1.B.96.1.1
OEP40 porin of 358 aas and 10 transmembrane β-strands. The reconstituted recombinant OEP40 protein forms a high conductance β-barrel ion channel with subconductant states in planar lipid bilayers. It is slightly cation-selective PK+/PCl- ≈ 4:1 and rectifying (i⃗/i⃖ ≅ 2) with a slope conductance of Ḡmax ≅ 690 picosiemens. It has a restriction zone diameter of ≅ 1.4 nm and is permeable to glucose, glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate, but not for maltose. Moreover, channel properties are regulated by trehalose 6-phosphate, which cannot permeate. Thus, OEP40 is a "glucose-gate" in the outer envelope membrane of chloroplasts, facilitating selective metabolite exchange between chloroplasts and the surrounding cytoplasm of the cell (Harsman et al. 2016).These porins and many others in eukaryotes have been reviewed and analyzed by Roumia et al. 2020.
