Abstract excerpt
An insertion mutation in the Escherichia coli dsbA gene, coding for periplasmic disulfide oxidoreductase, dramatically reduces the level of OmpF porin protein in the cell envelope. Studies with chromosomal ompF-lacZ operon and gene fusions indicate that this is due to reduced ompF transcription. Identical effects resulted from growth in medium containing the reducing agent dithiothreitol, but the combined effects...
