Description
OmpR is a DNA-binding protein (transcription factor) that is phosphorylated or dephosphorylated by EnvZ depending the osmolarity of the medium. Phosphorylated OmpR (OmpR-P) binds to sites within ompCp and ompFp. Low levels of OmpR-P upregulate ompF transcription. High levels of OmpR-P upregulate ompC transcription and repress ompF transcription (see Egger et al., 1997).BEWARE: The iGEM repository uses ompR and OmpR where they mean to say ompCp/OmpR-binding site.
