Summary
LolA/B superfamily
Gram-negative bacteria lipoproteins are anchored to the periplasmic surface of the inner or outer membrane depending on the sorting signal, which is the residue at position 2 of the polypeptide. Five Lol proteins are involved in the sorting and membrane localisation of lipoprotein. An ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, LolCDE, releases outer membrane-specific lipoproteins from the inner membrane, causing the formation of a complex between the released lipoproteins and the periplasmic molecular chaperone LolA. When this complex interacts with outer membrane receptor LolB, the lipoproteins are transferred from LolA to LolB and then localised to the outer membrane. The structures of LolA and LolB are remarkably similar to each other. Both have a hydrophobic cavity consisting of an unclosed beta-barrel and an alpha-helical lid [1,2].
This clan contains 20 families and the total number of domains in the clan is 22038. The clan was built by RD Finn and A Bateman.

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 MSD group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt three-dimensional structures. The table below shows the mapping between the Pfam families in this clan, the corresponding UniProt entries, and the region of the three-dimensional structures that are available for that sequence.
