Function

BAMB_ECOLI Part of the outer membrane protein assembly complex, which is involved in assembly and insertion of beta-barrel proteins into the outer membrane. Nonessential member of the complex, which may orient the flexible periplasmic domain of BamA for interaction with other Bam components, chaperones and nascent outer membrane proteins.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}
