EnvZ-OmpR interaction and osmoregulation in Escherichia coli.
EnvZ, a histidine kinase/phosphatase in Escherichia coli, responds to the osmolarity changes in the medium by regulating the phosphorylation state of the transcription factor OmpR, which controls the expression levels of outer membrane porin proteins OmpF and OmpC. Although both ompR and envZ genes are located on the ompB locus under the control of the ompB promoter and transcribed as a single ...
متن کاملOsmoregulation of alkaline phosphatase synthesis in Escherichia coli K-12.
Alkaline phosphatase, the phoA product, is synthesized constitutively in phoR mutants. This constitutive synthesis, which is independent of phosphate control, varies with changes in the osmolarity of the growth medium; phoA expression increases with increasing osmolarity. Maximum expression of the osmoregulated genes phoA, ompC, and ompF was achieved by osmotic manipulation of minimal medium; c...
متن کاملTransduction in Escherichia Coli K-12.
SYSTEM of genetic transduction has been discovered in the sexually fertile A K-12 strain of Escherichia coli. This transduction is mediated by lambda, a temperate phage for which K-12 is normally lysogenic. The distinctive features of the lambda-K-12 system include the following: (1) The transductions are limited to a cluster of genes for galactose fermentation. The GaZ loci are closely linked ...
متن کاملIntegrating metabolic, transcriptional regulatory and signal transduction models in Escherichia coli
MOTIVATION The effort to build a whole-cell model requires the development of new modeling approaches, and in particular, the integration of models for different types of processes, each of which may be best described using different representation. Flux-balance analysis (FBA) has been useful for large-scale analysis of metabolic networks, and methods have been developed to incorporate transcri...
متن کاملContext-dependent functions of the PII and GlnK signal transduction proteins in Escherichia coli.
Two closely related signal transduction proteins, PII and GlnK, have distinct physiological roles in the regulation of nitrogen assimilation. Here, we examined the physiological roles of PII and GlnK when these proteins were expressed from various regulated or constitutive promoters. The results indicate that the distinct functions of PII and GlnK were correlated with the timing of expression a...
