A comprehensive analysis of the Omp85/TpsB protein superfamily structural diversity, taxonomic occurrence and evolution.

Members of the Omp85/TpsB protein superfamily are ubiquitously distributed in Gram-negative bacteria, and function in protein translocation (e.g. FhaC) or the assembly of outer membrane proteins (e.g. BamA). Several recent findings are suggestive of a further level of variation in the superfamily, i...
