The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is a specialized organelle conferring
protection to the cell against various environmental stresses and resistance to many harmful …

The type 5 secretion system (T5SS) is one of the more widespread secretion systems in
Gram-negative bacteria. Proteins secreted by the T5SS are functionally diverse (toxins …

The β-barrel assembly machine (BAM) integrates β-barrel proteins into the outer membrane
(OM) of Gram-negative bacteria. An essential BAM subunit (BamA) catalyzes integration by …

Salmonella survive and replicate in macrophages, which normally kill bacteria by exposing
them to a variety of harsh conditions and antimicrobial effectors, many of which target the …

Diderm bacteria employ β‐barrel outer membrane proteins (OMPs) as their first line of
communication with their environment. These OMPs are assembled efficiently in the …

In Gram-negative bacteria, the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex catalyses the
assembly of β-barrel proteins into the outer membrane, and is composed of five subunits …

The bacterial outer membrane forms an impermeable barrier to the environment, but a wide
variety of substances must cross it without compromising the membrane. Perhaps, the most …

Autotransporters are a large family of virulence factors found in Gram-negative bacteria that
play important roles in their pathogenesis. The passenger domain of autotransporters is …

Burkholderia cepacia complex is a group of closely related environmental bacteria that can
exacerbate disease in immunocompromised individuals. B. cepacia bacteria are equipped …

Abstract β-barrel membrane proteins populate the outer membrane of Gram-negative
bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts, playing significant roles in multiple key cellular …
