Small multidrug resistance protein EmrE reduces host pH and osmotic tolerance to metabolic quaternary cation osmoprotectants.
The small multidrug resistance (SMR) transporter protein EmrE in Escherichia coli is known to confer resistance to toxic antiseptics classified as quaternary cation compounds (QCCs). Naturally derived QCCs synthesized during metabolic activities often act as osmoprotectants, such as betaine and choline, and participate in osmotic homoestasis. The goal of this study was to determine if EmrE prot...
متن کاملInfluence of quaternary cation compound on the size of the Escherichia coli small multidrug resistance protein, EmrE
EmrE is a member of the small multidrug resistance (SMR) protein family in Escherichia coli. It confers resistance to a wide variety of quaternary cation compounds (QCCs) as an efflux transporter driven by the transmembrane proton motive force. We have expressed hexahistidinyl (His6) - myc epitope tagged EmrE, extracted it from membrane preparations using the detergent n-dodecyl-β-D-maltopyrano...
متن کاملOuter membrane protein OmpW participates with small multidrug resistance protein member EmrE in quaternary cationic compound efflux.
In Escherichia coli, the small multidrug resistance (SMR) transporter protein EmrE confers host resistance to a broad range of toxic quaternary cation compounds (QCC) via proton motive force in the plasma membrane. Biologically produced QCC also act as EmrE osmoprotectant substrates within the cell and participate in host pH regulation and osmotic tolerance. Although E. coli EmrE is one of the ...
متن کاملStructural and functional comparison of hexahistidine tagged and untagged forms of small multidrug resistance protein, EmrE
EmrE is a member of the small multidrug resistance (SMR) protein family in Escherichia coli. EmrE confers resistance to a wide variety of quaternary cation compounds (QCCs) as an efflux transporter driven by proton motive force. The purification yield of most membrane proteins are challenging because of difficulties in over expressing, isolating and solubilizing them and the addition of an affi...
متن کاملMultimeric forms of the small multidrug resistance protein EmrE in anionic detergent.
Escherichia coli multidrug resistance protein E (EmrE) is a four transmembrane alpha-helix protein, and a member of the small multidrug resistance protein family that confers resistance to a broad range of quaternary cation compounds (QCC) via proton motive force. The multimeric states of EmrE protein during transport or ligand binding are variable and specific to the conditions of study. To ex...
