Fig. 6

a Liposome swelling in the presence of indicated substrate. Liposomes with embedded full-length VpOmpM1, VpOmpM1 barrel-only or EcOmpF were tested. Swelling rates were normalised to the rate of swelling of EcOmpF-containing liposomes in the presence of arabinose. Each condition was measured in technical triplicates (except EcOmpF with fructose, where n = 2) from the same proteoliposome preparation. Error bars show mean ± SD. b Bilayer electrophysiology conductance distribution plots obtained from recordings with multiple insertion events (see Supplementary Fig. 15 for representative traces). Full-length VpOmpM1 distribution is centred on 4.87 ± 1.86 nS (SD, n = 117); VpOmpM1 barrel-only distribution is centred on 4.66 ± 1.88 nS (SD, n = 269). c Representative bilayer electrophysiology recordings of full-length VpOmpM1 (top) showing multiple sub-conductance states and of the barrel-only construct (bottom) showing classical trimeric porin sequential channel closure at high voltage. d Current-voltage characteristics from single-channel recordings of full-length VpOmpM1 (n = 4), barrel-only VpOmpM1 (n = 4), and EcOmpF (n = 3). Individual data points are shown as open black circles and means as coloured dots. The error bars show the SD.
