Abstract excerpt
The EnvZ-OmpR two-component system of Escherichia coli regulates the expression of the ompF and ompC porin genes in response to medium osmolarity. However, certain mutations in envZ confer pleiotropy by affecting the expression of genes of the iron and maltose regulons not normally controlled by EnvZ-OmpR. In this study, we obtained two novel envZ and ompR pleiotropic alleles, envZT15P and ompRL19Q, among...
