acsCD

This part contains the coding sequence, previously codon-optimised for expression in Escherichia coli, of the Cellulose Synthesis elements AcsC and AcsD. In Gluconacetobacter xylinus, the Acs cellulose synthesis operon is a functional unit that codes for four essential elements for cellulose assembly and release into the extracellular space. Even though the functions of AcsC and AcsD are still not very well understood and very little is known about the assembly, localisation and activity of this biosynthetic process, these proteins are required for optimal production yields. AcsC is believed to code for an oligomeric protein that becomes embedded in the extracellular membrane for further pore formation and subsequent release of the growing polymer into the extracellular space. On the other hand, AcsD improves yields by optimising crystallisation, but the function and localisation of this element have not yet been fully determined.
