Structural highlights
Function
[BAMA_ECOLI] Part of the outer membrane protein assembly complex, which is involved in assembly and insertion of beta-barrel proteins into the outer membrane. Constitutes, with BamD, the core component of the assembly machinery.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Membranes of Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts receive and fold beta-barrel transmembrane proteins through the action of polypeptide transport-associated (POTRA) domains. In Escherichia coli, folding substrates are inserted into the outer membrane by the essential protein YaeT, a prototypic Omp85 protein. Here, the articulation between tandem POTRA domains in solution is defined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, indicating an unprecedented juxtaposition. The novel solution orientations of all five POTRA domains are revealed by small-angle X-ray scattering of the entire 46 kDa periplasmic region. NMR titration studies show that strands from YaeT's canonical folding substrate, PhoE, bind non-specifically along alternating sides of its mixed beta sheets, thus providing an ideal platform for helping to fold nascent outer-membrane proteins. Together, this provides the first structural model of how multiple POTRA domains recruit substrates from the periplasmic solution into the outer membrane.
