Identification
Name:Cellulose synthase catalytic subunit [UDP-forming]
Synonyms:Not Available
Gene Name:bcsA
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in cellulose synthase activity
Specific Function:Catalytic subunit of cellulose synthase. It polymerizes uridine 5'-diphosphate glucose to cellulose, which is produced as an extracellular component for mechanical and chemical protection at the onset of the stationary phase, when the cells exhibit multicellular behavior (rdar morphotype). Coexpression of cellulose and thin aggregative fimbriae leads to a hydrophobic network with tightly packed cells embedded in a highly inert matrix
Cellular Location:Cell inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (Potential)
