LptC is a critical component of the lipopolysaccharide transport (LPS) system in Gram-negative bacteria, responsible for maintaining outer membrane integrity. LPS, a major constituent of the outer membrane, consists of lipid A, core oligosaccharide, and O-antigen. Its proper assembly is essential for bacterial survival and virulence. The Lpt system, comprising seven proteins (LptA-LptG), mediates LPS extraction from the inner membrane and its transport to the outer membrane. LptC, a periplasmic protein, acts as a bridge between the inner membrane complex (LptB\(_2\)FG) and the periplasmic shuttle protein LptA. It facilitates the transfer of LPS from the inner membrane to LptA, enabling subsequent translocation across the periplasm. Structural studies suggest LptC contains a hydrophobic groove that binds the lipid A moiety of LPS, ensuring efficient transport.
Recombinant LptC proteins are engineered for functional and structural studies. Produced via heterologous expression in *E. coli* or other host systems, these proteins are purified using affinity tags (e.g., His-tag) and subjected to biochemical assays, crystallography, or cryo-EM to elucidate LPS transport mechanisms. Recombinant LptC has been instrumental in identifying interactions within the Lpt machinery and mapping critical residues for LPS binding. Additionally, it serves as a target in antibiotic discovery, as disrupting LPS biogenesis could lead to novel therapeutics against multidrug-resistant pathogens. Recent research also explores LptC’s role in bacterial stress responses and its potential as a vaccine antigen. However, challenges persist in stabilizing full-length LptC for structural analysis due to its flexible domains. Ongoing studies aim to refine expression systems and probe LptC’s dynamics during LPS transport, offering insights into Gram-negative membrane biology and antimicrobial strategies.
