Disease relevance of lom

High-level synthesis of the phage lambda outer-membrane protein from the cloned lom gene [1].

High impact information on lom

One of these is lom, the product of which is found in the bacterial outer membrane, and is homologous to virulence proteins of two other enterobacterial genera [2].
The reading frame of lom was identified as ORF206a [1].
A 2.7-kb KpnI-EcoRI fragment carrying the lom gene of bacteriophage lambda has been cloned into plasmid pPR42 and recloned into the SmaI site of pUC9 [1].
The gene (lom = lambda outer membrane) encoding this polypeptide has been mapped in the non-essential region of the lambda genome between coordinates 39.4% and 40.7% of lambda [3].
