Folding of a bacterial outer membrane protein during passage through the periplasm.
The transport of bacterial outer membrane proteins to their destination might be either a one-step process via the contact zones between the inner and outer membrane or a two-step process, implicating a periplasmic intermediate that inserts into the membrane. Furthermore, folding might precede insertion or vice versa. To address these questions, we have made use of the known 3D-structure of the...
متن کاملDissecting the folding mechanism of the outer membrane protein PagP
Introduction The E.coli outer membrane (OM) is densely packed with outer membrane proteins (OMPs) that carry out a diverse range of functions that include (non)specific transport of small and large ligands, proteolytic and synthetic reactions and cellular recognition and adhesion. However, despite their importance, understanding the biogenesis of OMPs and their folding and insertion into membra...
متن کاملMembrane Defects Accelerate Outer Membrane β-Barrel Protein Folding
Outer membrane β-barrel proteins spontaneously fold into lipid bilayers with rates of folding that are strongly influenced by the physical properties of the membrane. We show that folding is accelerated when the bilayer is at the phase transition temperature, because of the coexistence of lipid phase domains and the high degree of defects present at domain boundaries. These results are consiste...
متن کاملThe transition state for folding of an outer membrane protein.
Inspired by the seminal work of Anfinsen, investigations of the folding of small water-soluble proteins have culminated in detailed insights into how these molecules attain and stabilize their native folds. In contrast, despite their overwhelming importance in biology, progress in understanding the folding and stability of membrane proteins remains relatively limited. Here we use mutational ana...
