The <i>Escherichia coli</i> Outer Membrane β-Barrel Assembly Machinery (BAM) Crosstalks with the Divisome
The BAM is a macromolecular machine responsible for the folding and the insertion of integral proteins into the outer membrane of diderm Gram-negative bacteria. In <i>Escherichia coli</i>, it consists of a transmembrane β-barrel subunit, BamA, and four outer membrane lipoproteins (BamB-E...

The BAM is a macromolecular machine responsible for the folding and the insertion of integral proteins into the outer membrane of diderm Gram-negative bacteria.

Using BAM-specific antibodies, in <i>E. coli</i> cells, the complex is shown to localize in the lateral wall in foci. The machinery was shown to be enriched at midcell with specific cell cycle timing. The inhibition of septation by aztreonam did not alter the BAM midcell localization substantially.
