Abstract excerpt
The OmpR protein is a positive regulator specific for the Escherichia coli ompF and ompC genes. This protein functions in a phosphorylation-dependent manner through a presumed interaction with RNA polymerase. We previously isolated OmpR mutants which were suggested to be defective in transcription activation, but not in DNA binding (the so-called positive control (PC) mutant). In this study we isolated mutants of...
