Predicting functionally informative mutations in Escherichia coli BamA using evolutionary covariance analysis.

Abstract excerpt

The essential outer membrane β-barrel protein BamA forms a complex with four lipoprotein partners BamBCDE that assembles β-barrel proteins into the outer membrane of Escherichia coli. Detailed genetic studies have shown that BamA cycles through multiple conformations during substrate assembly, suggesting that a complex network of residues may be involved in coordinating conformational changes and lipoprotein...
