VmrA, a Member of a Novel Class of Na⁺-Coupled Multidrug Efflux Pumps from Vibrio parahaemolyticus

Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University, Tsushima, Okayama 700-8530, Japan

Received 26 July 2001/ Accepted 18 October 2001

Gene vmrA, cloned from Vibrio parahaemolyticus, made Escherichia coli resistant to 4prime;,6-diamino-2-phenylindol, tetraphenylphosphonium chloride, acriflavine, and ethidium bromide. VmrA belongs to the DinF branch of MATE family efflux transporters. VmrA catalyzed acriflavine efflux and showed Na⁺/drug transporter activity because the addition of tetraphenylphosphonium to Na⁺-loaded cells caused Na⁺ efflux.
