Studies of the structure, evolution, and TonB-dependence of the colicin I receptor of Escherichia coli

The colicin I receptor (Cir) is an outer membrane protein, the expression of which is iron regulated. The DNA downstream of the cloned cir gene, when expressed in a maxicell system, encoded a protein of molecular weight 32,000. The expression of this protein was determined to be directed toward the cir gene and uneffected by iron. When the gene was inactivated by insertional mutagenesis, Cir expression and function were unaltered. The gene encoding the 32 kD protein was sequenced. The predicted protein sequence was not significantly related to any of the protein sequences found in the GenBank protein database.
