Chlorinated phenols control the expression of the multidrug resistance efflux pump MexAB-OprM in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by interacting with NalC.

abstract：:A model for the topology of the PhoE porin has been proposed according to which the polypeptide traverses the outer membrane sixteen times mostly as amphipathic beta-sheets, thereby exposing eight loops at the cell surface. Until now, no evidence has been obtained for the surface exposure of the third loop. Recently, ...
