Functional promiscuity of small multidrug resistance transporters from Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Francisella tularensis

P. J. Spreacker, C. J. Porter, A. Wegrzynowicz…·K. A. Henzler-Wildman

The paper tests whether functional promiscuity of SMR transporters extends to homologs from three pathogens, finding they can confer resistance or susceptibility to different substrates in E. coli.

Activating alternative transport modes in a multidrug resistance efflux pump to confer chemical susceptibility

P. J. Spreacker, N. E. Thomas, W. F. Beeninga…·K. A. Henzler-Wildman

The paper shows that the E. coli SMR transporter EmrE can confer susceptibility to small-molecule substrates like harmane by triggering proton uniport, leading to antibiotic synergy.

Functional phenotyping of small multidrug resistance proteins from Staphylococcus aureus and Francisella tularensis reveals functional homology to EmrE

P. J. Spreacker, W. F. Beeninga, B. L. Young…·K. A. Henzler-Wildman

The paper functionally characterizes EmrE-like SMR transporters from Staphylococcus aureus and Francisella tularensis, showing they are functionally similar to EmrE and distinct from GdX-like SMRs.
