摘要: The outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria allows the to survive amidst harsh conditions and is crucial for its interaction with environment. consists proteins LPS. protein content contributes up 50 % total mass whole bacterium. Further, about one-third genome encodes proteins. These are beta barrel in structure perform various roles apart from providing structural stability. They can help transport substances, signal transduction, adherence invasion, enzymatic reactions, as well act PAMPs (pathogen associated molecular patterns) which be recognized by PRRs (pattern recognition receptors) present on host immune cells. Porins a class that aid substances across membrane. This review highlights role porins immuno-modulatory processes, signaling mechanisms they activate cells their use vaccines against bacterial infections.
