Bacteriocins are toxins deployed by bacteria to kill their competitors. Here, I reflect on my laboratory’s work on protein bacteriocins and their immunity proteins from Gram-negative bacteria. We unco...

The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria serves as an effective permeability barrier and confers intrinsic antibiotic resistance. This barrier function requires distinct distribution of lipid...

This study reveals that an outer membrane protein from the predator Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus forms a pentameric assembly that traps a lipid monolayer within. This allows the discovery of two superfa...
