The Ton Motor

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The Ton complex is a molecular motor at the inner membrane of Gram-negative bacteria that uses a proton gradient to apply forces on outer membrane (OM) proteins to permit active transport of nutrients into the periplasmic space.

Mechanisms of Protein Export across the Bacterial Outer Membrane [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 2005
Gram-negative bacteria secrete a wide range of proteins whose functions include biogenesis of organelles, such as pili and flagella; nutrient acquisition; virulence; and efflux of drugs and other toxins. Export of these proteins to the bacterial surface involves transport across the inner membrane (IM), periplasm, and outer membrane (OM) of the cell ...
