Abstract β-barrel proteins are folded and inserted into outer membranes by multi-subunit
protein complexes that are conserved across different types of outer membranes. In Gram …

Integral β-barrel membrane proteins are folded and inserted into the Gram-negative
bacterial outer membrane by the β-barrel assembly machine (BAM). This essential complex …

Acetic acid bacteria are used in many industrial processes such as the production of
vinegar, vitamin C, the antidiabetic drug miglitol, and various artificial flavorings. These …

Information on protein-protein interactions is crucial in understanding protein-mediated
cellular processes; however, analyzing transient and unstable interactions in living cells is …

The in vitro reconstruction assay enables us to evaluate in detail the insertion and proper
protein folding (together termed assembly) of β-barrel membrane proteins. Here, we …

OmpA-like proteins are involved in the stabilization of the outer membrane, resistance to
osmotic stress, and pathogenesis. In Caulobacter crescentus, OmpA2 forms a …

The β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex is responsible for inserting outer
membrane proteins (OMPs) into the Escherichia coli outer membrane. The SecYEG …

Bacterial membrane proteins account for around one-third of the proteome in many species
and can represent much more than half of the mass of the membranes. Classic techniques …
