Function
(Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for CdiA-EC93, the contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) effector of E.coli strain EC93; antibodies against extracellular epitopes decrease CDI. Its role in CDI is independent of the other Bam complex components. Is not the receptor for CdiA from E.coli strain 536 / UPEC, which does not have the same mode of toxicity as CdiA from strain EC93; the decreased expression of bamA101 in some experiments decreases the level of outer membrane proteins in general.
