BamA and BamD constitute the core of the complex. BamA is proposed to recognize and help fold nascent OMPs with its five POTRA repeats (show as orange ovals). The N-terminal domain of BamD may assist in this folding role, or may recognize the consensus sequence at the C-terminus of OMPs. BamC and E interact with the C-terminal domain of BamD and help stabilize the complex. BamB interacts with BamA independently of BamC, D and E.
