TL;DR

This chapter outlines a detailed workflow for the expression, purification, and structural analysis of the ABC transporter MsbA from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PaMsbA), which exemplifies how biochemical optimization, native mass spectrometry, and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can be integrated to investigate membrane protein function and structure.

Structural modelling and functional analysis support lipid binding by the dimeric E. coli DedA protein YqjA

It is shown that the Escherichia coli DedA protein YqjA exists predominantly as a dimer and, by combining structural modelling with site-specific cysteine crosslinking, the most likely dimer interface is identified, which supports a role for lipid binding in the activity of YqjA.
