Braun's lipoprotein Edit Wikipedia article
Most abundant membrane protein. Bound by the covalent bond to the peptidoglycan layer and embedded in the outer membrane by its hydrophobic head. Tightly links the outer membrane and the peptidoglycan layer.

Lipoprotein leucine-zipper Provide feedback
This is leucine-zipper is found in the enterobacterial outer membrane lipoprotein LPP. It is likely that this domain oligomerises and is involved in protein-protein interactions. As such it is a bundle of alpha-helical coiled-coils, which are known to play key roles in mediating specific protein-protein interactions for in molecular recognition and the assembly of multi-protein complexes.

Pfam Clan
This family is a member of clan OML_zippers (CL0590), which has the following description:
This is a superfamily of short outer membrane lipoporteins that are coiled-coils of alpha-helices. The families included are both leucine and alanine zippers. A zipper motif is a heptad or seven-residue repeat, represented by X..X...X..X...X..X...X..X...X..X, etc, where the X is hydrophobic residue, usually a leucine or alanine, and the intermediate residues are largely polar or hydrophilic; that is, the responsible residues occur at positions 1 and 4 in the heptad. Monomers combine together into dimers and higher order structures. Coiled-coil motifs are ubiquitous mediators of specific protein-protein interactions, in this case outer membrane 'tubes', by forming interlocking hydrophobic seams between the alpha-helical chains [1].
The clan contains the following 3 members:
Alanine_zipper FadA LPPAlignments
We store a range of different sequence alignments for families. As well as the seed alignment from which the family is built, we provide the full alignment, generated by searching the sequence database (reference proteomes) using the family HMM. We also generate alignments using four representative proteomes (RP) sets and the UniProtKB sequence database. More...
View options
We make a range of alignments for each Pfam-A family. You can see a description of each above. You can view these alignments in various ways but please note that some types of alignment are never generated while others may not be available for all families, most commonly because the alignments are too large to handle.

HMM logos is one way of visualising profile HMMs. Logos provide a quick overview of the properties of an HMM in a graphical form. You can see a more detailed description of HMM logos and find out how you can interpret them here. More...
Trees
This page displays the phylogenetic tree for this family's seed alignment. We use FastTree to calculate neighbour join trees with a local bootstrap based on 100 resamples (shown next to the tree nodes). FastTree calculates approximately-maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees from our seed alignment.
Note: You can also download the data file for the tree.
Curation and family details

Structures
For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the LPP domain has been found. There are 24 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein sequence.
