PilZ is a c-di-GMP binding domain [3] found in widespread cytoplasmic receptors, which is involved in regulation of motility, biofilm formation and virulence of many bacterial pathogens. This domain binds c-di-GMP through RXXXR and [D/N]hSXXG motifs, however, some PilZ domains lack these motifs and do not bind c-di-GMP [6]. Proteins which contain PilZ are known to interact with the flagellar switch-complex proteins FliG and FliM. This interaction results in a reduction of torque generation and induces CCW motor bias [5]. This is the canonical PilZ domain whose structure consists of six beta-strands that form a beta barrel, followed by a long C-terminal alpha-helix [6].

CBP_BcsG is a component of bacterial cellulose synthase complex that plays a role in biofilm formation in bacteria [1]. It is a Zn(2+)-dependent phosphoethanolamine transferase that catalyses transfer of phosphoethanolamine residues from membrane phosphatidylethanolamine to the glucosyl residues in the nascent cellulose chain [2-5]. This entry represents the C-terminal domain which functions as a phosphoethanolamine transferase [5].
