Edge-strand of BepA interacts with immature LptD on the β-barrel assembly machine to direct it to on- and off-pathways
The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria functions as a selective permeability barrier. Escherichia coli periplasmic Zn-metallopeptidase BepA contributes to the maintenance of OM integrity through its involvement in the biogenesis and degradation of LptD, a β-barrel protein component of the...
