Structure–Function Profile of MmpL3, the Essential Mycolic Acid Transporter from Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Juan Manuel Belardinelli,Amira Yazidi,Liang Yang,Lucien Fabre,Lucien Fabre,Wei Li,Benoit Jacques,Shiva K. Angala,Isabelle Rouiller,Isabelle Rouiller,Helen I. Zgurskaya,Jurgen Sygusch,Mary Jackson +12 more
TL;DR: The combined genetic, biochemical, and biophysical studies indicate that MmpL3 and CmpL1 are structurally similar to Gram-negative resistance-nodulation and division efflux pumps and that multiresistance to these inhibitors is enabled by conformational changes in MMPL3.
Journal ArticleDOI
MmpL3 as a Target for the Treatment of Drug-Resistant Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Infections.
Wei Li,Amira Yazidi,Amitkumar N. Pandya,Pooja Hegde,Weiwei Tong,Vinicius Calado Nogueira de Moura,E. Jeffrey North,Jurgen Sygusch,Mary Jackson +8 more
TL;DR: A perspective reflects on the therapeutic potential of MmpL3 in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and NTM and the possible reasons underlying the outstanding promiscuity of this target, and analyzes the physiological and structural factors that may account for the apparent looser structure-activity relationship of some of these compound series against M. tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
A “Drug Sweeping” State of the TriABC Triclosan Efflux Pump from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Lucien Fabre,Abigail T. Ntreh,Amira Yazidi,Inga V. Leus,Jon W. Weeks,Sudipta Bhattacharyya,Sudipta Bhattacharyya,Jakob Ruickoldt,Isabelle Rouiller,Isabelle Rouiller,Helen I. Zgurskaya,Jurgen Sygusch +11 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that selective substrate translocation involves conformational gating at the tunnel narrowing that, together with conformational ordering of TriA and TriB, creates an engaged state capable of mediating substrate efflux.
