Structure and dynamics of the drug-bound bacterial transporter EmrE in lipid bilayers

Alexander A. Shcherbakov et al.

Summary: EmrE, a dimeric transporter, confers multidrug resistance in bacteria by effluxing polyaromatic cationic drugs in a proton-coupled manner. Through solid-state NMR, the drug-bound structure of EmrE in phospholipid bilayers has been determined, providing insights into the molecular mechanism of substrate recognition. The structure reveals the asymmetric protonation of the protein and establishes the basis for designing substrate inhibitors to combat antibiotic resistance.

Asymmetric protonation of glutamate residues drives a preferred transport pathway in EmrE

Jianping Li et al.

Summary: EmrE is a multidrug efflux pump in Escherichia coli that transports drugs as a homodimer using energy from the proton motive force. Research suggests that the two Glu14 residues in the dimer have independent pKa values and are not electrostatically coupled, supporting a transport pathway with well-defined protonation states in each monomer of the dimer. The findings also propose a model, hop-free exchange, for how exchangers with conformation-dependent pKa values reduce proton leakage, relevant to the SMR family and transporters with inverted repeat domains.

Chelerythrine Chloride: A Potential Rumen Microbial Urease Inhibitor Screened by Targeting UreG

Xiaoyin Zhang et al.

Summary: This study screened natural compounds as potential urease inhibitors by targeting UreG in ruminal microbial urease using molecular docking and GTPase activity test. Chelerythrine chloride was identified as a potential urease inhibitor, showing mixed inhibition and affecting the secondary structure of UreG which resulted in inhibition of nickel binding and induced conformational changes in UreG. This provides new evidence for developing novel urease inhibitors targeting UreG to reduce nitrogen excretion from ruminants.
