β-barrel membrane proteins perform important functions in the outer membranes (OMs) of
Gram-negative bacteria and of the mitochondria and chloroplasts of eukaryotes. The protein …

The folding of transmembrane proteins into the outer membrane presents formidable
challenges to Gram-negative bacteria. These proteins must migrate from the cytoplasm …

Linkages between the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and the peptidoglycan
layer are crucial for the maintenance of cellular integrity and enable survival in challenging …

Abstract β-barrel membrane proteins are essential for nutrient import, signalling, motility and
survival. In Gram-negative bacteria, the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex is …

In Gram-negative bacteria, the assembly of β-barrel outer-membrane proteins (OMPs)
requires the β-barrel–assembly machinery (BAM) complex. We determined the crystal …

The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is replete with a host of β-barrel outer
membrane proteins (OMPs). Despite serving a variety of essential functions, including …

INTRODUCTION The outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria, and
chloroplasts characteristically contain β-barrel membrane proteins. These proteins contain …

Autotransporters are a superfamily of proteins that use the type V secretion pathway for their
delivery to the surface of Gram-negative bacteria. At first glance, autotransporters look to …

Bacteria have mechanisms to export proteins for diverse purposes, including colonization of
hosts and pathogenesis. A small number of archetypal bacterial secretion machines have …

Outer membrane β-barrel proteins (OMPs) are crucial for numerous cellular processes in
prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Despite extensive studies on OMP biogenesis, it is unclear why …
