Recognition of outer membrane proteins using multiple feature fusion [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 Introduction: Outer membrane proteins are crucial in maintaining the structural stability and permeability of the outer membrane. Outer membrane proteins exhibit several functions such as antigenicity and strong immunogenicity, which have potential ...

Not All Bacterial Outer-Membrane Proteins Are β-Barrels [PDF]
microPublication BiologyThe discovery of Wza, an octomeric helical barrel integral bacterial outer-transmembrane protein, has challenged the widely held understanding that all integral outer-membrane proteins of Gram-negative bacteria are closed β-barrels composed of ...

A New Strain Collection for Improved Expression of Outer Membrane Proteins
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017 Almost all integral membrane proteins found in the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria belong to the transmembrane β-barrel family. These proteins are not only important for nutrient uptake and homeostasis, but are also involved in such processes ...

Protein Quality Control at the Mitochondrial Surface
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Mitochondria contain two membranes, the outer and inner membrane. The outer membrane fulfills crucial functions for the communication of mitochondria with the cellular environment like exchange of lipids via organelle contact sites, the transport of ...

A Msp1-containing complex removes orphaned proteins in the mitochondrial outer membrane of T. brucei
Life Science Alliance, 2023 Disruption of mitochondrial outer membrane protein biogenesis triggers a pathway leading to proteasomal degradation of orphan outer membrane proteins mediated by Msp1 and three interacting proteins.

Targeting and Insertion of Membrane Proteins in Mitochondria
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Mitochondrial membrane proteins play an essential role in all major mitochondrial functions. The respiratory complexes of the inner membrane are key for the generation of energy. The carrier proteins for the influx/efflux of essential metabolites to/from

Surface Antigens of the Syphilis Spirochete and Their Potential as Virulence Determinants
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1997 A unique physical feature of Treponema pallidum, the venereally transmitted agent of human syphilis, is that its outer membrane contains 100-fold less membrane-spanning protein than the outer membranes of typical gram-negative bacteria, a property that ...
