Abstract excerpt
The aspartate 15 residue within the first predicted intramembrane helix of the tetracycline efflux protein Tet has been conserved in four tetracycline resistance determinants from gram-negative bacteria. Its replacement in class B Tet by tyrosine, histidine, or asparagine resulted in a 60 to 85% loss of tetracycline resistance and a similar loss of tetracycline-proton antiport. The tyrosine and histidine...
