The Major Outer Membrane Protein ofChlamydia psittaciFunctions as a Porin-Like Ion Channel

1 Nov 1998

Abstract excerpt

The major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of Chlamydia species shares several biochemical properties with classical porin proteins. Secondary structure analysis by circular dichroism now reveals that MOMP purified from Chlamydia psittaci has a predominantly beta-sheet content (62%), which is also typical of bacterial porins. Can MOMP form functional ion channels? To directly test the "porin channel" hypothesis at...
