The Enterobacter aerogenes eefABC locus, which encodes a tripartite efflux pump, was cloned by complementation of an Escherichia coli tolC mutant. E. aerogenes deltaacrA expressing EefABC became less susceptible to a wide range of antibiotics. Data from eef::lacZ fusions showed that eefABC was not transcribed in the various laboratory conditions tested. However, increased transcription from Peef was observed in an E. coli hns mutant. In addition, EefA was detected in E. aerogenes expressing a dominant negative E. coli hns allele.
产气肠杆菌的eefABC基因座编码一种三联外排泵,通过对大肠杆菌tolC突变体进行互补克隆得到该基因座。表达EefABC的产气肠杆菌ΔacrA对多种抗生素的敏感性降低。来自eef::lacZ融合的数据表明,在测试的各种实验室条件下,eefABC均未转录。然而,在大肠杆菌hns突变体中观察到来自Peef的转录增加。此外,在表达显性负性大肠杆菌hns等位基因的产气肠杆菌中检测到EefA。
