Aside from cop genes, a gene cluster consisting in cusA1, cusA2 and cusB that coded cation efflux system proteins and cusF that coded a copper binding periplasmic protein were present.
Science
The complete cation efflux system cusA (ESA_04242), cusB (ESA_04241), cusC (ESA_04239), cusF (ESA_04240) and its regulatory gene cusR (ESA_04238) was present in strains associated with neonatal infections (C. sakazakii ATCC 29544T, 701, 767, 696, C. turicensis and C. malonaticus), and absent in the other tested strains.
Science
Several reports have shown that indole acts as a signalling molecule in E. coli to: 1) prepare cells for a nutrient-poor environment and increase catabolism of amino acids, 2) up-regulate genes that encode drug exporters (e.g. acrDE, mdtAE, cusB) to increase bacterial tolerance to toxic compounds, 3) increase bacterial adherence to surfaces, and 4) delay cell division [ 81- 84].

This hexameric ring of adaptors is also observed in the co-crystal structure of an adaptor-transporter complex (CusB-CusA [41]) and the in vitro cryo-electron microscopy based model of an AcrAB-TolC complex formed by linked fusion proteins [47], suggesting the seal in these systems could also be provided by a ring of 6 adaptors, stabilised by interactions through the β-barrel and lipoyl domains.
Science
Atomic details of how this efflux protein binds Cu+ and Ag+ were revealed by the crystals of the CusB Cu(I) and CusB Ag(I) complexes.

Expert writing Tips
Best practice
If you intend to refer to "custom" or "customer", ensure correct spelling. If referring to a technical component, specify the full term like "USB connector" or "control unit" for clarity.
Common error
Avoid using undefined abbreviations like "cusb" in technical documentation. Always spell out the full term on first use, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses, to prevent ambiguity.
