In Escherichia coli, levels of the two major outer membrane porin proteins, OmpF and
OmpC, are regulated in response to a variety of environmental parameters, and numerous …

The regulatory regions for 119 Escherichia coli promoters have been analyzed, and the
locations of the regulatory sites have been cataloged. The following observations emerge.(i) …

The early notion of DNA as a passive target for regulatory proteins has given way to the
realization that higher-order DNA structures and DNA-protein complexes are at the basis of …

The micF gene is a stress response gene found in Escherichia coli and related bacteria that
post-transcriptionally controls expression of the outer membrane porin gene ompF. The micF …

Integration host factor (IHF) of Escherichia coli is an asymmetric histone‐like protein that
binds and bends the DNA at specific sequences. IHF functions as an accessory factor in a …

Two-component regulatory systems represent the major paradigm for signal transduction in
prokaryotes. The simplest systems are composed of a sensor kinase and a response …

We performed transposon mutagenesis of a two-color fluorescent reporter strain to identify
new regulators of the porin genes ompF and ompC in Escherichia coli. Screening of …

Bacteria have a great capacity for adjusting their metabolism in response to environmental
changes by linking extracellular stimuli to the regulation of genes by transcription factors. By …

It is quite important to understand the overall metabolic regulation mechanism of bacterial
cells such as Escherichia coli from both science (such as biochemistry) and engineering …

Integration host factor is a sequence‐specific, histone‐like, multifunctional DNA‐binding and‐
bending protein of Escherichia coli. The characterization and functional analysis of this …
