Using multiple cryo-EM structures, we revealed how the periplasmic chaperone SurA dynamically changes its conformation to deliver substrates to the BAM complex.

細菌に必須の膜タンパク質 MurJ と、それを阻害するファージペプチドとの構造解析・第２弾！
ファージ由来の SglPP7 と LysM は、同じ Lipid II フリッパーゼ MurJ を標的にするが、結合様式は異なる。収斂進化のようだ。

The complex between a bacteriophage peptide and the essential membrane protein MurJ — Part II
Both SglPP7 and LysM inhibit MurJ, but through distinct binding modes — a striking case of convergent evolution.

Our MurJ/LysM paper has been published in Science Advances.
Kohga et al., Sci. Adv. (2025).
This study elucidates, through cryo-electron microscopy, the mechanism by which the small bacteriophage-derived protein LysM inhibits the lipid II flippase MurJ.

Small protein, big impact: Insights into how bacteria stabilize a key outer membrane complex

We revealed, through cryo-EM and functional analyses, that the small lipoprotein LptM stabilizes LptD at a late stage of LptDE complex maturation in the outer membrane.

We reveal the structure of the MurJ/LysM (JM) complex.
A small phage protein, LysM (37 residues), binds to MurJ like a wedge and freezes its motion.

We captured the process of a substrate protein through a membrane using HS-AFM.
A string-like protein (peptide) is being translocated by a single SecYEG-SecA.
