Introduction

BamB (PDB entry:3Q7M)is one of the lipoprotein found in the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex in outer membrane of Escherichia coli. 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).^[1] The outer membrane contains numerous β-barrel proteins commonly called outer membrane proteins (OMPs), which serve as in cargo transport and signaling and are also vital for membrane biogenesis. OMPs are synthesized in cytoplasm and transported to the periplasm by Sec translocon. With in the periplasm, chaperones (SurA, Skp, and DegP) guide 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 by interacting with the BamA components(POTRA regions). Thus BamB act as a scaffold to optimally orient POTRA regions for interaction with other BAM components, chaperones, and nascent OMPs.

Each blade is connected by interconnected loop (IL). BamB is strongly electronegative at the center at either side of the hole due to the presence of strong electronegative residues in these regions (E197, D246, D248, D288, D303, E370). Among the ILs, IL4 and IL5 are unordered and the interacting residues are found in these loops. How the overall structure looks like?
