Outer membrane protein NmpC of Escherichia coli: pore-forming properties in black lipid bilayers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purified NmpC outer membrane protein from Escherichia coli, when incorporated into planar lipid bilayers, gave rise to channels with a single-channel conductance of 1.8 nS in 1 M KCl. This suggests that the NmpC protein is a porin.

An aqueous channel for filamentous phage export.
Filamentous phage f1 exits its Escherichia coli host without killing the bacterial cell. It has been proposed that f1 is secreted through the outer membrane via a phage-encoded channel protein, pIV. A functional pIV mutant was isolated that allowed E. coli to grow on large maltodextrins and rendered E. coli sensitive to large hydrophilic antibiotics that normally do not penetrate the outer memb...
متن کاملReceptor for bacteriophage lambda of Escherichia coli forms larger pores in black lipid membranes than the matrix protein (porin).
The receptor for phage lambda in Escherichia coli was isolated by cholate extraction and purified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Protein bands corresponding to the monomer and the dimer were eluted from the gel and tested for their activity to inactivate phage lambda and to form pores in black lipid membranes. It was found that only the dimer inactivated phage lam...
متن کاملPore-forming ability of major outer membrane proteins from Wolinella recta ATCC 33238.
Three major outer membrane proteins with apparent molecular masses of 43, 45, and 51 kDa were purified from Wolinella recta ATCC 33238, and their pore-forming abilities were determined by the black lipid bilayer method. The non-heat-modifiable 45-kDa protein (Omp 45) showed no pore-forming activity even at high KCl concentrations. The single-channel conductances in 1 M KCl of the heat-modifiabl...
متن کاملFunctional refolding of the Campylobacter jejuni MOMP (major outer membrane protein) porin by GroEL from the same species.
Functional and structural studies of outer membrane proteins from Gram-negative bacteria are frequently carried out using refolded proteins. Recombinant proteins are produced in Escherichia coli as inclusion bodies and then tediously refolded by dilution in buffered detergent solutions. In the present work, we obtained the refolding of MOMP (major outer membrane protein) from Campylobacter assi...
متن کاملRefolded outer membrane protein A of Escherichia coli forms ion channels with two conductance states in planar lipid bilayers.
Outer membrane protein A (OmpA), a major structural protein of the outer membrane of Escherichia coli, consists of an N-terminal 8-stranded beta-barrel transmembrane domain and a C-terminal periplasmic domain. OmpA has served as an excellent model for studying the mechanism of insertion, folding, and assembly of constitutive integral membrane proteins in vivo and in vitro. The function of OmpA ...
