Abstract excerpt
Membrane proteins that are integrated into the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria typically contain a unique "β barrel" structure that serves as a membrane spanning segment. A conserved "β signal" motif is located at the C terminus of the β barrel of many outer membrane proteins (OMPs), but the function of this sequence is unclear. We found that mutations in the β signal slightly delayed the assembly of...
