摘要
TolC and its many homologues comprise an alpha -helical transperiplasmic tunnel embedded in the bacterial outer membrane by a contiguous beta -barrel channel, providing a large exit duct for diverse substrates. The 'channel-tunnel' is closed at its periplasmic entrance, but can be opened by an 'iris-like' mechanism when recruited by substrate-engaged proteins in the cytosolic membrane.
