Biochemical and structural characterization of CpxP and CpxA, key components of an envelope stress response in Escherichia coli
DownloadFall 2012
The Cpx two‐component signal transduction pathway of Escherichia coli consists of an inner membrane‐localized sensor histidine kinase, CpxA, the response regulator, CpxR, and the novel periplasmic accessory protein, CpxP. These proteins mediate a bacterial stress response, sensing envelope...

The fitness and survival of bacteria depends on their ability to adapt and survive in different ecological niches during its life cycle. Bacteria must therefore be able to sense the different changes in the environment during the transition between different ecological niches to enhance survival....

The Cpx envelope stress response of Escherichia coli regulates and is regulated by the small RNA RprA
DownloadFall 2015
When bacteria sense changes in their environment, they adapt by altering the expression of their genes in such a way that accommodates the change. To do this, bacterial cells can modulate the activity of their genes at either the level of transcription, or at the post-transcriptional level....

The role of cysteine and the Cpx envelope stress response in alleviating zinc induced stress in Escherichia coli
DownloadFall 2018
Circumscribing the interior of Gram negative bacteria are two sets of layers: an inner and outer membrane. The periplasm and murein occupy the space between these membranes and acts as a site for protein folding and degradation. The bacterial envelope, as a whole, plays an essential role in the...
