Popis: The integration of β-barrel proteins into the bacterial outer membrane (OM) is catalysed by the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM). Here authors develop a method to trap an E. coli β-barrel protein bound stably to BamA at a late stage of assembly in vivo which provides insights BamA mediated membrane integration.
