| UniProt functional annotation for P02931 | |||
| UniProt code: P02931. |
| 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. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:19721064}. | |
| Function: | (Microbial infection) It is also a receptor for the bacteriophage T2. Is the major receptor for colicin E5 (Probable). {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:16079137). Forms mixed heterotrimers with OmpC and with PhoE; other mixed heterotrimers are also probable (PubMed:2464593). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16079137, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2464593}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell outer membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16079137, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2464593}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16079137}. | |
| Induction: | By growth in low osmolarity conditions (low sugar or salt); activated at low osmolarity by OmpR, repressed at high osmolarity by OmpR (at protein level) (PubMed:3010044, PubMed:2464593). Levels of OmpF protein decrease in a lon/ycgE double disruption (at protein level) (PubMed:19721064). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19721064, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2464593, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3010044}. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | Leads to decreased susceptibility to a number of hydrophilic antibiotics including ampicillin, cefoxitin and tetracycline (PubMed:19721064). Deletion of ompF confers resistance to colicin E5 (PubMed:27723824). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19721064, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27723824}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the Gram-negative porin family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
