ABSTRACT After biosynthesis, bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are transiently anchored to the outer leaflet of the inner membrane (IM). The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter LptB2FG


extracts LPS molecules from the IM and transports them to the outer membrane. Here we report the crystal structure of nucleotide-free LptB2FG from _Pseudomonas aeruginosa_. The structure


reveals that lipopolysaccharide transport proteins LptF and LptG each contain a transmembrane domain (TMD), a periplasmic β-jellyroll-like domain and a coupling helix that interacts with


LptB on the cytoplasmic side. The LptF and LptG TMDs form a large outward-facing V-shaped cavity in the IM. Mutational analyses suggest that LPS may enter the central cavity laterally, via


the interface of the TMD domains of LptF and LptG, and is expelled into the β-jellyroll-like domains upon ATP binding and hydrolysis by LptB. These studies suggest a mechanism for LPS


extraction by LptB2FG that is distinct from those of classical ABC transporters that transport substrates across the IM. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of

0.1% L-arabinose and 50 μg ml−1 kanamycin. The growth phenotypes of the _lptFG_-depleted _E. coli_ strain NR1113 transformed with positive-to-negative mutations in the absence of
