Gram negative bacteria require the BAM complex for the insertion of membrane proteins into the outer membrane. This essential complex consists of five proteins, the large transmembrane barrel being BamA. BamA carries five POTRA domains at its N terminus which interact with other proteins in the complex. Only BamA and BamD are essential, but the roles of these proteins is unknown. We have solved the crystal structure of an outer membrane protein, Hbp, and studied the interaction between BamC and BamD. The Hbp beta-barrel is a substrate of BAM, but the interactions between the two are unclear. We have shown that BamC and BamD interact to give a flexible complex.
