1.B.70 The Outer Membrane Channel (OMC) Family The OMC family consists of putative porins that are homologous to many other porins although this particular family is poorly characterized. These proteins are derived from proteobacteria of the alpha, beta and gamma subphyla as well as chlorobi and planctomycetes and probably other phyla. They are therefore wide spread in Gram-negative bacteria.
This family belongs to the Outer Membrane Pore-forming Protein I (OMPP-I) Superfamily .

1.B.70.1.15	Porin Omp2B of 362 aas. Allows facilitated diffusion of solutes through the porin (Vassen et al. 2019). Among surface protein antigens, the Omp2a and Omp2b porins display the highest diversity in Brucella species. The genes coding for these proteins are closely linked in the Brucella genome and oriented in opposite directions. They share between 85 and 100% sequence identity depending on the Brucella species, biovar, or genotype. Only the omp2b gene copy has been shown to be expressed, and genetic variation is extensively generated by gene conversion between the two copies. Size reduction occurred affecting the region encoding the surface L5 loop of the porin, previously shown to be critical in sugar permeability, followed by a nucleotide reduction in the surface L8 loop-encoding region. It resulted in a final omp2b gene size shared between two distinct clades of non-classical Brucella spp. (African bullfrog isolates) and the group of classical Brucella species (Leclercq et al. 2019).

1.B.70.1.2	OmpIIIA or RopA of 340 - 166 aas and 1 N-terminal TMS. RopA and RopB (TC# 1.B.4.2.19), which have β-barrel structures, may be involved in the control of plant-microbial symbiosis. Kosolapova et al. 2019 demonstrated that the full-length RopA and RopB proteins form amyloid fibrils in vitro. These fibrils are β-sheet-rich, bind Thioflavin T (ThT), exhibit green birefringence upon staining with Congo Red (CR), and resist treatment with ionic detergents and proteases. Heterologously expressed RopA and RopB intracellularly aggregate in yeast and assemble into amyloid fibrils at the surface of E. coli. The capsules of the R. leguminosarum cells bind CR, exhibit green birefringence, and contain fibrils of RopA and RopB in vivo (Kosolapova et al. 2019). Based on similarity, they form passive diffusion pores that allow small molecular weight hydrophilic materials to cross the outer membrane.	Bacteria	OmpIIIA or RopA of Rhizobium leguminosarum
