Structural and functional studies of bacterial outer membrane lipopolysaccharide insertion and Schmallenberg virus replication [PDF]

, 2015
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is an essential component of the outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria and plays a fundamental role in protecting the bacteria from harsh environments and toxic compounds.

Dual recognition of multiple signals in bacterial outer membrane proteins enhances assembly and maintains membrane integrity

eLife
Outer membrane proteins (OMPs) are essential components of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. In terms of protein targeting and assembly, the current dogma holds that a ‘β-signal’ imprinted in the final β-strand of the OMP engages the β-barrel

MOM19, an import receptor for mitochondrial precursor proteins [PDF]

, 1989
We have identified a 19 kd protein of the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM19). Monospecific IgG and Fab fragments directed against MOM19 inhibit import of precursor proteins destined for the various mitochondrial subcompartments, including porin ...

Structure of outer membrane protein G in lipid bilayers

Nature Communications, 2017
Porins, like OmpG, are embedded in the outer membrane of bacteria and facilitate uptake and secretion of nutrients and ions. Here the authors present a protocol for solid state NMR structure determination of proteins larger than 25 kDa and use it to ...

Secretin interactions in the type II secretion system [PDF]

, 2012
PhDThe type II secretion system (T2SS) is the major terminal branch of the general secretory pathway. It is composed of 12-15 proteins, most in multiple copies, and spans the inner and outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria.

Deletion of a Gene Encoding a Putative Peptidoglycan-Associated Lipoprotein Prevents Degradation of the Crystalline Region of Cellulose in Cytophaga hutchinsonii

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Cytophaga hutchinsonii is a gliding Gram-negative bacterium in the phylum Bacteroidetes with the capability to digest crystalline cellulose rapidly, but the mechanism is unclear.

Coassembly of Mgm1 isoforms requires cardiolipin and mediates mitochondrial inner membrane fusion [PDF]

, 2009
Two dynamin-related protein (DRP) families are essential for fusion of the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes, Fzo1 (yeast)/Mfn1/Mfn2 (mammals) and Mgm1 (yeast)/Opa1 (mammals), respectively.

Prediction of β-barrel membrane proteins by searching for restricted domains [PDF]

, 2005
BACKGROUND: The identification of beta-barrel membrane proteins out of a genomic/proteomic background is one of the rapidly developing fields in bioinformatics. Our main goal is the prediction of such proteins in genome/proteome wide analyses.
