In Gram-negative bacteria, integral outer membrane β-barrel proteins (OMP) are assembled by the β-barrel assembly machine complex, or BAM complex. This complex includes the essential components BamA, an OMP composed of a carboxyl terminal β-barrel domain and five polypeptide transport-associated domains (POTRA), and the lipoprotein BamD. InEscherichiacoli, the complex contains an additional three lipoproteins, BamB, C and E required for efficient delivery of OMPs to the outer membrane. Here we provide methods for production, isotope labeling, purification, and functional screening of BamE for research purposes. Purification strategies of both the soluble and wild-type membrane-tethered forms of BamE are described using techniques including osmotic shock, Ni-NTA purification, and size-exclusion chromatography. Functional screening using a simple plate assay is also described which allows screening for defects in outer membrane permeability.
