The cpxR gene, encoding a new cytoplasmic response regulator, which effects virulence, biofilm formation, chemotaxis, resistance to antimicrobials, and controls soft rot, was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction, cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pET-15b, and expressed through the induction of isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactoside in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). Then, highly purified and stable CpxR protein was produced by nickel affinity chromatography and fast protein liquid chromatography, digested by thrombin and identified by Western blotting. Furthermore, the structure of the CpxR protein was estimated by circular dichroism spectroscopy and SWISS-MODEL. The CpxR protein was a functional part in signal transduction and bacterial resistance for Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis. The resear ch of the protein stability indicated the CpxR protein had excellent thermal stability and was suitable for crystallization. Then the small crystals of CpxR protein were found in the crystallizing tank. The latest 34 cpxR sequences from the public database were selected and analyzed by molecular clustering and multisequence alignment. These cpxR sequences were roughly divided into four categories. These results laid an important foundation for the further structural study of the CpxR protein. © 2021 International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.
