Protein I, one of the major outer membrane proteins of E. coli in most K12 strains is represented by two very similar polypeptides Ia and Ib. Sequential mutations (involving selections for phage resistance) can lead to loss of proteins Ia and Ib. Among "revertants" of such Ia-Ib- mutants clones exis

Mutants of E. coli resistant to bacteriophage T2 have lowered amounts of protein Ia in their outer membrane. Bacteriophage T2 was inactivated by a mixture of protein Ia-lipopolysaccharide. Protein Ia or lipopolysaccharide alone had no neutralizing activity. However, only protein Ia was required to i
The gene ompA encodes a major outer membrane protein of Escherichia coli. Localized mutagenesis of the part of the gene corresponding to the 21-residue signal sequence and the first 45 residues of the protein resulted in alterations which caused cell lysis when expressed. DNA sequence analyses revea
To study the structure-function relationship of outer membrane pore proteins of E. coli K12, a hybrid gene was constructed in which the DNA encoding amino acid residues 2-73 of the mature PhoE protein is replaced by the homologous part of the related ompF gene. The product of this gene is incorporat
