Functional characterisation of altered outer membrane proteins for tetracycline resistance in Escherichia coli
چکیده انگلیسی

Alterations in the outer membrane (OM) proteome in response to tetracycline have been reported in Escherichia coli K-12, but information regarding their functional profile is not available. In this study, upregulation of FimD, Tsx, OmpW, OmpC and TolC and downregulation of LamB in response to tetracycline were detected and confirmed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis subproteomics and Western blotting, respectively. The ability of the six altered OM proteins was investigated using genetically modified strains with gene deletion or complementation. Of the six mutants tested, ΔtolC and ΔompC showed decreased minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and ΔlamB showed an increased MIC. These changes in the three mutants could be completely recovered by gene complementation. The survival capability of gene-deleted was significantly increased in ΔlamB mutants and significantly decreased in ΔtolC, ΔompC, ΔompW and Δtsx with respect to the control; a more significant decrease was observed in ΔtolC and ΔompC than ΔompW and Δtsx. These changes were also observed in their complemented strains. Our results indicate that LamB, OmpC and TolC are important OM proteins for tetracycline resistance in E. coli. Meanwhile, our data suggest that functional validation is required to investigate whether the altered proteins obtained from two-dimensional gel electrophoresis play a direct or indirect role in phenotypic changes.
