Is the C-terminal insertional signal in Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane proteins species-specific or not?

Is the C-terminal insertional signal in Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane proteins species-specific or not?

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In Gram-negative bacteria, the outer membrane is composed of an asymmetric lipid bilayer of phopspholipids and lipopolysaccharides, and the transmembrane proteins that reside in this membrane are almost exclusively β-barrel proteins....
