Lateral opening in the intact β-barrel assembly machinery captured by cryo-EM
The β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM complex) is a key mediator of outer membrane protein biogenesis in Gram-negative bacteria. Here the authors report a cryo-EM structure of the intact BAM complex that suggests that lateral gate opening is a necessary part of the BAM functional cycle.
