Escherichia coli outer membrane protein K is a porin.
Protein K is an outer membrane protein found in pathogenic encapsulated strains of Escherichia coli. We present evidence here that protein K is structurally and functionally related to the E. coli K-12 porin proteins (OmpF, OmpC, and PhoE). Protein K was found to cross-react with antibody to OmpF protein and to share 8 out of 17 peptides in common with the OmpF protein. Strains that are OmpC po...
متن کاملExpression in Escherichia coli and function of Pseudomonas aeruginosa outer membrane porin protein F.
The gene encoding porin protein F of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was cloned onto a cosmid vector into Escherichia coli. Protein F was expressed as the predominant outer membrane protein in a porin-deficient E. coli background and was clearly visible on one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels in a porin-sufficient background. The identity of the protein F from the E. coli clone and...
متن کاملRole of a major outer membrane protein in Escherichia coli.
Mutants of Escherichia coli B/r lacking a major outer membrane protein, protein b, were obtained by selecting for resistance to copper. These mutants showed a decreased ability to utilize a variety of metabolites when the metabolites were present at low concentrations. Also, mutants of E. coli K-12 lacking proteins b and c from the outer membrane were shown to have an identical defect in the up...
متن کاملPrimary structure of major outer membrane protein II (ompA protein) of Escherichia coli K-12.
The amino acid sequence of major outer membrane protein II (ompA protein) from Escherichia coli K-12 has been determined. The transmembrane polypeptide consists of 325 residues, resulting in a molecular weight of 35,159. The transmembrane part of the protein is located between residues 1 and 177. In this part of the protein a predominantly lipophilic 27-residue segment exists that perhaps spans...
متن کاملAssembly of TolC, a structurally unique and multifunctional outer membrane protein of Escherichia coli K-12.
TolC is a multifunctional outer membrane protein of Escherichia coli that folds into a novel alpha-beta-barrel conformation absent in the other model outer membrane proteins used in assembly studies. The data presented in this work show that the unique folded structure of TolC reflects a unique assembly pathway. During its assembly, the newly translocated nascent TolC monomers are released in t...
