An Asp or Asn substitution for Gly247 in transmembrane helix 8 (TM-8) of Tet(B), the tetracycline efflux protein, eliminated tetracycline resistance. Second site suppressor mutations which partially restored resistance were located in TM-5, -8, -10, or -11 or in cytoplasmic loop 8-9 or loop 10-11. These results indicate physical proximity or functional relationships between TM-8 and these other regions of Tet(B).
在四环素外排蛋白Tet(B)的跨膜螺旋8(TM-8)中,用天冬氨酸(Asp)或天冬酰胺(Asn)取代甘氨酸247消除了四环素抗性。部分恢复抗性的第二位点抑制突变位于TM-5、-8、-10或-11或胞质环8-9或环10-11中。这些结果表明TM-8与Tet(B)的这些其他区域之间存在物理接近性或功能关系。
