Cellulose synthase 1

UniProtKB accession:  P0CW87

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  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).
