The outer membrane (OM) of gram-negative bacteria acts as a robust permeability barrier to enable cell survival in a wide variety of harsh environments. Crucial to OM integrity are β-barrel outer membrane proteins (OMPs) that are assembled into the membrane by the broadly conserved β-barrel assembly machine (Bam) complex. Here, we identify specific roles for the periplasmic chaperone Skp in functioning as a sacrificial adaptor protein to remove stalled substrates from the Bam complex, imposing an active quality control mechanism that ensures efficient assembly of nascent OMPs into the OM. This work identifies the molecular mechanism of the Skp/DegP functional relationship and clarifies the long-standing paradox of how substrate release from the high-affinity, long-lived Skp–OMP complex is achieved in vivo. The biogenesis of integral β-barrel outer membrane proteins (OMPs) in gram-negative bacteria requires transport by molecular chaperones across the aqueous periplasmic space. Owing in part to the extensive functional redundancy within the periplasmic chaperone network, specific roles for molecular chaperones in OMP quality control and assembly have remained largely elusive. Here, by deliberately perturbing the OMP assembly process through use of multiple folding-defective substrates, we have identified a role for the periplasmic chaperone Skp in ensuring efficient folding of OMPs by the β-barrel assembly machine (Bam) complex. We find that β-barrel substrates that fail to integrate into the membrane in a timely manner are removed from the Bam complex by Skp, thereby allowing for clearance of stalled Bam–OMP complexes. Following the displacement of OMPs from the assembly machinery, Skp subsequently serves as a sacrificial adaptor protein to directly facilitate the degradation of defective OMP substrates by the periplasmic protease DegP. We conclude that Skp acts to ensure efficient β-barrel folding by directly mediating the displacement and degradation of assembly-compromised OMP substrates from the Bam complex.
