Phosphorylation of OmpR by the osmosensor EnvZ modulates expression of the ompF and ompC genes in Escherichia coli.
Open accessAbstract
EnvZ and OmpR, the regulatory proteins for ompF and ompC expression in Escherichia coli, belong to a modulator-effector family of regulatory proteins which are essential for the response to environmental signals. We show that the soluble cytoplasmic domain of the transmembrane modulator protein EnvZ is phosphorylated in vitro by [gamma-32P]-ATP. We also demonstrate that the phosphate group can, in turn, be transferred to the transcription activator protein OmpR. The pH stability properties of the phosphate groups linked to EnvZ indicate that this molecule contains histidyl phosphate. The invariant His-243 of EnvZ corresponds to the phosphorylated His-48 of the chemotactic modulator protein CheA. Substitution of His-243 with valine produces an EnvZ that is refractory to phosphorylation and can no longer catalyze the transfer of phosphate to OmpR. Furthermore, in a delta envZ strain of E. coli, containing the envZ Val-243 plasmid, ompC expression is elevated 7-fold relative to that found in cells carrying the wild-type envZ plasmid. Based on these results we propose a model in which the phosphorylated state of OmpR modulates the expression of the ompF and ompC genes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
