Identifier LOLA
Protein name RecName: Full=Outer-membrane lipoprotein carrier protein;
case <Feature:Signal>
Protein name + Flags: Precursor;
end case
Gene name Name=lolA;

Comments [?]

FUNCTIONParticipates in the translocation of lipoproteins from the inner membrane to the outer membrane. Only forms a complex with a lipoprotein if the residue after the N-terminal Cys is not an aspartate (The Asp acts as a targeting signal to indicate that the lipoprotein should stay in the inner membrane).
SUBUNITMonomer.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONPeriplasm.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the LolA family.

Comments The epsilon proteobacteria possess lolA but apparently they do not have lolB. Further characterization is needed to assess to which protein the outer membrane lipoproteins are translocated (the same applies to the animal symbionts Candidatus Blochmannia floridanus and Wigglesworthia glossinidia brevipalpis).
