Porins form aqueous channels for the diffusion of small hydrophillic molecules across the outer membrane. Individual 16-strand anti-parallel beta-barrels form a central pore, and trimerizes thru mainly hydrophobic interactions at the interface. Trimers are stabilized by hytrophillic clamping of Loop L2. Loop 3 bends into the pore, creating an elliptical constriction of about 7 x 11A, large enough to allow passage of a glucose molecule without steric hindrance. Removal of the C-terminal residue (usuallly F) destabilizes the trimer and removal of the 16th beta-sheet abolishes trimerization. Unlike typical membrane proteins, porins lack long hydrophobic stretches. Short turns are found at the smooth, periplasmic end, longer irregular loops are found at the rough, extracellular end. C-terminal residue forms salt bridge with N-terminus.

Porin superfamily. These outer membrane channels share a beta-barrel structure that differ in strand and shear number. Classical (gram-negative ) porins are non-specific channels for small hydrophillic molecules and form 16 beta-stranded barrels (16,20), which associate as trimers. Maltoporin-like channels have specificities for various sugars and form 18 beta-stranded barrels (18,22), which associate as trimers. Ligand-gated protein channels cooperate with a TonB associated inner membrane complex to actively transport ligands via the proton motive force and they form monomeric, (22,24) barrels. The 150-200 N-terminal residues form a plug that blocks the channel from the periplasmic end.

of the residues that compose this conserved feature have been mapped to the query sequence.
Click on the triangle to view details about the feature, including a multiple sequence alignment
of your query sequence and the protein sequences used to curate the domain model,
where hash marks (#) above the aligned sequences show the location of the conserved feature residues.
The thumbnail image, if present, provides an approximate view of the feature's location in 3 dimensions.

This image shows a graphical summary of conserved domains identified on the query sequence.
The Show Concise/Full Display button at the top of the page can be used to select the desired level of detail: only top scoring hits
(labeled illustration) or all hits
(labeled illustration).
Domains are color coded according to superfamilies
to which they have been assigned. Hits with scores that pass a domain-specific threshold
(specific hits) are drawn in bright colors.
Others (non-specific hits) and
superfamily placeholders are drawn in pastel colors.
if a domain or superfamily has been annotated with functional sites (conserved features),
they are mapped to the query sequence and indicated through sets of triangles
with the same color and shade of the domain or superfamily that provides the annotation. Mouse over the colored bars or triangles to see descriptions of the domains and features.
click on the bars or triangles to view your query sequence embedded in a multiple sequence alignment of the proteins used to develop the corresponding domain model.
The table lists conserved domains identified on the query sequence. Click on the plus sign (+) on the left to display full descriptions, alignments, and scores.
Click on the domain model's accession number to view the multiple sequence alignment of the proteins used to develop the corresponding domain model.
To view your query sequence embedded in that multiple sequence alignment, click on the colored bars in the Graphical Summary portion of the search results page,
or click on the triangles, if present, that represent functional sites (conserved features)
mapped to the query sequence.
Concise Display shows only the best scoring domain model, in each hit category listed below except non-specific hits, for each region on the query sequence.
(labeled illustration) Standard Display shows only the best scoring domain model from each source, in each hit category listed below for each region on the query sequence.
(labeled illustration) Full Display shows all domain models, in each hit category below, that meet or exceed the RPS-BLAST threshold for statistical significance.
(labeled illustration) Four types of hits can be shown, as available,
for each region on the query sequence:
specific hits meet or exceed a domain-specific e-value threshold
(illustrated example)
and represent a very high confidence that the query sequence belongs to the same protein family as the sequences use to create the domain model
non-specific hits
meet or exceed the RPS-BLAST threshold for statistical significance (default E-value cutoff of 0.01, or an E-value selected by user via the
advanced search options)
the domain superfamily to which the specific and non-specific hits belong
multi-domain models that were computationally detected and are likely to contain multiple single domains
Retrieve proteins that contain one or more of the domains present in the query sequence, using the Conserved Domain Architecture Retrieval Tool
(CDART).
