Glycolipid MPIase is essential for the TAT (Twin-Arginine Translocation) pathway

This study shows that MPIase is essential for the TAT pathway by demonstrating its role in TAT substrate translocation in Escherichia coli.

Structural and functional insights into multiple BAM-bound conformations of BepA enabling substrate triage at the outer membrane

This study reports cryo-EM structures of BAM-BepA complexes and identifies loop conformations that regulate BepA's dual function in substrate triage.
