Intermembrane crosstalk drives inner-membrane protein organization in Escherichia coli
Outer membrane proteins (OMPs) in Gram-negative bacteria have restricted lateral mobility. Here, Rassam et al. show that the bacteriocin ColE9, via its interactions with OMPs, imposes this restricted mobility on the inner membrane proteins of the Tol-Pal complex.
