In Escherichia coli bearing the plasmid R773, resistance to arsenite, arsenate, antimonite, and tellurite is conferred by the arsRDABC plasmid operon that codes for an ATP-dependent anion pump. The product of the arsC gene, arsenate reductase (ArsC), is required to efficiently catalyze the reduction of arsenate to arsenite prior to extrusion.
