1.B.35.1.1
The oligogalacturonate-specific porin, KdgM.  The 3-D structure is known at 1.9 Å resolution (Hutter et al. 2014).  KdgM folds into a 12-stranded antiparallel beta-barrel with a circular cross-section defining a transmembrane pore with a minimal radius of 3.1 Å. Most loops that face the cell exterior in vivo are disordered but nevertheless mediate contact between densely packed membrane-like layers in the crystal. The channel is lined by two tracks of arginine residues facing each other across the pore, a feature that is conserved within the KdgM family and is likely to facilitate the diffusion of acidic oligosaccharides (Hutter et al. 2014).
