Abstract:
The homo-dimeric bacterial membrane protein EmrE effluxes polyaromatic cationic substrates in a proton-coupled manner to cause multidrug resistance. We recently determined the structure of substrate-bound EmrE in phospholipid bilayers by measuring hundreds of protein-ligand HN–F distances for a fluorinated substrate, 4-fluoro-tetraphenylphosphonium (F 4-TPP+), using solid-state NMR. This structure was solved at low pH where one of the two proton-binding Glu14 residues is …
