The M13 Phage Assembly Machine Has a Membrane-Spanning Oligomeric Ring Structure
Bacteriophage M13 assembles its progeny particles in the inner membrane of the host. The major component of the assembly machine is G1p and together with G11p it generates an oligomeric structure with a pore-like inner cavity and an ATP hydrolysing ...

The porin and the permeating antibiotic: A selective diffusion barrier in gram-negative bacteria [PDF]
Gram-negative bacteria are responsible for a large proportion of antibiotic resistant bacterial diseases. These bacteria have a complex cell envelope that comprises an outer membrane and an inner membrane that delimit the periplasm.

Biogenesis of mitochondrial outer membrane proteins
Mitochondria are surrounded by two distinct membranes: the outer and the inner membrane. The mitochondrial outer membrane mediates numerous interactions between the mitochondrial metabolic and genetic systems and the rest of the eukaryotic cell. Proteins of this membrane are nuclear-encoded and synthesized as precursor proteins in the cytosol. They are

Major Outer Membrane Proteins: Common Antigens in Enterobacteriaceae Species [PDF]
The major outer membrane (OM) proteins of 23 enterobacterial strains (principally clinical isolates) and five non-Enterobacteriaceae species were investigated by the sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel immunoperoxidase (SGIP) technique to evaluate antigenic cross-reactivity among these proteins.

BamA β16C strand and periplasmic turns are critical for outer membrane protein insertion and assembly [PDF]
Outer membrane β-barrel proteins play important roles in importing nutrients, exporting wastes and conducting signals in Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts. The outer membrane proteins are inserted and assembled into the outer membrane

Membrane Defects Accelerate Outer Membrane β-Barrel Protein Folding [PDF]
Outer membrane β-barrel proteins spontaneously fold into lipid bilayers with rates of folding that are strongly influenced by the physical properties of the membrane. We show that folding is accelerated when the bilayer is at the phase transition temperature, because of the coexistence of lipid phase domains and the high degree of defects present at ...

Peptidoglycan maturation controls outer membrane protein assembly
AbstractLinkages between the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and the peptidoglycan layer are crucial for the maintenance of cellular integrity and enable survival in challenging environments1–5. The function of the outer membrane is dependent on outer membrane proteins (OMPs), which are inserted into the membrane by the β-barrel assembly ...

Targeting of the master receptor MOM19 to mitochondria [PDF]
The targeting of proteins to mitochondria involves the recognition of the precursor proteins by receptors on the mitochondrial surface followed by insertion of the precursors into the outer membrane at the general insertion site GIP.
