Outer membrane efflux protein Identifiers Symbol OEP Pfam PF02321 InterPro IPR003423 SCOP 1ek9 TCDB 2.A.6 OPM family 34 OPM protein 1yc9 Available protein structures: Pfam structures PDB RCSB PDB; PDBe PDBsum structure summary Outer membrane efflux protein family form trimeric channels that allow export of a variety of substrates in Gram negative bacteria. Each member of this family is composed of two repeats. The trimeric channel is composed of a 12 stranded all beta sheet barrel that spans the outer membrane, and a long all helical barrel that spans the periplasm.
Examples include the Escherichia coli TolC outer membrane protein, which is required for proper expression of outer membrane protein genes; the Rhizobium nodulation protein; and the Pseudomonas FusA protein, which is involved in resistance to fusaric acid.
