Role of the central arginine R133 toward the ion selectivity of the phosphate specific channel OprP: effects of charge and solvation.

Abstract excerpt

The outer membrane porin OprP of Pseudomonas aeruginosa forms a highly specific phosphate selective channel. This channel is responsible for the high-affinity uptake of phosphate ions into the periplasmic space of the bacteria. A detailed investigation of the structure-function relationship of OprP is inevitable to decipher the anion and phosphate selectivity of this porin in particular and to broaden the present...
