Activation of the Cpx Envelope Stress Response Down-Regulates Expression of Several Locus of Enterocyte Effacement-Encoded Genes in Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli
29 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
The Cpx two-component system regulates an extracytoplasmic stress response that functions to rid the envelope of misfolded and mislocalized proteins that may interfere with normal cellular processes. The Cpx pathway is also involved in pathogenesis. This study investigated the role of the Cpx response in enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) type III secretion (T3S). It was determined that a functional Cpx...
