MarR negatively regulates expression of the multiple antibiotic resistance operon (marRAB) in Escherichia coli. In this study, it was demonstrated that sodium salicylate, plumbagin, 2, 4-dinitrophenol, and menadione-inducers of the marRAB operon in whole cells-all interfered with the repressor activity of MarR in vitro. It is proposed that these compounds can interact directly with MarR to affect its repressor activity.
MarR对大肠杆菌中多重抗生素耐药操纵子(marRAB)的表达起负调控作用。在本研究中,已证明水杨酸钠、白花丹素、2,4-二硝基苯酚和甲萘醌(全细胞中marRAB操纵子的诱导剂)均在体外干扰MarR的阻遏活性。有人提出,这些化合物可直接与MarR相互作用以影响其阻遏活性。
