Gene Review:

High impact information on ompR

The sequence data also showed that ompR and envZ form an operon, where the coding regions overlap by four base-pairs [1].
Analysis of ompR frameshift mutations showed that translation of envZ is almost totally dependent on the translation of the upstream gene ompR [1].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of ompR

Scanning electron microscopy revealed that BPI treatment produced greater membrane perturbations in the ompR- strain, apparent even before lethal injury [2].
