Abstract excerpt
The two-component regulatory system, OmpR-EnvZ, of Escherichia coli K-12 regulates the expression of the major outer membrane porin protein, OmpF. OmpR is a DNA-binding protein which acts as both an activator and a repressor to control ompF transcription. In this article, we describe a new OmpR-binding site that is located between 384 to 351 bp upstream from the ompF start point of transcription. Inactivation of...
