Protein–protein interactions and the spatiotemporal dynamics of bacterial outer membrane proteins

•We discuss spatiotemporal patterning in the bacterial outer membrane.•Promiscuous interactions between outer membrane proteins govern their behaviour.•Turnover and biogenesis of outer membrane proteins linked to formation of clusters.•Implications of spatiotemporal patterning for bacterial physiolo...
