Structures of Gate Loop Variants of the AcrB Drug Efflux Pump Bound by Erythromycin Substrate.
Gram-negative bacteria such as E. coli use tripartite efflux pumps such as AcrAB-TolC to expel antibiotics and noxious compounds. A key feature of the inner membrane transporter component, AcrB, is a short stretch of residues known as the gate/switch loop that divides the proximal and distal substra...
