Functional expression of mouse Mdr1 in an outer membrane permeability mutant of Escherichia coli.

Abstract excerpt

Functional expression of the multidrug resistance protein P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in Escherichia coli is providing an appropriate system for structure/function studies and might provide an invaluable tool to screen potential P-gp substrates and inhibitors. The major problem encountered in such studies, however, is the impermeability of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, which protects microorganisms...
