“…MmpL3 with a fused T4 lysozyme is monomeric in the crystalline state. However, this contrasts with AcrB (Murakami et al, 2002), a classic RND superfamily member involved in bacterial multidrug resistance, and CmpL1 (a homolog from Corynebacterium glutamicum) (Belardinelli et al, 2016), both of which have been reported as trimers, while another RND family member, NPC1, is a monomer (Gong et al, 2016) and HpnN is a dimer (Kumar et al, 2017). To determine the quaternary structure of MmpL3 in the absence of T4 lysozyme, full-length MmpL3 was expressed and purified ( Figure S1D).…”
