Host AAA-ATPase VCP/p97 binds and extracts ubiquitinated proteins from the bacterial cell membrane causing bacterial lysis and death to confer cell-autonomous protection against infection.

Membrane proteins are proteins found in cell membranes, either at the surface ... an essential factor that catalyzes the membrane insertion of bacterial outer membrane proteins.
