Sensory histidine kinase in two-component regulatory system with CpxR; Histidine kinase member of the two-component regulatory system CpxA/CpxR which responds to envelope stress response by activating expression of downstream genes including cpxP, degP, dsbA and ppiA. Activates CpxR by phosphorylation; has autokinase, phosphotransferase and (in the presence of Mg(2+) and/or ATP or ADP) phosphatase activity. The kinase activity is inhibited by periplasmic accessory protein CpxP; proteolysis of CpxP relieves inhibition. Involved in several diverse cellular processes, including the functi [...]

Response regulator in two-component regulatory system with CpxA; Response regulator member of the two-component regulatory system CpxA/CpxR which responds to envelope stress response by activating expression of downstream genes including cpxP, degP, dsbA and ppiA.

Induced upon cell surface binding, subsequently induces genes it controls (cpxP, dsbA and spy, degP is only partially induced). Binds and activates transcription from the degP promoter ; binding is enhan [...]

Lipoprotein involved with copper homeostasis and adhesion; Involved in copper homeostasis, could be involved in both copper efflux and the delivery of copper to copper-dependent enzymes. Required for efficient binding of stationary phase cells to hydrophobic surfaces, part of the process of biofilm formation. Functions during envelope stress responses; when overproduced induces degP through the activation of the two-component envelope stress response system CpxA/CpxR. DegP induction seems to require membrane anchoring of this protein. Structural changes and/or interaction of the CXXC m [...]

Diguanylate cyclase, cellulose regualtor; A probable diguanylate cyclase. The last member of a cascade of expressed proteins, its expression requires DgcM. DgcC production induces biosynthesis of cellulose in some E.coli isolates, but not in K12 strains. Cyclic-di-GMP is a second messenger which controls cell surface-associated traits in bacteria.

Curlin subunit, amyloid curli fibers, cryptic; Curlin is the structural subunit of the curli fimbriae. Curli are coiled surface structures that assemble preferentially at growth temperatures below 37 degrees Celsius. Curli can bind to fibronectin; Belongs to the CsgA/CsgB family.
