Revolutionizing Outer Membrane Protein Formation in Bacteroidota

Originally Published 3 months ago — by Nature

The study reveals a novel structure of the BAM complex in Bacteroidota, featuring unique subunits that expand its function in assembling diverse outer membrane proteins, including large extracellular domains and surface lipoproteins, with implications for understanding bacterial membrane biogenesis and resistance mechanisms.

Unraveling the Mechanisms of Protein Assembly in Membranes.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Nature.com

Researchers have used electron microscopy and atomic models to gain insight into the process by which the BAM complex mediates the assembly of outer membrane β-barrel proteins in bacteria. The study provides a structural basis for understanding the mechanism of protein assembly and could aid in the development of new antibiotics that target this process.
