The gene for a new outer membrane-associated protease, designated OmpP, of Escherichia coli has been cloned and sequenced. The gene encodes a 315-residue precursor protein possessing a 23-residue signal sequence. Including conservative substitutions and omitting the signal peptides, OmpP is 87% identical to the outer membrane protease OmpT. OmpP possessed the same enzymatic activity as OmpT. Immuno-electron microscopy demonstrated the exposure of the protein at the cell surface. Digestion of int ...[more]
