Abstract excerpt
The biogenesis of outer membrane proteins requires the function of β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM), whose function is highly conserved while its composition is variable. The Escherichia coli BAM is composed of five subunits, while Thermus thermophilus seems to contain a single BAM protein, named TtOmp85. To search for the primitive form of a functional BAM, we investigated and compared the function of TtOmp85...
