| UniProt functional annotation for P06996 | |||
| UniProt code: P06996. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | Forms pores that allow passive diffusion of small molecules across the outer membrane. | |
| Function: | (Microbial infection) Supports colicin E5 entry in the absence of its major receptor OmpF. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:27723824}. | |
| Function: | (Microbial infection) A mixed OmpC-OmpF heterotrimer is the outer membrane receptor for toxin CdiA-EC536; polymorphisms in extracellular loops 4 and 5 of OmpC confer susceptibility to CdiA- EC536-mediated toxicity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27723824}. | |
| Subunit: | Homotrimer (PubMed:2464593, PubMed:16949612). Forms mixed heterotrimers with OmpF and with PhoE; other mixed heterotrimers are also probable (PubMed:2464593). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16949612, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2464593}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell outer membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2464593}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16949612}. | |
| Induction: | By growth in high osmolarity conditions (high sugar or salt) under control of OmpR (at protein level) (PubMed:3010044, PubMed:2464593). In the presence of 0.2 M NaCl, 2.0 mM sodium cholate (bile salts) decreases expression from the ompC promoter; how this is mediated is unknown (PubMed:28423182). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2464593, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28423182, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3010044}. | |
| Domain: | Loop L3 (residues 116-133) extends along the inner side of the beta barrel wall and may constrict the pore mid-length. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16949612}. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | Deletion of both ompC and ompF confers resistance to colicin E5 and to the toxic activity of CdiA-EC536. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27723824}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Binds 1 Mg(2+) per subunit; could be Ca(2+) in vivo. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the Gram-negative porin family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
