One essential prokaryotic cell function is the transport of proteins from the cytoplasm into
other compartments of the cell, the environment, and/or other bacteria or eukaryotic cells—a …

The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli serves as a
protective barrier that controls the influx and efflux of solutes. This allows the bacteria to …

Conditions that impair protein folding in the Gram‐negative bacterial envelope cause stress.
The destabilizing effects of stress in this compartment are recognized and countered by a …

Integral β-barrel proteins (OMPs) are a major class of outer membrane proteins in Gram-
negative bacteria. In Escherichia coli, these proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm …

β-barrel membrane proteins perform important functions in the outer membranes (OMs) of
Gram-negative bacteria and of the mitochondria and chloroplasts of eukaryotes. The protein …

The outer membrane of most Gram-negative bacteria is made up of LPS, and in nearly all
bacteria that contain LPS it is essential for the life of the organism. The lipid portion of this …

β-barrel membrane proteins in Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts are
assembled by highly conserved multi-protein complexes. The mechanism by which these …

Integral β-barrel proteins are found in the outer membranes of mitochondria, chloroplasts,
and Gram-negative bacteria. The machine that assembles these proteins contains an …

Recent advances in the study of bacterial membranes have led to the identification of a
multicomponent YaeT complex in the outer membrane (OM) of Gram‐negative bacteria that …

All cells must traffic proteins across their membranes. This essential process is responsible
for the biogenesis of membranes and cell walls, motility and nutrient scavenging and uptake …
