TP0326, a Treponema pallidum β‐barrel assembly machinery A (BamA) orthologue and rare outer membrane protein
14 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
Definitive identification of Treponema pallidum rare outer membrane proteins (OMPs) has long eluded researchers. TP0326, the sole protein in T. pallidum with sequence homology to a Gram-negative OMP, belongs to the BamA family of proteins essential for OM biogenesis. Structural modelling predicted that five polypeptide transport-associated (POTRA) domains comprise the N-terminus of TP0326, while the C-terminus...
