Pushing the Envelope: The Mysterious Journey Through the Bacterial Secretory Machinery, and Beyond
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Gram-negative bacteria are contained by an envelope composed of inner and outer-membranes with the peptidoglycan (PG) layer between them. Protein translocation across the inner membrane for secretion, or insertion into the inner membrane is primarily ...

Incorporation of Heterologous Outer Membrane and Periplasmic Proteins into Escherichia coli Outer Membrane Vesicles [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004 Gram-negative bacteria shed outer membrane vesicles composed of outer membrane and periplasmic components. Since vesicles from pathogenic bacteria contain virulence factors and have been shown to interact with eukaryotic cells, it has been proposed that vesicles behave as delivery vehicles.

Specific association of lectin LecB with the surface of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: role of outer membrane protein OprF. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The fucose binding lectin LecB affects biofilm formation and is involved in pathogenicity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. LecB resides in the outer membrane and can be released specifically by treatment of an outer membrane fraction with fucose suggesting ...

Outer Membrane Protein YadA of Enteropathogenic Yersiniae Mediates Specific Binding to Cellular but Not Plasma Fibronectin [PDF]
, 1993 The binding of bacteria or bacterial products to host proteins of tissue extracellular matrix may be a mechanism of tissue adherence. We investigated interactions of the plasmid-encoded outer membrane protein YadA, which confers pathogenic functions on ...

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

Import pathways of precursor proteins into mitochondria [PDF]
, 1988 The precursor of porin, a mitochondrial outer membrane protein, competes for the import of precursors destined for the three other mitochondrial compartments, including the Fe/S protein of the bc1- complex (intermembrane space), the ADP/ATP carrier ...

Protein import into chloroplasts: new aspects of a well-known topic [PDF]
, 2007 Protein import into plant chloroplasts is a fascinating topic that is being investigated by many research groups. Since the majority of chloroplast proteins are synthesised as precursor proteins in the cytosol, they have to be posttranslationally ...

The Borrelia afzelii outer membrane protein BAPKO_0422 binds human Factor-H and is predicted to form a membrane-spanning beta-barrel [PDF]
, 2015 The deep evolutionary history of the Spirochetes places their branch point early in the evolution of the diderms, before the divergence of the present day Proteobacteria.

Identification and Structural Characterisation of Novel Outer Membrane Proteins in the genus Borrelia [PDF]
Although considered Gram-negative the outer membrane (OM) of Borrelia is unique, consisting of a variety of glycolipids, a significant number of surface exposed lipoproteins and a smaller number of integral membrane-spanning β-barrels.
