Evolutionary characterization and structure-guided discovery of the β-barrel assembly machinery in Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum reveals a putative BamD-like protein.
The results offer evidence for a putative BamD-like protein in T. pallidum and support the existence of a conserved but simplified BAM complex in this pathogen, which establishes a structure-guided strategy for discovering divergent homologs of essential macromolecules.
