Bacterial ß-Barrel Outer Membrane Proteins

2009
ß-barrel outer membrane proteins constitute the second and less well-studied class of transmembrane proteins. They are present exclusively in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and presumably in the outer membrane of mitochondria and chloroplasts.

Bacterial outer membrane evolution via sporulation?

Nature Chemical Biology, 2011
The distinction between different cell-envelope architectures has defined much of our thinking about bacterial systematics, but the evolution of different envelope layers has been harder to understand. A recent publication focused on the non-model organism Acetonema longum provides important clues to the possible origin of the second membrane typical ...

Porins and specific channels of bacterial outer membranes

Molecular Microbiology, 1992
SummaryPorins and specific channels both produce water‐filled pores that allow the transmembrane diffusion of small solutes, but the latter contain specific ligandbinding sites within the channels. Recent structural studies show that many or most of these proteins exist as βbarrels with the βstrands traversing the thickness of the outer membrane.

Bacterial bioreactors: Outer membrane vesicles for enzyme encapsulation

2019
Bacterial membrane vesicles, whether naturally occurring or engineered for enhanced functionality, have significant potential as tools for bioremediation, enzyme catalysis, and the development of therapeutics such as vaccines and adjuvants. In many instances, the vesicles themselves and the naturally occurring proteins are sufficient to lend ...

General and Specific Porins from Bacterial Outer Membranes

Journal of Structural Biology, 1998
Over the past years, the three-dimensional structures of several bacterial porins have been determined to high resolution. Apart from revealing an unusual type of architecture, the hollow beta-barrel, they have made it possible to investigate in detail various structure-function relationships.

Lipoproteins from the Bacterial Outer Membranes

1982
The envelope of gram-negative bacteria consists of two distinct membranes, the cytoplasmic membrane and the outer membrane. In contrast to the cytoplasmic membrane, the outer membrane contains a small number of major proteins, accounting for more than 90% of the total outer-membrane protein (see reviews by Inouye, 1979a; DiRienzo et al., 1978).

The bacterial outer membrane as a drug barrier

Trends in Microbiology, 1997
The outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria constitute a semi-permeable barrier, as indicated by the corresponding alterations in outer membrane permeability and in antibiotic susceptibility resulting from mutation or polycation action. Restricted outer membrane permeability works in synergy with co-determinant resistance mechanisms, such as the ...
