Colanic acid global regulator -> RcsB
RcsB is a receiver protein in a two component phosphorelay system, which acts as a positive regulator of the capsule genes resulting in colanic acid production. 2 This is via the activation of the ugd/cps operon which is required for capsule synthesis.
Colanic acid is a heteropolymer containing glucose, galactose, fucose, and glucuronic acid.
It is important to note that RcsB is a central protein in a series of downstream pathways, including the protein ftsZ that affects cell division. 1
