Mutations in Multidrug Efflux Pumps of Eshcerichia coli

ABSTRACT: The number and overlapping substrate repertoire of multidrug efflux pumps in the E. coli genome suggest a physiological role apart from multidrug resistance. This role was investigated using transcriptomic analyses of cDNAs labeled from E. coli AG102 mRNA (hyper drug resistant, marR1) and its isogenic major efflux pump mutants. Keywords: Mutation Analysis

A genetic platform to investigate the functions of bacterial drug efflux pumps

Project description:Efflux pumps are a significant challenge for the development of new antibacterial agents. Overcoming efflux requires an in-depth understanding of efflux pump functions, substrate specificities, and the development of inhibitors. However, the complexities of drug efflux networks have limited such studies. To address these challenges, we report the generation of Efflux KnockOut-35 (EKO-35), a highly susceptible Escherichia coli strain lacking 35 efflux pumps. We demonstrate the utility of this strain by constructing an efflux platform consisting of strains individually expressing genes encoding efflux pumps forming tripartite complexes with the outer membrane channel TolC. This platform was profiled against a curated diverse compound collection, which enabled us to define physicochemical properties that contribute to transport. We also show the E. coli drug efflux network is conditionally essential for growth, and that the platform can be used to investigate efflux pump inhibitor specificities and also efflux pump interplay. We believe EKO-35 and the efflux platform will have widespread application for the study of drug efflux.

Conformational restriction shapes the inhibition of a multidrug efflux adaptor protein

Project description:Membrane efflux pumps play a major role in bacterial multidrug resistance. The tripartite multidrug efflux pump system from Escherichia coli, AcrAB-TolC, is a target for inhibition to lessen resistance development and restore antibiotic efficacy, with homologs in other ESKAPE pathogens. Here, we rationalize a mechanism of inhibition against the periplasmic adaptor protein, AcrA, using a combination of hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, cellular efflux assays, and molecular dynamics simulations. We define the structural dynamics of AcrA and find that an inhibitor can inflict long-range stabilisation across all four of its domains, whereas an interacting efflux substrate has minimal effect. Our results support a model where an inhibitor forms a molecular wedge within a cleft between the lipoyl and αβ domains of AcrA, diminishing its conformational transmission of drug-evoked signals from AcrB to TolC. This work provides molecular insights into multidrug adaptor protein function which could be valuable for developing antimicrobial therapeutics.

Pyrrole-based inhibitors of RND-type efflux pumps reverse antibiotic resistance and display antivirulence potential

Project description:Efflux pumps of the resistance-nodulation-division (RND) superfamily, particularly the AcrAB-TolC and MexAB-OprM, besides mediating intrinsic and acquired resistance, also intervene in bacterial pathogenicity. Inhibitors of such pumps could restore activities of antibiotics and curb bacterial virulence. Here, we identify pyrrole-based compounds that boost antibiotic activity in Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by inhibiting their archetype RND transporters. The discovered efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs) inhibit the efflux of fluorescent probes, attenuate persister formation, and diminish resistant mutant development. Molecular docking and biophysical studies revealed that the EPIs bind to AcrB. EPIs also possess an anti-pathogenic potential and attenuate P. aeruginosa virulence in vivo. The excellent efficacy of the EPI-antibiotic combination was evidenced in animal lung infection and sepsis protection models. These findings indicate that EPIs discovered herein with no off-target effects and negligible toxicity are potential antibiotic adjuvants to address life-threatening bacterial infections.

Physiology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells without major RND-type multidrug efflux pumps

Project description:Purpose: In this study, we analyzed how P. aeruginosa physiology is adapted to the lack of RND-mediated efflux activities. Methods: In this study, we use PΔ6 cells to analyze how P. aeruginosa changes its physiology in response to the lack of efflux pumps and increased permeability of the cell envelope. We compared the transcriptomes of the exponentially growing and stationary PΔ6 and its parent PAO1 cells and identified the cellular functions stressed by the lack of active efflux. High quality total RNA was further processed by removing 23S and 16S rRNAs using the Illumina Ribo-Zero Plus rRNA Depletion kit. Samples were analyzed in duplicate using Illumina MiSeq. Raw data for each sample was analyzed using CLC Genomics Workbench version 12.0.1 software (QIAGEN Aarhus, Denmark). Results: P. aeruginosa PΔ6 strain lacking six best characterized RND pumps activates a specific adaptation response that involves significant changes in expression of specific subset of genes encoding e.g. several transport systems, quorum sensing or iron acquisition. Conclusion: Our results suggest that all changes we observe serve to protect the cell envelope of efflux-deficient P. aeruginosa.

The impaired quorum sensing response of MexAB-OprM efflux pump overexpressing mutants is not due to non-physiological efflux of 3-oxo-C12-HSL

Project description:Multidrug (MDR) efflux pumps are ancient and conserved molecular machineries with relevant roles in different aspects of the bacterial physiology, besides antibiotic resistance. In the case of the environmental opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, it has been shown that overexpression of different efflux pumps is linked to the impairment of the quorum sensing (QS) response. Nevertheless, the causes of such impairment are different for each analyzed efflux pump. Herein, we performed an in-depth analysis of the QS-mediated response of a P. aeruginosa antibiotic resistant mutant that overexpresses MexAB-OprM. Although previous work claimed that this efflux pump extrudes the QS signal 3-oxo-C12-HSL, we show otherwise. Our results evidence that the observed attenuation in the QS response when overexpressing this pump is related to an impaired production of alkyl quinolone QS signals, likely prompted by the reduced availability of one of their precursors, the octanoate. Together with previous studies, this indicates that, although the consequences of overexpressing efflux pumps are similar (impaired QS response), the underlying mechanisms are different. This ‘apparent redundancy' of MDR efflux systems can be understood as a P. aeruginosa strategy to keep the robustness of the QS regulatory network and modulate its output in response to different signals.

Real-time visualization of drug resistance acquisition by horizontal gene transfer reveals a new role for AcrAB-TolC multidrug efflux pump

Project description:In our study, we obtained evidence showing that, in the presence of tetracycline, AcrAB-TolC multidrug efflux pump was required for production of protein encoded by a conjugative plasmid acquired by bacterial conjugation. We then address the role of AcrAB-TolC multidrug efflux pump on the level of protein synthesis activity in the presence of tetracycline, which inhibits protein translation by targeting ribosomal 16S rRNA and competing with binding of the anticodon-stem loop of an A-site tRNA. We used a quantitative TMT-nanoLC-mass spectrometry approach to obtained the protein relative abundance ratio before and after incubation with tetracycline, and so in wild-type(MG1655, K12) and AcrAB-TolC mutant strains (ΔacrA, ΔacrB and ΔtolC).

Bile-induced biofilm formation in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron requires magnesium efflux by an RND pump

Project description:The study is about the role of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron in the human gut microbiota, specifically its ability to form biofilms in response to bile salts. The study found that bile induces the expression of certain efflux pumps, and inhibiting these pumps impairs biofilm formation. Among the induced pumps, the BipABC pump is crucial for biofilm formation as it is involved in the efflux of magnesium, which affects the biofilm's extracellular matrix and structure. This discovery sheds light on how intestinal chemical cues, like bile salts, regulate biofilm formation in B. thetaiotaomicron, a significant gut symbiont.
