Bacterial cellulose synthase Z (BcsZ) 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, and 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.We introduced the Acetobacter xylinum bacterial cellulose synthase gene (including BcsZ, H, A, B, C, D, LX) into the model organism Synechocystis, the part is facilitate the in-depth research for other teams.
