pCpxR (CpxR responsive promoter)

This is an adhesion responsive promoter (specifically adhesion to hydrophobic surfaces), and can be used to upregulate downstream gene expression in response to adhesion to such surfaces. It contains the binding site for CpxR-P (phosphorylated CpxR). CpxR is one member of the two-component Cpx response to envelope stress. Briefly, envelope stress causes CpxA, an inner-membrane histidine Kinase to Phosphorylate CpxR, allowing it to bind to CpxR-P responsive regions and regulate downstream target genes. See references for further information.
