Bypassing BamD essentiality by mutations in a non-essential substrate [PDF]
mBioThe β-barrel assembly machinery (Bam) is essential for assembling all transmembrane β-barrel outer membrane proteins in gram-negative bacteria. The Bam complex consists of the central β-barrel protein BamA and accessory Bam lipoproteins, including the ...

Targeting Proteus mirabilis BAM Complex Proteins for Development of Novel Antibiotics [PDF]
Research Ideas and Outcomes, 2023 Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are frequent hospital-acquired infection, with Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis accounting for 90% of complicated UTIs. Emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria have complicated the treatment UTIs. P. mirabilis related UTIs has been associated with the production of urinary stones and long-term infections in

Outer membrane protein assembly mediated by BAM-SurA complexes [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsAbstractThe outer membrane is a formidable barrier that protects Gram-negative bacteria against environmental threats. Its integrity requires the correct folding and insertion of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) by the membrane-embedded β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM).

Structure of a nascent membrane protein as it folds on the BAM complex. [PDF]
Nature, 2020 Mitochondria, chloroplasts and Gram-negative bacteria are encased in a double layer of membranes. The outer membrane contains proteins with a β-barrel structure1,2. β-Barrels are sheets of β-strands wrapped into a cylinder, in which the first strand is hydrogen-bonded to the final strand. Conserved multi-subunit molecular machines fold and insert these

Performance Analysis of a Novel Cross-flow Solar Air Heater with Square Perforated Absorber Plate: An Experimental Study [PDF]
Iranica Journal of Energy and Environment, 2023 The current study introduces and analyzes a novel square cross-flow perforated solar air heater (SAH). Since the convection mechanism in SAHs is weak, numerous methods have been suggested to address this problem and improve thermal efficiency ...

Bacterial Outer Membrane Proteins Are Targeted to the Bam Complex by Two Parallel Mechanisms. [PDF]
mBio, 2021 Proteins that are embedded in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria (OMPs) play an important role in protecting the cell from harmful chemicals. OMPs share a architecture and often contain a conserved sequence motif (β motif) of unknown function.
