Second-site suppressor mutations for the serine 202 to phenylalanine substitution within the interdomain loop of the tetracycline efflux protein Tet(C).
نویسندگان
چکیده
The serine 202 to phenylalanine substitution within the cytoplasmic interdomain loop of Tet(C) greatly reduces tetracycline resistance and efflux activity (Saraceni-Richards, C. A., and Levy, S. B. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 6101-6106). Second-site suppressor mutations were identified following hydroxylamine and nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis. Three mutations, L11F in transmembrane 1 (TM1), A213T in the central interdomain loop, and A270V in cytoplasmic loop 8-9, restored a wild type level of resistance and an active efflux activity in Escherichia coli cells bearing the mutant tet(C) gene. The Tet S202F protein with the additional A270V mutation was expressed in amounts comparable with the original mutant, whereas L11F and A213T Tet(C) protein mutants were overexpressed. Introduction of each single mutation into the wild type tet(C) gene by site-directed mutagenesis did not alter tetracycline resistance or efflux activity. These secondary mutations may restore resistance by promoting a conformational change in the protein to accommodate the S202F mutation. The data demonstrate an interaction of the interdomain loop with other distant regions of the protein and support a role of the interdomain loop in mediating tetracycline resistance.

Second-site suppressor mutations of inactivating substitutions at gly247 of the tetracycline efflux protein, Tet(B).
An Asp or Asn substitution for Gly247 in transmembrane helix 8 (TM-8) of Tet(B), the tetracycline efflux protein, eliminated tetracycline resistance. Second site suppressor mutations which partially restored resistance were located in TM-5, -8, -10, or -11 or in cytoplasmic loop 8-9 or loop 10-11. These results indicate physical proximity or functional relationships between TM-8 and these other...
متن کاملSusceptibility of tetracyclines to Tet(a) resistance is independent of interdomain loop sequence.
Tigecycline, the latest member of the tetracycline family to enter clinics, is reported to be poorly recognized by the most prevalent Gram-negative tetracycline-specific efflux mechanisms, namely, the Tet(A) and Tet(B) efflux pumps (1). These structurally related tetracycline-specific efflux pumps are encoded by genes on plasmids and transposons in a wide variety of bacteria and are proton-driv...
متن کاملFunctional and Molecular Characterization of C91S Mutation in the Second Epidermal Growth Factor-like Domain of Factor VII
Background: Coagulation Factor VII is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease which has a pivotal role in the initiation of the coagulation cascade. The congenital Factor VII deficiency is a recessive hemorrhagic disorder that occurs due to mutations of F7 gene. In the present study C91S (p.C91S) substitution was detected in a patient with FVII deficiency. This mutation has not b...

Cysteine replacement of Asp190, Glu192 and Ser201 residues in the cytoplasmic interdomain loop of the TetA(B) tetracycline efflux antiporter from Tn10 reduces tetracycline resistance [Tamura, N., Konishi, S., Iwaki, S., Kimura-Someya, T., Nada, S. & Yamaguchi, A. (2001). J Biol Chem 276, 20330-20339]. It was found that these Cys substitutions altered the substrate specificity of TetA(B), increa...

The effects of mutations in host genes on tetracycline resistance mediated by the Tet(O) and Tet(M) ribosomal protection proteins, which originated in Campylobacter spp. and Streptococcus spp., respectively, were investigated by using mutants of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli. The miaA, miaB, and miaAB double mutants of S. typhimurium specify enzymes for tRNA modification at the ad...
