The '''Translocator Domain''' for the Autotransporter NaIP within Neisseria meningitidis provides a novel protein pore that contains an alpha helix running axially through its hydrophilic center. Classically many outer membrane pores contain a <scene name='Translocator_Domain_of_the_Autotransporter_NalP_within_Neisseria_meningitidis/Naip_-_beta_sheet/1'>12-member beta barrel</scene>, which is able to allow for different conditions than the peptidoglycan layer, which would typically stop many types of proteins and ions from passing through. This <scene name='Translocator_Domain_of_the_Autotransporter_NalP_within_Neisseria_meningitidis/Alpha_helix/1'>alpha helix </scene> blocks the pore from being totally open and allows for more regulation of what enters and leaves the cell.<ref name="NaIP"> Oomen, Clasien J., Patrick Van Gelder, Peter Van Ulsen, Maya Feijen, Jan Tommassen, and Piet Gros.
