Systematic Identification of Cyclic-di-GMP Binding Proteins in Vibrio cholerae Reveals a Novel Class of Cyclic-di-GMP-Binding ATPases Associated with Type II Secretion Systems. [PDF]
Cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is a ubiquitous bacterial signaling molecule that regulates a variety of complex processes through a diverse set of c-di-GMP receptor proteins.

High Levels of Cyclic Diguanylate Interfere with Beneficial Bacterial Colonization
During colonization of the Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes), Vibrio fischeri bacteria undergo a lifestyle transition from a planktonic motile state in the environment to a biofilm state in host mucus.

Reciprocal c-di-GMP signaling: Incomplete flagellum biogenesis triggers c-di-GMP signaling pathways that promote biofilm formation [PDF]
The assembly status of the V. cholerae flagellum regulates biofilm formation, suggesting that the bacterium senses a lack of movement to commit to a sessile lifestyle. Motility and biofilm formation are inversely regulated by the second messenger molecule cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP).

Dickeya dadantii is a phytopathogenic bacterium that causes diseases on a wide range of host plants. The pathogen secretes pectate lyases (Pel) through the type II secretion system (T2SS) that degrades the cell wall in host plants.

Polymorphism of the Signaling Molecule c-di-GMP [PDF]
Using UV, CD, and NMR, we demonstrate that the important bacterial signaling molecule involved in biofilm formation, cyclic diguanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP), exists as a mixture of five different but related structures in an equilibrium that is sensitive both to its concentration and to the metal present. At the lower concentrations used for UV and

Bacterial c-di-GMP Is an Immunostimulatory Molecule [PDF]
Abstract Cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) is a bacterial intracellular signaling molecule. We have shown that treatment with exogenous c-di-GMP inhibits Staphylococcus aureus infection in a mouse model. We now report that c-di-GMP is an immodulator and immunostimulatory molecule.

Protein Deacetylase CobB Interplays with c-di-GMP [PDF]
AbstractAs a ubiquitous bacterial secondary messenger, c-di-GMP plays key regulatory roles in processes such as bacterial motility and transcription regulation. CobB is the Sir2 family protein deacetylase that controls energy metabolism, chemotaxis and DNA supercoiling in many bacteria. Using anE.coliproteome microarray, we found that c-di-GMP strongly

Modulation of the intracellular cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) pool is central to the formation of structured bacterial communities. Genome annotations predict the presence of dozens of conserved c-di-GMP catalytic enzymes in many bacterial species, but the ...

Polarity of c-di-GMP synthesis and degradation
AbstractThe bacterial cell pole has long been recognized as a defined compartment for enzymatic activities that are important or even vital for the cell. Polarity of diguanylate cyclases and phosphodiesterases, enzymes that synthesize and degrade the second messenger c-di-GMP, has now been demonstrated for several bacterial systems.
