Structural Basis for the Lipopolysaccharide Export Activity of the Bacterial Lipopolysaccharide Transport System

Gram-negative bacteria have a dense outer membrane (OM) coating of lipopolysaccharides, which is essential to their survival. This coating is assembled by the LPS (lipopolysaccharide) transport (Lpt) system, a coordinated seven-subunit protein complex that spans the cellular envelope. LPS transport...
