description: Cellulose is necessary for biofilm formation in bacteria and is synthesized by the bacterial
  cellulose biosynthesis complex (Bcs) which is widespread among beta and gamma proteobacteria [[cite:PUB00075887],[cite:PUB00105928]].
  CBP_BcsR is a small subunit of this complex, essential for cellulose secretion [[cite:PUB00105928]].
  It may play a regulatory role together with BcsQ subunit as they form a subcomplex with chaperone-like
  function toward each other [[cite:PUB00151583]]. BcsR stabilizes BcsQ to form monodisperse BcsR2Q2 heterotetramers
  in solution and BcsQ may play a role in the folding and subsequent stability of BcsR [[cite:PUB00151583]].
