Description

The recombinant Escherichia coli (strain K12) bamA was expressed with the amino acid range of 175-424. The theoretical molecular weight of the bamA protein is 36.0 kDa. This bamA recombinant protein is manufactured in e.coli. Fusion of the N-terminal 10xHis tag and C-terminal Myc tag into the bamA encoding gene fragment was conducted, allowing for easier detection and purification of the bamA protein in subsequent stages.

Escherichia coli Outer membrane protein assembly factor BamA is a central component of the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex, crucial for the proper folding and insertion of outer membrane proteins (OMPs). Research on BamA primarily explores its role in outer membrane biogenesis, focusing on understanding its structure, mechanism, and interactions with substrates. Investigations aim to elucidate the intricate processes of protein folding and insertion, providing insights into bacterial outer membrane integrity and potential targets for antimicrobial drug development, crucial for combating bacterial infections and addressing antibiotic resistance.

Target Background

Function

Part of the outer membrane protein assembly complex (Bam), which is involved in assembly and insertion of beta-barrel proteins into the outer membrane. Constitutes, with BamD, the core component of the assembly machinery. Efficient substrate folding and insertion into the outer membrane requires all 5 subunits. A lateral gate may open between the first and last strands of the BamA beta-barrel that allows substrate to insert into the outer membrane; comparison of the structures of complete and nearly complete Bam complexes show there is considerable movement of all 5 proteins.; (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for CdiA-EC93, the contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) effector of E.coli strain EC93; antibodies against extracellular epitopes decrease CDI. Its role in CDI is independent of the other Bam complex components. Is not the receptor for CdiA from E.coli strain 536 / UPEC, which does not have the same mode of toxicity as CdiA from strain EC93; the decreased expression of bamA101 in some experiments decreases the level of outer membrane proteins in general. Susceptibility to CdiA-EC93 is dependent on E.coli BamA; replacing BamA with the gene from S.typhimurium LT2, E.cloacae ATCC 13047 or D.dadantii 3937 renders cells resistant to CdiA-EC93. Cells with BamA from another bacteria no longer form CdiA-EC93-induced aggregates with EC93 cells. A chimera in which E.cloacae extracellular loops 6 and 7 are replaced with loops 6 and 7 from E.coli is susceptible to CdiA-EC93 and to CdiA-CT from strain 536 / UPEC.

Free-energy calculations of lateral gate opening revealed a significantly lower barrier to opening in the C-terminal kinked conformation; mutagenesis experiments confirm the relevance of C-terminal kinking to BamA structure and function. PMID: 30087180
Studied how the Bam complex accelerates folding and insertion through the assembly of a slow-folding beta-barrel substrate, LptD. Results suggest a mechanism in which substrate recruitment by periplasmic BamD regulates extracellular loop interactions to activate BamA for folding and insertion. PMID: 29463713
we studied the assembly of an essential beta-barrel substrate for the Bam complex, BamA. By mutating conserved residues in the beta-barrel domain of this protein, we generated three assembly-defective BamA substrates that stall early in the folding process in the periplasm.
