Protein oligomerization in the bacterial outer membrane (Review)

Molecular Membrane Biology, 2009
The formation of homo-oligomeric assemblies is a well-established characteristic of many soluble proteins and enzymes. Oligomerization has been shown to increase protein stability, allow allosteric cooperativity, shape reaction compartments and provide multivalent interaction sites in soluble proteins. In comparison, our understanding of the prevalence

Protein import and export across the bacterial outer membrane

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2021
The bacterial outer membrane forms an impermeable barrier to the environment, but a wide variety of substances must cross it without compromising the membrane. Perhaps, the most fascinating transport phenomenon is the import and export of very large protein toxins using relatively small β-barrel proteins residing in the outer membrane.

Assembly of Bacterial Outer Membrane Proteins

2012
Various methods that are routinely used to study the subcellular localization of membrane proteins in wild-type Gram-negative bacteria fall short in genetic studies addressing the biogenesis of outer membrane proteins (OMPs). Here, we describe three biochemical methods that can be used in such studies to evaluate the proper assembly of OMPs into the ...

Modeling and simulation of bacterial outer membranes and interactions with membrane proteins

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2017
The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria is composed of phospholipids in the periplasmic leaflet and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in the external leaflet, along with β-barrel OM proteins (OMPs) and lipidated periplasmic lipoproteins. As a defensive barrier to toxic compounds, an LPS molecule has high antigenic diversity and unique combination of ...
