of expression systems for simultaneous expression of the ATP-binding protein DrrA and the membrane integral protein DrrB which together behave as a functional doxorubicin ef...
متن کاملMechanistic Studies Of Drug Resistance Conferred By An ABC Transporter DrrAB
Multi-drug resistance (MDR) has become a serious clinical problem for both cancer and infectious disease treatment. One of the leading causes of MDR is the drug efflux mediated by the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) super-family of proteins which are found among diverse groups of organisms. In our laboratory, we are interested in studying an ABC transporter DrrAB from Streptomyces peucetius. It conf...
متن کاملCharacterization of DrrAB Complex from Streptomyces Peucetius as A Multidrug Transporter
The soil bacterium Streptomyces peucetius produces two widely used anticancer antibiotics doxorubicin and daunorubicin. Present within the biosynthesis gene cluster in S. peucetius is the drrAB operon which codes for a dedicated ATP-binding cassette type transporter for the export of these two closely related antibiotics. DrrAB system was believed to be the single-drug transporter due to its de...
متن کاملCharacterization of the genes and proteins of a two-component system from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima.
As a step towards studying representative members of the two-component family of signal transduction proteins, we have cloned genes encoding a histidine protein kinase and a response regulator from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima. The genes have been designated HpkA and drrA, respectively. The deduced HpkA sequence contains all five characteristic histidine protein kinase mo...
متن کاملDual role of the metalloprotease FtsH in biogenesis of the DrrAB drug transporter.
This study provides the first direct evidence for the dual role of the metalloprotease FtsH in membrane protein biogenesis. Using the physiological substrate DrrAB, it is shown that FtsH is not only responsible for proteolysis of unassembled DrrB protein but also plays a much broader role in biogenesis of the DrrAB complex. Previous studies showed that the stable expression of DrrB in the membr...
