Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of the AcrAB–TolC multidrug efflux pump

TL;DR: The pseudo-atomic structure of a complete multidrug efflux pump in complex with a modulatory protein partner from E. coli is presented, which defines the quaternary organization of the pump, identifies key domain interactions, and suggests a cooperative process for channel assembly and opening.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multidrug efflux pumps: structure, function and regulation

TL;DR: Recent advances that have increased understanding of the structures and molecular mechanisms of multidrug efflux pumps in bacteria are described, suggesting opportunities for countering their activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

An allosteric transport mechanism for the AcrAB-TolC Multidrug Efflux Pump.

TL;DR: The near-atomic resolution cryoEM structures of the Escherichia coli AcrAB-TolC multidrug efflux pump in resting and drug transport states are reported, revealing a quaternary structural switch that allosterically couples and synchronizes initial ligand binding with channel opening.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure, mechanism and cooperation of bacterial multidrug transporters.

TL;DR: The current models for the transport mechanisms for the main classes of multi-drug transporters and their higher-order assemblies for Gram-negative bacteria are presented.
