Bacterial cellulose synthase Z (BcsZ)
The BBa_K2559000 is an endoglucanase (Bcs Z) involved in the process of cellulose hydrolysis, and its roles in cellulose biosynthesis have long remained obscure.
Usage and Biology
Bacterial cellulose synthase Z (bcsZ) from several bacteria have been shown to possess an endo-β-1,4-glucanase (cellulase) activity, and E. coli protein was even crystallized in a complex with the substrate cellopentaose, however, the roles in cellulose biosynthesis have long remained obscure. We suspect that the BcsZ and BlgX may help the cell form the correct cellulose configuration through selective digestion.[1] We introduced bcsZ, H, A, B, C, D, bglX from the Acetobacter xylinum which involve in the process of bacterial cellulose synthesis into the model organism cyanobacteria (Synechocystis sp.pcc6803),and we obtain the transgenic cyanobacteria.
Figure2 Degradation of CMC by BcsZ The BcsZ in E. coli was even crystallized in a complex with the substrate cellopentaose.When BcsZ-overexpressing E. coli cells were grown on agar plates containing 2% CMC, a clear halo appeared around the colonies after staining with Congo Red.Purified cellulase from Aspergillus niger (Tokyo Chemical Industry, GenBank entry CAA03658.1) and bovine serum albumin served as positive and negative controls, respectively.[2]
Figure3 Cyanobacteria glucose content measurement (3 repeat). The same of quality of transferred cyanobacteria with bcsZH-ABCD-bglX gene and wildtype are treated with lysozyme to break out the cell. The glucose represents the content of cellulose. The addition of cellulase can digest the cellulose to glucose then the bacterial cellulose can measured. The distinct differences between the red column and blue column indicate the high expression intensity of bacteria cellulose. Wilcoxon test indicates our data is reliable.
