Local signaling enhances output specificity of bacterial c-di-GMP signaling networks
For many years the surprising multiplicity, signal input diversity, and output specificity of c-di-GMP signaling proteins has intrigued researchers studying bacterial second messengers.

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.

Actinobacteria are ubiquitous bacteria undergoing complex developmental transitions coinciding with antibiotic production in response to stress or nutrient starvation. This transition is mainly controlled by the interaction between the second messenger c-

Clostridioides difficile is the leading cause of nosocomial antibiotic-associated diarrhoea worldwide, yet there is little insight into intestinal tract colonisation and relapse.

Microbial biofilms are involved in a number of infections that cannot be cured, as microbes in biofilms resist host immune defenses and antibiotic therapies.

The role of RNA regulators, quorum sensing and c‐di‐GMP in bacterial biofilm formation
Biofilms provide an ecological advantage against many environmental stressors, such as pH and temperature, making it the most common life‐cycle stage for many bacteria.

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

Transcription of the Alginate Operon in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Is Regulated by c-di-GMP
The proliferation of alginate-overproducing P. aeruginosa variants in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients often leads to chronic infection. The alginate functions as a biofilm matrix that protects the bacteria against host immune defenses and ...

Thiophosphate Analogs of c-di-GMP: Impact on Polymorphism [PDF]
Seven phosphorothioate analogs of c-di-GMP (all diastereomers of mono-, di-, and trithiophosphates) were prepared to assess the impact of the thioate substitutions on c-di-GMP polymorphism using 1D (1)H and (31)P NMR, along with 2D NOESY and DOSY, for both the Na(+) and K(+) salts.

The activation of the stimulating factor of the interferon gene (STING) pathway can enhance the immune response within the tumor. Cyclic diguanylate monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is a negatively charged, hydrophilic STING agonist, however, its effectiveness ...
