Drug resistance is a major concern due to the evolution and emergence of pathogenic bacterial strains with novel strategies to resist the antibiotics in use. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is one of such pathogens with reported strains, which are not treatable with any of the available anti-TB drugs. This scenario has led to the need to look for some novel drug targets in Mtb, which may be exploited to design effective treatment strategies against the infection. The goal of this review is to…

Structural and Functional Diversity of Resistance-Nodulation-Cell Division Transporters.
TLDR
The cumulative data indicate that these RND membrane proteins are able to utilize different oligomerization states to achieve particular activities, including forming MDR pumps and cell wall remodeling machineries, to ensure bacterial survival.
Insights on Mycobacterium leprae Efflux Pumps and Their Implications in Drug Resistance and Virulence
TLDR
In silico analysis reveals that the major M. tuberculosis efflux pumps known to be associated with drug resistance and virulence have been retained during the reductive evolutionary process that M. leprae underwent, indicating that these systems are potentially required for its intracellular survival and lifestyle.
Coexpression of MmpS5 and MmpL5 Contributes to Both Efflux Transporter MmpL5 Trimerization and Drug Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
TLDR
Results suggest that the expression of MmpS5 facilitates the assembly of monomeric MmpL5 into a homotrimer that is anchored to the inner membrane to transport various antimycobacterial drugs.
Cryo-EM as a tool to study bacterial efflux systems and the membrane proteome
TLDR
Cryo-EM combined with other biophysical techniques has the potential to markedly advance the field of membrane protein structural biology, and the ability to discern complete transport machineries, enzymatic signal transduction pathways, and other membrane-associated complexes will help to fully understand the complexities of the membrane proteome.
Comparative transcriptomic analysis reveals the molecular mechanisms related to oxytetracycline- resistance in strains of Aeromonas hydrophila
Drug resistance In Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
TLDR
It is of paramount importance that stringent measures of primary and secondary prevention against cases of drug sensitive tuberculosis are implemented to prevent the rise of drug resistance.
Iron Acquisition in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
TLDR
This Review describes the multiple strategies utilized by Mtb to acquire ferric iron and heme iron and highlights how hijacking Mtb heme and iron acquisition pathways for drug import may facilitate drug transport through the notoriously impregnable Mtb cell wall.
Evolutionary dynamics of membrane transporters and channels: enhancing function through fusion.
Suppression of substrate inhibition in phenanthrene-degrading Mycobacterium by co-cultivation with a non-degrading Burkholderia strain.
TLDR
This study shows that addition of phenanthrene to rich liquid medium resulted in the transient growth arrest of EPa45 during its degradation of Phenanthrene, and suggests that various non-PAH-degrading bacterial strains play potentially important roles in the facilitation of PAH degradation by the co-residing mycobacteria.
Hopanoid lipids: from membranes to plant–bacteria interactions
TLDR
The study of hopanoids offers rich opportunities for discovery regarding how hopanoid production is regulated, howHopanoids act biophysically and biochemically, and how their production affects bacterial interactions with other organisms, such as plants.

The diverse family of MmpL transporters in mycobacteria: from regulation to antimicrobial developments
TLDR
The conservation of mmpL loci between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and non‐tuberculous mycobacteria are reported, useful in predicting the role of MmpLs with unknown functions, and the most recent advances regarding structural/functional information are provided to explain the molecular basis underlying the proton‐motive force driven lipid transport.
Contribution of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis MmpL Protein Family to Virulence and Drug Resistance
TLDR
The concept that MmpL-mediated lipid secretion both contributes to the innate ability of the pathogen to survive intracellularly and also contributes directly to the host-pathogen dialogue that determines the ultimate outcome of infection is supported.

INHIBITION OF MYCOLIC ACID TRANSPORT ACROSS THE MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS PLASMA MEMBRANE
TLDR

Molecular basis for inhibition of AcrB multidrug efflux pump by novel and powerful pyranopyridine derivatives
TLDR
The molecular basis for pyranopyridine-based inhibition of AcrB is described using a combination of cellular, X-ray crystallographic, and molecular dynamics simulations studies and provides a molecular platform for the development of novel combinational therapies using efflux pump inhibitors for combating multidrug resistant Gram-negative pathogens.
Mechanistic insight into mycobacterial MmpL protein function
TLDR
Structural modelling combined with experimental results showed Tyr842 to be a critical residue for mediating the proton motive force required for GPL export, which applies to all MmpL proteins and probably to all RND transporters.
