OmpC

OmpC is a porin gene, whose promoter is controlled by the transcription factor OmpR part of the EnvZ/OmpR two component system. The EnvZ/OmpR two-component system in normal conditions controls the expression of the ompC and ompF porin genes, controlling iron homeostasis (1). Being this part native of E.coli, it has directly been amplified from the organism that we are working on: E.coli Nissle 1917. Since this part originally upstream the OmpC gene, it also contains its native rbs. E.coli OmpC without rbs is under the iGEM registry code BBa_K769001.
