Force-generation by the trans-envelope Tol-Pal system

The Tol-Pal system spans the cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria, transducing the potential energy of the proton motive force (PMF) into dissociation of the TolB-Pal complex at the outer membrane (OM), freeing the lipoprotein Pal to bind the cell wall. The primary physiological role of Tol-Pal i...
