The Major Proteins of the Escherichia coli Outer Cell-Envelope Membrane. Heterogeneity of Protein I

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...

heterogeneity within the orientalist discourse: representation of the orient in womens travelogues and mens paintings

from 1950s onward, new theories and critical approaches burgeoned across humanities. these theories were context-oriented; as a result, the analysis of discursive practices gained significance. thus, social, political, historical and cultural discourses that have been hitherto marginalized and considered inferior to literary texts, were introduced as important texts to be analyzed by critics. o...

Identification of an I-Ed-restricted T-cell epitope of Escherichia coli outer membrane protein F.

A predominant T-cell epitope of Escherichia coli outer membrane protein F (OmpF) that encompasses amino acids 295 to 314 was identified in H-2(d) mice. BALB/c-derived T-cell hybridomas generated against this region were CD3(+), CD4(+), CD8(-), and T-cell receptor alphabeta(+) and secreted TH-1-associated cytokines (interleukin-2 [IL-2] and gamma interferon), but not a TH-2-associated cytokine (...

A Chimeric Vaccine Consisting of Highly Immunogenic Regions form Escherichia coli Iron Regulated Outer-Membrane Proteins: An In Silico Approach

Overexpression and surface localization of the Chlamydia trachomatis major outer membrane protein in Escherichia coli.

The Chlamydia trachomatis major outer membrane protein (MOMP) is the quantitatively predominant surface protein which has important functional, structural and antigenic properties. We have cloned and overexpressed the MOMP in Escherichia coli. The MOMP is surface exposed in C. trachomatis and capable of eliciting protective antibodies in infected hosts, and therefore has potential as a candidat...
