Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
cyclic-3',5'-diguanylate activates cellulose synthesis allosterically and binds BcsA-B with high affinity. The tight association of BcsA's PilZ and GT domains suggests that cyclic-3',5'-diguanylate controls the accessibility of the GT active site. Titrating UDP-Glc at different cyclic-3',5'-diguanylate concentrations shows that the maximum catalytic activity achieved depends on the overall c-di-GMP concentration, whereas the apparent affinity for UDP-Glc remains within 0.1-1.0 mM, comparable with the Km of 0.5 mM for UDP-Glc determined in the presence of 0.030 mM cyclic-3',5'-diguanylate. The cyclic-3',5'-diguanylate binding PilZ domain of cellulose synthase is a part of the catalytic BcsA subunit. Cyclic-3',5'-diguanylate does not alter BcsA's apparent affinity for UDP-Glc, yet it increases BcsA's apparent catalytic rate in vitro at least 10fold Cereibacter sphaeroides

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
additional information BcsA and BcsB form the catalytically active core of bacterial cellulose synthase sufficient for in vitro cellulose synthesis Cereibacter sphaeroides
physiological function in bacteria, cellulose synthesis and translocation is catalyzed by the inner membrane-associated bacterial cellulose synthase (Bcs)A and BcsB subunits. Similar to alginate and poly-beta-1,6 N-acetylglucosamine, bacterial cellulose is implicated in the formation of sessile bacterial communities, termed biofilms, and its synthesis is likewise stimulated by cyclic-di-GMP. The membrane-associated domain of BcsB is required for cellulose synthesis Cereibacter sphaeroides
