Gram-negative bacteria are surrounded by a protective outer membrane (OM) with
phospholipids in its inner leaflet and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in its outer leaflet. The OM is …

Secretory antibodies are the only component of our adaptive immune system capable of
attacking mucosal pathogens topologically outside of our bodies. All secretory antibody …

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 …

The Gram-negative bacterial envelope is the first line of defence against environmental
stress and antibiotics. Therefore, its biogenesis is of considerable fundamental interest, as …

The BAM is a macromolecular machine responsible for the folding and the insertion of
integral proteins into the outer membrane of diderm Gram-negative bacteria. In Escherichia …

Gram-negative bacteria have two lipid bilayers, the inner membrane and the outer
membrane as part of their cell envelope structure. 1 A special feature of the outer layer is its …
