Abstract

Surface-exposed proteins of Gram-negative bacteria are represented by integral outer membrane beta-barrel proteins and lipoproteins. No computational methods exist for predicting surface-exposed lipoproteins, and therefore lipoprotein topology must be experimentally tested. This chapter describes three distinct but complementary methods for the detection of surface-exposed proteins: cell surface protein labeling, accessibility to extracellular protease and antibodies.
