AcrAB-TolC multidrug efflux transport system activator from E. coli

The MarA protein acts as a transcriptional activator in E. coli, it allows the expression of the acrAB and tolC operons, which activate the AcrAB-TolC efflux pump, a mechanism that has been related with resistance to organic solvents, dyes, detergents, antibiotics such as chloramphenicol, tetracycline, novobiocin, erythromycin, fusidic acid and cloxacillin, as well as to cationic antimicrobial peptides, such as LL-37, HNP-2 and HBD-1.

We used device BBa_K1230004 to characterise this part.
