Multidrug transporter EmrE

UniProtKB accession:  P23895

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Multidrug efflux protein that confers resistance to a wide range of toxic compounds, including ethidium, methyl viologen, acriflavine, tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP(+)), benzalkonium, propidium, dequalinium and the aminoglycoside antibiotics streptomycin and tobramycin (PubMed:10681497, PubMed:11574548, PubMed:15371426, PubMed:18024586, PubMed:18295794, PubMed:23042996, PubMed:24448799, PubMed:7896833, PubMed:9050242). Can also transport the osmoprotectants betaine and choline (PubMed:22942246). The drug efflux is coupled to an influx of protons (PubMed:15371426, PubMed:29114048, PubMed:7896833). Can couple antiport of a drug to either one or two protons, performing both electrogenic and electroneutral transport of a single substrate (PubMed:29114048). Simultaneously binds and cotransports proton and drug (PubMed:29114048, PubMed:30287687).
