Conclusions
In summary, the deduced amino acid sequence of OmpF-like porin from Y. pseudotuberculosis is not very closely related to OmpF of E. coli but is very similar to OmpF of S. marcescens. Analysis of the upstream region of the putative ompC gene of Y. pestis reveals an ompF-like promotor motif. Thus the data presented here suggests that the Y. pseudotuberculosis porin belongs to OmpF-like porins.
