lptA Antibody, FITC conjugated

1. characterization of a viable quadruple lptA mutant impaired in the assembly of the Lpt machinery, although it retains the ability to bind LPS; although viable, the quadruple lptA mutant disrupts outer membrane (OM) asymmetry and severely impairs the OM permeability barrier; analysis of 2 independent suppressors revealed different strategies adopted by the cell to overcome defects in LPS biogenesis PMID: 29109183
2. LptA molecular structure is affected by lipopolysaccharides binding. PMID: 28419595
3. An induced folding process characterizes the partial-loss of function mutant LptAI36D in its interactions with lipopolysaccharide constituent ligands. PMID: 26123264
4. Studied the assembly and architecture of LptA oligomers. PMID: 23897621
5. results suggest that LptA operate in the LPS assembly pathway and, together with other as-yet-unidentified components, could be part of a complex devoted to the transport of LPS from the periplasmic surface of the IM to the OM. PMID: 18424520
6. LptA binds structurally diverse lipopolysaccharide (LPS) substrates in vitro and demonstrate that it interacts specifically with the lipid A domain of LPS PMID: 18480051
