Abstract excerpt
EnvZ and OmpR are a transmembrane sensor and its cognate response regulator, respectively, regulating the transcription of porin genes in response to medium osmolarity in Escherichia coli. The cytoplasmic domain of EnvZ (EnvZc) possesses both kinase and phosphatase activities and can be dissected into two functional domains, A and B. Here, we performed a cysteine-scanning analysis of domain A, a 67-residue...
