AcrEF-TolC

Accession ARO:3000503
Synonym(s)EnvCD-TolC
DefinitionAcrEF-TolC is a tripartite multidrug efflux system similar to AcrAB-TolC and found in Gram-negative bacteria. AcrE is the membrane fusion protein, AcrF is the inner membrane transporter, and TolC is the outer membrane channel protein.
