Crystal structures of the Burkholderia multivorans hopanoid transporter HpnN

Abstract excerpt

Significance Bcc bacteria are intrinsically resistant to multiple antibiotics. They are major pathogens in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and can cause severe necrotizing pneumonia, which is often fatal. Hopanoid biosynthesis is one of the major mechanisms involved in multiple antimicrobial resistance of Bcc pathogens. The hpnN gene of B. multivorans encodes an integral membrane protein of the HpnN family of...
