Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that
infects patients with cystic fibrosis, burn wounds, immunodeficiency, chronic obstructive …

Recent studies applying advanced imaging techniques are changing the way we
understand bacterial cell surfaces, bringing new knowledge on everything from single-cell …

β-Barrel outer membrane proteins (OMPs) represent the major proteinaceous component of
the outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria. These proteins perform key roles in …

In eukaryotic cells, nonvesicular lipid transport between organelles is mediated by lipid-
transfer proteins. Recently, a new class of these lipid transporters has been described to …

The Omp85 protein superfamily is found in the outer membrane (OM) of all gram-negative
bacteria and eukaryotic organelles of bacterial origin. Members of the family catalyze both …

The bacterial cell envelope is the first line of defense and point of contact with the
environment and other organisms. Envelope biogenesis is therefore crucial for the survival …

The t ranslocation and a ssembly m odule (TAM) has been proposed to play a crucial role in
the assembly of a small subset of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) in Proteobacteria based …

Gram-negative bacteria build an asymmetric outer membrane (OM), with
lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and phospholipids (PLs) occupying the outer and inner leaflets …

The translocation of proteins across membranes is a fundamental cellular function. Bacteria
have evolved a striking array of pathways for delivering proteins into or across cytoplasmic …

The outer membrane (OM) of gram-negative bacteria serves as a vital organelle that is
densely populated with OM proteins (OMPs) and plays pivotal roles in cellular functions and …
