2.A.6.2.12
Heteromeric multidrug/detergent resistance protein YegM/YegN/YegO (MdtA/MdtB/MdtC) (Nishino and Yamaguchi 2001). Exports nalidixic acid, norfloxacin, cloxicillin, enoxacin, kanamycin, benzalkonium, bile salts, SDS and deoxycholate. It forms a complex with MdtA (YegM) (an MFP, TC# 8.A.1.6.2). Drug resistance depends on the simultaneous presence of all three proteins (Baranova and Nikaido, 2002). (Also contributes to copper and zinc resistance; regulation is mediated by BaeSR, and indole, Cu2+ and Zn2+ induce (Nishino et al., 2007)). MdtB:C stoichiometry = 2:1; MdtB and MdtC may play different roles (Kim et al., 2010), MdtB transporting the proton and MdtC transporting the drug (Kim and Nikaido 2012).  MdtBC is reported to export bile salts without MdtA (Nagakubo et al. 2002), but this conclusion seems questionable.
