Plasmid-Encoded Outer Membrane Protein YadA Mediates Specific Binding of Enteropathogenic Yersiniae to Various Types of Collagen [PDF]

, 1992
The plasmid-encoded outer membrane protein YadA of enteropathogenic yersiniae is associated with pathogenicity. Recently, collagen binding of YadA-positive yersiniae was reported without detailed characterization (L. Emödy, J. Heesemann, H. Wolf-Watz, M.

Single-channel measurements of an N-acetylneuraminic acid-inducible outer membrane channel in Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2012
NanC is an Escherichia coli outer membrane protein involved in sialic acid (Neu5Ac, i.e., N-acetylneuraminic acid) uptake. Expression of the NanC gene is induced and controlled by Neu5Ac. The transport mechanism of Neu5Ac is not known.

Allosteric signalling in the outer membrane translocation domain of PapC usher

eLife, 2014
PapC ushers are outer-membrane proteins enabling assembly and secretion of P pili in uropathogenic E. coli. Their translocation domain is a large β-barrel occluded by a plug domain, which is displaced to allow the translocation of pilus subunits across ...

Bacterial Outer Membranes and Interactions with Membrane Proteins [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2015
Because the bacteria's outer membrane (OM) acts as an effective barrier against the permeation of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic compounds, gram-negative cell permeation is one of the biggest challenges to the discovery of novel antibiotics for bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance worldwide.

Soluble versions of outer membrane cytochromes function as exporters for heterologously produced cargo proteins

Microbial Cell Factories, 2019
This study reveals that it is possible to secrete truncated versions of outer membrane cytochromes into the culture supernatant and that these proteins can provide a basis for the export of heterologously produced proteins.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa outer membrane proteins: Profile analysis and immunogenicity in relation to the antibiotic resistance

Journal of Veterinary Medical Research, 2005
To analyze the major outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of the sensitive or resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, the OMPs were separated from the cellular elements by sarcosyl extraction method.

Isolation and characterisation of the intermembrane space components of the mitochondrial TIM22 protein import machinery of Neurospora crassa [PDF]

, 2004
Mitochondria are essential cellular organelles of eukaryotic organisms, which import most of their proteinaceous constituents from the cytoplasm. Two mitochondrial membranes contain different translocation machineries which are involved in the import and
