MCE domain proteins: conserved inner membrane lipid-binding proteins required for outer membrane homeostasis

Abstract Bacterial proteins with MCE domains were first described as being important for Mammalian Cell Entry. More recent evidence suggests they are components of lipid ABC transporters. In Escherichia coli, the single-domain protein MlaD is known to be part of an inner membrane transporter that is...
