Abstract excerpt
OmpR is a transcriptional activator for the ompF and ompC genes of Escherichia coli. Its phosphorylation is mediated by a transmembrane sensory-receptor protein, EnvZ, and is essential for transcriptional activation. In a previous study, when the aspartic acid residue at position 55, the putative phosphorylation site, was replaced with glutamine (D55Q), ompF and ompC expression were completely lost. In this study...
