Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli, the two-component regulatory system that controls the expression of outer membrane porins in response to environmental osmolarity consists of the sensor kinase EnvZ and the response regulator OmpR. Phosphorylated OmpR activates expression of the OmpF porin at low osmolarity, and at high osmolarity represses ompF transcription and activates expression of OmpC. We have characterized a...
