Structural basis of lipopolysaccharide translocon assembly mediated by the small lipoprotein LptM

Ryoji Miyazaki, Mai Kimoto, Hidetaka Kohga, Tomoya Tsukazaki

This study identifies LptM as a novel LptD/E-interactor that stabilizes LptD during LPS translocon assembly, revealing its role as a 'barrel-rivet' through cryo-EM and biochemical analyses.
