Impairment of cell division in tolA mutants of Escherichia coli at low and high medium osmolarities.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the tolA gene of Escherichia coli cause the cell to become sensitive to detergents and to some antibiotics, to release periplasmic enzymes and to be resistant to group A colicins; tolA mutations also lead to mucoid phenotype. TolA is a three-domain protein anchored in the inner membrane by its N-terminal domain. The second domain is proposed to span the periplasmic space and to interact with trimeric...
