| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The multidrug resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is mainly attributable to high expression of the tripartite efflux pumps that transport antibiotics from within to the external environment. The tripartite efflux pumps, each of which is composed of an inner membrane transporter, a periplasmic adaptor protein and an outer membrane factor, are membrane-protein super-complexes spanning both the inner and outer membranes. In this study, we determined the stoichiometry of the tripartite efflux pump by size exclusion chromatography and gel electrophoresis and the structure of it by negative stain electron microscope. The structures of two major outer membrane factors from multidrug-resistance Pseudomonas aeruginosa were determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis.
