Abstract excerpt
Resistance to the anticancer antibiotics, doxorubicin and daunorubicin, in the producer organism Streptomyces peucetius is conferred by an ABC transporter made of two proteins, DrrA and DrrB, which together form a dedicated exporter for these two antibiotics. Surprisingly, however, the DrrAB system exhibits broad substrate specificity overlapping with well-studied multidrug resistance transporters, including...
