Abstract excerpt
The expression of each of the Escherichia coli ompF and ompC genes is activated by the common positive regulator, OmpR, in response to the medium osmolarity. The promoters for these genes consist of canonical -35 and -10 regions, and upstream OmpR-binding sites. In this study, we constructed a fu...
