Function of Pseudomonas Porins in Uptake and Efflux
Abstract
▪ Abstract Porins are proteins that form water-filled channels across the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria and thus make this membrane semipermeable. There are four types of porins: general/nonspecific porins, substrate-specific porins, gated porins, and efflux porins (also called channel-tunnels). The recent publication of the genomic sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 has dramatically increased our understanding of the porins of this organism. In particular this organism has 3 large families of porins: the OprD family of specific porins (19 members), the OprM family of efflux porins (18 members), and the TonB-interacting family of gated porins (35 members). These familial relationships underlie functional similarities such that well-studied members of these families become prototypes for other members. We summarize here the latest information on these porins.

The innate low susceptibility of Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter baumanii to β-lactams (compared to Enterobacteriaceae) can be explained, at least in part, by a reduced number and/or differential expression of porins.
“Likewise, the innate low susceptibility of Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter baumanii to β-lactams (compared to Enterobacteriaceae) can be explained, at least in part, to a reduced number and/or differential expression of porins (38).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
