Mechanistic basis of LolDF-mediated lipoprotein transport in Acinetobacter
Lipoprotein trafficking is essential for Gram-negative bacteria to maintain the outer membrane, a permeability barrier critical for survival and antibiotic resistance. While most bacteria employ the canonical LolCDE transporter, Acinetobacter utilizes a noncanonical LolDF system whose mechanism has remained unclear. He...
