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 folding of transmembrane proteins into the outer membrane presents formidable
challenges to Gram-negative bacteria. These proteins must migrate from the cytoplasm …

In Gram-negative bacteria, the assembly of β-barrel outer-membrane proteins (OMPs)
requires the β-barrel–assembly machinery (BAM) complex. We determined the crystal …

INTRODUCTION The outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria, and
chloroplasts characteristically contain β-barrel membrane proteins. These proteins contain …

Communication of mitochondria with the rest of the cell requires β-barrel proteins of the
outer membrane. All β-barrel proteins are synthesized as precursors in the cytosol and …

Contact‐dependent growth inhibition (CDI) is a phenomenon by which bacterial cell growth
is regulated by direct cell‐to‐cell contact via the CdiA/CdiB two‐partner secretion system …

The exchange of metabolites between the mitochondrial matrix and the cytosol depends on
β-barrel channels in the outer membrane and α-helical carrier proteins in the inner …

The bacterial outer membrane (OM) is an exceptional biological structure with a unique
composition that contributes significantly to the resiliency of Gram-negative bacteria. Since …

The β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex is an essential component of Escherichia
coli that inserts and folds outer membrane proteins (OMPs). The natural antibiotic compound …

Membrane-embedded β-barrel proteins span the membrane via multiple amphipathic β-
strands arranged in a cylindrical shape. These proteins are found in the outer membranes of …
