We found that cells of Vibrio parahaemolyticus possess
an energy-dependent efflux system for norfloxacin. We cloned a gene for
a putative norfloxacin efflux protein from the chromosomal DNA of
V. parahaemolyticus by using an Escherichia
coli mutant lacking the major multidrug efflux system AcrAB as
the host and sequenced the gene (norM). Cells of E. coli transformed with a plasmid carrying the norM
gene showed elevated energy-dependent efflux of norfloxacin. The
transformants showed elevated resistance not only to norfloxacin and
ciprofloxacin but also to the structurally unrelated compounds
ethidium, kanamycin, and streptomycin. These results suggest that this
is a multidrug efflux system. The hydropathy pattern of the deduced
amino acid sequence of NorM suggested the presence of 12 transmembrane domains. The deduced primary structure of NorM showed
57% identity and 88% similarity with that of a hypothetical E. coli membrane protein, YdhE. No reported drug efflux protein in
the sequence databases showed significant sequence similarity with
NorM. Thus, NorM seems to be a novel type of multidrug efflux protein.
We cloned the ydhE gene from E. coli. Cells of E. coli transformed with the cloned ydhE gene
showed elevated resistance to norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, acriflavine,
and tetraphenylphosphonium ion, but not to ethidium, when MICs were
measured. Thus, it seems that NorM and YdhE differ somehow in substrate
specificity.
