This study was undertaken to characterize functions of the outer membrane protein OmpW, which potentially contributes to the development of colistin- and imipenem-resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii. Reconstitution of OmpW in artificial lipid bilayers showed that it forms small channels (23 pS in 1 m KCl) and markedly interacts with iron and colistin, but not with imipenem. In vivo, (55) Fe uptake assays comparing the behaviours of ΔompW mutant and wild-type strains confirmed a role for OmpW in A. baumannii iron homeostasis. However, the loss of OmpW expression did not have an impact on A. baumannii susceptibilities to colistin or imipenem.
本研究旨在表征外膜蛋白OmpW的功能,该蛋白可能与鲍曼不动杆菌对黏菌素和亚胺培南耐药性的产生有关。将OmpW重组到人工脂质双层中显示,它形成小通道(在1 M KCl中为23 pS),并与铁和黏菌素显著相互作用,但不与亚胺培南相互作用。在体内,通过比较ΔompW突变株和野生型菌株行为的(55)Fe摄取试验证实了OmpW在鲍曼不动杆菌铁稳态中的作用。然而,OmpW表达的缺失对鲍曼不动杆菌对黏菌素或亚胺培南的敏感性没有影响。
