Role 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 کاملPal lipoprotein of Escherichia coli plays a major role in outer membrane integrity.
The Tol-Pal system of gram-negative bacteria is composed of five proteins. TolA, TolQ, and TolR are inner membrane proteins, TolB is a periplasmic protein, and Pal, the peptidoglycan-associated lipoprotein, is anchored to the outer membrane. In this study, the roles of Pal and major lipoprotein Lpp were compared in Escherichia coli. lpp and tol-pal mutations have previously been found to pertur...
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 کاملGenetic locus (ompB) affecting a major outer-membrane protein in Escherichia coli K-12.
Three multiply colicin-tolerant mutants in Escherichia coli K-12 from the TolIV, TolXIV, and TolXV phenotypic groups, all lacking or having only trace amounts of protein 1, a major outer-membrane protein, were mapped by Hfr crosses, and the position on the chromosome was confirmed by cotransduction with nearby markers. The mutations were located near malQP in the 74-min region of the E. coli ch...
متن کاملRole of micF in the tolC-mediated regulation of OmpF, a major outer membrane protein of Escherichia coli K-12.
Mutation in the tolC locus greatly reduces normal synthesis of OmpF, a major porin protein of Escherichia coli K-12. Experiments that use ompF-ompC chimeric genes demonstrate that a tolC mutation exerts its effect at either the promoter or the amino-terminal end of the ompF gene. Direct analysis of ompF mRNA from tolC+ and tolC strains showed that the amount of ompF transcript in the latter was...
