Antibiotic Resistance Mediated by the MacB ABC Transporter Family: A Structural and Functional Perspective
The MacB ABC transporter forms a tripartite efflux pump with the MacA adaptor protein and TolC outer membrane exit duct to expel antibiotics and export virulence factors from Gram-negative bacteria. Here, we review recent structural and functional data on MacB and its homologs. MacB has a fold that...
