The outer membrane protein, antigen 43, mediates cell-to-cell interactions within Escherichia coli biofilms.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jul 2000

Danese P N, Pratt L A, Dove S L, Kolter R

Abstract excerpt

Transcription of the agn43 locus, which specifies an outer membrane protein of Escherichia coli, is regulated in a phase-variable fashion by the OxyR-DNA binding protein and Dam methylase. Despite its well-characterized regulation, the function of Ag43 has remained elusive until now. Previous studies indicated that Ag43 mediates autoaggregation of certain strains of E. coli in liquid culture. Given this...
