CpxA (Conjugative Plasmid Expression) is the 458 amino acid protein, a bacterial inner membrane histidine protein kinase, responsible for sensing misfolded proteins in the periplasm. It is part of CpxA/CpxR two component signal transduction system, where CpxR is the cognate response regulator. In sensing bacterial envelope stress, the Cpx pathway regulates the production of a number of periplasmic folding and trafficking factors to maintain outer membrane integrity. It is also responsible for global control of virulence factor expression. Alternative name: Integral membrane sensor signal transduction histidine kinase.

免疫原
Recombinant CpxA (residues 26 to 168) over-expressed as a N-terminal fusion with His(x6)-tag, which was removed prior to immunization. The antigen originates from enteropathogenic Yersinia pseudotuberculosis YPIII; B1JQV1, NCBI annotated locus tag YPK_4133.
