This study assessed the functional importance of residues located at the i(-2) position of face 4 of the tandem repeat loops of the quinolone resistance protein QnrVC7 through mutagenesis studies. The i(-2) position of face 4 on different coils required residues with different natures. Some substitutions reduced the protective activity of QnrVC7, while some of them increased it. These findings advanced our understanding on the detailed structural organization and functional requirements of Qnr proteins.
本研究通过诱变研究评估了喹诺酮耐药蛋白QnrVC7串联重复环面4中位于i(-2)位置的残基的功能重要性。不同卷曲上的面4的i(-2)位置需要具有不同性质的残基。一些取代降低了QnrVC7的保护活性,而其中一些则提高了该活性。这些发现增进了我们对Qnr蛋白详细结构组织和功能要求的理解。
