Introduction
BamB is the largest of four lipoproteins in the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex. The E. coli BAM complex consists of five subunits named BamA (88 kDa), BamB (40 kDa), BamC (34 kDa), BamD (26 kDa) and BamE (10 kDa). BamB interacts with the periplasmic domain of BamA, an integral outer membrane protein essential for outer membrane protein biogenesis. The outer membrane contains numerous β-barrel proteins commonly called outer membrane proteins (OMPs), which serve essential functions in cargo transport and signaling and are also vital for membrane biogenesis. OMPs are synthesized in cytoplasm and will be transported to the periplasm by Sec translocon. In the periplasm chaperons (SurA, Skp, and DegP) guide the the OMPs to the BAM complex. BAM complex function by folding and inserting the new OMPs into the outer membrane. Here BamB, while non-essential, plays an important role in the assembly of OMPs. BamB interact with BamA components (POTRA regions). By doing so BamB act as a scafold to optimally orient POTRA regions for interaction with other BAM components, chaperones, and nascent OMPs. What is the protein structure? Great Question! Here is a (partial) protein structure: . It you'd like the full-length structure, . Name, source, functional description of the family of proteins it represents. short description about biology of the system/s where this protein/s takes part.
