Abstract

The Bacillus subtilis YvaE protein, the small multidrug resistance (SMR) family (TC #2.A. 7.1), is shown to catalyze efflux of multiple cationic drugs including many disinfectants, when it was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. When the yvaD gene was coexpressed with yvaE gene, the yvaD protein, encoded within a single operon with the yvaE gene, is shown to counteract the action ofYvaE. By ethidium efflux analysis, the cells harvoring a vector with yvaE gene showed a rapid ethidium efflux, compared with the control cells. These results clearly suggest that YvaE mediates drug export from the cell cytoplasm.

Small multidrug resistance(SMR) family(TC #2.A.7.1)에 속하는 막단백질 중 하나를 coding하는 Bacillus subtilis의 yvaE유전자의 발현을 유도한 결과, 발현된 YvaE단백질에 의해 대장균세포내에서 살균제를 포함한 다양한 양이온 약제에 대한 efflux활성을 촉매하는 것으로 확인되었다. 같은 operon내에 인접한 yaD유전자의 동시발현을 유도한 결과, 이러한 efflux활성은 억제가 되는 것으로 나타났다. Ethidium bromide를 기질로 하여 fluorimeter를 이용한 efflux transport실험결과, YvaE 단백질이 발현된 대장균세포의 경우 vector만을 함유한 대조세포에 비해 현저히 빠른 efflux활성을 보여주었다 따라서 YvaE 막단백질은 multidrug export를 촉매하는 SMR-type efflux pump임을 확인하였다.
