“…The Cterminal domain of BamA forms a transmembrane 16-stranded β-barrel core, while the Nterminal region of BamA forms five soluble periplasmic polypeptide-transport-associated domains (POTRA) (Jansen et al, 2015b, Kim et al, 2007, Gatzeva-Topalova et al, 2010, Gatzeva-Topalova et al, 2008. These POTRA domains contribute to BamA stability and directly interact with BamBD within the periplasm, nascent polypeptides and the periplasmic chaperone SurA (Bennion et al, 2010, Kim et al, 2007, Workman et al, 2012, Dong et al, 2012a. The lipoproteins BamC and BamE interact directly with BamD (Kim et al, 2011a, Malinverni et al, 2006, Wu et al, 2005, Stenberg et al, 2005.…”
