Abstract excerpt
A novel genetic scheme allowed us to isolate extragenic suppressor mutations that restored mutant OmpF assembly. One group of these mutations, termed asmB for assembly suppressor mutation B, permitted mutant OmpF assembly in a non-allele-specific manner. Genetic mapping analyses placed the asmB mutations at the 2-min region of the Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome. Further analyses revealed that the asmB mutations...
