Characterization of the Vibrio cholerae vceCAB multiple-drug resistance efflux operon in Escherichia coli

J Bacteriol. 2005 Aug;187(15):5500-3. doi: 10.1128/JB.187.15.5500-5503.2005.

Abstract

Herein, we identify vceC as a component of a vceCAB operon, which codes for the Vibrio cholerae VceAB multiple-drug resistance (MDR) efflux pump, and vceR, which codes for a transcriptional autoregulatory protein that negatively regulates the expression of the vceCAB operon and is modulated by some of the substrates of this MDR efflux pump.
