Imp/OstA is required for cell envelope biogenesis in Escherichia coli.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Sept 2002

Braun Martin, Silhavy Thomas J

Abstract excerpt

In Gram-negative bacteria, all components of the outer membrane are synthesized in the cytoplasm or the cytoplasmic leaflet of the inner membrane and must thus traverse the inner membrane and the periplasm on the way to their final destination. In this study, we show Imp/OstA to have characteristics typical for proteins involved in envelope biogenesis. Imp is essential and forms a high-molecular-weight...
