Abstract

A novel valanimycin-resistance determinant () was isolated from a cosmid containing DNA that leads to valanimycin production in . Expression of the gene in both and provided valanimycin resistance. The nucleotide sequence of consists of 1206 bp and the deduced amino acid sequence encodes a polypeptide with 12 putative transmembrane-spanning segments and a calculated pI of 101. VlmF shows significant similarities to other known or putative transmembrane efflux proteins that confer antibiotic resistance, but it appears to be specific for valanimycin. The sequence similarities suggest that VlmF is a member of the DHA12 family within the major facilitator superfamily of transport proteins and that it is probably involved in active valanimycin efflux energized by a proton-dependent electrochemical gradient.
