Stress-Responsive Periplasmic Chaperones in Bacteria
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 Periplasmic proteins are involved in a wide range of bacterial functions, including motility, biofilm formation, sensing environmental cues, and small-molecule transport. In addition, a wide range of outer membrane proteins and proteins that are secreted

The role of bacterial secretion systems in the virulence of Gram-negative airway pathogens associated with cystic fibrosis [PDF]
, 2016 Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal inherited disorder in Caucasians. It is caused by mutation of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene.

β-Barrel Assembly Machinery (BAM) Complex as Novel Antibacterial Drug Target
Molecules, 2023 The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is closely related to the pathogenicity and drug resistance of bacteria. Outer membrane proteins (OMPs) are a class of proteins with important biological functions on the outer membrane.

A proteomic investigation of Fusobacterium nucleatum alkaline-induced biofilms [PDF]
, 2012 Background: The Gram negative anaerobe Fusobacterium nucleatum has been implicated in the aetiology of periodontal diseases. Although frequently isolated from healthy dental plaque, its numbers and proportion increase in plaque associated with disease ...

Effect of Energy Metabolism on Protein Motility in the Bacterial Outer Membrane [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2009 We demonstrate the energy dependence of the motion of a porin, the lambda-receptor, in the outer membrane of living Escherichia coli by single molecule investigations. By poisoning the bacteria with arsenate and azide, the bacterial energy metabolism was stopped.

Dissecting Escherichia coli outer membrane biogenesis using differential proteomics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria is a complex multi-layered structure comprising an inner cytoplasmic membrane and an additional asymmetric lipid bilayer, the outer membrane, which functions as a selective permeability barrier and is essential

Biophysical characterization of the outer membrane polysaccharide export protein and the polysaccharide co-polymerase protein from Xanthomonas campestris [PDF]
, 2014 This study investigated the structural and biophysical characteristics of GumB and GumC, two Xanthomonas campestris membrane proteins that are involved in xanthan biosynthesis. Xanthan is an exopolysaccharide that is thought to be a virulence factor that
