In Gram-negative bacteria, the assembly of beta-barrel outer-membrane proteins (OMPs) requires the beta-barrel-assembly machinery (BAM) complex. We determined the crystal structure of the 200-kDa BAM complex from Escherichia coli at 3.55-angstrom resolution. The structure revealed that the BAM complex assembles into a hat-like shape, in which the BamA beta-barrel domain forms the hat's crown embedded in the outer membrane, and its five polypeptide transport-associated (POTRA) domains interact with the four lipoproteins BamB, BamC, BamD and BamE, thus forming the hat's brim in the periplasm. The assembly of the BAM complex creates a ring-like apparatus beneath the BamA beta-barrel in the periplasm and a potential substrate-exit pore located at the outer membrane-periplasm interface. The complex structure suggests that the chaperone-bound OMP substrates may feed into the chamber of the ring-like apparatus and insert into the outer membrane via the potential substrate-exit pore in an energy-independent manner.
