Description
CpxR is a transciption factor that dimerizes and becomes active when phosphorylated by the transmembrane histidine kinase CpxA. CpxA in turn becomes active when the bacterial cell is submitted to different kinds of shock (pH, temperature, pressure, protein misfolding in the inter-membrane space...).
Notes
When making composite parts with CpxR that are supposed to dimerize, we had to take care about the positioning of the other elements regarding the parallel dimerization of CpxR.
Source
The part has been extracted from the E coli genome.
