Type: | Family | Name: | Outer membrane porin F |
Description: | OprF is one of the major proteins of the outer membrane of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It has porin activity and can form water-filled pores of variable size []. Pseudomonas aeruginosa OprF exists in two different conformations: a majority two-domain conformation that has no porin activity and consists of an N-terminal transmembrane beta-barrel domain and a C-terminal periplasmic globular domain, and a minority one-domain conformation with high porin activity and presumably consisting of a large beta barrel [, ]. | Short Name: | OprF |
