An arginine ladder in OprP mediates phosphate specific transfer across the outer membrane
|
Overview
The outer membrane protein OprP mediates the transport of essential, phosphate anions into the pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa., Here we report the crystallographic structure of trimeric OprP at 1.9-A, resolution, revealing an unprecedented 9-residue arginine 'ladder' that, spans from the extracellular surface down through a constriction zone, where phosphate is coordinated. Lysine residues coat the inner periplasmic, surface, creating an 'electropositive sink' that pulls the phosphates, through the eyelet and into the cell.
