Data for 'Outer membrane protein assembly mediated by BAM-SurA complexes'

The outer membrane is a formidable barrier that protects Gram-negative bacteria against environmental threats. Its integrity requires the correct folding and insertion of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) by the membrane-embedded β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM). Unfolded OMPs are delivered to BAM by the periplasmic chaperone SurA, but how SurA and BAM work together to ensure successful OMP delivery and folding remains unclear. Here, we present a dataset of single-molecule FRET of SurA and its interaction with the BAM alongside two alphafold predictions of the formed complex.
