Structural and functional insights into the lipopolysaccharide ABC transporter LptB2FG
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are synthesized at the periplasmic side of the inner membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and are then extracted by the LptB2FG complex during the first step of LPS transport to the outer membrane. Here the authors present the LptB2FG structure, which supports an alternating...
