外排泵基因过度表达促使细胞内的药物转移到细胞外,胞内药物浓度下降,致使药物临床疗效降低或无效。外排泵上有多个与识别底物结构无关的阴离子凹穴(底物结合位点),通过静电引力非特异性结合各种含阳离子的药物,在能量协助下将药物排到细胞外,进而导致细菌抗药性的产生。研究表明,结核杆菌基因组中存在外排泵基因,但仅分离到几个有功效的外排泵。本文就相关研究进展进行综述。  相似文献

Multidrug efflux pumps have emerged as relevant elements in the intrinsic and acquired antibiotic resistance of bacterial pathogens. In contrast with other antibiotic resistance genes that have been obtained by virulent bacteria through horizontal gene transfer, genes coding for multidrug efflux pumps are present in the chromosomes of all living organisms. In addition, these genes are highly conserved (all members of the same species contain the same efflux pumps) and their expression is tightly regulated. Together, these characteristics suggest that the main function of these systems is not resisting the antibiotics used in therapy and that they should have other roles relevant to the behavior of bacteria in their natural ecosystems. Among the potential roles, it has been demonstrated that efflux pumps are important for processes of detoxification of intracellular metabolites, bacterial virulence in both animal and plant hosts, cell homeostasis and intercellular signal trafficking.  相似文献

It is now well established that bacterial resistance to antibiotics has become a serious problem of public health that concerns almost all antibacterial agents and that manifests in all fields of their application. Among the three main mechanisms involved in bacterial resistance (target modification, antibiotic inactivation or default of its accumulation within the cell), efflux pumps, responsible for the extrusion of the antibiotic outside the cell, have recently received a particular attention. Actually, these systems, classified into five families, can confer resistance to a specific class of antibiotics or to a large number of drugs, thus conferring a multi-drug resistance (MDR) phenotype to bacteria. To face this issue, it is urgent to find new molecules active against resistant bacteria. Among the strategies employed, the search for inhibitors of resistance mechanisms seems to be attractive because such molecules could restore antibiotic activity. In the case of efflux systems, efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs) are expected to block the pumps and such EPIs, if active against MDR pumps, would be of great interest. This review will focus on the families of bacterial efflux systems conferring drug resistance, and on the EPIs that have been identified to restore antibiotic activity.  相似文献

Large-scale production of renewable biofuels through microbiological processes has drawn significant attention in recent years, mostly due to the increasing concerns on the petroleum fuel shortages and the environmental consequences of the over-utilization of petroleum-based fuels. In addition to native biofuel-producing microbes that have been employed for biofuel production for decades, recent advances in metabolic engineering and synthetic biology have made it possible to produce biofuels in several non-native biofuel-producing microorganisms. Compared to native producers, these non-native systems carry the advantages of fast growth, simple nutrient requirements, readiness for genetic modifications, and even the capability to assimilate CO2 and solar energy, making them competitive alternative systems to further decrease the biofuel production cost. However, the tolerance of these non-native microorganisms to toxic biofuels is naturally low, which has restricted the potentials of their application for high-efficiency biofuel production. To address the issues, researches have been recently conducted to explore the biofuel tolerance mechanisms and to construct robust high-tolerance strains for non-native biofuel-producing microorganisms. In this review, we critically summarize the recent progress in this area, focusing on three popular non-native biofuel-producing systems, i.e. Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus and photosynthetic cyanobacteria.  相似文献

Inhibitors of drug efflux pumps have great potential as pharmacological agents that restore the drug susceptibility of multidrug resistant bacterial pathogens. Most attention has been focused on the discovery of small molecules that inhibit the resistance nodulation division (RND) family drug efflux pumps in Gram-negative bacteria. The prototypical inhibitor of RND-family efflux pumps in Gram-negative bacteria is MC-207,110 (Phe-Arg-β-naphthylamide), a C-capped dipeptide. Here, we report that C-capped dipeptides inhibit two chloramphenicol-specific efflux pumps in Streptomyces coelicolor, a Gram-positive bacterium that is a relative of the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Diversity-oriented synthesis of a library of structurally related C-capped dipeptides via an Ugi four component reaction and screening of the resulting compounds resulted in the discovery of a compound that is threefold more potent as a suppressor of chloramphenicol resistance in S. coelicolor than MC-207,110. Since chloramphenicol resistance in S. coelicolor is mediated by major facilitator superfamily drug efflux pumps, our findings provide the first evidence that C-capped dipeptides can inhibit drug efflux pumps outside of the RND superfamily.  相似文献

Abstract During incubation of maize scutellum slices in fructose, there was an efflux of sucrose. Efflux was constant for at least 4 h at fructose concentrations of 70 or 100 mol m?3. Efflux was increased by EDTA, and decreased by Ca2+. Efflux was independent of pH after EDTA treatment, but increased from untreated slices when the pH was lowered from 7 to 4. Uranyl ion and PCMBS (p-chloro-mercuribenzenesulfonic acid) abolished sucrose uptake, but were only weak inhibitors of sucrose efflux. These results are consistent with efflux occurring by simple diffusion through aqueous pores, but they do not rule out facilitated diffusion. Rates of sucrose export from the scutellum to the root shoot axis were estimated from measurements of axis respiration and dry weight gain. Sucrose efflux from scutellum slices was only 14-22% of the export rate. Sucrose efflux from the whole scutellum was only 3-4% of the export rate. It is concluded that the observed efflux is from leaky cells and does not represent sucrose on the way to the phloem along a path that includes the apoplast. These results support the idea that the path for sucrose from parenchyma cell to sieve tube in the maize scutellum is entirely symplastic.  相似文献

Cells use feedback to implement a diverse range of regulatory functions. Building synthetic feedback control systems may yield insight into the roles that feedback can play in regulation since it can be introduced independently of native regulation, and alternative control architectures can be compared. We propose a model for microbial biofuel production where a synthetic control system is used to increase cell viability and biofuel yields. Although microbes can be engineered to produce biofuels, the fuels are often toxic to cell growth, creating a negative feedback loop that limits biofuel production. These toxic effects may be mitigated by expressing efflux pumps that export biofuel from the cell. We developed a model for cell growth and biofuel production and used it to compare several genetic control strategies for their ability to improve biofuel yields. We show that controlling efflux pump expression directly with a biofuel-responsive promoter is a straightforward way of improving biofuel production. In addition, a feed forward loop controller is shown to be versatile at dealing with uncertainty in biofuel production rates.  相似文献
