FunctionThe Bam (β-Barrel Assembly Machinery) drives the assembly of β-barrel proteins into the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria.[1] Structural highlightsThe complex is composed of five subunits: BamA, BamB, BamC, BamD and BamE. Outer membrane β-barrel proteins assembly is dependent on Bam in various organisms. BamB,C,D,E bind to the N-terminal of BamA.
