recommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of molecular biology"

DOI: 10.1016/j.jmb.2018.07.008

Abstract: Many bacteria secrete cellulose, which forms the structural basis for bacterial multicellular aggregates, termed biofilms. The cellulose synthase complex of Salmonella typhimurium consists of the catalytic subunits BcsA and BcsB and several auxiliary subunits that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jmb.2020.06.016

Abstract: Protein glycosylation constitutes a critical post-translational modification that supports a vast number of biological functions in living organisms across all domains of life. A seemingly boundless number of enzymes, glycosyltransferases, are involved in the biosynthesis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.str.2019.09.008

Abstract: Extracellular bacterial cellulose contributes to biofilm stability and to the integrity of the bacterial cell envelope. In Gram-negative bacteria, cellulose is synthesized and secreted by a multi-component cellulose synthase complex. The BcsA subunit synthesizes cellulose… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.biomac.2c00550

Abstract: Higher plants synthesize cellulose using membrane-bound, six-lobed cellulose synthase complexes, each lobe containing trimeric cellulose synthases (CESAs). Although molecular biology reports support heteromeric trimers composed of different isoforms, a homomeric trimer was reported for in… read more here.
