Description
AI-generatedUnreviewed
The protein family is involved in various biological processes, including bacterial cellulose synthesis, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) assembly, and photosystem I (PSI) assembly. Members of the AcsC/BcsC subfamily are essential for bacterial cellulose synthesis, possibly participating in membrane complex formation for cellulose extrusion. The LapB subfamily proteins modulate cellular LPS levels, influencing lipid A biosynthesis by regulating LpxC and potentially coordinating LPS synthesis proteins at the plasma membrane. The Ycf3 subfamily members are crucial for PSI complex assembly, acting as chaperone-like factors for PSI subunit assembly. The diverse functions of these proteins highlight their roles in cellular structure, energy capture, and membrane synthesis.
