A novel ompC mutation of Escherichia coli K-12 that reduces OmpC and OmpF levels in the outer membrane.

Abstract excerpt

A novel ompC mutation was isolated that not only lowered the amount of its own product, OmpC27, but also reduced the level of OmpF present in the outer membrane. ompC27 codes for a mutant OmpC protein that contains two non-native cysteine residues. The ompC27 allele confers phage resistance by lowering the level of OmpC present in the outer membrane. This effect on OmpC27 was manifested at the level of assembly...
