Investigating members of the Omp85 protein superfamily in Klebsiella pneumoniae Von Vergal Ligutum Torres 10.26180/5bbff8e0455a2 https://bridges.monash.edu/articles/thesis/Investigating_members_of_the_Omp85_protein_superfamily_in_Klebsiella_pneumoniae/7188464 The outer membrane in Gram-negative bacteria plays a vital role in bacterial survival and infection. Outer membrane proteins in this layer, typically require catalytic help from members of the Omp85 protein superfamily for functional assembly into this membrane. In this study, the regulation and function of previously uncharacterised Omp85 protein members in the clinically relevant bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae were investigated. The results from this study highlight the diversity and potential functional roles of these proteins which may enable these bacteria to better adapt and survive a wider range of environments. 2019-03-13 23:35:45 outer membrane proteins klebsiella pneumoniae Gram-negative bacteria OMP biogenesis Omp85 outer membrane protein assembly BamA Microbiology Bacteriology Biochemistry Molecular Biology
