Description:
Structural basis of outer membrane protein insertion by the BAM complex Nature 531, 7592 (2016). doi:10.1038/nature17199 Authors: Yinghong Gu, Huanyu Li, Haohao Dong, Yi Zeng, Zhengyu Zhang, Neil G. Paterson, Phillip J. Stansfeld, Zhongshan Wang, Yizheng Zhang, Wenjian Wang & Changjiang Dong All Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts have outer membrane proteins (OMPs) that perform many fundamental biological processes. The OMPs in Gram-negative bacteria are inserted and folded into the outer membrane by the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM). The mechanism involved is poorly understood, owing to the
