The AcrAB system of Escherichia coli is an intrinsic efflux protein with a broad substrate specificity. AcrA was thought to be localized in the periplasmic space, and to be linked to AcrB and TolC. The AcrAB-TolC system directly exports diverse substrates from the cell interior to the medium. In this study, we have determined the cellular localization of AcrA. By using the osmotic shock method, sucrose density gradient centrifugation, urea washing and Western blotting analysis, we reveal that AcrA is a peripheral inner membrane protein. A mutant plasmid encoding both the AcrA-TetBCt fusion protein and the AcrB-His fusion protein was constructed. Membrane vesicles prepared from cells expressing these fusion proteins were solubilized and AcrB-His was immunoprecipitated with an anti-polyhistidine antibody. After SDS-PAGE, Western blotting was performed with anti-TetBCt antiserum, resulting in the appearance of a 40 KDa band, indicating that AcrA co-precipitated with AcrB. Next we performed site-directed chemical labeling of Cys-introduced mutants of AcrA with [14C] N-ethylmaleimide. As judged from the labeling pattern and the molecular mass shift, the N-terminus of AcrA was removed and the mature protein is on the periplasmic surface. On the other hand, C25A mutants retained the N-terminal signal sequence on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. We conclude that AcrA exists as a complex with AcrB on the periplasmic surface of the inner membrane after removal of the signal sequence.
