Sequence of the regulatory region of ompT, the gene specifying major outer membrane protein a (3b) of Escherichia coli K-12: Implications for regulation and processing
Tóm tắt
The DNA of the promoter region of ompT, including the putative start for the pro-OmpT protein (proprotein a), has been sequenced. Previous studies showed that trypsin inhibitors prevent the processing of pro-OmpT to OmpT protein which led to the prediction that the processing site would be a lysine or an arginine. The deduced amino acid sequence contains a lysine at amino acid 12 and an arginine at amino acid 17 from the N terminus. Chou-Fassman analysis would predict processing at the lysine (but not the arginine) to remove a 1389 dalton peptide, consistent with the fact that the estimated molecular masses of pro-OmpT and OmpT are 42 kd and 40 kd respectively. In addition, the predicted mRNA of the promoter region can form a stable secondary structure (-17.1 kcal) that sequesters the Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence as well as the initiator AUG codon. There is evidence that the perA (tpo, envZ) gene product is required for synthesis of OmpT protein (as well as several outer membrane and periplasmic proteins). The perA gene product could be activating translation of OmpT protein by disrupting the mRNA secondary structure that sequesters the SD sequence. OmpT protein synthesis is reduced at temperatures below 32°C and this may also be related to the greater stability of the sequestered SD sequence of the mRNA at low temperature.
