Abstract excerpt
The Tol-Pal proteins of the cell envelope of Escherichia coli are required for maintaining outer membrane integrity. This system forms protein complexes in which TolA plays a central role by providing a bridge between the inner and outer membranes via its interaction with the Pal lipoprotein. The Tol proteins are parasitized by filamentous bacteriophages and group A colicins. The N-terminal domain of the Ff phage...
