摘要
The crystal structure of TolC from Escherichia coli was recently determined to 2.1-Angstrom resolution and shows a unique type of channel architecture: a 12-stranded beta -barrel spans the outer membrane and is attached to a long alpha -helical channel that penetrates far into the periplasm,The structure suggests a mechanism for its role in secretion of proteins and in efflux of toxic small molecules, The TolC export pathway is compared with several import pathways of Gram-negative bacteria where the outer membrane protein structures are also known.
