This table only lists E. coli OMPs that have been shown to require the BAM complex for correct assembly. Although not listed here, it should be noted that OMPs from other species of Gram-negative bacteria such as PilQ and PorA from N. meningitidis have been used in the functional studies of the BAM complex.4
Gel filtration analysis of OmpT suggests possible pentamer formation.47
Based on currently available structures, most autotransporters are predicted to have 12-stranded β-barrels.
These proteins have been classified as monomeric proteins.48
