4i86
From Proteopedia
Crystal structure of PilZ domain of CeSA from cellulose synthesizing bacterium
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 23291177
Function
[ACSA1_GLUXY] Bifunctional protein comprised of a catalytic subunit and a regulatory subunit. The catalytic subunit of cellulose synthase polymerizes uridine 5'-diphosphate glucose to cellulose in a processive way. The thick cellulosic mats generated by this enzyme probably provide a specialized protective environment to the bacterium. The regulatory subunit binds bis-(3'-5') cyclic diguanylic acid (c-di-GMP).
About this Structure
4i86 is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Gluconacetobacter xylinus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
