A study examining the influence of TolC on AcrA, AcrR, and MarR1 mutants
indicates that functional TolC is required for the operation of the AcrAB
efflux system and for the expression of the Mar phenotype. That the effect
of TolC on the AcrAB pump is not regulatory in nature is shown by studies
measuring the influence of a tolC::Tn10 insertion mutation on the
expression of an acrA::lacZ reporter fusion. These results are compatible
with the hypothesis that TolC is a component of the AcrAB efflux complex.
