The Lipoprotein NlpE Is a Cpx Sensor That Serves as a Sentinel for Protein Sorting and Folding Defects in the Escherichia coli Envelope

The envelope of Gram-negative bacteria is a complex compartment that is essential for viability. To ensure survival of the bacterial cells in fluctuating environments, several signal transduction systems, called envelope stress response systems (ESRSs), exist to monitor envelope biogenesis and homeo...
