Hoechst 33342 Is a Hidden “Janus” amongst Substrates for the Multidrug Efflux Pump LmrP
Multidrug transporters mediate the active extrusion of antibiotics and toxic ions from the cell. This reaction is thought to be based on a switch of the transporter between two conformational states, one in which the interior substrate binding cavity is available for substrate binding at the inside of the cell, and another in which the cavity is exposed to the outside of the cell to enable subs...
متن کاملLabeling nuclear DNA with hoechst 33342.
A number of fluorescent stains are available that label DNA and allow easy visualization of the nucleus in interphase cells and chromosomes in mitotic cells. One advantage of Hoechst 33342 is that it is membrane permeant and, thus, can stain live cells. Hoechst 33342 binds to adenine-thymine-rich regions of DNA in the minor groove. On binding to DNA, the fluorescence greatly increases. This pro...
متن کاملAcidic residues in the lactococcal multidrug efflux pump LmrP play critical roles in transport of lipophilic cationic compounds.
The proton motive force-driven efflux pump LmrP confers multidrug resistance on Lactococcus lactis cells by extruding a wide variety of lipophilic cationic compounds from the inner leaflet of the cytoplasmic membrane to the exterior of the cell. LmrP contains one cysteine (Cys(270)), which was replaced by alanine. This cysteine-less variant was used in a cysteine scanning accessibility approach...
متن کاملThe multidrug resistance transporter ABCG2 (breast cancer resistance protein 1) effluxes Hoechst 33342 and is overexpressed in hematopoietic stem cells.
The human ATP-binding cassette superfamily G (White) member 2 (ABCG2) gene and its murine homologue breast cancer resistance protein 1 (Bcrp1) are recently described ATP-binding cassette transporters associated with drug resistance in tumor cell lines, including the MCF-7 cell line, selected for its resistance to mitoxantrone (MCF-7/MitoR). Infection of MCF-7 cells with the retroviral vector co...
متن کاملadeabc efflux pump genes in multidrug resistant acinetobacter baumannii isolates
conclusions adeabc efflux system plays a vital role in multidrug resistance in clinical a. baumannii isolates. it was noted that the most important gene responsible for multidrug resistance within this system was the adeb gene especially in carbapenems resistance. methods this study was conducted on 84 multidrug resistant and 13 carbapenem-susceptible a. baumannii isolates obtained from burn an...
