An outer membrane protein (OmpA) of Escherichia coli K-12 undergoes a conformational change during export.
Pulse-chase experiments were performed to follow the export of the Escherichia coli outer membrane protein OmpA. Besides the pro-OmpA protein, which carries a 21-residue signal sequence, three species of ompA gene products were distinguishable. One probably represented an incomplete nascent chain, another the mature protein in the outer membrane, and the third, designated imp-OmpA (immature pro...
متن کاملPrimary structure of major outer membrane protein II (ompA protein) of Escherichia coli K-12.
The amino acid sequence of major outer membrane protein II (ompA protein) from Escherichia coli K-12 has been determined. The transmembrane polypeptide consists of 325 residues, resulting in a molecular weight of 35,159. The transmembrane part of the protein is located between residues 1 and 177. In this part of the protein a predominantly lipophilic 27-residue segment exists that perhaps spans...
متن کاملEscherichia coli K-12 outer membrane protein (OmpA) as a bacteriophage receptor: analysis of mutant genes expressing altered proteins.
The outer membrane protein OmpA of Escherichia coli K-12 serves as a receptor for a number of T-even-like phages. We have isolated a series of ompA mutants which are resistant to such phages but which still produce the OmpA protein. None of the mutants was able to either irreversibly or reversibly bind the phage with which they had been selected. Also, the OmpA protein is required for the actio...
متن کاملExport of FepA::PhoA fusion proteins to the outer membrane of Escherichia coli K-12.
A library of fepA::phoA gene fusions was generated in order to study the structure and secretion of the Escherichia coli K-12 ferric enterobactin receptor, FepA. All of the fusion proteins contained various lengths of the amino-terminal portion of FepA fused in frame to the catalytic portion of bacterial alkaline phosphatase. Localization of FepA::PhoA fusion proteins in the cell envelope was d...
متن کاملExport and localization of N-terminally truncated derivatives of Escherichia coli K-12 outer membrane protein PhoE.
To identify export and sorting information in outer membrane protein PhoE of Escherichia coli K-12, a set of deletions was created, resulting in the removal of N-terminal amino acids of the mature protein. Pulse-chase experiments revealed that some mutant proteins were slowly or not at all processed, but there was not correlation between processing rate and the extent of the deletions. The unpr...
