Transmembrane signal transduction and osmoregulation in Escherichia coli: functional importance of the transmembrane regions of membrane-located protein kinase, EnvZ.

Abstract excerpt

EnvZ is a membrane-located protein kinase which modulates expression of the ompF and ompC genes through phosphotransfer signal transduction in Escherichia coli. Previously, we developed an in vitro method for analyzing the intact form of EnvZ in isolated cytoplasmic membranes, and demonstrated th...
