'''MAIN PORIN FROM MYCOBACTERIA SMEGMATIS (MSPA)'''
===MAIN PORIN FROM MYCOBACTERIA SMEGMATIS (MSPA)===




==Overview==
<!--  
Mycobacteria have low-permeability outer membranes that render them resistant to most antibiotics. Hydrophilic nutrients can enter by way of transmembrane-channel proteins called porins. An x-ray analysis of the main porin from Mycobacterium smegmatis, MspA, revealed a homooctameric goblet-like conformation with a single central channel. This is the first structure of a mycobacterial outer-membrane protein. No structure-related protein was found in the Protein Data Bank. MspA contains two consecutive beta barrels with nonpolar outer surfaces that form a ribbon around the porin, which is too narrow to fit the thickness of the mycobacterial outer membrane in contemporary models.
The line below this paragraph, {{ABSTRACT_PUBMED_14976314}}, adds the Publication Abstract to the page
(as it appears on PubMed at http://www.pubmed.gov), where 14976314 is the PubMed ID number.
