Anti-ciprofloxacin complementation assay. (A) A serial dilution of cell culture spotted onto solid medium containing 100 µg/mL ampicillin and 5 ng/mL ciprofloxacin. Compared with the empty-vector (pET21a) and predicted protonation-site mutant D407N containing strain, the wild type AcrB constructed in pET21a showed apparent resistance against ciprofloxacin. Leaky expression of AcrB was confirmed using anti-His immunoblotting. (B) Mutational effects in the two signaling motif regions. (C) Mutational effects in the amphipathic helix α6-7. 12-GS is the variant that the entire α6-7 was replaced with 12 Gly-Ser repeats. (D) Mutational effects in the region of titratable key residues
