Abstract
To exchange and communicate with their surroundings, bacteria have evolved multiple active and passive mechanisms for trans-envelope transport. Among the pore-forming complexes found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, secretins are distinctive homo-oligomeric channels dedicated to the active translocation of voluminous structures such as folded proteins, assembled fibers, virus particles or DNA. Members of the bacterial secretin family share a common cylinder-shaped structure with a gated pore-forming part inserted in the outer membrane, and a periplasmic channel connected to the inner membrane components of the corresponding nanomachine. In this mini-review, we will present what recently determined 3D structures have told us about the mechanisms of translocation through secretins of large substrates to the bacterial surface or in the extracellular milieu.

Click-chemistry approach to study mycoloylated proteins: Evidence for PorB and PorC porins mycoloylation in Corynebacterium glutamicum. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0171955.

Abstract
Protein mycoloylation is a recently identified, new form of protein acylation. This post-translational modification consists in the covalent attachment of mycolic acids residues to serine. Mycolic acids are long chain, α-branched, β-hydroxylated fatty acids that are exclusively found in the cell envelope of Corynebacteriales, a bacterial order that includes important genera such as Mycobacterium, Nocardia or Corynebacterium. So far, only 3 mycoloylated proteins have been identified: PorA, PorH and ProtX from C. glutamicum. Whereas the identity and function of ProtX is unknown, PorH and PorA associate to form a membrane channel, the activity of which is dependent upon PorA mycoloylation. However, the exact role of mycoloylation and the generality of this phenomenon are still unknown. In particular, the identity of other mycoloylated proteins, if any, needs to be determined together with establishing whether such modification occurs in Corynebacteriales genera other than Corynebacterium. Here, we tested whether a metabolic labeling and click-chemistry approach could be used to detect mycoloylated proteins. Using a fatty acid alkyne analogue, we could indeed label PorA, PorH and ProtX and determine ProtX mycoloylation site. Importantly, we also show that two other porins from C. glutamicum, PorB and PorC are mycoloylated.

Abstract
Members of a group of multimeric secretion pores that assemble independently of any known membrane-embedded insertase in Gram-negative bacteria fold into a prepore before membrane-insertion occurs. The mechanisms and the energetics that drive the folding of these proteins are poorly understood. Here, equilibrium unfolding and hydrogen/deuterium exchange monitored by mass spectrometry indicated that a loss of 4-5 kJ/mol/protomer in the N3 domain that is peripheral to the membrane-spanning C domain in the dodecameric secretin PulD, the founding member of this class, prevents pore formation by destabilizing the prepore into a poorly structured dodecamer as visualized by electron microscopy. Formation of native PulD-multimers by mixing protomers that differ in N3 domain stability, suggested that the N3 domain forms a thermodynamic seal onto the prepore. This highlights the role of modest free energy changes in the folding of pre-integration forms of a hyperstable outer membrane complex and reveals a key driving force for assembly independently of the β-barrel assembly machinery.
