The outer membrane factor CmeC of the efflux machinery CmeABC plays an important role in conferring antibiotic and bile resistance to Campylobacter jejuni. Curiously, the protein is N-glycosylated, with the glycans playing a key role in the effective function of this system. In this work we have employed atomistic equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of CmeC in a representative model of the C. jejuni outer membrane to characterise the dynamics of the protein and its associated glycans. We show that the glycans are more conformationally labile than had previously been thought. The extracellular loops of CmeC visit the open and closed states freely suggesting the absence of a gating mechanism on this side, while the narrow periplasmic entrance remains tightly closed, regulated via coordination to solvated cations. We identify several cation binding sites on the interior surface of the protein. Additionally, we used steered molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate translocation pathways for a bile acid and a macrolide antibiotic. These, and additional equilibrium simulations suggest that the anionic bile acid utilises multivalent cations to climb the ladder of acidic residues that line the interior surface of the protein. Campylobacter jejuni is a Gram-negative bacterium that is a major cause of gastroenteritis. Infection is also associated with the development of some auto-immune conditions. Therefore, it is of key biomedical importance. Bacterial efflux pumps extrude waste and harmful chemicals, including antibiotics from inside the cell to the extracellular environment, thus providing an impediment to antibacterial treatments. The major efflux system of C. jejuni is the cell envelope spanning CmeABC protein complex. The outer membrane factor CmeC plays an important role in conferring antibiotic and bile resistance to C. jejuni. We have used molecular dynamics simulations of CmeC to characterise the pathways via which a bile acid and an antibiotic move through this glycosylated protein. We identify several cation-binding sites within the lumen of the protein and show that the anionic bile acid utilises multivalent cations to climb the ladder of acidic residues that line the interior surface of the protein.
