The Carbapenem resistance-associated outer membrane protein (carO) Family [Function: Specific diffusion channels] Seed alignment | Full alignment | TC-DB page | ||||
This family contains outer membrane proteins responsible for carbapenem resistance in the Moraxellaceae family of Gamma-Proteobacteria. Resistance to both imipenem and meropenem in multidrug-resistant clinical strains of Acinetobacter baumannii is associated with the loss of a heat-modifiable 29 kDa outer membrane protein, designated carO, which was the first identified member of the family and its structure revealed an 8-stranded monomeric ß-barrel. CarO (carbapenem-associated outer membrane protein) from Acinetobacter baumannii is a small OM protein that has been implicated in the uptake of ornithine and carbapenem antibiotics. The crystal structure of CarO showed a monomeric eight-stranded barrel lacking an open channel. | ||||
