Abstract excerpt
Bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa expel antibiotics and other inhibitors via tripartite multidrug efflux pumps spanning the inner and outer membranes and the intervening periplasmic space. A key event in pump assembly is the recruitment of an outer membrane-anchored TolC exit duct by the adaptor protein of a cognate inner membrane translocase, establishing a contiguous transenvelope...
