Outer membrane proteins are vital for Gram-negative bacteria and organisms that inherited organelles from them. Proteins from the Omp85/BamA family conduct the insertion of membrane proteins into the outer membrane. We show that an eight-stranded outer membrane β-barrel protein, TtoA, is inserted and folded into liposomes by an Omp85 homologue. Furthermore, we recorded the channel conductance of this Omp85 protein in black lipid membranes, alone and in the presence of peptides comprising the seq ...[more]
