gene macQ, DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, sequence comparisons and phylogenetic and analysis and tree, recombinant expression of His-tagged enzyme in Escherichia coli strain Origami 2(DE3). Recombinant plasmid (pMQ28) confers 2 to 16fold higher MIC values toward all six beta-lactam antibiotics in Escherichia coli Origami 2(DE3) than the strain with a control vector. This indicates that MacQ confers multiple beta-lactam antibiotic resistance on a host strain by hydrolyzing beta-lactam antibiotics | Acidovorax sp. MR-S7 |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | MacQ is a bifunctional enzyme that confers both quorum quenching and antibiotic resistance on strain MRS7. Enzyme N-acylhomoserine lactone acylase (AHL acylase) is responsible for disrupting cell-cell communication (quorum sensing) in bacteria. AHL-mediated virulence factor production in a plant pathogen, Pectobacterium carotovorum, is dramatically attenuated by coculture with MacQ-overexpressing Escherichia coli Origami 2(DE3), whereas Escherichia coli with an empty vector is unable to quench the pathogenicity. MacQ acts as a quorum-quenching enzyme and disrupts the quorum-sensing system in the pathogen. Recombinant MacQ confers multiple beta-lactam antibiotic resistance on an Escherichia coli host strain by hydrolyzing beta-lactam antibiotics | Acidovorax sp. MR-S7 |
