The Response Regulator OmpR Negatively Controls the Expression of Genes Implicated in Tilimycin and Tilivalline Cytotoxin Production in <i>Klebsiella oxytoca</i> by Ramón G. Varela-Nájera, Miguel A. De la Cruz, Jorge Soria-Bustos, Carmen González-Horta, Ma Carmen E. Delgado-Gardea, Jorge A. Yáñez-Santos, María L. Cedillo, Hidetada Hirakawa, James G. Fox, Blanca Sánchez-Ramírez, Miguel A. Ares

“…Our research highlights the pivotal role of OmpR, a key regulator within the EnvZ/OmpR two-component system, in controlling the virulence factors associated with <i>K. oxytoca</i>. Our findings strongly indicate that OmpR is a repressor of the <i>aroX</i> and <i>npsA</i> genes, the first genes of <i>aroX</i> and NRPS operons, respectively, which are indispensable for producing these enterotoxins. …”

Minimal state models for ionic channels involved in glucagon secretion by Virginia González-Vélez, Amparo Gil, Iván Quesada

“…We have also found that our estimated N-type calcium channel population and density in alpha cells is in good agreement to those reported for L-type calcium channelsin beta cells. This finding is strongly relevant since both, L-type and N-type calcium channels, play a main role in insulin and glucagon secretion, respectively.…”
