Disease relevance of ompC

  • A comparative study on the genes for three porins of the Escherichia coli outer membrane. DNA sequence of the osmoregulated ompC gene [1].
  • This was accomplished by employing a genetic scheme in which two simultaneous selections enriched for ompC mutants defective in phage attachment, but retained functional channels [2].
  • On the other hand, transformants carrying a plasmid encoding the Salmonella typhi ompC gene remained as resistant to the drug as the parental strain, even though they overexpressed OmpC [3].
  • The csaA, -B, -C, -E operon was cloned on a stabilized plasmid downstream from an osomotically regulated ompC promoter. pGA2-CS4 directs production of CS4 fimbriae in both E. coli DH5alpha and Shigella flexneri 2a vaccine strain CVD 1204, as detected by Western blot analysis and bacterial agglutination with anti-CS4 immune sera [4].
 

High impact information on ompC

  • To study the structure-function relationship of these proteins, we have constructed a series of ompC-phoE hybrid genes in which the DNA encoding part of one protein is replaced by the corresponding part of the other gene [5].
  • DNase I protection studies showed that ChxR bound to sites in the ompF and ompC promoter proximal regions that overlap but were distinct from OmpR binding sites [6].
  • Phosphorylation of OmpR by the osmosensor EnvZ modulates expression of the ompF and ompC genes in Escherichia coli [7].
  • We used the property that small RNAs are often involved in RNA-RNA interactions to capture RseX putative partners; ompA and ompC mRNA, which encode two major outer membrane proteins, were identified [8].
  • Two different sequence motifs were found to be protected by OmpR in both the ompF and ompC promoter regions [9].

Other interactions of ompC

  • Antisera were raised against the purified Escherichia coli K12 outer membrane proteins ompA-, ompC- and ompF proteins and protein e [18].
  • Measurements with other salts indicated a drastic change in the ionic selectivity when the fusion site in the ompC-phoE hybrid genes passed along the sequence of the porins from the N-terminal to the C-terminal end [19].
  • Osmo-inducible fusions of phoA were found to ompC and to a gene that is probably proU [20].
  • In addition, we show that the expression of ompF under the lpp promoter has no direct effect on ompC expression [21].
  • The single rmf and rpoS, but not ompC, mutant only slightly reduced cell viability [22].
