== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/TOLC_ECOLI TOLC_ECOLI] Outer membrane channel, which is required for the function of several efflux systems such as AcrAB-TolC, AcrEF-TolC, EmrAB-TolC and MacAB-TolC. These systems are involved in export of antibiotics and other toxic compounds from the cell. TolC is also involved in import of colicin E1 into the cells.<ref>PMID:6337123</ref> <ref>PMID:11274125</ref> <ref>PMID:15228545</ref> <ref>PMID:18955484</ref> <ref>PMID:23176499</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
In bacterial drug resistance and virulence pumps, an inner membrane (IM) transporter and periplasmic adaptor recruit an outer membrane (OM) trimeric TolC exit duct that projects an alpha-helical tunnel across the periplasm. The TolC periplasmic entrance is closed by densely packed alpha-helical coiled coils, inner H7/H8, and outer H3/H4, constrained by a hydrogen bond network. On recruitment, these coiled coils must undergo transition to the open state. We present 2.9 A resolution crystal structures of two sequential TolC open states in which the network is incrementally disrupted and channel conductances defined in lipid bilayers. Superimposition of TolC(RS) (370 pS) and TolC(YFRS) (1,000 pS) on the TolC(WT) closed state (80 pS) showed that in the initial open-state TolC(RS), relaxation already causes approximately 14 degrees twisting and expansion of helix H7 at the periplasmic tip, increasing interprotomer distances from 12.2 A in TolC(WT) to 18.9 A. However, in the crystal structure, the weakened Asp(374) pore constriction was maintained at the closed state 11.3 A(2). In the advanced open-state TolC(YFRS), there was little further expansion at the tip, to interprotomer 21.3 A, but substantial movement of inner and outer coiled coils dilated the pore constriction. In particular, upon abolition of the TolC(YFRS) intraprotomer Tyr(362)-Asp(153) link, a redirection of Tyr(362) and "bulge" in H3 allowed a simple movement outward of H8, establishing a 50.3 A(2) opening. Root mean square deviations (rmsds) over the coiled coils of the three protomers of TolC(RS) and TolC(YFRS) illustrate that, whereas independent movement at the periplasmic tips may feature in the initial stages of opening, full dilation of the pore constriction is entirely symmetrical.
