Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 1.94Å Ligands: , , , , Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function PORP_PSEAE Anion specific, the binding site has higher affinity for phosphate than chloride ions. Porin O has a higher affinity for polyphosphates (tripolyphosphate and pyrophosphate) while porin P has a higher affinity for orthophosphate.

Publication Abstract from PubMed The outer membrane protein OprP mediates the transport of essential phosphate anions into the pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Here we report the crystallographic structure of trimeric OprP at 1.9-A resolution, revealing an unprecedented 9-residue arginine 'ladder' that spans from the extracellular surface down through a constriction zone where phosphate is coordinated. Lysine residues coat the inner periplasmic surface, creating an 'electropositive sink' that pulls the phosphates through the eyelet and into the cell.
