Emerging Roles for NlpE as a Sensor for Lipoprotein Maturation and Transport to the Outer Membrane in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Escherichia coli</named-content>

ABSTRACT Outer membrane biogenesis is a complex process for Gram-negative bacteria as the components are synthesized in the cytoplasm or at the inner membrane and then transported to the outer membrane. Stress pathways monitor and respond to problems encountered in assembling the outer membrane. The...
