Drug Binding to BamA Targets Its Lateral Gate.

Abstract excerpt

BamA, the core component of the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex, is an outer-membrane protein (OMP) in Gram-negative bacteria. Its function is to insert and fold substrate OMPs into the outer membrane (OM). Evidence suggests that BamA follows the asymmetric hybrid-barrel model where the first and last strands of BamA separate, a process known as lateral gate opening, to allow nascent substrate OMP...
