| Abstract | The ompA protein, an outer membrane protein required for conjugation, is one of the most abundant proteins in Escherichia coli. The structural gene for the ompA protein cloned in a plasmid vector, pMF21, conferred sensitivity to ompA protein-specific phages. We have determined the DNA sequence of a fragment of 533 base pairs encompassing the regulatory region of the ompA gene: the promoter region, the 5′-untranslated region, and the region corresponding to the signal peptide for this secretory protein. The promoter region has a sequence that is remarkably homologous with the lac and gal promoters. Particularly, both the ompA and gal promoters have the same octanucleotide sequence, T-C-A-C-A-C-T-T, in their RNA polymerase recognition site, which has been shown to be involved in the binding of cyclic AMP receptor protein to the gal promoter. Analogous with the observations in the gal operon, a specific RNA transcript was produced only when glycerol, a DNA-destabilizing agent, was added to a cell-free system directed by a DNA fragment of the ompA gene. These data indicate that the ompA mRNA has an untranslated region at the 5′ end of about 140 nucleotides. In this region there are two additional initiation codons (II and III) besides the initiation codon (I) for the pro-ompA protein. AUG-III is located 30 bases upstream from AUG-I and accompanies a ribosome-binding site. Therefore, AUG-III is likely to begin the synthesis of a pentapeptide. The termination codon for the peptide overlaps with AUG-II, so that the ribosomes could reinitiate from AUG-II without being released from the mRNA. This reinitiation leads to the synthesis of a heptapeptide. The termination codon for this peptide also overlaps with AUG-I, which initiates the production of the pro-ompA protein. Because AUG-I also has an adjacent ribosome-binding site, the tandem repeat of initiation codons and ribosome-binding sites may be an important mechanism for facilitating the rate of initiation of translation. Extensive secondary structures exist in the 5′ end as well as in the coding region of the ompA mRNA, which may also play a role in the function of the mRNA. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
