The Staphylococcus lentus plasmid pSCFS2 carries a novel florfenicol-chloramphenicol resistance gene, designated fexA, encoding a protein of 475 amino acids with 14 transmembrane domains. The FexA protein differs from all previously known proteins involved in the efflux of chloramphenicol and florfenicol. Induction of fexA expression by chloramphenicol and florfenicol occurs via translational attenuation.
迟缓葡萄球菌质粒pSCFS2携带一个新的氟苯尼考-氯霉素抗性基因,命名为fexA,其编码一个含有14个跨膜结构域的475个氨基酸的蛋白质。FexA蛋白与所有先前已知的参与氯霉素和氟苯尼考外排的蛋白质不同。氯霉素和氟苯尼考通过翻译弱化诱导fexA表达。
