Abstract excerpt
EbrAB in Bacillus subtilis belongs to a novel small multidrug resistance (SMR) family of multidrug efflux pumps. EmrE in Escherichia coli, a representative of SMR, functions as a homo-oligomer in the membrane. On the other hand, EbrAB requires a hetero-oligomeric configuration consisting of two polypeptides, EbrA and EbrB. Although both polypeptides have a high sequence similarity, expression of either single...
