The β-barrel assembly machine (BAM) integrates β-barrel proteins into the outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria. An essential BAM subunit (BamA) catalyzes integration by promoting the formation of a hybrid-barrel intermediate-state between its own β-barrel domain and that of its client proteins. Here we show that in addition to catalyzing the integration of β-barrel proteins, BamA functions as a polypeptide export channel. In vivo structural mapping via intermolecular disulfide-crosslinking showed that the extracellular ‘passenger’ domain of a member of the ‘autotransporter’ superfamily of virulence factors traverses the OM through the BamA β-barrel lumen. Furthermore, we demonstrate that a highly conserved residue within autotransporter β-barrels is required to position the passenger inside BamA to initiate translocation, and that during translocation the passenger stabilizes the hybrid-barrel state. Our results not only establish a new function for BamA, but also unify the divergent functions of BamA and other ‘Omp85’ superfamily transporters. The mechanism by which the large soluble domains of outer membrane proteins such as autotransporters are secreted into the extracellular environment has been a long-standing mystery. Doyle and Bernstein show that the essential outer membrane protein BamA creates a unique channel that fulfils this export function.
