Several antibacterial compounds have recently been discovered that potentially inhibit the activity of BamA, an essential subunit of a heterooligomer (the barrel assembly machinery or BAM) that assembles outer membrane proteins (OMPs) in Gram-negative bacteria, but their mode of action is unclear. To address this issue, we examined the effect of three inhibitors on the biogenesis of a model E. coli OMP (EspP) in vivo. We found that darobactin potently inhibited the interaction of a conserved C-terminal sequence motif (the “β signal”) with BamA, but had no effect on assembly if added at a postbinding stage. In contrast, Polyphor peptide 7 and MRL-494 inhibited both binding and at least one later step of assembly. Taken together with previous studies that analyzed the binding of darobactin and Polyphor peptide 7 to BamA in vitro, our results strongly suggest that the two compounds inhibit BAM function by distinct competitive and allosteric mechanisms. In addition to providing insights into the properties of the antibacterial compounds, our results also provide direct experimental evidence that supports a model in which the binding of the β signal to BamA initiates the membrane insertion of OMPs.
