Abstract excerpt
TolC is a multifunctional outer membrane protein of Escherichia coli that folds into a novel alpha-beta-barrel conformation absent in the other model outer membrane proteins used in assembly studies. The data presented in this work show that the unique folded structure of TolC reflects a unique assembly pathway. During its assembly, the newly translocated nascent TolC monomers are released in the periplasm....
