Structure of Escherichia coli BamD and its functional implications in outer membrane protein assembly

BamD is part of the Escherichia coli outer membrane protein complex (BAM complex) and is essential for the survival of E. coli. The structure of BamD at 2.6 Å resolution shows that this lipoprotein is composed of ten α-helices that form five tetratricopeptide-repeat (TPR) motifs.

Structure of Escherichia coli BamB and its interaction with POTRA domains of BamA

The BAM complex is comprised of an integral β-barrel outer membrane protein BamA and four accessory lipoproteins BamB, BamC, BamD and BamE. Here, the crystal structure of BamB is reported.
