csgA | Curlin major subunit; Curlin is the structural subunit of the curli. Curli are coiled surface structures that assemble preferentially at growth temperatures below 37 degrees Celsius. Curli can bind to fibronectin; Belongs to the CsgA/CsgB family. (151 aa) | ||||
csgD | Putative transcriptional regulator; Necessary for transcription of the csgAB operon. May have the capability to respond to starvation and/or high cell density by activating csgBA transcription (By similarity). (216 aa) | ||||
yhjO | Glycosyltransferase; Catalytic subunit of cellulose synthase. It polymerizes uridine 5'-diphosphate glucose to cellulose, which is produced as an extracellular component for mechanical and chemical protection at the onset of the stationary phase, when the cells exhibit multicellular behavior (rdar morphotype). Coexpression of cellulose and thin aggregative fimbriae leads to a hydrophobic network with tightly packed cells embedded in a highly inert matrix. (874 aa) |
