Mutations in the TolC Periplasmic Domain Affect Substrate Specificity of the AcrAB-TolC Pump

TolC and the other members of the outer membrane factor (OMF) family are outer membrane proteins forming trimeric channels that serve as a conduit for most actively effluxed substrates in Gram-negative bacteria by providing a key component in a multitude of tripartite efflux-pumps. Current models of...
