Roles of the EnvZ/OmpR Two-Component System and Porins in Iron Acquisition in Escherichia coli

The work presented here solved a long-standing paradox of the negative effects of certain missense alleles of envZ, which codes for kinase of the EnvZ/OmpR two-component system, on the expression of ferric uptake genes. The data revealed that the constitutive envZ alleles activate the Feo- and OmpC-...
