Figure 2

Predicted folding and localization of WSP in the outer membrane. WSP shows an eight antiparallel stranded β-barrel structure with four highly hydrophilic loops (L1-4) protruding into the extracellular side (OUT). C- and N-termini are in the periplasmic side (IN). Loop size and amino acid content greatly vary among WSP sequences, thus exact folding and localization for these extracellular regions cannot be reliably predicted.
