Evolutionary pathways of repeat protein topology in bacterial outer membrane proteins [PDF]
eLife, 2018 Outer membrane proteins (OMPs) are the proteins in the surface of Gram-negative bacteria. These proteins have diverse functions but a single topology: the β-barrel.

Dual recognition of multiple signals in bacterial outer membrane proteins enhances assembly and maintains membrane integrity [PDF]
eLifeOuter membrane proteins (OMPs) are essential components of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. In terms of protein targeting and assembly, the current dogma holds that a ‘β-signal’ imprinted in the final β-strand of the OMP engages the β-barrel

Extraction and Electrophoretic Analysis of Bacterial Lipopolysaccharides and Outer Membrane Proteins
Bio-Protocol, 2021 Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) (or lipooligosaccharides [LOS], which lack the O-antigen side chains characteristic of LPS), and outer membrane proteins (OMP) are major cell-surface molecules in the outer membrane (OM) of gram-negative bacteria.

Bacterial outer membrane proteins assemble via asymmetric interactions with the BamA β-barrel [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 The integration of β-barrel proteins into the bacterial outer membrane (OM) is catalysed by the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM). Here authors develop a method to trap an E.

Entry and exit of bacterial outer membrane proteins. [PDF]
Trends Microbiol, 2015 The sites of new outer membrane protein (OMP) deposition and the fate of pre-existing OMPs are still enigmatic despite numerous concerted efforts. Rassam et al. identified mid-cell regions as the primary entry points for new OMP insertion in clusters, driving the pre-existing OMP clusters towards cell poles for long-term storage.
