Abstract excerpt
OmpR is the response regulator of a two-component regulatory system that controls the expression of the porin genes ompF and ompC in Escherichia coli. This regulator consists of two domains joined by a flexible linker region. The amino-terminal domain is phosphorylated by the sensor kinase EnvZ, and the carboxyl-terminal domain binds DNA via a winged helix-turn-helix motif. In vitro studies have shown that...
