2.A.117.1:  The (mainly) Proteobacterial Chlorhexidine Efflux (PCE) family
2.A.117.1.1









The Chlorhexidine drug-resistance exporter, AceI of 179 aas and 4 TMSs (Hassan et al. 2013) .  It is capable of exporting multiple drugs such as benzalkonium, dequalinium, proflavine, and acriflavine. (Hassan et al. 2015). The aceI gene is induced in A. baumannii by the short-chain diamines, cadaverine and putrescine. Membrane transport experiments conducted in whole cells of A. baumannii and Escherichia coli and also in proteoliposomes showed that AceI mediates the efflux of these short-chain diamines (polyamines) such as  when energized by an electrochemical gradient (Hassan et al. 2019), suggesting that they are the phsiological substrates of AceI. AceI can form dimers and is regulated at the transcriptional level by AceR (Bolla et al. 2020).

2.A.117.1.2









Chlorhexidine-responsive chlorhexadine exporter of 171 aas and 4 TMSs.

Bacteria
Pseudomonadota
AceI of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
2.A.117.1.3









Chlorhexidine-responsive putative chlorhxidine exporter of 160 aas and 4 TMSs, AceI (Hassan et al. 2013). It confers resistance to both proflavine and acriflavine by an active efflux mechanism (Hassan et al. 2015). AceR is an activator of aceI gene expression when challenged with chlorhexidine (Liu et al. 2018). This system also exports polyamines (organic diamines) such as cadaverine and putrescine (and possibly spermidine with low affinity).  It is induced preferentially by cadaverine and putrescine, and to a much lesser extent by spermidine. An AceI-E15Q mutant is inactive (Hassan et al. 2019).

Member of the Proteobacterial Antimicrobial Compound Efflux (PACE) family.  This protein is of 140 aas with 4 TMSs.  It has been shown to be an active drug exporter, conferring resistance to both proflavine and acriflavine, mediated by an active efflux mechanism (Hassan et al. 2018).
