1. It has been demonstrated that an intact AcrAB-TolC efflux pump is crucial to the development of bacterial quinolone resistance. Its activity is complemented by expression of the alternative AcrEF efflux pump. PMID: 28520511

Finally, we discuss the efflux and the discrepancy between the structural and the functional experiments for Erythromycin in these gate loop mutants. PMID: 29126836
4. The T37W/A100W double mutant AcrB exports ethidium bromide (EtBr) more actively than wild-type AcrB. PMID: 29317622

7. Data show that CsrA binds directly to the 5' end of the transcript encoding AcrAB. PMID: 29040729
8. It has been found that both AcrA and AcrB lasted for approximately 6 days in live E. coli cells, and the stability of AcrB depended on the presence of AcrA but not on active antibiotic efflux. PMID: 27549795
9. Two phenylalanine residues located adjacent to the substitution sensitive glycine residues of acrB play a role in blocking the pathway upon rigidification of the loop, since the removal of the phenyl rings from the rigid loop restores drug transport activity PMID: 28987732
10. Our data show for the first time effects of various substrate-binding pocket mutations on the kinetics of efflux of two substrates by the AcrB pump. They also confirm interactions between substrates and drugs predicted by MD simulation studies, and also reveal areas that need future research. PMID: 27789287

12. AcrBA-TolC complex becomes unstable upon the induction of AcrD, which presumably replaces AcrB in the ternary complex. Such instability is suppressed upon the addition of AcrB-specific substrates. The assembly of resistance-nodulation-cell division-type efflux system is a regulated dynamic process that provides bacteria with a highly flexible repertoire of survival strategies to cope with a wide spectrum of antibiotics. PMID: 26916090
13. TolC-AcrB interaction only stable on the simulated time scale when both proteins engage in a tip to tip manner. PMID: 27045078
14. multiple deletion of acrB, acrD, and mdtABC resulted in a significant decrease in enterobactin export and that plasmids carrying the acrAB, acrD, or mdtABC genes restored the decrease in enterobactin export exhibited by the DeltaacrB acrD mdtABC mutant. PMID: 25259870

26. The structural characterization results suggest that the oligomerization of AcrB occurs through a three-stage pathway involving folded monomers. PMID: 21664361
27. fluoroquinolone resistance appeared to be a stepwise phenomenon, with MIC increasing as point mutations in gyrA increased, but high-level- and multidrug resistance associated with fluoroquinolone resistance reflected overexpression of AcrAB efflux pump PMID: 21194332
