Outer Membrane Protein A (OmpA)
Description
Outer membrane protein A (OmpA) is a 35 kDa transmembrane protein found in many enterobacteria. It is responsible for maintaining the stability of the bacterial membrane and cell signaling. [1]
Biology
In E. coli, the β-barrel conformation of OmpA is composed of extracellular loops that help play a role in the detection of outer membrane stress and binding of extracellular molecules. OmpA also serves as a porin channel that regulates water transport within the bacterial cell. [2]
Usage
In our project, the sequence of OmpA protein was used to construct the OmpA/OprF chimeric protein.
