The outer membrane structure is common in Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria and
chloroplasts, and contains outer membrane β-barrel proteins (OMPs) that are essential …

The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria acts as an effective barrier to protect
against toxic compounds. By nature, the OM is asymmetric with the highly packed …

The growing emergence of multidrug resistance in bacterial pathogens is an immediate
threat to human health worldwide. Unfortunately, there has not been a matching increase in …

Correct folding of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) into the outer membrane of Gram-
negative bacteria depends on delivery of unfolded OMPs to the β-barrel assembly …

β‐barrel membrane proteins in the mitochondrial outer membrane are crucial for mediating
the metabolite exchange between the cytosol and the mitochondrial intermembrane space …

The folding of β-barrel outer membrane proteins (OMPs) in Gram-negative bacteria is
catalysed by the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM). How lateral opening in the β-barrel of …

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 …

Several phenomena occurring throughout the life of living things start and end with proteins.
Various proteins form one complex structure to control detailed reactions. In contrast, one …

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 …

Plastids are a dynamic class of organelle in plant cells that arose from an ancient
cyanobacterial endosymbiont. Over the course of evolution, most genes encoding plastid …
